Hello, my name is Chris Kurisko and I am the owner of Black Iron Training.  I have been training people professionally since 2006.  

​​

My focus is on helping people increase their strength and improve their fitness.   

​​​​

I am a graduate of Michigan State University and have earned training credentials from Starting Strength and the American Council on Exercise. 

​​

Along with running my gym for the last 15 years, I have also worked as a contractor for the following organizations:

​​​​​​​

-Lansing Hockey Club

​​​​-Michigan State Police Training Academy 

​-Starting Strength/The Aasgaard Company

-Starting Strength Online Coaching

​-Barbell Logic

​

Prior to opening my own facility I started as a personal trainer for the YMCA of Lansing in 2006. While working for the Y I also ran the JumpStart program for new members and led the Active Older Adult program.​​​  In 2007 I was named employee of the year.
