Hello!

My name is Christopher Bruton and my purpose and passion is to train, coach and bring vitality and health to your life.

GRIT Performance is a culmination of my life devoted to sport, fitness, nutrition, and health.  I grew up training extensively and specifically in the sport of hockey.  I was able to make a living playing the game I loved and competed for five years professionally.  Throughout my development from an early age until I retired from the game, I learned a diversity of training methods and programs.  I was fortunate enough to have gone through the highest caliber training programs from National Hockey League teams such as the St. Louis Blues, New York Islanders and Detroit Red Wings.

The sport of hockey opened a plethora of opportunities that included obtaining a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) from Acadia University. I also received a Masters of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of the West of Scotland in my final year of professional hockey playing for the Braehead Clan in Glasgow, Scotland.

I have gone through hours and hours of training, weightlifting and developmental tools and practices to reaching my ultimate potential as an athlete. This includes sports psychologists and personal developmental coaches to enhance mental fortitude and performance.  Having stepped away from the game, I have been able to take certain aspects from my hockey training experiences and integrate them into multi-dimensional programs that are inspired to support athletes and individuals on reaching their fitness goals. I have worked out in functional sport specific gyms directed towards climbing and mountaineering.  I have expanded my knowledge and curiosity by actively participating in mobility classes, nutritional seminars, yoga classes, body recovery workshops, breathwork classes and just about anything else related to fitness. I am a Certified Personal Trainer, Expert Group Fitness Instructor and a Registered Yoga Teacher (200Hour).

I want to support you by pushing not only your body but connecting with your motivation, improving your mindfulness, and creating personal growth and expansion.

I hope to provide value, motivation, energy, experience, coaching, knowledge, and a friendship to supporting your health and sport specific goals. 

Sincerely,

-Christopher
