Grow a solid coaching business that impacts lives for years to come, no matter what happens.


"Dr Chris Gaviglio has been my strength and conditioning coach for over 6 years now. It has been one of the best working relationships I’ve had, and he has been an imperative part of my sports preparation and has played a pivotal role leading up to my recent success winning Silver at the 2022 Winter Olympics.

When we started working together, we had the luxury of having regular face-to-face sessions. 

Then along came COVID which caused issues and disrupted my training. For over 3 months leading up to the Olympics, I was training in my house with no gym equipment. 

Chris quickly pivoted my training using limited equipment and BFR cuffs – my training and competitiveness on the world stage still flourished and I bought home an Olympic Silver Medal."
