Chris Powell“Transformation

Specialist”

The Beginning Christopher Powell was born on March 2, 1980 in

Phoenix, Arizona

Being the smallest kid in school, his parents encouraged him to take up weight-lifting, which lead him to transform his body. His newfound passion and personal transformation also transformed his mind; making him believe in the potential of the human body. Ultimately, this determined his life-changing career path.

He then went on to earn a degree in Exercise Science with concentrations in biomechanics and physiology at Arizona State University. He has also earned a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist Certification.

"The human body is an amazing machine that we can transform naturally," Chris says. "I have devoted my being

to developing innovative lifestyles and tools to enrich the lives of others - and each life changed has been a

remarkable gift."

This is what he’s done: This personal trainer is best known for his show on ABC-

“Extreme Weight Loss” formerly known as “Extreme Makeover: Weight Loss Edition”. In his show, he travels the country, guiding extremely over-weight

individuals to lose hundreds of pounds of the time period of a year.

In the first phase, he usually moves into their homes to guide them with his innovative techniques and expertise.

He is now working on Season 4 of the show.

He has released two books with motivation and trick and tips on exercise and nutrition- Choose to Lose: The 7 Day Carb Cycle Solution and Choose More Lose More, for Life.

He also shares tricks and tips by contribution to “Good Morning America”, “The Dr. Oz Show”, and KTVK’s “Good Morning Arizona”.

Chris captured the heart of America when he helped transform the life of David Smith who lost 401 pounds in 26 months. This was the fasted and largest natural weight loss that was ever documented.

Why I Chose Chris Powell: When he captured the hearts

of America with his unshakable dedication to his clients, he captured mine as well. In my darkest moments of my weight loss, watching his show gave me hope and motivation when I felt like giving up. If I ever decide to be a personal trainer, I want to be one like him; one who is dedicated, compassionate, and really cares about helping one believe in their self and reach their goals.
