Queer Mid-life Stories
#6 - Chris O'Neill
You're going to love getting to know Chris O'Neill, one of the brilliant Fitter Confident You Success Coaches. We discuss:
- why and how so many of us feel we have to hide who we are at school
- that he's now working at the gym where he first got into strength-training
- why getting sobers has helped him live more authentically
and... Taylor Swift. And Cats.
Tuck in!
Chris is a New York City based trainer and current Fitness Director of Speakeasy of Strength, Brooklyn.
Though an avid runner and kettlebell enthusiast, he tries not to do both at the same time as much as possible.
When not in the gym (a phrase that younger Chris cannot believe is a descriptor involving him) he can be found singing, acting, sitting on the beach on Fire Island, or trying not to acquire more cats.
His love for Taylor Swift knows no bounds (in fact he's known at the gym as Coach Swift), and he sincerely hopes that you don't ever find yourself "down bad, crying at the gym.
