My wife, Emily and me
 My name is Chris R. Williams and I have been a personal trainer for 17 years.  I was a successful athlete at Orangefield High School in Orange, TX.  Also, I had the opportunity to play football at Northwestern State University where we won a conference championship.  I returned home and attended Lamar University in Beaumont, TX where I studied Dietetics and Nutrition.  During those years, I competed as a bodybuilder culminating my career in a win in the Golden Triangle Classic as the Heavyweight and the shows Overall Winner.  The experience that I have earned is as valuable as the education I received and I apply that unique knowledge to every single client at Emeritus Health.

Dr. Obayduer Khan, MD, a geriatric provider, helped me to see the great need for America's aging population to get active in order to increase flexibility, improve gait and increase lean muscle mass.  Due to inactivity, your muscles will atrophy and you will become weak and unstable.  I developed Emeritus Health to focus specifically on ALL the health and fitness challenges that the 'aging' population face in their daily lives.  I work with clients after surgeries and physical therapy to continue the therapy and progress that was being made.  In many cases, insurance will not allow for the client to reach the level they were at before the procedure.  I will come into your home and help you return to your active lifestyle and reach your goals. 

I love what I do and the challenges my clients provide for me on a regular basis.  I encourage you to call and take advantage of our FREE orientation today and get your balance and your independence back!
