Working with Chase during the 2020 season helped me tremendously to get healed, healthy and come back to competition stronger than ever. My route to the Tokyo Games was plagued with setbacks and injuries but the precise and advanced training Chase implemented helped me to hone in on my skills and ultimately helped me win another Olympic medal.

I started training with Chase four years ago, after finishing up physical therapy for lower back surgery. My physical therapist recommended that I work with Chase in order to strengthen and keep my back healthy and pain-free. I continue to work with him because he has helped me do all of that and more. He has a philosophy that no one has to live with pain, and he’s demonstrated time and again that he knows how to help me live that way. One of the first things I noticed when I started working with Chase was that I almost always left our sessions feeling better than when I started. When I came in with anything from slight discomfort to actual pain in a body part, Chase would modify our sessions to address the pain and show me what to do at home to continue to help my body feel good. Over time, I’ve learned how to do some of these things for myself, and Chase is always available if I have questions or issues outside of our training time.
I’ve continued to be impressed with Chase’s range of knowledge and experience. Having had some back issues in the past himself, he understood my limitations – and fears – especially around exercises that involve heavy weights. I’ve never been afraid of working hard, but I was afraid that I might re-injure myself, as my back surgeon had suggested I never again lift anything heavier than 10 pounds. Chase showed me that with the right technique I could make my back stronger without risking reinjury.
On a personal level, I really enjoy working with Chase. He’s got a ton of energy and creativity, and he has a way of making fun of himself and me (okay, mostly me) that adds an element of lightness to our sessions. Chase’s creativity and adaptability have really been highlighted during the coronavirus shutdowns. I’ve been so impressed with how easily I’ve been able to maintain my training regimen while working with Chase remotely, over FaceTime. While I don’t have access to the full range of equipment available at the facility where we train, with some investment in equipment on my part (mostly kettle bells), I’ve been able to carry on better than I expected. Chase keeps switching up my program to keep it interesting and to keep me progressing, which has to be challenging given that he’s working with more constraints on his end.
I think the best recommendation I can give him is that I plan to keep working with him. And when I leave Maryland, as I will likely do in a few years, I know that I’ll be able to continue working with him wherever I end up.

I have been training with Chase for over three years.
My transformation has been astounding. Chase is unbelievably patient, very generous and extremely knowledgeable and well trained.
He is very focused, clear and allowed me to move at my own pace, which was initially exceedingly slow with some frequent discouragement on my part. I had severe injury in both knees and much limitation and pain in my right hip.
I had not been able to squat for over 30 years. And I could only walk for less than 20 minutes without substantial pain. I can now finally squat, walk and hike for an hour or more, and now I can even lift a 56 pound kettle bell using a learned hinge movement pattern. I also recover much more readily from any setbacks I encounter, which has kept my attitude much more optimistic. A big plus in the requisite aging process.
Chase’s systemic approach of skillfully helping the individual connect and restructure their whole kinetic chain of tissues from top to bottom as one unified unit, truly strengthens, reshapes and rebalances all the joints, muscles and tissues throughout the whole body. It’s brilliant.
I practice and teach Qi gong, tai chi and other movement arts. The principles and practices that I have learned with Chase have truly optimized both my normal movement patterns and especially my other athletic endeavors. I very much doubt I could have made such good progress in any of these fronts without Chase’s tremendous skill.
I highly recommend his training and coaching to anyone who either wants to optimize their current well-being, such as a young and aspiring athlete, or one who has had physical setbacks in their life journey.
