Chris' Story

Chris is our May 2024 Built With Science transformation winner, and we're thrilled to have had the chance to talk to him about his journey.

Here are the key snippets from our interview (note: lightly edited for length and clarity).

Chris, what inspired you to start your fitness journey? Tell us the backstory.

So before Built With Science, I guess COVID happened, and I didn’t go to the gym and wasn’t working out.

Once everything started to open up, I just had a goal of getting bigger because I think I always struggled with putting on mass. So I started that journey. There were a lot of challenges. It’s been a long 2 and a half plus years of going up and down and still learning the ropes. 

But, in the beginning, the support from your coaches and nutritionist that I had helped a lot for me to gain that confidence and, I guess, the structures for what I should do and how I can improve. 

I mean, in the past, I’ve tried HIIT classes. I tried to do stuff on my own. You know, watch YouTube and stuff, but it’s definitely not as motivating. I think someone being in your corner and providing that support definitely eases the burden and prevents you from giving up. 

What results have you seen from the Built With Science program?

My progress pictures were the first sign the Built With Science program was starting to work for me. 

I mean, yeah, I was going up in strength, too, but comparing my pictures from two years ago to now, I may not have put on a lot of mass, but I definitely grew in different areas, and I’m very proud of it. 

Another thing was that my new friends in California (note: Chris moved from Oahu to California) also started noticing my progress. That was nice.

What helped the most with your success?

Definitely the nutrition side of it. I think a lot of people put it on the back burner. 

I did, too. In the past, I was just like, “I’m going to eat everything,” or I wasn’t really focused on my macros. But yeah, dialing in on my nutrition — I guess that’s a huge contributing factor to why I was able to get to where I was at. 

I also stuck with the Built With Science program, so that’s another big thing too. Being consistent with it.

Other Highlights From The Interview

What would you say to someone on the fence about starting the Built With Science program or even just signing up with a fitness coach?

I think the most important thing is to be communicative with your coaches and your dietitian. 

They’re here to support you and help you understand the ‘whys’ of the things that you’re doing. I know it could be a little intimidating at first to change your whole life, but I think the number 1 thing to remember is that it takes time and patience, and number 2, is that you’re going to see the results — as long as you’re communicative with your trainers and nutritionist.
