What Is SHIFT SHOP?
The SHIFT SHOP is a ramp-up fitness program. The first week is intended to be easier for your body to adjust and for you to get acclimated to the moves. Then he gradually increases the intensity of the cardio and strength-training workouts week by week — all while refining your nutrition.
Week 1, Chris uses shorter, 25-minute workouts that’ll help you stay focused and committed. And you’ll be eating a healthy balance of carbs, protein, and fat.
Week 2, just as your body adapts to the workouts, Chris increases their length to 35 minutes. Plus, you’ll cut back on the starchy carbs, while revving up the proteins and veggies.
Week 3, it all comes together. Seven days of higher-intensity 45 minute workouts, while eating clean. This is your grand finale.
And there’s even a modifier you can follow, so you can always get through all the moves, and still get a great workout.
What can you expect after 3 weeks in the shop? Nothing but results. Your body should be leaner, faster, stronger. And because Chris will be shifting you toward a healthier mindset as well, you’ll be able to build on these accomplishments.
Do you need a lot of space to do the workouts?
We recommend doing SHIFT SHOP cardio workouts in a 6 feet by 6 feet space for optimal results and experience but you can make it work in just about any size space (living room, hotel room, dining room, etc)

What equipment is needed?
We recommend you use the Agility Markers which serve as directional targets in your cardio workouts to help improve your reflexes while building your coordination, speed, and endurance. It also asts as personal MOTIVATION! Chris encourages you to write a few goals on each of the markers as a way to push you through your workout. You can purchase them <here>. Some workouts also require weights that are appropriate for your fitness level (I started with 5lbs and gradually moved my way up to 10lb).
What do I love about Chris Downing?
— He keeps It Real.
He has real-world experience, training everyone from beginners to pro athletes. This means his workouts and eating plans aren’t just theories, they’re based on experience. The SHIFT SHOP is about so much more than helping you just get fit and lose weight. It’s about shifting your body and mind to a place that allows you to reinvent yourself. Chris will be there every step of the way to guide you, motivate you, and challenge you.
What is the SHIFT SHOP meal plan like?
The Simple Shift Nutrition guide is compatible with the Portion Fix container system. Based on your current weight, you will be assigned to a category according to the Shift Shop meal plan that dictates how many servings of each category (carbs, vegetables, protein, etc.) you can eat every day. Because the Shift Shop is a ramp-up program, you will start to reduce your intake of starchy carbohydrates and replace them with proteins and vegetables in Weeks 2 & 3.
