According to Chris Powell

If you have seen the TLC special, the 650lb virgin, you know a little about what a compassionate person Chris Powell is. But whether you saw that episode, are a member of Reshape The Nation, or any of the other shows or specials he’s been in, I thought I’d tell you more about who he is and about his journey.

Chris Powells motto: “The body can be manipulated however you choose. It is such an amazing feeling to teach others the wonders of their own body, and how to finally take control.”
Chris Powell has been in the business of Reshaping peoples’ bodies and lives for a while now. He has always had a passion for helping others in need.  He graduated from Arizona State University with his degree in kinesiology, with a concentration in physiology and biomechanics. Upon graduation, he started appearing on a local television news station doing fitness segments, and quickly gained a steady fan base, where viewers started writing in questions or emailing Powell for fitness tips and suggestions.

Why Chris Powell’s way is better than the highway: “Weight loss itself can be very textbook: watching calories, exercising, and eating right. Ultimately, people are looking for a physical transformation, but in order to get there, you have to reach an emotional and psychological transformation first.”

Chris’ method is to get to know his client and gauging their level of emotional and psychological readiness. “There have been times where I’ve had to turn down clients who have reached out to me for help because they simply were not ready. You need to be ready to take responsibility for your actions and be open to the changes. If you can’t do that, there is no foundation for growth.”

Powell notes that no two people are the same, however, his experience has proven that accountability and following through with promises made to yourself and others begins a pattern of self-awareness and appreciation across the board. “When the commitment is made and the task completed, something happens within. You’re integrity goes up and you start to believe in yourself and build self-esteem. It’s very powerful.”

Chris Powell continues to live by a “pay it forward” standard, helping people in the best way he knows how, reshaping their lives. He is still out there, helping those around him to realize their full potential, to be the best they can be. We should all pay it forward
