About Us
Our Story
STRONGCOLOGY was born out of resilience, passion, and the unwavering belief that strength training can transform lives. Co-owners Chris and Alicia Brown first met in college at the University of New England. With over 20 years of experience in their respective fields—Chris in personal training and Alicia in physical therapy—they built thriving careers helping clients achieve their health and wellness goals.
But it was Chris’s battle with Acute Myeloid Leukemia that truly redefined their mission. Through his recovery, Chris discovered firsthand how strength training played a pivotal role in rebuilding his health, resilience, and overall well-being. Determined to help others harness the power of strength, Chris and Alicia launched Strongcology, a personal training and physical therapy studio dedicated to holistic wellness.
Our Philosophy
At STRONGCOLOGY, we believe wellness is about more than just treating symptoms or isolated body parts—it’s about cultivating strength, mobility, stability, balance, and resilience through a whole-body approach. Our STRONGCOLOGY app brings this philosophy to life with expert-designed fitness programming specifically for cancer patients.
Unlike standard fitness apps, ours offers tailored strength training plans that adapt to your unique needs and energy levels, giving you the power to adjust workouts based on your fatigue levels throughout treatment and survivorship. With accessible, easy-to-follow workouts and progress tracking, our app empowers you to rebuild strength, improve mobility, and enhance stamina at your own pace. Whether you're in treatment, recovering, or thriving beyond cancer, STRONGCOLOGY is here to help you regain strength and confidence on your own terms, every step of the way.
