This looks like it's going to be an amazing channel! Love the footage of you playing with your son

I met him in person and so humble. He is the one starting to shake my hand said thank you when I mentioned I watched a lot of his videos. I almost bursting my tears with joys. Thank you Chris. It's pleasure to meet you.

"Don't ask for a lighter burden but ask for a stronger back" - Chris Heria

2024 anyone

You won't even see this message but you have no idea how much you inspire me everyday to push forward. Thank you for everything you do. Bless you

Don't ask for a lighter burden Ask for a stronger back The best I've heard today

“When you love what you do, you never have to work a day in your life!” - so true!!!

" Don't ask for lighter burden but ask for a stronger back " just hit me. Lots of love ❤️ from INDIA

“Don’t ask for a lighter burden, ask for a stronger back”

"I worked out in the park by my house" "Shortly after, I found myself traveling across the world" bruhhhhhh

"Don't ask for a lighter burden, ask for a stronger back" Boom! This video made my day. You are awesome Chris!

I can't speak for many other fitness youtubers. But Chris seems to actually be one of the realest.

God certainly blessed you Chris , I know because I refused to die and I'm still here because God came to me. God bless you always my friend.

Wow. "Don't ask for a lighter burden. Ask for a stronger back..." Very inspiring. Thank you.

I'm going to be training with you this 2019 I'm 6 months sober and drug free, so glad I found this. Peace brother.

The humility that this guy has, it’s stronger than his muscles, and that’s a lot of power! It sets him apart from everyone else.

I thought your oblique workout was absolutely insane. Told myself there was no way i could even get through all the reps. First time i did it, my the second technique i was on the ground out of breath. One month later after watching my diet and frequenting your video i was able to lose 10 lbs and now i am proud to say i can get through all the reps. Go through all the reps 4 times? I’m far from it but more optomistic.

“Don’t ask for a lighter burden, ask for a stronger back.” Brilliant. Your passion and journey are inspiring. God bless you. Keep helping others. You’re making the world a better place, one stronger back at a time. 😀 💖🙏🏻🌎💖

woohoo!

Chris, I just want you to know I just broke down in tears when you told me you had nothing and you lost your son so you starting living everyday as if it was your last. "What would you do on the last day of your life?" I have been struggling hardcore lately with a spiritual journey and just stumbled across your home workout vids a couple of days ago. I have already lost 85 pounds on my own by kicking my ass in the last 11 months but you have inspired me to get super strong for myself on a whole different level. I appreciate your message brother and I'll be playing catch up in 2020 on all your stuff. Sending positive vibes🌌🙏🏾🖤💪🏾

"Don't ask for a lighter burden but ask for a stronger back" - Chris Heria This is gonna stick with me for the rest of my life. Chris, you are so inspirational and optimistic, you helped a lot of people(I'm one of them) around the world. Lots of love ❤️ from Hong Kong, SAR China

"Don't ask for a lighter burden. Ask for a stronger back." That really hit me deep. Thanks for being such an inspiration, man!

it's 2020 and i still watching to inspire

salut Chris from France, je t'ai decouvert pendant le confinement , depuis 2 mois je travaille chaque jour et le résultat est là ! merci beaucoup , pour un gars de 45 ans comme moi , c'est top !

I know I'm one in a million and most probably u won't be able to notice me but I just wanna tell u that you're about to change my life. I weigh 80 kilos last month and I started watching u on how to do the proper push up and now I'm more motivated than ever. Thank u so much.

This. This right here. Is a man, a mans man. He got the way he is on his own, sculpted his body, garnered a plethora of knowledge of health and the human body. And rather than keeping it to himself, he just wants to pass it on to the rest of the world, why? Because he wants people to be stronger. That is what a true man is, that in my eyes is a true alpha Male; a man who is strong, yet wants to see his peers and others around him reach that same strength as well. A real man, doesn't tear others down, rather he builds them up. Mad respect to you Chris, your son is gonna grow up to be a great man, just like his father.

I’m only 15 yrs old. I started working out all by myself earlier this year 2021. Then I found Thenx which seemed cool. Then I started watching it over and over, day after day, month after month. I see different Chris hería workout a lot. Now this changed my life now in just a five months. Thanks Chris keeps for inspiring others to have a better life especially me.

