HERE’S WHAT OTHERS ARE SAYING . . .
Before working with Christopher, I had had a series of trainers that had left me feeling at times overworked and at times discouraged. I had been stuck in a cycle for years of working out and dieting in extreme ways and then getting burned out. I would yield results in the short term, but because I couldn’t sustain the extreme prescriptions of my trainers, ultimately my results would go away and I would end up feeling exhausted and depressed.
In my profession, it is always very important to stay in shape and I went to Christopher to help prepare me for pilot season. He completely reshaped not only my body, but also my view of diet and exercise. While working with Christopher I became stronger and leaner than I had ever been and in half the time. His focus on core strength, dynamic movement and strength training completely changed my body and the results have been lasting. On top of aesthetic results, I have a completely different understanding of what works for me and what is good for my body. One of the greatest gifts that Christopher has given me is that when I have had to go away for work, I have felt empowered to train myself effectively.
I have no doubt that the way I felt about my body was a huge factor in how well I did that pilot season. I walked away with a starring role on the Television show, Til Death. Christopher Warden has had a lasting effect on the way I view not only my body, but also diet and exercise. In that sense, I can honestly say that Christopher Warden changed my life. I would not be in the same place today, were it not for his advice, high level of expertise, and training.

I had already noticed Christopher’s method of training and was very impressed by his attention to detail, his complete focus, his infinite patience and the wealth of information that he imparted to his clients.
I pride myself on being in pretty good shape for my age (54), but over the course of the next month, training three times a week with Christopher, I realized that I was capable of accomplishing so much more physically. His sessions are customized to each client’s particular level and needs. Everything we did was explained in detail and had a specific purpose to help me reach my goals. Most importantly, he stressed the importance of proper nutrition and lifestyle as principles for effective training.
I would not hesitate to recommend his services to anyone, and indeed, I already have to several friends. I’m sure that I’m not the first of his clients to do so.

Having been a life-long dancer (and a professional for over 12 years), I already thought I was in great shape when I began training with Christopher, but as I soon learned from him, thin doesn’t mean healthy. Along with improving my eating habits, his training led me to drop my body fat from 22% to 17%. Not only did this enhance my dancing, but it helped me achieve he ‘body of my dreams for my wedding!”

When I met Christopher my health was out of control – I’d left myself go. I was 143 lbs at 5’3”. I looked like a woman in her 50′s and, to put it mildly, I was burnt out!
After meeting with Christopher for the first time, I knew I was on my way to being healthier and looking and feeling better. He wasn’t just a life coach, he was a friend. He was someone who wanted to make a difference in my life and the lives of the people in his lifetime.
As a result of my training, I have lost 15-18lbs, going from a Size 12 back to my normal 8! I even feel taller than ever! I feel like wonder woman! Walking with my head up high and feeling great! I am not afraid to lift something that may weigh 50Lbs! My family and friends have noticed the change. My sister in-law (God bless her) says I look like I took 15 years off my life!
The toughest part of my training is eating healthy. However, as I practice it more it is becoming second nature. I look in the mirror now and think,” YOU GO WOMAN!”
I admire, respect and truly feel a life long bond with this coach. My hat’s off to you Christopher. Keep up the GREAT work!

Christopher is kind, dedicated, focused, compassionate and incredibly knowledgeable. I came to him with nagging injuries, wanting to lose fat and gain strength. He helped me work through those injuries while making sure I achieved my goals. Not only did I get into terrific shape, but I also knew that my well-being was priority.

Christopher Warden has been my personal trainer for over two years. As a lifelong exercise enthusiast, I chose Christopher to be my trainer because I needed someone who would be able to take my relatively fit body to an elite level of ability. With Christopher’s unusually high level of intelligence and both physical and nutritional knowledge, I quickly began to reach my goals.
However, Christopher’s true value became apparent to me over the ensuing 2 years. I suffered several injuries (the downside of being a lifelong exercise enthusiast!) that would have sidelined anyone who was not training with someone as qualified as Christopher. Through his intuitive knowledge of my body, and his endless quest for knowledge and ability to accurately research, I was able to train throughout my recovery periods. He has even devised a program for me that incorporates some of the physical therapy that was vital to my recent healing, in the hopes of preventing further injury by keeping my neck and shoulder strong.

