Champ Up Chat
Champ Up Chat is hosted by resilience strategist and speaker Chris Romulo and his wife, Sarah Romulo, a nutrition and lifestyle coach. Chris, a retired six-time professional Muay Thai champion, and Sarah, a former gym owner and wellness coach, began their journey together in a gritty basement boxing gym in lower Manhattan. Now, through Champ Up Chat, they share practical advice and inspiring stories about building resilience, healthy habits, and a champion mindset. They’re on a mission to inspire you to rise, take ownership, and Champ Up—building resilience and health for yourself and those you care about.
Because in the ring, in life, and in the darkest of times, all it takes is heart.
