Chris Jantz
Head Coach & Co-Founder, Executive Edge
Hall of Fame Bodybuilder • 40+ Years as a Fitness Professional • Creator of Hybrid-5 Training Systems
With over 40 years in the fitness industry, I’ve built my career around helping people achieve real, lasting transformation through smart training, structured programming, and a grounded, holistic approach. I bring decades of hands-on experience (from bodybuilding to martial arts to long-term lifestyle coaching), all centered on one mission: helping people become the strongest, healthiest version of themselves.
Hall of Fame Bodybuilder
I’ve been competing and coaching in the bodybuilding world for decades, earning top placements at major shows and ultimately being inducted into the Natural Bodybuilding Hall of Fame in 2024. This recognition reflects a lifetime of commitment to the craft, the culture, and the discipline of physique development, which I now bring directly to Executive Edge clients.
Lifetime Natural
My journey began early through martial arts and a relentless commitment to physical culture. I’ve stayed true to a drug-free, longevity-driven path, pushing myself to master the fundamentals and refine my craft year after year. Over time, I built a coaching philosophy rooted in classic, no-nonsense training principles, elevated with modern strength science and mind-body integration. My focus is simple: sustainability, resilience, and the kind of long-term transformation that builds strength from the inside out.
Executive Edge
Executive Edge combines structured training, practical nutrition habits and coaching support. The current Private Coaching plan is delivered by Joe, with a routine tailored to your circumstances and regular opportunities to review and adjust it.
