Meet Chris Maestas, a personal trainer in Reno

Chris Maestas has spent 12 years coaching clients through strength and physique transformations. He holds an NASM certification and has built his coaching approach around a simple idea: results come from smart, consistent training, not gimmicks or trend-chasing programs.

Based in Reno, NV, Chris works with clients who want a coach that understands both the science of muscle building and the discipline required to sustain long-term change. His background in Jiu Jitsu also shapes how he coaches, bringing an emphasis on functional strength, mental toughness, and staying injury-free while training hard.

Chris is part of the Atlas Personal Training network, which matches Reno-area clients with vetted, experienced coaches through an all-in-one coaching app. You can view his full profile and background on his Atlas trainer profile.

Chris Maestas's training specialties and experience

Chris specializes in four core areas:

Hypertrophy for clients who want to build noticeable, lasting muscle
Strength training for clients focused on getting stronger and building a solid foundation
Fat loss for clients who want to lean out while preserving muscle
Jiu Jitsu conditioning and performance for clients who train or compete in the sport

With 12 years of experience, Chris has worked with a wide range of goals and starting points. His NASM certification backs his programming with sound exercise science, while his Jiu Jitsu background adds a layer of functional, real-world strength that pure bodybuilding programs sometimes miss.

This combination makes him a strong fit for people who want more than just a workout plan. Chris builds programs designed to fit around a client's actual life, schedule, and goals, rather than forcing a one-size-fits-all routine.

What it's like to train with Chris Maestas

In his own words, Chris describes his mission simply: "I help people become strong, confident, and unstoppable." His coaching philosophy centers on real results without the fluff.

Whether a client wants to build muscle, drop fat, or simply feel better in their own skin, Chris designs the program around the person, not the other way around. Training with Chris means showing up to workouts that are purposeful. Nothing is wasted, and every session moves you toward your goal.

He describes his approach as training smart and training hard, while staying consistent enough to see the results follow. Clients working with Chris, whether in person or online, can expect to be pushed, guided, and held accountable so they avoid the frustrating plateaus that stall so many fitness journeys.

Chris also frames his coaching as bigger than fitness alone. He sees strength training as a way to help clients level up other parts of their life, using the discipline and confidence built in the gym as a foundation for everything else.

Where Chris Maestas trains (online, in person, home gym)

Chris offers both online coaching and in-person training, giving Reno clients flexibility in how they work with him.

For in-person sessions, Chris trains out of American Iron Gym, located at 650 S Rock Blvd in Reno, NV. This gym serves as his home base for hands-on coaching, form correction, and the kind of direct feedback that in-person training provides.

For clients who prefer flexibility or live outside the immediate Reno area, Chris also offers online coaching. This option still includes structured programming and regular guidance, just delivered remotely through the Atlas app.

Whether you are local to Reno and want to train face-to-face at American Iron Gym, or you prefer the convenience of online coaching, Chris can build a plan around your situation.
