Christian Sisneros
Christian moved to Ocean Isle Beach from Colorado in 2022 to enjoy the peaceful beach and to escape from the financial field. Growing up playing multiple sports and participating in athletics, the fitness industry was naturally an excellent fit. In May of 2024, Christian obtained his Personal Training Certification through NASM (National Academy of Sports Medicine) to pursue his fitness passion and to help others reach and maximize their fitness goals and potential.

Christian believes staying active and participating in fitness activities is essential to everyone on a physical and also mental level. Not only does he view the gym as a place to improve physical appearance and mobility, Christian treats the gym as a option to relieve stress and improve mental health. Sculpting the body is important but the shaping of the mind is just as critical.

As a Personal Trainer, Christian’s top priority is for clients to stay safe and also have fun while challenging themselves in the gym setting. Building and maintaining muscle is prudent. Overcoming potential barriers and resolving ambivalence is also essential. After learning and being around phenomenal coaches and leaders as an athlete, Christian wants to share those same values and lessons as a trainer to others. Outside of fitness, Christian is passionate about photography, reading, playing tennis and pickleball.