Deym the "Don't ask for a lighter burden ask for a stronger back" really is so useful it helps to just accept the situation and be stronger for it

I am only 14 and this has changed my life

Its actualy crazy how u care about ur fans and everyone u can just see it mad respect!

Thank you for your inspirational videos Cris. I just had a very difficult separation from my fiancé and I’m trying to stay strong for my two sons mentally and physically. God bless

I genuinely feel in my heart that youre a good guy. Subscribed, love your videos

He‘s out there coming so far in his career, looking like an absolute machine but seems to be such a loving father. Respect.

That "don't ask for a lighter buden, but a stronger back" … now that's a motivational quote.

I'm 28 and really hairy this video inspired me to get a neck tattoo.

Chris I'm Peruvian (Peru) and I share your videos with my comunity family groups and friends, everybody do excersise at home in quarantine THANKS BRO , GREAT

I'd really like to hear your "story for another time" about losing everything and being uncertain of your future. It might help someone like me.

Seriously I idolize everything this man stands for from fitness to belief

Chris... oh my God! I'm in a shock right now. I was born exactly 10 years before u ( 21 December 1981). I can't believe it. So I didn't find your video accidentally. Now I understand everything. 😍Wow. It's awesome.

Im your age. Born in 91 from the Philadelphia Area in South Jersey and I’ve done drugs and partied from a very young age. I’ve been clean for 6 years off opiates and over 3 years off Xanax and even though I have lots of clean time I still had very deep depression, anxiety, social problems, afraid to leave the house, no job, no ID, and I’m slowly getting everything I need to be successful in life. I just got my ID back and I have an eye doctors appointment coming up soon my plan is to stop smoking cigarettes and get my body back in shape because I haven’t worked out since my early 20s. And I know through hard work I can be happy with my mental, emotional and physical self. Thanks chris my JOURNEY STARTS TODAY!!!!!!!

Chris heria is a champion. Winning at life. Thanks for the inspiration bro

Damn man you are a blessing. I’m getting through a divorce, mostly on the back end but I ended up getting addicted to the gym and working out through the process. I’ve been looking for different videos of workouts and just recently came across yours. Not only have you motivated me to be my best physical self but also to do what I love and take the reigns on my life. Thanks for the motivation brother!

This is dope can't wait for the movie in Netflix

Already tried some of your night work out,at first my legs hurt but now I am loving what I'm doing...thanks for inspiring millions of people around the world..God bless you and your family Chris 😊🙏

What an inspiring story! Just like you, I love what I do, and I feel so blessed to be able to do them all: teaching kickboxing and Zumba virtually, taking care of elementary kids as a distance learning counselor, and I just got certified to be a wellness advisor! I love your passion, commitment and dedication! Thanks for sharing, Chris! ❤️

Daamn this man !! This beast ! First insane video man You boost me every single day ! Love you bro 💪

I still remember the first video I saw from this channel, at that moment I though: "Ohhh, another fit dude"; then I forgot about the channel, a couple of days after that, I went to the doctor and I discovered that I was really sick; doctors told me that I should work out more, but I couldn't have started until 4 weeks after the treatment started, so I re-started checking some videos and I saw again this fit dude and I realized that his videos was really well done, with good explanations and that stuff; It changed my lifestyle, and I'm still under treatment... But I feel better, also I learned about myself, my body and how to take care of me, so thank you to changed my life

I’m start at 16 by going to the gym and failure later on i moved to calisthenics at 18 but also not progressing at all, and then thenx and chris heria channel really motivated me to go through that journey, now I’m 21 in 2021 and just buy thenx app, now really seeing my physique and stronger and stronger, thankyou chris you really really transform my life, from 46kg now 57kg 🔥💪🏼💪🏼

CHRIS I know I was not the first, but today I was installing my pull bars. I don't have a gym, I usually go to parks and like you I am trying develop each day. It has been 6 months since I started on calisthenics and I'm just loving it. Hope you this comment. God bless you and keep going.

I'm proud of you! You have come so far over these past 2 years! Keep going up!

thank you CHRIS.... we have learned alot from you . my small sis and I practice together to become better.

It's crazy to see how fast your company and channel has grown within 2 years. I started working out for almost 4-5 months, and I recently starting to learn hand stand and planche which is very advance. I won't give up doing so, and I'll always do it. Keep healthy the in shape everyone!

