Rapoport Performance Institute

I have been training with Chris at RPI for the past 5 years. Chris is FAR from your average trainer, the relationship you build with him is not limited to the walls of the gym. The training Chris provides goes ABOVE and BEYOND. He takes the time to personalize each workout to fit your individual needs and does an amazing job at helping you discover and navigate your health and workout goals. When I first went to train with Chris it was because I was experiencing mild back pain. After a few sessions, I recognized that my pain had diminished and my posture had improved. I learned how to engage my core and create new healthy habits. Together, we created a plan that I could effortlessly incorporate into my busy lifestyle and I have never felt healthier. Chris provides you with skills and healthy habits that you can practice at home and easily integrate into your everyday life. The sense of community that is built at RPI ensures that everyone reaches their up-most potential while maintaining a positive and healthy workout environment.

As a teenager I was diagnosed with scoliosis and have had back issues throughout my life and after having a baby I told myself enough was enough I needed to lose some weight and work on becoming stronger and being better about my posture. Over the years I had gone to the personal trainer that was available at the gym I belonged to and I didn't even know facilities like RPI existed until a friend of mine recommended Chris and I'm so glad she did. I love that I get focused time with him and that because it's by appointment only I am not working out in front of dozens of people like one would at 24 hour fitness or fusion fitness. As another reviewer said "Chris Rapoport is truly in a league of his own", and they could not be more accurate. He isn't the guy that got an online certificate that works part time in addition to his "real job". Being a trainer is his real, full time job and the difference really shows and now I can't even imagine seeing anyone else. He is great about keeping me motivated and holding me accountable, and I am very happy with my results. My friends ask me how do you afford personal training with all the cost that comes along with a baby and I tell them it's not as expensive as you think, plus when I started changing some of my bad habits I saved money that made it feel even less expensive.

Chris Rapoport is truly in a league of his own. You won't find another trainer who is better educated and truly knows how the body works and how to truly workout safely and get results. After many years of training and having worked with numerous trainers, I learned more in my first few sessions with Chris than I had with any other trainer combined. Before working with Chris, I was not only not getting the most of my workouts, but he also helped me eliminate some exercises in my routine that were not safe. So whether you want to lose weight, get back in shape, or are a elite athlete, I have no doubt you will not find a better trainer.
