Chris Roy is a lifestyle coach and personal trainer specializing in mindset, fitness, and nutrition. He is also a CrossFit L-1 trainer, father, and heart attack survivor who had been living a life of gluttony, substance abuse, and caffeine addiction.

Chris got a wake-up call in May of 2019 when he had a heart attack in front of his daughter in a local coffee shop which left him fighting for his life at the age of thirty-three. Through dedication and education, he recreated his life and lifestyle to show others and encourage them to reclaim their health to live the life that they and their loved ones deserve.

Chris describes his lifelong struggle with emotional eating and lack of self-awareness. After his heart attack, he began making small changes in his lifestyle, starting with a regime of eliminating sugar, increasing his water intake, supplementation, and walking. By making these simple changes, in just a few short weeks he noticed a significant improvement in his overall health and well-being.

That launched Chris on a journey of self-awareness, self-reflection, and continuing to make better choices. Armed with his faith along with his own small team of fitness and nutritional experts who helped him create a lifestyle which continued his positive trajectory of health and fitness, Chris realized that he was capable of so much more than he ever thought possible, and now he helps others do the same.
