Michael Alvarado – Hybrid Personal Trainer
My fitness journey began in middle school when I decided to take basketball more seriously. I was fortunate enough to work with a coach who was determined to see me succeed on and off the court. For years, we worked together practicing hoop drills, weight training, conditioning, and challenging my overall physical and mental health. The work ethic I developed during those years stayed with me and formed a basis for many of my future endeavors.
When I became a coach in 2015, my passion for fitness and helping others started to take shape. I was fortunate to start my training career at a club that had a team of knowledgeable, successful trainers whom I was able to shadow and learn from which really set a high standard for my training. As time went on, I found myself transferring from club to club throughout California, further enhancing my skill sets and most importantly meeting passionate people in fitness along the way.
In 2017 I ruptured my patella tendon during a freak accident that really put me through some challenges. I not only had to re-learn how to walk, but I also hired some trainers to help me progressively heal safely and effectively. I knew that I could use this opportunity to learn from more experienced coaches and, at the same time, gain insight into what it’s like to be a client. I took all this in along the way whether it was with my physical therapist or one of my two coaches. I recovered from that injury with a better understanding of what it takes to improve mobility, regeneration, addressing overactive/underactive issues, posture, balance, having the right mind set, and much more.
To this day, I consider myself a student of fitness and I do my best to enlighten myself and my clients on these topics. If you think training with me may be for you, I ask that you come with an open mind and a strong dedication to seeing realistic results in more ways than one. I am looking forward to meeting you!
