About Chris Arseneau

I am a father to two crazy, curious, loving and rambunctious boys. I work as a Respiratory Therapist at a hospital in Minneapolis, but Health and Fitness are my passions. I hold a B.A.S in Exercise Science from the University of Minnesota-Duluth and I am a certified Strength and Nutrition Coach (NASM-PES / Precision Nutrition).

I fell in love with working out the summer after 8th grade. I was blessed to be around coaches who had a great balance of pushing us hard, teaching us why we were doing what we were doing and how it would benefit us as athletes, but also throughout life. In that tiny weight room in Blaine among the sod fields, the squat racks, the barbells, the dumbbells, jump ropes, smells, sweat and the Rocky 4 soundtrack blasting I was hooked. That felt like home for me. It still does and always will. The discipline of conditioning your body and feeding it properly can transform you physically yes, but its even more of a game changer for your confidence and mental game. Since then, (26 years ago…yikes!!) I have been obsessed on how proper nutrition along with a smart and FUN strength and conditioning program can transform lives.

I've played football and baseball competitively throughout my life and into adulthood. I have competed in a Men's Physique competition placing 2nd in my class, as well as the Tactical Strength Challenge finishing in the Top 10 in the World for my division.  (The TSC is a max deadlift in 3 attempts, max pull ups without taking hands off the bar and max kettlebell snatches in 5 minutes with a 53# KB.)

I have a quarter century worth of knowledge and experience that I have gained first hand across many different sports and training methods. I am all about continuing education, learning, evolving, reading; experimenting in the weight room, field and kitchen in ways to get better. With my knowledge and skills I have helped many people over the years achieve things physically and mentally they didn’t know they were capable of.

I am blessed and grateful for all of the skills and experience I have acquired over the years. My goal is to educate and pass these skills onto as many people as I can to help transform as many lives as I can.
