CHRIS GIESKING
An expert in human movement who helps developing lacrosse athletes, boys and girls, move better, get faster and stay healthy. In person in Lakeville, Minnesota, and in Steamboat Springs, Colorado during the winter, or virtually all year.
MOVE BETTER. PLAY BETTER.
Chris specializes in mobility, athletic performance and how the human body moves. He holds a master's degree in Human Movement and has spent about 20 years coaching thousands of athletes, students and clients. He co-founded Mi5 Fitness & CrossFit Lakeville in Minnesota.
His coaching is built on evidence-based methods, solid fundamentals and disciplined follow-through, not gimmicks. He finds how each athlete moves, fixes what's holding them back, and builds speed and strength on top of it, so athletes perform better and stay healthy.
Chris also trains winter sport athletes. Skiers and snowboarders work with him to get ready for the season and to stay healthy and strong all winter long, so they can keep enjoying the sports they love. He's an avid snowboarder himself.
He served 11 years in the Army and National Guard, including as a tabbed Army Ranger, and played college rugby at the University of Northern Iowa. He brings that same never-quit mindset and focus on self-accountability to every athlete he coaches.
