New Coach! Introducing Chris Rios

January 6, 2026 by Kathryn Alexander Leave a Comment

Exciting news, y’all! My co-worker and friend Chris Rios is going to be coaching with me, at Big Tex Gym.

Chris and I met at Big Tex Gym when I was just there as a member, 12 or 13 years ago. When I moved to Big Tex Gym as a personal trainer, we officially became co-workers.

I realized, I like and trust both Chris and his wife, and I like his training style and his clients. That’s a big deal; good people have good people around them!

So, when I had to be out of the gym for a few days with a little procedure, I asked my clients if they’d be interested in working with Chris so that they didn’t miss their training sessions.

(I hate to cancel sessions, so it was a huge blessing that my clients and Chris were on board!)

Turns out, my clients love Chris! We decided to make it official and work together more.

Work With Chris

Chris is fantastic with strength and bodybuilding goals, and food and diet guidance. He has a degree in kinesiology and sports science, and has been a trainer for over 20 years. If I trust him with my clients, you know he’s great!

I’ll let him tell you more about himself below! In the meantime, if you’d like to do a free consult with me or Chris, we can discuss your goals and schedule, and decide who will be the best professional for you.

A Message from Chris

Kathryn and I first met back in 2013 at Big Tex Gym. We have been friends ever since. We talk extensively about fitness, football and food. Recently, we have decided to team up and work together by helping our individual clients and each other’s clients reach their fitness potential. 

After graduating with a bachelor’s degree in kinesiology and sports science, I moved to Austin in 2004. I have worked at big corporate facilities such as Gold’s Gym and 24 Hour Fitness. I have been an independent personal trainer since 2011 and have been at Big Tex Gym ever since. When I’m not at the gym, I like to spend my free time with my wife and our fur babies. 

My name is Chris Rios. Please let me know if I can help you with anything.
