Chris is a Strength & Conditioning Coach who is passionate about helping people live healthier and more active lives.

I studied at Leeds Beckett University, where I completed an undergraduate degree in Sport & Exercise Science followed by a Master’s degree in Biomechanics. This academic foundation provided a strong evidence-based approach to understanding human movement, injury prevention, and performance optimisation.

Alongside my role at Pure Sports Medicine, I currently works as Head of Dance Science & Health at London Contemporary Dance School and am a lecturer in strength & conditioning at Trinity Laban.

Outside of work, i’m passionate about travelling (62 countries and counting), exploring the outdoors, and the NFL.

Chris has previously served as Physical Development Lead at the Royal Ballet School, expanding strength and conditioning provision, enhancing performance data systems, and leading the creation of a new physical development facility.

As a biomechanist at WithU, Chris helped launch the Sky MVMNT fitness application to UK households.
