Chris Thompson
About Chris
Chris Thompson is a British strength and conditioning coach based in JBR who specialises in building functional athletic strength — the kind that makes everyday activities, recreational sport, and long-term physical health dramatically better. With a NSCA-CSCS qualification and extensive Functional Movement Screen training, Chris identifies and corrects the movement dysfunction that causes most training-related injuries.
His programme designs are built around the foundational movement patterns — hip hinge, squat, push, pull, carry — progressed systematically over months and years rather than weeks. This long-term perspective creates genuine strength that doesn't vanish after a deload week, and physical resilience that lasts decades.
Chris trains at a well-equipped gym facility in JBR and conducts outdoor strength training sessions along the beachfront using portable equipment. He is particularly popular with Dubai's British expat community and with recreational sports players wanting to improve their athletic foundation.
