CHRIS TYLER

BSc Exercise Science, CSCS

Rethink everything you know about personal training ... Chris' synthesised system of training incorporates a mixture of Strength and Conditioning, Exercise Science research/principles, and draws on other relevant fields with the goal to create strong and healthy bodily systems.

Chris is a Certified Strength & Conditioning Specialist (NSCA) who, while playing basketball in the USA, completed a Bachelor's Degree in Exercise Science. His focus was on improving performance amongst college athletes.

Chris refined his athletic training techniques and adapted them to suit those without an athletic background, enabling them to achieve improved health and an enhanced quality of life through greater fitness and function.

Following a five-year tenure on the Northern Beaches, Chris is now offering 1-on-1 outdoor personal training in Bowral or at your residence in the Southern Highlands, while completing his Master's in Clinical Exercise Physiology.

Testimonials

Testimonial Quotation
I spent a long time looking for a suitable person to help me train. I have some pre-existing conditions / injuries that needed someone with an in-depth understanding of the human body. Chris blew me away from the first session. He took the time to research my condition and tailored a program that has allowed me to improve and gain strength and stability that I didn't think was possible.

Chris is brilliant -he's a patient and passionate trainer, who tailors each session to where you're at. The sessions had just the right amount of challenge week to week to keep things interesting and clearly see progress.... I would highly recommend to anyone looking to work on their strength & stability, who needs a mix of expert guidance in specific areas, and challenge without overwhelm.

Just finished another amazing session
with Chris and feeling great! Being a manly mum of 2 i was looking for some PT sessions where I could really just focus on myself and exercise. I despise running but really enjoy weights and strength work and Chris is exactly that.
He tailors every session to my needs and goals and ensures he pushes me to my limit....

Strength Synth is the perfect PT. Private gym and amazing coach Chris. Chris is motivating, encouraging and full of knowledge. Having a private gym to workout really makes a difference. You won't find a better personal trainer on the Northern Beaches.

Chris is an excellent trainer. He tailored the workouts to suit my goals and his knowledge is evident in small tweaks to my form and explanation of the movements.
