Personal Trainer in Oak Park, IL
For men over 30, and for dads in a hard season. Training, food and mindset, with faith if you want it, in Oak Park and online.
How training in Oak Park works
I come to you. We train in your home or garage gym, or at your gym as my guest where your gym allows it. Depending on where you are in Oak Park, a travel fee may apply, and I quote it before we start. Online coaching works anywhere.
Training for an Oak Park race
Oak Park runs good races: the Frank Lloyd Wright Races, a 10K and a 5K that start and finish near Oak Park and River Forest High School; the Good Life Race 5K on April 25, 2027; and the St. Giles Turkey Trot 5K on Thanksgiving morning. I run distance too (half marathon 2:00:38, 10K 49:09), and I’ll build your plan around the race you pick.
Oak Park questions
Do you train clients in Oak Park?
Yes. In your home or garage gym, at your gym as my guest where it’s allowed, or online. A travel fee may apply for longer drives, quoted up front.
Can you get me ready for the Frank Lloyd Wright Races?
Yes. Tell me the distance and your race goal, and I’ll build the weeks from now to race day around your schedule.
Do you train in Oak Park’s parks?
No. The Park District of Oak Park doesn’t allow private instruction in its parks without its approval, so we train at your home, at your gym or online.

Before you start
Talk to your doctor before starting a new exercise program. Eating guidance here is general wellness advice, not medical nutrition therapy; if you have a medical condition, follow your doctor or a licensed dietitian. Results depend on the person, the plan and the work you put in.
This is coaching, not counseling or therapy. If you are in crisis, call or text 988.
