Our Story

Established in 2011, Show Up Fitness saw the average certified personal trainer quitting within 12-months as unacceptable. In an effort to combat the low retention of new trainers, Show Up began opening gyms throughout the world to educate certified & aspiring personal trainers to become qualified. Chris Hitchko, Founder of Show Up Fitness, graduated from California State University Chico with a degree in Kinesiology, CSCS, internships at the University of Connecticut, Cardiac Rehab, and Physical Therapy. He has also authored How to Become A Successful Personal Trainer and has taught over 3,500 personal trainers.
