Enlightened Fitness – Chris Capistran

Chris was really fun to work with. He was patient and very personable. He works around busy schedules. He really knows how to help and has many years of experience. He tells right away if you are doing a good job or correct you if you are wrong. My first session was really great, he brought a few props and we started right away. You’d be surprised at what you can learn in such a small time. I’d highly recommend Chris.

Chris is an amazing trainer who utilizes a holoistic approach that works with the mind, body, and spirit in a positive uplifting workout session.
I’ve been working with Chris for six years.
He has helped me keep limber through a few surgeries, stiff joints, and realigning my body posture. Chris combines many disciplines, such as cardio, strength training, Tai Chi, yoga, and other forms of exercise to address what my body needs each session.
Chris always makes the workout fun and successful.

Chris is an outstanding physical trainer and a person of true integrity. I was chronically fatigued, depressed and overweight. As a birthday gift, my wonderful brother gave me a package of 5 sessions (which includes an initial session for free – for a total of 6 sessions).
I spread these out over a 3 month period seeing Chris every other week. He definitely got me «over the hump» of doldrums I was in! I now feel stronger, lighter (almost 10 lbs. lost) and have more energy. From the first session, it was obvious that Chris is passionate about what he does and truly cares about people. He always went over time with my sessions – caring more about my understanding and success than he did about the clock. He introduced me to many new and interesting exercises. I also have much more awareness of my body posture, alignment, and the fact that even minor adjustments throughout the day can make a huge difference in how you feel. I often did and continue to do my «scap-​wrap and zip-​up» body adjustments everytime I hit a stoplight on the way to and from work. I highly recommend Chris for anyone who is looking to «strengthen» themselves and add «vitality» to their lives!

Chris,
Many thanks for the Qi Gong experience with Josh and Jack.
After their experience with your presentation, I was surprised to hear them share they had especially enjoyed the floor work.
Breathing, focusing, positive affirmations. However, the standing, subtle movements were more challenging.
I think because both boys are trained athletes and accustomed to using their bodies in the mind set of fast and hard to get to the goal for a win!
This experience was good for them to be introspective.
Sharing your insight and art with Qi Gong is greatly appreciated.
Kindest regards,
Carolyn B.

Chirs is very knowledgable. And puts you through a very energizing workout.

When I began training with Chris six years ago I was more than 40 pounds over weight, painfully stiff, and uncomfortable walking more than a short distance. Now I enjoy yoga and hiking expeditions in the national parks, and I recently learned to standup paddle. Chris personalizes every session and keeps them varied and interesting. Plus he’s a fine person. He has my highest recommendation. You can’t go wrong with Chris.

Chris has a unique and expansive repertoire of methods and equipment to assist his clients in achieving their goals. His knowledge in areas of physiology, anatomy, sports, injury and rehab make you feel you are safe in the care of someone competent and caring and committed to your requested outcomes.

This is a great way to get in shape! Great guy and fun to try a different approach. Thank you on behalf of the Rancho Santa Fe Unit of Rady Children’s Hospital Auxiliary.
