Experienced tutor in Life coaching in Panama City Beach, Christian offers private lessons tailored to your needs.

I reluctantly started coaching with Christian under affectionate pressure from my wife. She had suffered a broken neck and back in a traumatic automobile accident. We believe because she had been working with Christian, her recovery was faster and more complete than it might otherwise have been. While that was convincing, there were two other obstacles: …the time thing, and the emotional friction of opening the door to the possibility that I might not be as “fit” as I believed I was.
Yet, once I agreed to give coaching a try, I actually started to enjoy it. Every session with Christian challenged me not just physically, but it challenged my assumption along various dimensions. His non-judgmental and curious demeanor made me want to be better and see what I could accomplish in other areas of life too.
For me it wasn’t about how I looked – I wasn’t trying to build visible muscle or lose weight – but how I felt: more fit, more comfortable, and more confident as I went through the expected and unexpected challenges everyone encounters every day. That has been the real value. To find I could do something today that I was unable to do the week before is an immensely rewarding experience.
To say something “changed my life” risks making it more dramatic, difficult, or scary than it really is – sometimes a small change, such as altering a habit, can be just as significant. Yes, Christian truly changed my life by helping me convince me to replace a habit of doing nothing about my fitness to doing something about it. And that’s where it all started. Healthy living is like learning a language – more practice is always better, of course, but some practice is always better than none.
If you’re looking for a coach (or if your wife is looking for one for you ☺), and if you can go into it with an open mind, I can testify that the investment in coaching pays huge dividends—short term and long term. You won’t regret it!

I wasn't overweight (6'1", 215lbs), but I was carrying around 10 or so extra pounds, didn't feel very healthy, was having pain in my knees and back, and didn't know what to do. I felt like I didn't have the time or financial resources to really make any progress in being healthy and growing strong, so I just kept going. I would try crazy diets that would last a month or two and commit to going to the gym and then gradually stop going. Enter coaching with Christian. I was amazed at what I was able to accomplish--numbers and times that I had either not seen since college or in many cases, much better. I've gone from never deadlifting because of problems with my knees to deadlifting 405. I went from being able to do maybe 3 pull-ups to doing 15 at a time and 45-60 in a workout session. Maybe 40 pushups to 60+. Never attempting a 300 workout (look it up) to doing it in 27 min. The list goes on. One of the biggest benefits of working with Christian is learning that living a healthy lifestyle is something worthy of investing in. It's much more than just looking good or hitting a certain number. It's about your life. It's about fulfilling the calling you have. It's about serving and loving other people well by taking care of yourself first.

See, the problem is, I didn’t really like to exercise. Eating, let alone eating well, was that annoying thing I had to do a few times a day. At 52 I wasn’t really sure what this body of mine was capable of anyway. I also knew I wasn’t getting any younger. I had this nagging voice inside telling me I needed to take better care of myself, but I really didn’t know where to start; I just wanted that voice to go away. A friend recommended I hire her coach. I thought about it for a while and figured with my track record of signing up for the gym and never going, I might as well try a different approach. I am so glad I did. It has been over ten years and I’m still going! I’ve accomplished feats of fitness I had no idea were even possible. I’m not sure who was crazier, Chrisitan for asking me to do the uncomfortable, or me for agreeing to do so. But what I learned in the process, is well…to trust the process. I learned how fit and confident I can be as I age, and how big goals can be accomplished with the right small steps. Now, with two grandkids, I am never going back to the old me. If you’re reading this, you’ve got more in you than you think. If you need a coach, I could not more highly recommend anyone to you than the folks at TRUE. If you think you can or you think you can’t either way, you’re right!
