I had hit my mid 40's, was coming off an injury, work a busy desk-based job, have kids with lots of activities, had a bad diet, and rarely had time to work out when I started at Aum Training Center last spring. I barely made it through the first class, but since Chris liked to talk about the NBA, I came back for another session. And I was so glad that I did. Slowly but surely, he helped me turn it around. At every session, Chris treats me like I am his most important client. He designs and manages core workouts that are at my level. He also regularly highlights diet and other health issues. Now, several months into training with Chris, I am stronger, have more energy, feel so much better and more importantly, have the tools to continue to succeed. Discovering Aum Training was a great find. Chris is a highly skilled trainer who can design killer workouts, make the session enjoyable, and then shift seamlessly into knowledgeable nutrition, diet and life balance discussions. I highly recommend Chris and his team at Aum Training Center!! read more

Excellent training center. Great workout programs. Previous workouts led to back and shoulder injuries and Chris has helped me to modify my routine. Working on core work which has increased strength and decreased fat. I would recommend Aum to anyone that is looking for a professional trainer. read more

Aum Training Center - The gear - Trainers Near Me - Boston, Massachusetts

I began working with Chris about 6 months ago due to a referral from my physical therapist. Because of a chronic pain condition, I wasn't sure if I'd be able to sustain this type of exercise program. Chris worked closely with my physical therapist and put together a program that was challenging while also working around the source of my pain. Within 1 month, I had begun to achieve results while surprisingly improving the pain condition. I'm now training at a level I never thought possible, thanks to Chris's attention to detail and mindful approach. Six months later, I've shed 7% of my body fat, increased muscle mass, and am in better shape than even before the onset of my pain condition 3 years ago. I highly recommend Chris and AUM for anyone serious about improving their overall physical well being. read more

If you are looking for a personal trainer, look no further than Chris Carreiro and his team at Aum Training Center! For my whole life, I shunned exercises like the plague, and last May, I reached a breaking point. My wife (yes that's how it goes) signed me up to train with Chris, and he has changed, and quite possibly saved, my life. I'm a scientist and very stubborn, but Chris changed everything. For over a year, I've been showing up bright and early twice a week, I have changed my diet, and I have lost 50 lbs, and it's still moving down. My pant size went from 44+ to 38 waist, and I feel better about myself and more motivated in all aspects of life. It's not just a gym, its a life transformation center! Unlike most trainers I have seen, Chris is 100% attentive to all you do and will critique and correct form for every second you are there. He is 100% in this job and invested in your progress. I trained one on one for one year and then switched to a group, which is a lot of fun too. read more

Nick Lynch is really fun to work with, and he designed great workouts. 1 Session each week plus going to gym on my own for 3 months gave great results. Although It is absolutely possible to get great results on your own, It really helps to get some gym knowledge and motivation here. read more

Training with Chris Carreiro at Aum Training Center has enabled my mind and body and to achieve a level of confidence and fitness that I haven't known since high school. Over the course of 12 weeks of working together with Chris I went from 212 pounds to 194 pounds. I became stronger, more flexible and my mood and temperament improved. Chris isn't just a trainer, he is a holistic health and training guide, who will lead and inspire you to better health and fitness. How did Chris do this for me? He helped me pick healthy foods to fuel me throughout the day, promote weight loss and leave me feeling more energetic. Chris's training methods go into the psychology of working out and making healthy choices, without getting overly complicated. Run, don't walk, and sign up for a training session with Chris. read more

I have no reservations in recommending the Aum Training Center, and specifically Coach Chris Carreiro, to the Yelp community. I am an avid distance runner, but over the years, I kept injuring my hips, knees and feet while training for races. After spraining my plantar fascia last summer, I thought that my body wasn't able to handle the distance running. I'm so thankful that I was referred to the Aum Training Center before I gave up on running because training with Chris has completely changed my running experience. I'm happy to report that after five months of training with Chris, I'm about to run another marathon and I'm injury-free! The key to Aum Training Center's strategy is a holistic approach to achieving a healthy lifestyle through nutrition and whole body strengthening. I've never felt healthier than I do now as a result of working with the Aum Training Center. I've used prerecorded cardio and strengthening classes at home in the past out of convenience. The online workout subscriptions are no substitute for an individually tailored program for your specific health goals. I should also mention that Chris is just a fun person to work with. Let's be honest, weight training and pull-ups aren't always fun activities. Chris has a positive, judgment-free attitude that keeps me laughing every week. read more

Chris is the best. Truly the best! I have been training with him for 4 years. Over the years I have trained with him, he has helped me reach my pre-wedding goals, helped me stay extremely fit during my pregnancy (which led to an extremely fast labor) and helped me post-pregnancy to get back to my "old self" both physically and emotionally. Chris takes a "whole person" approach to training. He supports his clients in reaching their goals by helping them to make changes in multiple aspects of their lives including fitness, nutrition, and mood. What also sets Chris apart from other trainers is his attention to detail. He spends the entire training session checking and modifying his client's form from all angles. This leads to faster results and prevents injury. Chris is not only a fantastic coach, he has also become a great friend. read more

I got pulled into Aum by sheer coincidence through a friend, Sashya to try working out together, late Nov. We go twice a week, listen to some awesome bhangra/bollywood tunes and push our limits every time. Chris has this energy that is super contagious. What distinguishes Chris from other PT I've done is his check on nutrition/habits/stress and planning ahead on these matters, after each session. I have lost 15 lbs over 3 months, and gained tremenous amount of positive energy and attitude. I look forward to my sessions because they are fun with a friend and a peppy, strong, happy-go-lucky yet a very demanding trainer, who has only one goal for you - progress every week. Thanks Chris and Sash! Its been a joy ride with you two ... have no plan to leave but make this part of my life :) read more

I started training with Chris at Aum Training Center after someone recommended Chris to me. I hate working out and eating correctly. Chris met with me and we discussed my goals back at the end of the August. Chris made suggestions relative to changing my diet (i.e. - eating more and more frequently) and we committed to start working out together once a week starting in September with me being responsible for two workouts a week on my own that he designed and then two cardio days. I have been working with Chris for about 4 months and the progress is starting to show. I am down almost 22 pounds and feel much better about myself. Chris has taught me about working out and I no longer feel awkward when at the gym. Chris is so patient with me and encouraging. I couldn't more highly recommend a personal fitness coach! read more

Transformative. "W"holistic. Personalized. Chris and the Aum Training Center model re-define an approach to wellness that goes far beyond the experience of a 'training session' to include personalized support around the entire training experience - nutritional support, personalized 'homework' plans, motivational support and more. For someone otherwise intimidated by training, the experience has given me a confidence and commitment to my own physical well being that had never existed prior to my time at Aum. At its core, the training focuses on mastering subtleties of movement that seem innate and natural but which deliver tremendous results and without the fear of injury. The workouts are comprehensive, tailored not just to the individual, but the individual's place in their wellness journey - there is a dynamic attention to detail based on real-time feedback during sessions. As a physician, I cannot more highly recommend Chris and the Aum Training Center as a catalyst for transformative, 'w'holistic and guided personalized change in my own life. read more
