ABOUT
Dr. Christopher Bonin
I am Devin Vigneault, Stretch Therapist and Certified Personal Trainer. I am originally from Reston, Virginia. I attended Grand Canyon University and graduated with a B.S. in Biology with an Emphasis in Pre-Physical Therapy. I have been facilitating stretches for over two years and have +2,000 hours of hands-on experience. I am an avid gym-goer, beach bum, and audible book listener.
I have always envisioned myself working in a health and wellness environment and helping others improve their lives. When initially introduced to assisted stretching, I was skeptical. However, I have seen its physical impact on clients, such as the freedom to move, decreased body pain, increased coordination, joint stability, and neuromuscular control, as well as the emotional and mental aspects of getting back to doing what they love.
I am Kelsey Metz, professional Dancer, Performer, Instructor of Dance and Fitness and an Arizona Native. Because of my career and passion for the Performing Arts, I have always been interested in all things Fitness and Recovery; being able to cross train with Strength Training has supported my stamina and physical ability over the past decade. My curiosity in fitness led me into Group Fitness Training where I was able to dive deeper into my personal Wellness Journey. I have now trained group strengthening for over 6 years and continue to take that knowledge into the training of my Dance Students.
​
My love for Wellness and Recovery has been prominent from a young age and I continue to seek information on the topic. I have completed my certification in Progressive Ballet Technique and continue to study Counter Technique in which both methods put an emphasis on anatomical efficiency and muscular control. Even though these techniques are connected to Dance and Movement, I have found the knowledge to be useful when working with people on their fitness and wellbeing and have a passion for sharing and exchanging knowledge with those around me. I enjoy helping people to better understand their own body and learn how they can continue to physically do the things they love with more support and awareness of functionality.

Gianni's dedication to his craft led him to spend two years as part of the EXOS team, further enhancing his skills and gaining invaluable insights into the world of sports performance and conditioning. His passion for helping people reach their full potential eventually led him to

During the COVID-19 pandemic, Gianni showcased his adaptability and commitment to client well-being by partnering with a family medicine practice. Together, they utilized corrective exercise techniques, combined with DC electrical stimulation and soft tissue laser modalities, to treat acute and chronic pain effectively. This innovative approach demonstrated his commitment to continuously evolving his skill set and providing comprehensive solutions to those in need.
Gianni's relentless pursuit of helping individuals find their path to a healthy life led to the creation of Bio-Elite Training Systems. This venture was founded with a profound purpose in mind – to empower individuals to find their true purpose for living healthier, more fulfilling lives. To be
"bio-elite" means to accept the challenge of pursuing this purpose every day. Gianni's educational journey has been equally impressive.
