About Christopher
Hello! I’m Christopher Paslay, a dedicated trainer at 10 Fitness, where I enjoy sharing my passion for fitness and health. With more than 20 years of experience in the industry, I hold certifications as an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer, ISSA Corrective Exercise Specialist, and NCI Applied Nutrition Certification. I joined 10 Fitness for its strong training programs and the welcoming community.
I earned my Bachelor’s in Psychology and Master of Rehabilitation Counseling from Arkansas State University, which both shaped how I approach fitness. I focus on body recomposition and corrective exercise, especially for people recovering from injuries or managing chronic conditions. I work closely with individuals facing Metabolic Syndrome and athletes returning from injury.
What motivates me most is seeing clients overcome personal barriers and grow stronger through the process. I’m known for staying supportive and encouraging, helping clients stay focused as we work together toward shared goals. I listen carefully and adjust each plan to support progress and accountability.
Outside the gym, I enjoy spending time with family and hiking with my dogs, always looking for time outdoors. I find inspiration in the accomplishments of those closest to me and value those deep connections every day.
Originally from Bald Knob, Arkansas, I now live in Brookland, where I went to school and started a family. I stay involved in local activities—especially efforts supporting mental health and helping on nearby farms.
One experience I look back on with pride was serving four terms as Chairman of the Arkansas State Rehabilitation Council. As a fan of Ted Lasso, one quote that resonates with me is, “I hope that either all of us or none of us are judged by the actions of our weakest moments… but rather by the strength we show when, and if we’re ever given a second chance.”
More than anything, I hope people remember me as someone who gave everything for his family and helped others achieve their best. Whether I’m coaching soccer or supporting Arsenal, I aim to bring out the best in those around me.
