Chris Vu

chris newFive days before the Vietnam War ended in 1975 and at age of fourteen, Chris Vu, along with his family, fled Vietnam. They relocated to California and then eventually settled in New York. Chris went on to achieve a bachelor’s degree in Physical Education from the State University of New York at Brockport. In 2014 the account of Chris (AKA Hoang) and the rest of his family’s escape from Vietnam were made into a book, “They Are All My Family” by John Riordan. Riordan recounts how the escape was organized and how he succeeded in rescuing 105 Vietnamese in the chaotic final days of the Vietnamese War.  The book and Chris’ family were also featured on ‘60 Minutes’ CBS, July 20, 2014. When Chris is not training clients he keeps himself fit by weight training and playing all types of sports ranging from table tennis to basketball.  But his true passions are competitive indoor/outdoor volleyball and slow pitch softball. He resides in Bayshore with his wife Laurie and their children.

Chris Vu is a certified personal trainer with over twenty years in the business.  After establishing his client’s goals and objectives, he dedicates each training session not only to achieving those goals but also in pushing his clients beyond their comfort zone so that they might realize their full potential.  By concentrating on developing his client’s form and technique through detailed and direct instructions, Chris’ clients achieve results that would be hard to duplicate on their own. His successful yet grueling strength training sessions with adults and teens in a caring, fun, and dynamic environment, makes Chris one of the most sought-after personal trainers.
