What Makes Our Programs Unique?
One of the value
added aspects to USA Elite Trainers is the benefits that our
founder, CJ, has been able to bring to the programs and
management methods and philosophies from his fitness career
and training.
CJ has taken his best practices –winning
philosophies, standards of training, methods of diets,
methods that make workouts effective, examples of exercises,
how to combine them, how many reps, and how many sets- and
created a centralized database. CJ has instructed other
trainers on how to do use the information in order to devise
for people programs to meet their fitness goals. Each one of
our trainers has to follow a certain consistency in their
training practices, as our clients have to follow a certain
consistency with their workout programs.
As a pro
bodybuilder, CJ follows certain principles such as proper
nutrition, proper supplementation, drug-free lifestyle with
the right amount of cardio and right amount of weights.
Being able to build a database from his programs, CJ has
created for clients a method that can be shared by other
trainers. USA Elite Trainers uses a centralized database
designed by CJ that gives each of the trainers a tool to
make that same quality product for each and every
individual. We expedite everyone’s results.
In addition to access to a customized
database, USA Elite Trainers follow a fundamental workout
style – how many sets to do, how many reps to do, what kind
of exercise- so the client gets a quality workout from a
professional that knows how much, when and why to everything
that makes people achieve results.
Yes, each person can do cardio and weights
at the gym, but we provide motivational tools and a solid,
compound structure for each person that will net better
results faster, be more effective and breed an environment
of success. Some training routines will not net you the same
results. The difference in having a professional trainer, a
USA Elite Trainer!
About Our
Founder, Chad "Cj" Havunen, WNBF Pro

Competition Photos
In 2003, Cj competed in his first Natural Body Building competition, the NASF Old Dominion Open and won the novice class. During his intense training and contest preparation he developed a desire to share what he had learned about weight loss and muscular development by becoming an ISSA Certified Personal Trainer.
The following year, in 2004, he started working as a freelance trainer at Extreme Muscle in Hampton, VA. While he was training others to obtain their goals of weight loss and muscle gains, he simultaneously competed in three Body Building shows in 2004. Throe these successful and un successful training programs, he was able to excel with what worked and improve on the ways that didn’t. Cj ended 2004 with an overall championship in the NASF Old dominion open.
In 2005 Cj made the transition to a larger facility, Gold’s Gym in Newport News, VA. Cj competed in three shows this year as well. Cj continued to compete in shows deemed “Natural”, like the NPC East Coast Tournament of champions where he won the Overall Champion beating out big IFBB names like Brandon Curry. After competing in the 2005 NPC Nationals and seeing that not all competitors where drug tested, Cj decided to compete in strictly drug tested shows such as INBF, OCB and NPA to name a few, from then on.
In 2006, Cj moved to Virginia Beach and began working as a freelance trainer out of local gyms. He continued his bodybuilding career by competing in several other nationally recognized competitions. Also in 2006 Cj formed a friendship and a sponsorship with the owner of Discount Supplements Direct. The formation of this alliance and his participation in competitions continued through 2007 and beyond. In 2007, after winning the overall at the INBF United States Bodybuilding Championships, Cj earned the prestigious title as a WNBF Pro. (The World Natural Bodybuilding Federation is the premier professional drug tested bodybuilding federation in the world.)
In late summer 2007, Cj joined the Anytime Fitness team in Virginia Beach and Chesapeake. This is where he truly found a “home-base” to begin his dream of forming a Personal Training Studio. After free lancing and having great client success, Cj went on to form USA Elite Trainers LLC. A personal training company providing a professional training service to all members of Anytime Fitness.
During this period Cj began laying a foundation with USA Elite Trainers of taking personal training to a new level by implementing new training standards guided with his vision of how to help clients achieve their goals. Together with Anytime Fitness, a 12 week weight loss program “ the Total Body Challenge” was formed along with other programs such as the Total Body Boot Camp.
Today, USA Elite Trainers is based out of four Anytime Fitness’s and is continuing to grow. USA Elite Trainers has ten trainers and hundreds of success stories. They have helped people with weight loss of up to 160 lbs or to help men and women prepare for bodybuilding contests and figure shows. Cj has competed in a multiple of shows during this time as well. Taking the INBF Atlantic Coast championship overall and placing eighth in 2009 WNBF World Championships in NYC.
Cj continues to live a drug free bodybuilding lifestyle and is an advocate of fitness and healthy living. Cj also this constructed a competition preparation DVD and booklet and a Natural Body Transformation DVD series to further help instruct those wishing to either take fitness to a new level, of just begin to embark on their fitness journey.
In 2010 Cj formed another division of this fitness attitude with Naturalbodyz.com.
Natural Bodyz is a branch of USA Elite Trainers, to help give expression to our core beliefs, DO IT NATURAL! USA Elite Trainers also believes that the ideal way to live is through Natural Body building. Whether fitness elite, or beginner, working on muscular tone and shape can be and should be done naturally.
Chad Havunen’s Competition History
Cj’s has competed in 19 bodybuilding shows to this date. Cj has four overall championships, both in NPC, NASF and INBF. After turning pro in 2007 in the WNBF, Cj has competed in two pro shows. During this time, Cj continually diets up to around 240-260 in off season, continually eating larger portions sizes for size and strength. Each year Cj diets down for contest in 12-16 week to his contest weight of 197-202, with a 3-4% body fat. This cycle has been perfected by using multiple ways to diet, and after finding some of the best and most effective methods and even improving on them; they have become a professional secret. The delicate balance of proper nutrition, what, when and how much, complemented with supplementation, what to take, when and how to add and subtract has taken ordinary diet philosophies to the bodybuilding nature to a Professional level. That coupled with cardio ideals and top notch workout philosophies has lead CJ to year round advancements in lean muscle and it can do the same for you.
