CHRIS FOOTE

WHERE IT ALL BEGAN: Albuquerque, New Mexico, and raised on a ranch in Clovis, New Mexico.

BEST ADVICE I EVER RECEIVED: The master was once a beginner.

WHEN I’M NOT AT CFC, YOU CAN FIND ME: With my family, usually trying to conquer a hike followed by Dunkin’ Donuts — because it’s all about balance and bribery!

FAVORITE BOOK: I can’t choose one, but my favorites are Start with Why, The Art of War, The Entrepreneur Roller Coaster, and Can’t Hurt Me.

MY HIDDEN TALENT: I can imitate almost any voice.

FAVORITE PLACE IN SAN DIEGO: Easy, Coronado Beach!

FAVORITE SONG AT THE MOMENT: Lil Durk, All Love

ITEM YOU’LL NEVER CATCH ME WITHOUT: My liquid death — sparkling water.

Chris Foote, Coronado Fitness Club’s owner and head coach, attributes his passion for health and helping others to a lifelong zeal for athletics and fitness. After playing college sports, Chris realized that nothing made him happier than the camaraderie of being on a team. He dreamt of a career that allowed him not only to stay active himself but to inspire others to become their best selves.

Since buying CFC in 2011, Chris has become a champion of the community. He’s an active member of Rotary and a founding sponsor of the Rady Children’s Hospital Annual Turkey Trot. Community involvement is extremely close to his heart. You’re sure to see him out and about supporting many wonderful causes and events. He commits to eating at least two hot dogs at the Fourth of July parade — a true pillar of the community!

Chris enjoys training all age groups from professional athletes to folks well into their 90s. If you’re here to work, he’s here to coach you.

When Chris is not at the gym, he enjoys all things Coronado with his wife Hattie, daughter Lux, and son Hunter, or furthering his commitment to learning at conferences around the country.
