Meet the Kris’ Total Fitness Staff

 


Kris Argenziano

Kris

Kris, the current owner of Kris’ Total Fitness, was born and raised in Sahuarita and involved in sports and fitness at a very early age. It’s easy to see that fitness is his passion. He has been a personal trainer since 2006, and has worked with a wide variety of clients, ranging from early teens to clients in their mid mid-90s. This has given him an array of experience from contest preparation and boxing to physical therapy (including rehabilitation after knee, shoulder, back, and hip surgeries). He is not only certified through Silver Sneakers as a Fitness Class Instructor, but he is also certified as a Personal Trainer through the National Gym Association of America. The latter of which requires continued education and recertification every two years. Kris loves being outdoors and staying active. As an avid golfer he can definitely help increase your range of motion to add a few extra yards to those drives. “My overall goal is to bring health and awareness to Tubac and surrounding areas, as well as to provide a clean and professional facility for everyone to enjoy and feel like it’s their second home!”- Kris.

Claire Long received her personal training certification over 13 years ago. Her interest in health and physical fitness lead her to work as a physical therapy tech, where she was mentored in a variety of modalities and rehab therapy. Claire turned her desire to help others into her career as a certified occupational therapy assistant. Working primarily in the home health setting. Claire has also worked in skilled nursing facilities. This introduced her to a full range of therapeutic experiences from working in locked mental health units, to treating patients with spinal cord injuries, stroke patients, common geriatric issues, such as deconditioning, fall prevention and recovery, balance, core, strengthening and flexibility. Claire also has her certification as a Parkinson’s wellness and recovery instructor and therapist. Claire is married with three children, 25, 22, and 17 years of age. Having a child at the age of 36 and not “bouncing back “ Into shape lead Claire to seek help for my personal trainer. Claire found a support vital to her success in getting rid of the baby weight and she continue to use a personal trainer for two years. This was a pivotal point in her life that started her on the path in health and fitness. Claire has transitioned to working at Kris’s Total-fitness in Tubac, Arizona, full-time. Claire is able to use her therapy experience to support her work as a personal trainer. Claire’s therapy certification requires continued education in areas related to her field every three years. She also maintains her BLS certification.