More than just a story of physical fitness and wellness, your story is a case study in successful entrepreneurship and life. This is very inspiring, Chris. "Don't ask for a lighter burden; ask for a stronger back." These words are never more true than in physical fitness and in life progress. Thank you for sharing yourself and your knowledge.

Dude, I'm 25, and I'm glad I found your figure and thenx channel. My life was a mess, lately I just lost everything, I am feeling depressed, sad, heartbroken, embarrased, overwhelmed, disrespected, disappointed and tired. The depression almost got me killed. But I survived, I was trying to find a motivation to continue living, then I look at myself, just how skinny I am. 170 centimeters and 50 kilos, damn skinny. I thought that in order to keep living and fighting this life, I have to transform myself, mentally and physically. And so I decided to start a workout. I looked for some training tips on internet and I ended up on youtube, found your channel and knowing that there's a body training called calisthenics. I watch your thenx videos, watching you and I felt so inspired and triggered. Now I already started calisthenics on my own for about 2 weeks and I will continue working on my body everyday to achieve my body transformation goal. Long story short, I just wanna say thank you a lot, for being an inspiration and motivation for me, now I have a spirit to continue living and fight back my depression. Thank you chris, thank you thenx. I hope you all can always inspire more people out there. "Dont ask for a lighter burden, ask for a stronger back" Best regards from me from Indonesia.

Just find out this youtube channel 2 days ago and get inspired. It's motivated me to live a healthy living and do exercise no matter what. Now i'll done my homework to see your vlog from the latest to the newest *can't takes my eyes on it

You've grown so much within the past 3 years, amazing! 🙏🏼

"Don't ask for a lighter burden, but ask for a stronger back" - Chris Heria. Really nailed it. Thank You so much for the inspiring words. Really motivates me to train harder and better than ever.

mad respect for this guy💯👏💪

I’m just 14 and I am working to make my life successful like you, your son is lucky to have you as a dad

"Don't ask for a lighter burden, ask for a stronger back". That is such a sick mentality!

YES! How long have we been waiting for this!! You never mentioned your awesome music though man... And please, THENX weighted vests next product!

I'm on a fitness journey and I'm glad I found you for the motivation that I need, daily. I've been losing a little over 2lbs a week, through healthy dieting and daily fitness. I wish you continued health, mentally/emotionally/physically.

I’m so fucking INSPIRED! I tried my first progression towards a hand stand because of YOU . I needed this message today so much 🥹 I am at a point in my life where opportunities lie because of difficult situations. This video inspired me to keep going to work on my passion and turn it into a thriving lifestyle.THANKS for all your content . Its changing lives ❤️

Found this channel randomly and damn I must say I found my ideal man! Not because of looks (which obviously Chris is not bad on the eyes) but his attitude, ambition and heart. Keep it up OG!

Thanks for caring enough to share your knowledge with the rest of us Chris. I'm off drugs and alcohol, going for a new beginning and hopefully I'll get my son back someday. He's 5 now, so I hope to get him back by my side by the time he's 9, so that him and me can transform our lives together - through YOUR videos!! God bless..

This is just so inspiring and motivational! I started Calisthenics just 3 months ago when I first came across a video of Chris Heria, before that, I didn't even know what calisthenics meant, I didn't even hear the word before in my life! At first when I saw him do all those cool moves on the bars and then those handstands and everything, it made it all look so easy so I started training for it. But at that time all I wanted was to just keep it as a hobby maybe learn a muscle up or something which even then felt like something I would never do. Thanks to Chris Heria, I accomplished so much in just the last 3 months, I never imagined of doing this, but just one video changed my whole perspective about everything related to fitness! Seeing a video like this makes it all even better, not just physically inspiring but emotionally just gets me feeling like there's so much people in the world that I wanna live for! I wanna live and get the best outta myself to reach their levels and collaborate with them in the future! There are so many people I know who would disagree with my decision and want me to study and stuff instead of anything like this, but Chris Heria and all these amazing calisthenics athletes absolutely changed my perspective in such a short amount of time. I can now see that the only people who don't want me to do this are the ones who think this is impossible for me, but I decided... I'm gonna become a professional calisthenics athlete one day! I'm only 15, if I can do this, so can all of you! I'm just getting started!

Woah, younger Chris heria without neck tattoos looks so trippy! He looks more innocent lol

"Don't ask for a lighter burden but ask for a stronger back" i absolutely love that.

