Today we’d like to introduce you to Christopher Wiese.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Christopher. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I have been in fitness my whole life, but in 2014 is when I started my journey as a personal trainer and group fitness instructor. The North Dallas YMCA & Tread Fitness gave me my first shot to grow in this industry. I left the YMCA in 2015 to start training clients at their home in the Preston Hallow & Highland Park areas of Dallas.
I kept with Tread Fitness, building my group fitness career until 2017 when I was scouted to be a Barry’s Bootcamp Senior Fitness Instructor. I am currently thriving at Barry’s Bootcamp & see all my personal clients at Park Cities Personal Training where I run my own private personal training business.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
Fitness is a tough road.
You start making little pay with early morning wake-ups & late-night training sessions. Group fitness is mentally and physically tough. Competing against your friends for busy class times and loving the highs and fighting the lows when the lights are off. Most of us work seven days a week & you still have to find the time to work out and stay in shape. The hardest is finding a way to make yourself stand out from the norm of fitness instructors.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about Barrys Bootcamp – what should we know?
Barrys Bootcamp is the number one workout in the world. We are located in multiple cities throughout the world, making us a global brand. Barry’s was the first High-Intensity Interval Training (HIIT) studio on the market.
I create specialized workouts which target different muscle groups for different days of the week. I customize a killer playlist to compliment workouts creating a night club environment under the infamous red lighting in the studio.
I am known to instruct with a no-nonsense mentality and a high level of energy. I praise my clients when they reach success and will push you when you are falling behind. I do have a caring & playful personality outside the Red Room building relationships with clients.
I am most proud of our family-friendly environment. Barry’s is not just a studio; instead, we are a community within a healthy environment that encourages, supports and cares for one another.
Barry’s Bootcamp is not your ordinary studio. We come equipped with a full-service smoothie bar for after your workouts, luxury amenities, towel service, amazing retail, and the friendliest staff!
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
For success, you have to be a charismatic person inside and outside your fitness studio.
Our motto at Barry’s is, “Workout hard & be nice to people!”
