Meet The Trainers

All Perfect Fit Trainers have achieved at least a brown belt under the watchful eye of Calasanz himself, and all continue to train and learn from the master. Many of our trainers also hold professional personal training certifications.

Our staff of Martial Arts and fitness trainers offer a range of unique and different skills, techniques, and knowledge. The only similarity The Perfect Fit trainers share is high quality professionalism.  Working with different trainers is a great way to heighten your own knowledge and experience.  You may choose just one trainer to work with for a few years, or you may work with a different trainer everyday of the week.

Training Regiment, Membership Options & Trainer Selection:

Upon your request for a trial appointment, The Perfect Fit will send out a “Managing Instructor” to guide you through your first workout.

At this appointment, you will be provided with an overview of:

• The Perfect Fit Program and the Calasanz System
• The range of personal training options available to you

At this appointment, the Managing Instructor will also gain insight into your personal goals and abilities and help construct your customized training plan, including specific or multiple instructor selection.

When you have a determined the type of instructor(s) you would like to use, you may contact the instructor(s) and interview them before committing to a membership. Once there is a solid training plan, schedule, and trainers selected, the Managing Instructor will then assist you in purchasing your membership package and thereafter become your contact for changes or problems.

Jeff Prescott – Managing Instructor

Having spent years in weight training from his early teens to mid 20s, Jeff was looking for something “beyond” the average, run of the mill workout. He found this type of training with the Calasanz Physical Arts. The combination of traditional martial arts with modern sports technology is an exciting and effective way to get and stay in shape, as well as dramatically improve the quality of life.

Jeff has trained with Calasanz for over nine years and received his black belt in 2000. He has been a certified instructor in the Calasanz System for more than 8 years and was the manager of the Norwalk Headquarters for three years. Currently Jeff is serving as manager and head instructor of the Calasanz Physical Arts satellite in Wilton, CT.

“I fully embrace the Calasanz System’s philosophy and I am capable of working with students on all levels of fitness and training. Truly “enjoying” my work, I approach each student with enthusiasm, professionalism and structure.”

Christopher Schrade – Managing Instructor

After a successful high school and college basketball career, Chris turned to the martial arts to correct old injuries and continue the high level of conditioning that he was used to. “I have tried every strength and conditioning program that has surfaced over the past 17 years and not one of them compares to the benefits you receive through the martial arts and The Calasanz System.”

Chris believes that there is more to conditioning a human body then free weights and machines can provide. “A healthy, well conditioned body must be able to do more then just lift, push, or pull a large amount of weight. Strength is just one benefit of training in a martial arts program; flexibility, balance, coordination, agility, speed, grace, and body awareness are some of the other attributes you will improve by training martial arts.

Chris is the owner and head instructor of the Calasanz Westport Studio and has experience working with a wide range of clients with different abilities and interests. Chris is a connoisseur of different exercises modalities and blends The Calasanz System, conventional bodyweight exercises, and unique conditioning exercises seamlessly for his clients. He also loves teaching the fighting and self-defense aspects of boxing, kickboxing, and MMA as well as flowing forms involved with karate and kung fu.
