Michael J. Padua Jr., a personal trainer in Chicago, helps busy professionals build strength, confidence, and long-term health through personalized, results-driven training.  Since 2004, Mike has coached clients using smart, science-backed programming that fits real life—demanding schedules, high stress, and everything in between.  His approach blends strength training, mobility work, and sustainable routines that support energy, performance, and longevity.  Whether your goal is to get stronger, move better, lose body fat, or simply feel like yourself again, Michael tailors each plan to your lifestyle so the results last.

Michael J. Padua, Jr.

Since 2004, I’ve coached busy professionals to feel strong, capable, and in control of their body again.  My coaching is built for real life—tight schedules, high stress, travel, long workdays—without the “live in the gym” mentality.

You’ll get a customized plan that blends strength training, conditioning, mobility, and simple habit coaching so you build confidence, look better, move better, and stay resilient for the long run.  Every session has a purpose. Every phase has a progression. And you’ll always know why you’re doing what you’re doing. (Michael’s Resume).
