Barbells are Physical Therapy
— Coach Chris

James Q.

“I couldn’t be happier with my strength training with Chris Palladino. When I came to him, I had debilitating back pain and other issues. The fact that he is not only a strength coach, but a physical therapist, enhances a level of service he provides. I would wholeheartedly recommend Chris.”

Shea M.

“Coach Chris is the best. He has been my strength coach for 2 years and has helped me get stronger than I've ever been in my life. Personally, I have a very hectic occupation and an unpredictable schedule at times, but Coach Chris has been able to design workout programs for me that are effective while accounting for continuing change in my life. He is very knowledgeable, provides insightful feedback on workouts, and communicates well with clients. I would recommend Coach Chris to anyone that is looking to get strong and live better.”

Jeffry B.

“Chris is an amazing trainer/teacher. It doesn't matter what age or stage of training you are, he will help you improve your strength, physical functioning and therefore, your overall health. Together with his physical therapy knowledge, he will be able help you - whether you are recovering from injury or are just starting on the journey towards a new and improved you. Take it from me (and I am an MD), look no further, Chris is your guy. Worth every penny.”

Rivka B.

“Chris is the ultimate professional PT and Starting Strength Coach, safefy is a priority, he is patient and works with your schedule. I would recommend him to anyone who wants to get stronger, no matter what your goals are.”

Yael D.

“Chris is a great coach, attentive, professional and very knowledgeable. He is quick to respond and give feedback. He is flexible if programming needs to be adjusted.”

Joyce F.

“My name is Joyce and I’m 81 years old. I started working out with Chris Paladino 10 years ago. My health condition was pretty bad. I’ve had many health issues, I was overweight, I’ve had 2 heart valve replacements, lung cancer, vascular disease, severe arthritis, damaged spine and other issues. Chris started me out slow and built me up to weightlifting, squats, worked on my balance, and coordination and my overall strength. He designed a program for my level and if it wasn’t for Chris, I know I would not still be so independent and functional at my age. Im still driving, walking, my arthritis feels better and I’ve gained years of my life thanks to him.”

Kara E.

“I've used Coach Chris for online coaching over 3 years now. Before Chris, I was constantly getting stuck and in pain. I had shoulder surgery in 2012 and was painful even after standard PT. Not long after starting our session the shoulder pain has completely gone and I can press over 80 lbs now. His cues and form checks are easy to follow and adjust for next session. Also, programming is great and is adjusted as I get stronger to allow for recovery and not get stuck.”

David W.

“I came to Chris with a pretty unique injury where I needed to undergo a high tibial osteotomy (HTO) on both legs. Long story short, it’s an open surgery where the leg gets sawed through and straightened out & then secured with plates and screws. Chris got me started on strengthening my legs before surgery so recovery would be more successful. After surgery & cleared for PT, Chris got me right to work and he had me strengthening the legs progressively every day. Not even a year and a half later after the last surgery, I’m hitting lifetime PR’s in all of my strength lifts and feel so much better! I believe the PT from Stronger Physical Therapy is the reason these surgeries were successful. Thanks again!”

Eli D.

“Chris is an extremely knowledgeable, dedicated coach.”

David D.

“Chris has been an overall tremendous help in my fitness journey! After taking many years off from lifting due to numerous injuries and chronic pain, last year I came to Chris detrained and timid to weight training and fearful of making my injuries worse. Chris evaluated me in person prescribed rehab exercises as well as a custom online weight training program which enabled me get back to lifting quickly. A year later I am now 100lb lighter, significantly stronger and most importantly, pain free! I’ve worked with many other PT’s, Chiros, and very few seem to understand the principles of Barbell Training or can relate me as a trainee. Chris is a Starting Strength coach and DPT, thus understanding barbell training and rehab on a deeper level. I highly recommend working with Chris for helping me get back to training regularly, which I love to do!”
