Hi, I'm Chase.
I'm a trainer in Chicago. I work with a wide variety clients includingĀ athletes, founders, executives, singers, and people from many other walks of life.
My journey as a trainer started in 2015 when I walked away from a lucrative opportunity at a fast-growing tech company.
Ā
The CliffNotes version is that I wasn't happy with the direction of my career and needed a change.
I was miserable.
The company I worked for was great, butĀ the workĀ was unfulfilling, at least for me.
So, after some reflection, it became clear that my next chapter would involveĀ teaching people how to improve their health and fitness.
I was a competitive athlete through high school, I taught in college, and fitness hadĀ been an obsessive hobby of mine for well over a decade.
Becoming a trainer made sense.
After a few months of working at an upscale fitness club to learn the ropes, I used my knowledge and experience to start my own personal training business called Incremental Gains.
My goal was to teach people how to sustainably improve their body composition and functional fitness while prioritizing habit-building and proper technique.
I didn't take the transition from working at a fitness club to running my own business lightly; I took a big swing.
Ā
I studied under some of the very best in the industry: leaders in strength, conditioning, mobility, and nutrition.
I learned from the experts who work with celebrities, pro athletes, and special operators regularly.
I discovered some of the most effective exercise and nutrition systems, and I've been applying these methods ever since.
It's safe to say that the teachers and mentors I had early on as a trainer greatly impacted my development.
I'm grateful for their leadership and guidance.
They helped fast-track my career, and I've been able to pay it forward by positively impacting my clients' lives.
I've had the privilege of working with athletes, founders, executives, singers, and people from many other walks of life.
My ideal client is anyone with a positive attitude and a willingness to work hard.
Helping clients achieve their goals is always great, but there's no better feeling than seeing their lives outside of the gym improve.
That's what keeps me going.
When I'm not working, I enjoy traveling, stuffing my face with good food, and spending time with those I love most, especially my wife and two golden retrievers.
I graduated Magna Cum Laude from East Carolina University.
If you're into fitness or want to be, check out my newsletter.
I send readers actionable info every week on how to improve their body composition, strength, conditioning, or mobility and it all takes less than 5 minutes to read.
You're safe with me. I would never spam or sell your info, ever.
