About Chris

My name is Chris Bhutta, and I’m an ISSA-certified elite personal trainer.  I hold specialty certifications in pre- and postnatal fitness through Fit for Birth, menopause coaching through Girls Gone Strong, and corrective exercise through ISSA.  I’m also a Registered Yoga Teacher (RYT 200) with Yoga Alliance and hold nutrition coaching certifications through both ISSA and Metabolic Effect.

Maintaining a healthy lifestyle took on renewed importance when I became pregnant with my first daughter in 2012.  I exercised regularly throughout pregnancy (I even taught a spin class the day before I delivered!) and ate a healthy diet.  I believe these two things contributed to a positive pregnancy experience and a swift postpartum recovery.  This personal experience motivated me change careers and specialize in  pre- and postnatal fitness, so that I might help other women have a similar experience.

Many of these once new moms continue to work with me.  As I saw their needs change as they advanced towards perimenopause and menopause, I obtained additional training as a menopause coaching specialist to best serve them.  I now proudly serve all women throughout the many phases of their adult lives.

When I’m not working with clients, you can probably find me in one of a few places: in the kitchen, experimenting with new healthy recipes; outside, racking up the miles on my road bike; or in the WellMom studio, doing my own strength training!
