Meet Christine Chen of C. Athletics Fitness Studio in Rowland Heights

Today we’d like to introduce you to Christine Chen.

Thanks for sharing your story with us Christine. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
2014 was when I first started my personal training career. I worked as a personal trainer for a commercial gym for about 3 years from there I moved up to a fitness manager. I found a better position at St Jude Medical Center with synergy and continued personal training. I am now a Heath coach at synergy in a lifestyle program. 2016 was when I decided to take the leap and open my own fitness studio in Rowland heights. I currently do 1:1 personal training as well as group training.

Overall, has it been relatively smooth? If not, what were some of the struggles along the way?
The struggles that occurred would be not realizing how much time and constant working to make sure everything was running smoothly. There are long hour days and struggle would be having the time to ensure all my clients get the best quality of work from me. Also, being confident in the path I am going towards and ensuring I am making the right decisions for the company.

Please tell us about C. Athletics Fitness Studio.
The company is based off my knowledge and expertise in physical and mental health. I don’t provide supplements or a magic pill for my clients. I teach them the importance of balance depending on their lifestyle. I base the training off their fitness levels to make things fun. I make sure I am not having them on strict diets/ yo-yo diets and then gain back all the weight they have lost. I’m most proud of being able to teach people the importance of physical activity and they are able to adapt it to their lifestyle forever. What sets me apart is the detail and work ethic I provide. Each client is provided with their own customized programming that will best tailor to their goals.

If you had to go back in time and start over, would you have done anything differently?
If I had to start over I probably would ask for more help from others and it think I can do it alone.
