Get Forged. Chris Altrogge
Owner - ANVIL Bodyworks LLC
LMT, MPS, ISSA Elite Trainer & Transformation Coach

Welcome to ANVIL Bodyworks, where we share in your transformative journey to health and wellness. From a passion cultivated since childhood, Chris has evolved into a Licensed Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, specializing in breath and bodywork for both physical and mental well-being. Chris understands the toll that stress can take on the body and mind. His personal journey, from embracing a misguided approach to self-care to a life-changing realization in 2017, forms the foundation of his mission and sparked a commitment to share the power of self-care with others. With a background in martial arts, including 20+ years as a defensive tactics instructor, Chris draws parallels between the precision of a samurai sword and the need for individuals to be sharp and strong. As a Massage Therapist/Bodyworker, Chris employs therapeutic, spa, athletic, and deep tissue modalities, along with acupressure techniques, to eliminate waste, reduce stress, and enhance flexibility. At ANVIL Bodyworks, Chris's philosophy centers on each client being a 'precision instrument' requiring professional 'tuning.' A commitment to providing productive sessions with included tools, such as aromatherapeutic essential oils, hot packs, hot stones, cupping, and the Dolphin MPS, defines the ANVIL experience. Chris encourages clients to adopt a ‘healthy self-interest’ and to expect ‘more’ from their massage, emphasizing that recuperation and rejuvenation are necessities, not luxuries. Chris is dedicated to helping individuals minimize unseen stress, take time to breathe, and stay sharp. At ANVIL Bodyworks, the mission is clear—apply exacting pressure through bodywork to remove impurities and help clients get back to 'doing what they do,' taking care of those who depend on them. Self-care is not just a concept; it's a commitment to equipping individuals to take care of themselves so they can better care for others. Expect more, experience more, and embark on a journey of wellness with Chris at ANVIL Bodyworks. Additionally, Chris is a certified ISSA Elite Trainer and has been active in the health and wellness space for over 25 years. An Army Veteran, former Supervisor with the Colorado Department of Corrections, and DoD contractor; Chris continually strives to strike harmony between the week and the weekend enjoying motorcycling, hiking, fishing, reading, and photography.

𝘛𝘩𝘦 𝘚𝘤𝘪𝘦𝘯𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘗𝘢𝘪𝘯

Cold weather slows circulation, tightens fascia, and increases joint stiffness. If everything aches more in January, it’s not in your head.

Massage improves blood flow, mobility, and warmth throughout the tissue.
Your body deserves to feel fluid again.

01/19/2026

𝘚𝘵𝘢𝘳𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘍𝘳𝘰𝘮 𝘢 𝘗𝘭𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘮

Stress may have shaped your past season, but it doesn’t have to shape your year. Your nervous system is adaptable — and massage helps remind it of its natural rhythm.
Let’s begin again.

01/17/2026

𝘛𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘴𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘮𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘰𝘯 𝘏𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘦𝘯𝘴 𝘖𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘦

There is no quick fix for stress, pain, or burnout — but there is consistent support, ritual, and care.
ANVIL isn’t about one session. It’s about who you become with steady attention.

01/16/2026

𝘉𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘵𝘩𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬 + 𝘉𝘰𝘥𝘺𝘸𝘰𝘳𝘬: 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘞𝘪𝘯𝘵𝘦𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘵

Deep breath in… long breath out.
Massage helps shift you from “fight-or-flight” into rest, repair, and restoration — the place where healing actually happens.
Come home to your body this winter.

01/15/2026

𝘙𝘦𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘴𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘞𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘵 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘋𝘪𝘥𝘯’𝘵 𝘙𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘻𝘦 𝘠𝘰𝘶 𝘞𝘦𝘳𝘦 𝘏𝘰𝘭𝘥𝘪𝘯𝘨

Holiday tension doesn’t disappear when the calendar flips. Many bodies enter January still bracing, still tight, still exhausted.
A presence-based session unwinds the patterns stress leaves behind so your body can feel new again.

01/14/2026

𝘈 𝘕𝘦𝘸 𝘠𝘦𝘢𝘳 𝘙𝘦𝘴𝘦𝘵 𝘉𝘦𝘨𝘪𝘯𝘴 𝘞𝘪𝘵𝘩 𝘙𝘦𝘨𝘶𝘭𝘢𝘵𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘕𝘦𝘳𝘷𝘰𝘶𝘴 𝘚𝘺𝘴𝘵𝘦𝘮

Your stress isn’t a flaw — it’s your body trying to keep you alive. In January, the nervous system often hits “overloaded” after weeks of rushing, planning, traveling, and giving.
At ANVIL, we slow everything down. Breath becomes an anchor. Touch becomes a reminder: You are safe.
This year, start with gentleness.

Release Before You Renew

Before you step into a new year, release what your body doesn’t need to carry forward:

✨ Shoulder tension from old responsibilities
✨ Hip tightness from sitting in stress
✨ Neck pain from overthinking
✨ Emotional weight you never named
✨ Exhaustion you quietly pushed through

Let ANVIL help you clear space
— so the new year has room to arrive.

Book your “Release to Renew” session before January.

The Year You Get Your Body Back

What if 2026 is the year you wake up without hurting?
The year movement feels free again?
The year you feel strong, grounded, and capable?

You don’t need resolutions.
You need restoration.
ANVIL is where that restoration begins —
slowly, gently, session by session, breath by breath.

Start your new year with a session that sets the tone for the whole year.

Winter Body Check-In

Pause.
Where are you holding winter?

Your jaw?
Your shoulders?
Your low back?
Your breath?

Your body is a storyteller —
Sometimes it just needs a quiet room and skilled hands to be heard.

Book your Winter Check-In Session and start listening inward again.

You Deserve to Feel Good Again

Read this slowly:
You deserve to feel good again.

Not just for the holidays.
Not just when things calm down.
Not just once a year…

But daily.
Deeply.
Consistently.

ANVIL exists to help you reclaim that ease —
through skilled touch, intuitive listening, and nervous-system-centered care.

This season, permit yourself to receive.

Start 2026 with a session that restores your capacity.

12/23/2025

Rest as Medicine

During the holiday rush, rest can feel “unproductive.”
But here’s the truth:

Rest is how your body repairs.
Rest is how your nervous system stabilizes.
Rest is how you stay present with the people you love.

At ANVIL, we treat rest like medicine—
administered through skilled hands, warm stones, fascia work, and presence.

Your body doesn’t need more doing.
It needs more being.

Permit yourself to rest. Schedule your session.

Holiday Burnout Is Real

If you’re exhausted before Christmas even arrives, you’re not alone.
Your body is whispering:
“Please slow down. Let me catch up to your life.”

A session at ANVIL isn’t just for your muscles —
It’s for the part of you that hasn’t sat still in weeks.

Let us help you unwind what the season winds up.
Book your “Holiday Unwind Session”— spots fill quickly this week.
