Chris Young

Fitness Manager

Background
I have enjoyed being active my entire life, from my early wrestling days to the time I spent being involved with Spartan Race. Nowadays, my focus of training is around health, function, and longevity. I exercise simply to feel good, keep old injuries at bay, and to have the energy I need to continue on life’s journey.

Fitness Philosophy
My best advice is to take your time and progress gradually. Avoid trying to do too much too soon which can lead to injury and burnout.

Education
B.S. Exercise Physiology, University of Massachusetts Boston

About Me
Professionally, I manage a fitness center in a continuing care retirement community full time. Often our team works with individuals living with chronic medical conditions and orthopedic injuries. Personally, I take a balanced approach to my own exercise program by incorporating resistance, cardiorespiratory, and flexibility training. I also try to get outside as much as possible and encourage others to do the same. Fresh air and nature can be very therapeutic!