Bro you inspire me because of you i have a pull up bar at home and i do a 100 squats and 100 pushups everyday...peace,love and success to you from Barbados

Chris Amazing vlog don’t stop uploading, 🔥💯🔥

I started watching him when I was about in 5th or 6th grade , but now I'm in 8th grade and I cant say how I became happy to do push ups and not cry or stress through working out. THANK YOU !!💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

Wow bro... Made me cry when you briefly touched on your loss. This really kicks my butt to really do something with my life. To work harder than ever.

man.... I just started your ab workouts almost 2 weeks ago. I'm going to be subscribed to thenx soon when I have the means. I've been addicted to drugs for the last 3+ years of my life and got myself into some trouble. since then I have been completely sober and found fitness as a great outlet for me. I have been watching so many of your videos and am so inspired by you. a week into doing some of your routines and you have already changed my life. I hope I can meet you some day. thank you 💙🙏💪

I am 50 and have a son older than you, but I can honestly say you have inspired me in my everyday life to change. From working out to how i look at my guitar playing. Thanks Damon J.

As only 14 I’ve been watching ur vids for a few years now and it’s changed me physically so much ❤️👍

So excited to be back on your channel, in 2019 I lost 50 lbs with MadFit workouts here on KZfaq, and your workouts as well, now I’m ready to get in the best shape of my life! Will definitely be watching your videos, and adding to my weight lifting schedule, yoga and ballet practice! Also, I appreciate you having videos that are geared towards both men, and women. We need to encourage our queens out here to take care of their bodies too! You will go far Chris, you have a humble attitude, you’re kind, and you see the importance of taking care of yourself. Thank you again for your dedication and time to fitness!

I think i say this for everyone or maybe not but u made a lot of difference in our workouts bruh. U are have literally propelled your self into one of my big idols. This aint kiss up or anything but for real chris u have mad alot of difference. Thanks for the helpful videos man. 🔥🔥✨✨💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽

His body looks way proportional than a lot of weight lifter I know of!

Wow, I’m here from the community post but I remember seeing this video years ago and I never noticed it was your first video on this channel, I assumed it was just the first ever vlog

When you come to this video after 4 years and see his struggle... where he's standing now....... ♥️🌿

You're the man Chris!!! It's inspiring to see someone the exact same age as me making big moves like you do. I'm mad excited for you bro! Don't ever stop ! Much love. Peace

Who's from the Philippines watching Chris Heria. 💓💓💓🇵🇭🇵🇭🇵🇭

5 years from now. I'll be successful! And I'll claim it! I'll get back to this vid after 5 years. Thank you for this vid chris! Let's go and make our dreams our past.

Chris inspires me to workout and keep hustling harder each single day.

I dropped everything to watch the first vlog. Never clicked on a video this fast before.

Wow I never knew you were this cool and inspiring man I’m new here and I already like ur channel and stuff !

Chris, everything will be okay. I can see the strain in your face. People need to focus on themselves and their own work. Austin Dunham is accusing you of things that all fitness people do. Words and phrases are very similar in fitness like "no gym no problem" predates me a 40-year-old fit man. Also superhuman strength remarks. Austin Dunham is coming for you but he will accomplish nothing but lose followers and respect. Chris thank you for your exercises, they are helping me during this quarantine. Much love from this Biologist from New York City!

We’re currently on a lockdown. And watching your videos inspired me to lose weight and hopefully build those muscles soon too. Want to get rid of these beer belly. I only have a pair of dumb bells at home and i follow your exercise most of the time

This comment is probably exactly like every other comment thanking you, but thank you for all your videos, thank you for sharing your story with us. At the end of 2016 I had been doing boxing for 2 years already and I had been in shape, I was 17 and weighed 116 pounds, then I stopped because I was too busy with school, I am now 18 and I weigh 140.8 pounds, I’m striving to get to 150-160 with hypertrophy calisthenics and I can honestly say alot of people will doubt you but in end its your body, if you set your mind to it, you can do it. You and your videos have inspired me and for that I am remarkably grateful.

it's a huge accident that i saw your yoututes!! i've thought i am too old to work out especially for calisthenics. BUT you inspire me a lot and give me courage. nothing is impossible!!! i cheer you here in korea and will work out with you!

watching from Kenya. truly your videos changed my life forever. thnk you

Cannot wait to start this series, Chris you are a huge inspiration for me man I recently found your channel and have been doing your workouts and its helped me so much, thank you bro.
