"After a back injury left me unable to continue the active lifestyle I once led, I knew I needed to change things. I had never weight trained, and frankly was intimidated by it, but after meeting with Chris I decided to give it a try. After 6 months I met my goals and have maintained them for 15 months, But most importantly, I'm back to the active lifestyle I love! Thanks Wellness Zone for your patience and support this past year."

"I've been exercising over the last 17 years at the Wellness Zone with Nick Rao. I look forward to these sessions every week because the rewards, both physically and emotionally, are huge! My primary care physician always comments on the perfect blood pressure, Nick is really fun, and I like how I feel when I look in the mirror. Nick trains for your life functionality, so I am aways pleased when I bend over easily to pick up something, reach up in a cupboard and stand up from a chair without struggling. I am a happy exerciser!"

Three Proven Services

MOVE WELL
personal training

How well does your body move? Think about it, carefully.  Many fitness programs promote weight loss, muscle gain, a better body, etc. We also recognize those goals as important. However, in terms of quality of life, there is a far more important goal, and that is optimizing your body’s ability to function. If you succeed at enhancing your body on the outside but do damage beneath the surface in the process, what have you truly achieved? We strongly recommend that you focus on body performance. Our “Move Well” personal training program ensures superior results in performance and appearance.

EAT WELL
guidance

Food is to be enjoyed. Certainly there is a degree of discipline in consumption of food, both quality and quantity, but when we strike the right balance of pleasure and control, nutrition plans are sustainable and can become automatic. A key component to success is finding the right balance for YOU. As individuals, our circumstances are unique. Your approach to food, if it is to serve you well, must take personal preferences into account.  Our “Eat Well” guidance plan focuses on you and your lifestyle while building a sound foundation of purposeful and pleasurable eating for a lifetime of enjoyment.

LIVE WELL
coaching

Living well is an art and science. Happiness is a perpetual pursuit rather than final destination. Overcoming challenges and celebrating successes are inherent in life’s journey, as one cannot exist without the other. Our proactive coaching strives to forecast potential obstacles for efficient goal achievement. Our problem-solving methods focus on gaining clarity through distinguishing perception versus reality for swift resolution. Family, friends and mentors can be a terrific source of guidance. Our “Live Well” coaching program is a source of insight and an adjunct to your core support system.

Chris Rao

founder, coach

Be strong. Be grateful. Be kind. I do my best to live by those three principles. Pursuing my passion for fitness led to discovering my purpose. Helping others achieve goals beyond what they believe is possible is what I do and it drives my daily motivation. If you have a goal that seems out of reach or one that has eluded you in the past, let’s talk. Well-being is the foundation to achieving meaningful success, so that’s where we will begin. I am confident that with a fit mind and body,  the right strategy and a strong support team, success will be your ultimate outcome. On my days away from Wellness Zone, although I am never too far, you can find me on the water chasing dreams only boating, fishing and the great outdoors can bring to life.

Nick Rao

Co-Founder, cpt
director of operations

My career path as a personal trainer began long before I realized. As a freshman in high school, my brother and I received a gym membership as a gift from our Uncle Warren. We have been partners in fitness ever since, first as workout partners, eventually becoming Wellness Zone business partners. Helping people achieve a better quality of life through fitness is a dream career for me. Every client is unique and requires individualized attention to maximize results. My approach is to customize workout routines based on your specific needs, priorities and lifestyle. I also work hard to accommodate my clients’  busy schedules. On a personal note, my daughter Chelsea is my greatest motivation.

Ben Windle

partner, cpt
director of human performance

I am passionate about self-development and pushing myself mentally and physically. In every sport I played growing up, I worked hard to compete at the highest level and attribute my strong work ethic today to athletics. I was a competitive bodybuilder from the ages of 17 to 24 and started helping others create better habits through exercise and nutrition at 20. For nearly a decade, I have been instilling habits that endure the test of time — habits that last a lifetime. It is the most rewarding feeling seeing clients thrive in the gym and apply that success to everyday life. I love to educate my clients as much as I love to train them. Misinformation runs rampant in the fitness industry. I am blessed that my days are dedicated to clearing up misconceptions about fitness while leading my clients to their highest potential.

Karol Feb

partner, cpt
director of wellness

I am a dedicated and proud mother of two amazing kids. I love the active lifestyle of the outdoors and enjoy sharing that with my family. However, it was with the blessings of motherhood that my back pain began limiting the very lifestyle I have grown to love. With the correct personal training and approach to the body, I was able to eliminate those severe limitations and regain my place in the world that I love. I have always had a passion for helping others, so I dedicated my career to helping my clients overcome limitations and live a full and active lifestyle, a lifestyle of endless possibilities. A life of health offers so much more than just looking great, it’s about being comfortable in your own skin on all levels. My goal is to get my clients to a place where beauty, mobility, strength and function work together in total harmony in your daily life. 

Kyle Morton

CPT, CES
Director of Corrective Exercise

My focus is to help others create habits surrounding fitness that last a lifetime. By taking a holistic approach to optimize your physical and emotional well-being, we can prepare you for your daily activities and adventures. Growing up I found sports and the outdoors as my escape. Things such as baseball, hiking, fishing, and hunting take the ability to move freely. During my college baseball experience, I went through some severe arm injuries that led to years of corrective exercise. Through that journey, I fell in love with the ability to build yourself back up and it became my passion to help others do the same. Being able to do my favorite activities is what keeps me disciplined with my healthy lifestyle. Sustainable fitness routines are built brick by brick and are customized to your individual wants and needs. I will coach you through that process, meticulously.
