About Christopher

I am Christopher Hinton, a certified personal trainer and the creator of The Strength Underground: a personalized strength-training and exercise-consistency coaching system for people who want to get stronger without having to go to a gym or forcing themselves through workouts they hate.

I created this system after years of seeing the same problem: people are not failing because they are lazy, weak, or incapable. They are failing because their training plans ask too much of them. The workouts are too long, too hard, too draining, too confusing, or filled with exercises they dread. Eventually, even highly motivated people stop doing them.

My coaching is built around a different question: What kind of training can you actually keep doing as a permanent part of your lifestyle?

I work with adults who want to build and maintain a base layer of strength, muscle, and structural resilience for the long term. This includes men and women who do not enjoy conventional workouts, adults who prefer to exercise at home, busy people who need a practical plan, adults over 40, 50, or 60 who want to stay capable as they age, and men with low testosterone who may find standard high-intensity fitness advice unrealistic for their energy and motivation levels.

My approach is personal, practical, and nonjudgmental. My training will pass your "common sense test" in that once you start doing it, you'll realize how and why it will work for you.

My Background:

I used to own an LA Boxing franchise, now called "UFC GYM" in Orlando, FL for 3 years.

I was a certified boxing judge with USA Boxing.

I have held a Personal Training certificate from the International Sports Sciences Association, and more recently from ACTION Athletic Training and Certification Commission.

I am the author of the book, "Future-Proof Your Body: How to Build Your Own Home Workout System for Muscle Mass and Bone Density" available on Amazon.

I am passionate about helping men and women grow older with stronger bodies so they can have higher qualities of life and be much more injury-resistant and resilient.

About the lesson

The Strength Underground is not just a workout plan. It is a complete, personalized system designed to help you become a consistent exerciser for the long term.

The workouts are performed at home with minimal equipment and generally take only 15–20 minutes. We train the entire body in a balanced manner, with the purpose of building and maintaining muscle mass, strength, and bone density as the years go by. The goal is not to train like a bodybuilder or spend your life exercising. The goal is to create a strong, capable physical foundation that you can realistically keep for life.

Most people have been taught that harder is always better: more exercises, more sets, more time, more exhaustion, and more intensity. But the best workout on paper is useless if you cannot keep doing it. At The Strength Underground, we take the opposite approach: we look for the minimum effective amount of training that gives you a meaningful full-body strength practice while still being manageable enough to repeat week after week.

The real objective is consistency.

When we begin working together, we first talk through your situation in detail: your previous exercise experience, what has caused you to quit in the past, your available time, your equipment, what you are comfortable doing, and any limitations we need to work around. I then build your personalized first-month workout program around your real life—not around an unrealistic ideal.

Your workout is delivered in a simple, written format. It will be on a free app called Trello. It looks and operates like a column of index cards... very very simple and easy to use.

Having a written plan in front of you each workout matters more than most people realize. Instead of waking up and wondering what workout video to find, what exercises to do, how many sets to perform, or whether you have enough time, your plan is already decided. You go to your exercise area, pull up your written workout, complete the first item, then move to the next. The system carries the mental burden for you.

This eliminates one of the biggest reasons people procrastinate: decision fatigue. You do not need to research workouts, memorize a complicated routine, or make a new plan every day. You simply show up, follow the plan in front of you, and the workout takes care of itself.

The coaching is hands-on and personal. I do not simply send you a workout and hope you figure it out. I personally teach you every exercise in your program. After I demonstrate an exercise, you perform it while I watch so I can make corrections immediately, answer questions, and make sure you understand exactly what to do.

We meet again the following day so that you can perform the workout again. This second session allows me to make any further corrections, clear up anything that did not feel right, and make sure you are fully ready to carry out that program confidently for the rest of the month.

That means we generally only need to meet twice per month. You receive direct coaching, instruction, correction, and a custom-designed plan without having to pay for multiple sessions every week. It is an efficient format that gives you the support you need while helping keep the cost of personal coaching much more manageable.

The following month, we repeat the process with a new workout. I teach you the new exercises, watch you perform them, make corrections, and ensure you are ready to carry that month’s plan forward. We continue this process month after month for a full year.

Over time, you build more than a collection of workouts. You build a personal exercise system: a library of effective, manageable routines that suit your body, your available equipment, and your preferences. The program can evolve with you, but the system remains stable. You always know what to do, how to do it, and how to make exercise fit into your life.

I am also highly selective about the exercises included in the program. We do not build your routine around movements you hate, exercises that feel like drudgery, or workouts that leave you so drained that you begin avoiding them. The training has to be effective, but it also has to be palatable. If you dread the experience, it will never become a long-term habit.

The goal is for you to finish the year having exercised consistently at home, in short 15–20-minute sessions, with a system you understand and can keep using. That is a major accomplishment—especially for someone who has spent years starting and stopping. The point is not a short-term burst of motivation. The point is to become someone who has made strength training a normal, stable part of life.

