I hired Chris to work with my teenage daughter and I couldn't be happier with my decision. She has taken such a personal interest in my teen's well-being and has done such wonders for her both physically and mentally. I would whole-heartedly recommend Chris to anyone who is looking for a trainer who is qualified, professional, enthusiastic and motivating. Chris is absolutely wonderful.

I cannot say enough about Chris and her work ethic. She knows her stuff. Always with a smile she makes it her business to be sure you are working hard and staying focused and motivated. If your looking for a good workout call Chris.
It is easy making commitments when you are sitting on the beach. But as the day of my first session of “Body Vengeance” drew near I started to wonder what I was thinking making a commitment to something called “Body Vengeance.”
Well, I’m really glad I kept the commitment and I highly recommend Chris Doran and her workouts to anyone who is serious about getting their body in top physical condition.
Chris really knows her stuff. She is amazing and her workouts are excellent. I run, lift, and play pickup hoops, but none of that prepared me for her workout. Chris mixes the exercises to hit on every muscle in your body, which also keeps things fresh, exciting, and fun during the course of the intense 1 hour session. (Chris also varies the exercises from session to session. No two workouts are the same.)
Along the way Chris drives, instructs, inspires, and motivates you with her high energy approach. In my first session there was a mix of ages, shapes, sizes, genders, and experience levels and Chris coaxed and cajoled everyone through it. We worked out outdoors which was a great way to start off the day.
Before I knew it the session was over and I was left winded and sweating profusely but feeling really good and good about myself.
If you are looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable and passionate about helping you reach your goals, I highly recommend Chris Doran.

Chris Doran is a great trainer and motivator. She is so positive and encourages you to reach your goals. No two workouts are ever the same.
I am hooked on boot camp with Chris. I began running a year ago with the Ramsey bootcamp on a 5K now a year later I have completed 2 half marathons. Chris was my support and inspiration to keep it going. If you are looking for a great trainer.. She's the one! Helene
I've just started bootcamp with Chris. At 5.30 in the morning, she's bubbly and full of energy and that little body has a big voice that travels across the turf. She's extremely motivating and I love her drills. Great way to start the day with Chris. Thank you and I'm glad I found you.
Chris Doran is awesome!!! I have been taking her boot camp class for 2 1/2 years (3 x a week) and she has never done the same class twice! She is motivational and pushes you to be your personal best!! Looking at her amazing sculpted arms make me work even harder! She is energetic, passionate, and has a great sense of humor. If you want to feel and look better then get in touch with her - it works - it did for me!!
Thank you so much Mary for all you kind words!!! The truth i
Chris has been a wonderful coach, teacher and inspiration for me! I have so looked forward to our workouts and seeing ladies of all shapes and sizes take the field! She is supportive without being cheery and instructive without being preachy. It amazes me how can she be so strong and hold so much authority in her tiny, tight little body… and yet, I don't hate her because she is beautiful. I strive to be better and look forward to each workout knowing it's going to kick my butt and be different than each class before. Chris puts thought and training behind everything she does making her not only amazing at her job but a fantastic person who loves their job! You can't get better than that!
Thank you Karin for your kind words!!!! It is people like y
I love Chris' positive attitude about exercise and life! Her enthusiasm is contagious and you can't help from benefit from her. I highly recommend her for personal training or bootcamp. I started the bootcamp in May and love it bc she makes it fun but challenging.
Here comes another 5 star review. Chris knows what she is doing and has a great personal touch. She inspires, motivates and gets you pumped to reach your goals and exceed them. Its clear from the first workout that she listens to what your goals are and gets you going in the right direction with a great workout. I was impressed with her knowledge and the diversity she brings to a workout. You won't be bored and she will challenge you in a positive way. Think Jillian Michaels but even more approachable and very determined to get you were you wanna be. Chris ROCKS!
Some trainers are energetic, passionate and their excitement is contagious. Some trainers can motivate the most out-of-shape person or new-to-exercise person. Some trainers can challenge the most fit and accomplished athlete. Few trainers can do all three of those things. Chris does it all. She is fun, encouraging and challenging. She “listens” to you, and will find what you need to define your goals and then to achieve your goals. She will help you work around injuries, fears and excuses. For two years Chris has encouraged me to be my best. I feel strong, healthy and energized. I highly recommend you give Chris a chance to help you be your best.

Chris is a great trainer and a great person. Never boring, never the same. She motivates the recruits and gives them an excellent workout. A very dedicated trainer who will not let you down.
Working out with Chris is great! She is so much fun and very inspiring. Her workouts are constantly changing and NEVER boring! She will personalize and modify to your level. Her workouts will keep you energized throughout the day. Love you, Girl!! xo :-)
Chris is the BEST trainer I have ever worked with. Chris is so motivating and inspiring and makes working out lots of fun. Every workout with Chris is creative as she makes sure she gives you a fun and challenging full body workout. Her words of encouragement always keep me going and motivates me to work harder and harder each time. She always reminds us that we are stronger then we think. Chris' energetic positive attitude is the perfect way to kick start my day!
What can I say about Chris? I have known her for many years and I consider her one of the best in the industry. Her love of fitness and passion for helping will inspire you to create your best body. Yes she has all the skills necessary to teach you how to sculpt a fantastic physique, but what makes Chris so very special is her heart. She will be there to inspire, teach, push, motivate, and support you in reaching your fitness goals. And there is no way you can put a price on that quality. If I could give Chris 10 stars I would! I promise, after your very first session with her you will too:) -Perry Nickelston DC, FMS, SFMA (Pain Laser Center, LLC Ramsey, NJ)
if you are looking for someone to help you reach your fitness goals, then Chris is your girl! Chris has the motivation, enthusiasm and knowledge to get you thru the days you feel like a slug and the support and strength to challenge you on the days you feel like a champ. I can't say enough about her, her ability to make things new and challenging - or her great smile, which makes you believe all hard work is worth it!
I've been working out with Chris since November. She's awesome!!!
We get great workouts and have a great time doing it. I've never felt better.
I have been working out with Chris for almost 1 year now. She has turned exercising, which I never wanted to do, into a part of my daily routine . She has helped me overcome a lot of obstacles health wise and gotten me on the right track to want to be healthy and look good. I have lost about 25 lbs., have more energy and my joints hurt less. I always look forward to exercising now thanks to Chris.
Working out with Chris is fun and inspiring! She is one of the best. Her passion for health and fitness shines when you are working with her. She connects so well with her clients and takes the time to do so. Her workouts are always challenging, fun and full of sweat! R
Chris makes the workout really amazing! She is right there with you every step of the way. Her positive attitude, energetic personality and words of motivation make for a wonderful experience. She’s great because she knows her clients inside and out…for example, when you have certain limitations, she curves the workout for you so that you can still have a full training experience but get through it without feeling overwhelmed. You always leave the workout feeling inspired, energized and sweating! CC

Chris has made such an amazing impact on my life in the short 2 months that she has trained me. She has given my confidence in myself that I never thought I could have. I would without a doubt recommend her to anybody that I know.
