Personal Trainer Marbella

About Me

My name is Chris Wagner. I'm originally from Rotterdam, the Netherlands, and I'm currently based in Marbella, where I work as a Personal Trainer.

I currently provide personal training at Real Padel and at other gyms in Marbella and the surrounding area. Depending on the client and their preferences, training can also take place at a suitable private home gym.

Alongside in-person personal training, I also offer online coaching. My online coaching is focused primarily on body transformations, helping clients improve their physique through structured training, nutrition, lifestyle habits, accountability and personal coaching.

Background & Philosophy

Personal Background

Fitness and sports have been a major part of my life from a young age. I played hockey throughout my youth, boxed until the age of 22, and have been training consistently in the gym since I was 12.

Over the years, I have gained experience in different areas of the fitness industry. I have worked as a Fitness Coach, Personal Trainer and Sales Advisor at Xfitclub Netherlands, as a Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer at MyLife Fitness, and in rehabilitation-focused fitness training at Fysio Institute Oort.

My experience ranges from bodybuilding, strength training and weight loss to boxing, high-intensity training, athletic performance and rehabilitation-focused training. I have also worked with young athletes, including football players from the Sparta Rotterdam Academy, focusing on strength, conditioning, speed, agility and explosiveness.

Training Philosophy

Today, I see myself as a hybrid coach. I combine strength training and bodybuilding principles with athletic performance, conditioning and functional fitness.

A major part of my coaching is focused on body transformation: helping clients build muscle, reduce body fat, improve their physique and develop healthier, more sustainable habits.

Whether I coach someone in person or online, I look at more than just the training itself. Nutrition, daily routines, consistency, mindset and lifestyle all play an important role in creating long-term results.

My coaching style is positive, structured and motivating. I focus strongly on proper technique, progressive training, personal accountability and building habits that can be maintained long term.

I have already gained valuable experience as a coach, but I also believe that you never stop learning. I'm continuously developing my knowledge, improving my coaching skills and continuing my education within personal training, performance and nutrition.

"Help people become stronger, fitter, healthier and more confident while creating results they can maintain."

Training in action

Results-Driven Approach

Every programme is built around measurable outcomes. Here's what that means in practice.

Clear Goal Setting

We define specific, measurable targets from day one. Whether it's body composition, strength benchmarks, or athletic performance—you'll know exactly what success looks like.

Progress Tracking

Regular assessments ensure you're moving forward. I track performance metrics, adjust programming accordingly, and keep you informed at every stage.

Adaptive Programming

Your programme evolves with you. As you progress—or as life demands flexibility—training adapts without losing momentum toward your goals.

Technique First

Proper form protects your body and maximises results. I prioritise movement quality before intensity—building a foundation that supports long-term progress.

Time-Efficient Sessions

Your time is valuable. Sessions are structured for maximum impact—focused, purposeful training without unnecessary filler or wasted minutes.

Sustainable Results

Quick fixes don't last. I build habits and strength that carry beyond our sessions—giving you the knowledge and confidence to maintain your progress independently.