“I am happy to say that the excruciating pain that sporadically immobilized me is now completely gone. No miracle drugs, just a very focused and brilliant exercise plan designed by Christopher. He’s helped me achieve a level of confidence in exercise that was formerly non-existent. . . That gift is priceless.”
– Estelle Comboni
I found my way to Christopher by a referral from another one of his clients, and the first time we met, I knew I wasn’t with ‘just any other trainer’. This guy had questions and seemed to really care about me, my body, my mind. He taught me the importance of nutrition and a healthy lifestyle as the foundation for great results . . . and once I got a handle on my eating, I REALLY saw the results I wanted from training. I looked defined and strong and my body and mind worked in unison, they way they’re meant to!
I owe a lot to Christopher for his continuous teaching that never feels like a lecture. He makes me curious to learn more and see how all the components meld together. It’s a constant reminder for me and when I slip off the ledge, he knows how to speak to me and not at me.
As I get into this next decade of life I only hope I continue to absorb and incorporate what Christopher teaches me whether it’s about exercise, nutrition or just about living.

The bottom line is Christopher is more than a fitness coach. He puts himself out there. He listens. He watches. He advises. He investigates any problems that arise and works on a solution for every client. Every once in a while I break focus on what I’m doing and watch what he is doing while I’m moving. He is like an artist working on a sculpture. He circles…he looks at what I’m are doing from every angle . . . coaches me . . . spots me . . . makes adjustments . . . continues to analyze and then encourages me to realize that my work is paying off. And, yes, he even makes me laugh.
I know that with Christopher by my side, my success will not only be about fat loss. It will be about regaining my self-esteem and regaining the use of my body to live life to the fullest. Christopher’s NOT just a trainer . . . he’s a healer.

I was impressed with how Christopher was present with each of his clients. It was as if there was no one else on the crowded gym floor then him and his client. I knew if I was going to succeed in my own efforts to bring a healthy regimen of mind, body and spirit, that I was going to need someone who could be as present with me. Now I am celebrating my 5th year of sharing that focus with Christopher, about 60 lbs lighter, and preparing for my first NYC Marathon.

I trained with a number of personal trainers through the years and I can
state, without equivocation, that “Christopher Warden is one of the best damn personal
trainers in NYC, period.”

Christopher Warden provides so much more than personal training services, it’s difficult to articulate how effective he is in transforming your body, mind, and even your heart. I’ve been working with Christopher for 10 months but it feels as though I’ve known him for years. He takes such care and effort to better understand my needs as his client, whether with fat loss, weight management, or performance enhancement. He is a superb trainer and teacher; each session is filled with valuable and applicable information. He is always available to answer any questions or concerns, and cares about my progress. I can honestly say that having worked with a few personal trainers in the past, no one has ever excelled in so many areas (fitness, training, nutrition, well-being) as Christopher. I highly recommend him to anyone who is not only looking to improve his or her physical appearance, but also his/her psyche.

Christopher Warden has been my personal trainer for nine months. I am stronger, fitter, more nutritionally aware and though the workouts are tough I do love them and feel better for doing them. Christopher always has a plan but he is also flexible. If you are having an off day, he will change his plan to meet your needs and still give you a great workout. The body, mind and spirit connection are all part of the training. I feel I am in a safe environment with someone who is making sure that I won’t hurt myself by doing it wrong. I also feel listened to so it’s a good partnership. He gets my highest recommendation.
– Lisa Simon
I’ve known Christopher for more than 7 years. He is an amazing trainer, he fits a program to your needs. From a beginner – couch potato – to a fitter than fit athelete, he is great. If you’re injured, he knows so much about the human body he can help you out. He pushes you – personally and physically – he won’t let the personal baggage we carry around get in the way of making you fit. You won’t regret working with Christopher – he will become a part of your family.
