YOUR GOALS REACHED REMOTELY
From 2009 to 2020 I successfully operated Urban Strength Institute in Chicago and trained a numerous of different athletes from multiple sports as well as working class people that simply wanted to lose body fat, gain some muscle, and get stronger. In September of 2020 I relocated to South Carolina and opened my third gym Ascend Perform. I decided to keep this website up to use for virtual clients that wanted to work with me.
“CHRIS GRAYSON IS AN ANOMALY OF SORTS.
HE’S AN EXPERT WITH A BEGINNER’S MIND.”
Kevin Tate (past client)
21 years of experience and research have been refined down into my principles and methods.
I believe I have a healthy amount of skepticism regarding any biases I have towards training. Because of this my passion for what I do has never dropped, and I continue to learn and invest in my knowledge. Most coaches will brag about how great they are at their job. I prefer to let my clients speak for me, so I encourage you to read the testimonials.
