Chatham Strength & Conditioning (CSC) is a sole proprietorship started by Kaloma Chatham in 1996. The business is comprised of personal training that specializes in resistance training, diet and cardio vascular exercise.

Initially, CSC was started as a way to earn additional income, using skills Kal Chatham developed in training as an athlete himself. He started off just giving advice to people and shortly thereafter he decided to expand his business to include one-on-one training with clients who have special needs/objectives. He found that working with individuals to meet their physical goals was his passion. One of the advantages to working with CSC is that it is not affiliated with only one athletic club. CSC can work with clients in a variety of venues, whether in a clients home a public or private facility.

In June of 2000 Kal Chatham expanded by using his home as an onsite workout facility. He continued training mobile as well and using the Internet as a means to service a wider spectrum of clients. With a growing customer base, it did not take long for scarcity to become a real challenge to a one-man operation. Kal quickly realized he could not be two places at once, and came to the conclusion that his business would be subjected to his physical limitations. To meet the demands of a growing and successful personal training business, Kal carefully selected top-notch master-trainers to work under him as e-mobile trainers.

Along with the change in business model the business name also was modified from Chatham Strength and Conditioning, to e-Mobile Trainer (EMT). The “e” in e-Mobile Trainer represents the electronic web based transition from traditional face-to-face to Internet customer interaction.

CSC works with a variety of clients, who in most cases have many different goals. These goals consist of weight loss, weight management, rehabilitation, muscle development, speed and endurance, as well as flexibility. EMT prides itself on its diversity of clientele. EMT has male and female clients, clients of all ages, from age 7 to age 89, and clients who have different backgrounds, that include new mothers trying to lose unwanted weight, to professional athletes looking to enhance their performance, as well as everyday men, women and children who would like to develop or maintain an active lifestyle.

One of the aspects that make EMT successful is that it caters to the lifestyles of those who live in Southern California. The moderate temperatures and the cool ocean breeze on the coast, makes it ideal for outdoor activities. Some of these activities consist of swimming, biking, hiking, rock climbing, speed walking, and running/jogging, yoga, and martial arts just to name a few. Other clients have more specialized needs such as specific types of training to suit their particular sport, hobby or medical condition. Another advantage to working with EMT is the flexible working hours. EMT caters to today’s busy lifestyles. EMT also conducts classes for groups who have special interests. Some classes that are offered are martial arts, spin, water aerobics and yoga.

Finally, E Mobile Trainer utilizes the most advanced cutting-edge technology, equipment and training methods available. EMT uses the Internet for keeping customers informed, and exploring new ideas; and relies solely on word-of-mouth/referrals for their advertising, and use e-mail for corresponding with clients and business associates.
