Chi Bang,
Director of Wellness

Chi comes to BCCG with a wealth of knowledge and experience in the world of health and fitness. With a degree in pre-med, he began his career as a personal trainer in Boston back in 1998. After splitting time between personal training, working in hospitals, and other areas of the health industry, he decided to forego medical school and turn his efforts toward a full-time personal training business. It was there that Chi found something he valued and enjoyed, and that served to fulfill what he desired most in wanting to become a physician: the ability to help people be well. Chi currently works with nationally ranked junior tennis players and has also worked with David Ortiz of the Boston Red Sox on off-season diets and strength programs. He took his work to an international level when he was hired to train Olympic soccer athletes at the Athens 2004 summer Olympics.
