Christian Maclaren

Christian Maclaren joined Asphalt Green in 2025, bringing a fresh perspective on functional movement and personalized training. His personal training career began in 2023 at Jetts in New Zealand, where he ran “Learn to Lift” classes. These sessions introduced beginners to foundational movement patterns and compound lifts, helping them build strength, confidence, and proper technique. With five years of teaching experience, Christian combines his love for movement with a natural ability to educate and empower others.

Fitness has profoundly shaped Christian’s life, teaching him to balance pursuing the body’s potential with the need for care and recovery. His training philosophy emphasizes functional movement patterns that mimic real-life actions, central nervous system (CNS) activation for strength and coordination, and mobility training to support joint health and long-term performance. He believes this balanced approach leads to better performance, injury prevention, and overall well-being. Whether clients aim to master a new skill, achieve a fitness goal, or move better in daily life, Christian is dedicated to guiding them every step of the way.
