Chris Sauser, Certified Personal Trainer
I have been teaching group classes since I attained my black belt in Hapkido many years ago. Until recently I was owner and chief instructor
at the Russian Martial Art Training Center and had the opportunity to study and teach self defense with Russian and American Special
Forces.
I began studying kettlebells back in 2002 and was certified as an instructor in 2003 through RKC.

- Phil is an avid alpine skier and cyclist. In 2010, Phil went from being a "non-cyclist" to riding the 120 mile Triple
ByPass from Evergreen to Avon over three mountain passes (including the Continental Divide) in 9 hrs. 32 mins. In 2011, Phil rode
the Double Triple ByPass totaling 23,000 feet of climbing over 243 miles and 23 hours of cycling. Since the incurable cycling bug

international, accredited personal fitness trainer school in the country approved for Federal Student Financial Aid and allied with
the major personal trainer certifying agencies.
