About us

Chris Shah received his mentorship through Legendary Strength and conditioning Coach Mike Boyle of the World Series Champion Boston Red Sox and US Olympic Woman’s Hockey team.

I founded Terra Nova Fitness as an alternative to the sales first cookie cutter fitness big box gyms. I continue to pursue an all-consuming desire for continuing education and constant growth. 

I attend and participate in 5-6 seminars and workshops a year and continue to stay in contact with my mentors. Along with my deep love of total health and fitness learning I am an avid reader. 

We are focused on building a family atmosphere where individuality and an empowering mind set is celebrated. We build health and fitness programs around you.

 Im recognized as a functional movement screen expert.