If you want to know exactly how the workout flows, it is this:

1. I divide the body into 11 muscle groups. This covers the entire body, leaving absolutely no areas unworked. That means you're building your whole body evenly and in perfect proportion.

2. I will give you ONE exercise to do for each area of your body. You will only need to perform ONE set of that exercise. This keeps it really easy and simple, and has you flowing thru your workout quickly and efficiently.

3. Each "card" on Trello will be for a certain muscle group, so let's say the first card is for your Chest and it says "Dumbbell Bench Press". You simply go grab your dumbbells and do one set of that exercise. Come back and read the next exercise. It might be for Biceps and say "Dumbbell Curls". Go perform it and come back to your list.

4. After 15 minutes or so, you've done every muscle group in your body, you may not have even gotten sweaty, and you can go get to the rest of your day feeling AWESOME that you've completed your workout for the day.

5. You will also hang up a kitchen calendar and put a big "X" with a highlighter across the day. Day after day, week after week, you'll watch those "X"s add up and it not only keeps you accountable to yourself, but gives you a great sense of satisfaction that you're accomplishing a very important goal in your life.

6. You will show me your calendar for each month when we meet, and if you're ever struggling, we'll troubleshoot it together and see how we might be able to route around any obstacles. My goal is to help you WIN, not apply guilt that you "didn't do enough". Everything about our exercise partnership needs to be positive and motivating. It's an important psychological aspect of the training system that makes it work!

Perfect! It is intense and brutal. Perfect! Coach Chris pushes hard but recognizes when I need to regroup. No egos... just good info and a full body workout. I always leave his gym feeling stronger, safer, and energized.

Best personal trainer I've ever had by far! Chris always seemed to know exactly how hard to push me and when to make me slow down. But what I really loved most is the kickboxing workout he put me through. I've never had so much fun but worked so hard at the same time! I only went 4 sessions before I lost my job and had to cut back on expenses, but if I could afford it Id be a customer for life!
Hope this review helps Chris.

I lived farther away so i could only come a few times a month but I must say I learn more from Chris about exercising and about kickboxing than I thought I ever could. Chris really helped to change my life for the better, in more ways than he'll ever know. At first I thought he would get disappointed in me when I wasnt catching on to the techniques correctly. But no, he never showed impatience although he sometimes very tough. But I needed it. I will never find a personal trainer like him again for this I am sure. Chris, you live long in my heart my friend. Bless you!

I can't say enough good things about Christopher! There hasn't been a single workout that I didn't enjoy immensely. Chris is extremely engaging and connects with you through the whole training session. When I leave the session I feel so relaxed, like all my stress has been left on the training room floor! I absolutely love it. I paid much more at my former gym, and got so much less out of it. Best training value on the planet! Go, Chris!!!

By far the best personal trainer I've ever had! I came to lose weight and get my body toned up. His kickboxing workout was exactly what I needed. It's not just my body that looks better, my mind just FEELS better. My husband says it's been a miracle for me. ha ha
I am still very overweight and I realize it's going to take time to reach my end goal, but so far so good. (Still can't believe I'm doing kickboxing!!!) This was so NOT ME! lol But Chris makes me feel like a champ and like "I can do this!"

Im so thankful to have Crossed Paths with Christopher Hinton. I struggle with the consistency of working out. I have tried gym memberships, workout partners, even setting up my own home gym. All of these i have failed on my own time and time again. It wasnt untill i was lucky enough to find his ad for kickboxing and training that gave me a new outlook and WANT to exercise, while actually being excited about it. Having Chris by my side not only with constant professional reassurance that i could do this and words of wisdom on how to overcome the mental state i had been battling for years when it came to my health and fitness, its the icing on top of his training sessions that are well planned and a workout that not only kicks my butt, but its now a weekly anticipated workout that i actually look forward to and enjoy taking this time out for myself. Its my Healthy Treat! Thank you for taking the time to help me see that exercise is not a chore but a lifestyle that i want for myself. Thank you Chris for all your hard work and skill that you put into your training that i have been benefiting from and has changed my whole outlook on my health! I couldn't have done it without you!

My prices are $100 per session.
Most clients do 2 sessions per month. That is all that's needed. But if you need additional sessions at $100, we can discuss it.

You will train with me for 12 months. The reason is: I'm building you a system of 12 at-home workouts that you rotate through. We just concentrate on one of these per month to build the habit into your life.

At the end of the year, you will then start alternating and rotating thru each of the workouts so that each month you're only doing the same workout twice. That gives you a ton of variety, teaches you all sorts of ways to work the same muscle groups, and prevents overuse injuries and boredom. This is the EXACT way I train myself. You and I will both be following the same System, we just might be using different exercises at different times. How many personal trainers do you think do the same workouts they're giving you? Probably 0. Now you know that I'm giving you my BEST.
