About Chris Lyons
About who now? Chris Lyons, you know, the dude who runs this site.NAME: Chris Lyons AKA: I’ve been called all sorts of things. DOB: 16/06/1982 or 06/16/1982 if you’re American. NATIONALITY: Aussie, Aussie, Aussie, Oi, Oi, Oi!!! WORK: Athletic conditioning coach, fitness consultant, seminar leader and founder of Personal Evolution. FAVOURITE DRINK: Coffee, extra strong. Other than that water. Don't drink alcohol. Boring huh? FAVOURITE MUSIC: Korn, System of a Down, Mozart and all sorts of other incongruous combinations. It's a personality thing. FAVOURITE MOVIE/S: “300”, Enter the Dragon, Chopper, Once Were Warriors, Braveheart, The Last Samurai, Saw (and the sequals) and several others too numerous to name. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- My name is Chris Lyons and previously I let someone else write my about me page and it was a little too self-promoting and pretentious. So I’ve written my own. Firstly I am not just some goose interested in fitness that claims to know how to obtain it. Since the age of nine I have been working out and looking for ways to increase my fitness in various capacities. I studied martial arts, boxing and later started playing Rugby League and Union and recently water polo. I was always obsessed with physical conditioning and spent time sprinting hills, punching a bag, lifting weighted buckets and anything else to increase my fitness. With a burning obsession from such a young age of course I naturally later became a qualified trainer and strength and conditioning coach and also had some success in martial arts and sprinting (10.72 for the 100 metres at age 16). I am still as obsessed with physical conditioning as I ever was and have spent most of my life researching the science, trying it out for myself and applying it to others. I pride myself on both having solutions and my ability to find them. I started Personal Evolution as a response to the poorly executed fitness programming I witnessed in just about every health club and sports team. I am known for defying convention if something more effective presents itself or has proven its worth to me. I train consistently, I train hard and I permit myself to suffer. I value the same quality in others. Suffering in the name of performance and elitism among like-minded individuals creates a kind of fraternity, an environment I aim to perpetuate through the teachings of this site. I won’t include any of my accolades, achievements or rantings on this page, it’s just a bit about who I am, written in the most minimalist fashion. I am now a husband and a father. I live with my wife Heidi and Daughter Nitara with (at the time of this writing) kid number two on the way.
