“Working with Christian has been nothing but a five-star experience. He’s was very good with helping to grasp the concepts I didn’t quite understand when I first started and is a great teacher of the sport. He’s very professional and knows what’s he’s doing and what’s best for his athlete. He is very knowledgeable of the sport and, as he competes himself, knows the struggles that a powerlifter goes through.”
“I don’t think 5 sentences is truly enough to capture my time with Christian “big body “ Ferratti. He started off as my coach , to one of my closest friends I’ve never even met before. His knowledge has no borders, and his passion for his athletes and himself in his life is something to envy. I’ve known Christian since March of 2020 and he’s been with me through injury , frustration, heartbreak , success and downfall. He’s given me advice on powerlifting but as well as life, and has been like a father figure in my life, anytime I need him he’s there. And if you want to know about the powerlifting side of things Christian knows what the f*** he’s doing trust me. Programming , fatigue management , mental health aspects, nutrition and literally any factor into powerlifting he will take care of , if you give him 100 he will put blood , sweat, tears , into you.”
“This should be very easy. You completely made my technique do 180 in the best ways possible, and your constantly reminding me when I can do better. Also a big thing for me is you explain things in a way that is easily understandable. Its only been 6 months and I’ve put 190lbs on my total, this is potential that you’ve helped me discover. I like your energy and its no different from how you are on social media, the random voice messages always crack me up. All around its only been a positive experience.”
“Before working with Chris I would lift and program for myself the best I could but I had no real structure or reasoning behind what I was doing. Since training under Chris, I have a great sense of confidence knowing that every time I step into the gym, Chris has programmed exactly what I need to progress as fast and safely as possible. In less than 10 weeks, my results are as follows (estimates based on RPE calculator comparing first singles to this weeks singles): +45 lbs on squat, +30 lbs on bench, +65 lbs on deadlift, +7 lbs bodyweight, + improved technique on all lifts. Chris gives me feedback on every session, makes sure I am maintaining the prescribed RPE, and continually gives advice on how to improve my technique, nutrition, etc. Working with Chris is by far the best decision I have made in regard to improving my progress in the gym.”
“Only have been working with Chris for 4 months, and have a leaps in my training that have been mind blowing to me. Chris isn’t the coach that’s gunna tell you what you want to hear but what you need to hear. He’s been hard on me with my technical issues , always nudging each session to be better than I was before. He’s everything you’d want in a coach.”
“Throughout my time with Chris I have developed both as a person and as a lifter. I have gained experience and developed to hit new PRs across the board, as well a huge improvement in terms of technique and overall knowledge of lifting. He has taught me how to deal with the ups and downs of not just powerlifting but life in general, and has over time become a great friend of mine whom I share a fantastic lifter-coach relationship with.
Right off the bat I could tell Chris was genuinely dedicated to my improvement, doing daily check-ins, giving me constructive feedback on my lifting and together forming and coming up with solutions to the various adversities we faced.
I could not recommend Chris enough, an amazing person and an excellent, dedicated and professional coach.”
“I think being coached by Christian so far has been one of the best opportunities I’ve gotten within the gym setting. He’s a coach but always there to be a friend first. There hasn’t been a time that he wasn’t giving 100% to support me or any other lifter on his squad. Trusting the process is key and he will bring the potential out of you.”
