Welcome to a stronger you! Ryegate Strength was founded on the fundamental principle that strength unlocks a limitless potential.
My name is Chris Eskin, the founder of Ryegate Strength. Before I talk about where we are going, I feel it important to know where we have been. I hold both a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Exercise and Sport Science, I am certified as a Strength and Conditioning Specialist through the NSCA, Personal Trainer through the ACSM, Movement and Mobility Specialist through the Ready State and Functional Range Conditioning Movement Specialist through Functional Range Systems.
More importantly than the education and certifications is the experience I hold within the field of exercise and movement. I have been a practitioner in the field for over a decade, helping a plethora of clients ranging from the general population, elite level athletes, as well as the clinical population. Through that time, I have fostered a successful track record of helping my clients meet and exceed the goals in which they have set for themselves.
The current space that is exercise and fitness is overflowing with misinformation about what it means to be fit and healthy. Influencers have flooded social media with “get fit quick” and “fitness hacks” that quite frankly do not work. Ryegate Strength was created to combat the influencers stranglehold on the industry and provide high quality information and training that are derived from scientifically backed principles.
I look forward to helping you navigate this space so you can unlock a stronger you.

I’ve trained with Chris since 2016. He’s extremely qualified and knowledgeable. His training is tailored to every individual with overall health and wellness in mind. He is great at recommending modifications for injuries and his coaching cues are spot on! If you have any fitness goals in mind for 2023 and beyond, please contact Chris!

As a family medicine physician, I talk with patients daily (especially women) about the importance of muscle mass, exercise, and balance work. Chris was my trainer 2 years. I knew nothing about weight lifting and his training changed my body! More muscle, more strength! In addition, Chris is funny, fun, engaging, encouraging. I no longer live in SE Michigan but if I did Chris would be my trainer! My husband also loved working with Chris!

You can’t go wrong @ Ryegate with Trainer Chris. I have know Chris since 2017 and he was always my Trainer at the gym. When it came time for him to leave the gym and pursue other opportunities it was a sad day indeed. We still kept in touch as we both run and he checked on me making sure I was doing ok in my workouts and life. As now my Trainer became my friend!
He has taken my workout game to a different level. I’ve learned how to move and do for my body and what my body can do!
Wherever you are in your fitness journey know that Chris will listen and be there for you for your body, mind and soul!
