Malachy Okeke

Malachy developed his passion for training while he was in college. As an undergraduate at University of Illinois Chicago, Malachy discovered an affinity for Kinesiology through his studies and while playing college soccer. After many years of playing high school and college sports, Malachy took his drive for success off the field and into the weight room. Starting to train with a friend, Malachy noticed his natural talent for coaching and began his transformation into a professional Personal Trainer. Fostering a passionate drive to help others, Malachy volunteered at assorted physical therapy clinics thoughout college, which included Maximum Rehabiltation Services and Accelerated Rehabilitation Centers. After graduating with his B.S., Malachy worked at Athletico Physical Therpay Clinic as a Rehabilitation Aide also at LA Fitness as a Personal Trainer. Currently, Malachy is excited and looking forward to improving clients’ fitness and overall wellbeing as a freelance trainer.

As a health leader, it's my goal to turn my client into an health leader as well. Prior to becoming a trainer, I was an athlete and my health leaders were my coaches. They guided me to get in the best shape to be able to perform at the given sport.

Achieving your goals is the highest priority for me. With this in mind, I will be changing and adapting the program as your body adapts to it. My mission is to provide a product that will give you a newer, fitter version of yourself! We will be mapping out the time you need to achieve these goals. My programs will utilize all modalities of training from body weight to resistance training techniques with different methods like circuit training, interval training, and more! I add cardio programming, core stability, flexibility and mobility sessions and recovery strategies to refresh the body and mind after each training session.

Here’s a success story from my former client, Jackie: Malachy is a great trainer! There was not a session where I didn’t feel like I was pushed to my limit. He noticed when I was actually giving it my all and when I was being lazy. I learned new exercises and have implemented them into my workouts on days I wasn’t working out with him. I definitely recommend him as a trainer. He implements various exercises into your routine that will give you the results you’re looking for. During my time with him I saw an improvement in my endurance and strength. You won’t regret working out with Malachy. Be ready to sweat!!!

I like to watch documentaries, sports games, and play video games. I also host social events.
