Build Muscle, Move Pain-Free, and Train Hard—Without Wrecking Your Joints.

I help active professionals and former athletes build strength, muscle, and mobility with science-backed training—so they can train hard, stay pain-free, and feel great for life.

Why Train With Me?

Most workouts either leave you stiff, achy, and overtrained—or so watered down that they’re boring and ineffective.
At Get Strong With Matt, I take a different approach.

✔️ Train Smart, Not Soft—Build muscle and strength without breaking down your body.
✔️ Move Pain-Free—Bulletproof your knees, back, and shoulders using ATG & mobility drills.
✔️ Stay Athletic for Life—Train hard with fun, intensity-driven methods while protecting your joints.

💪 This isn’t just about “getting fit”—it’s about looking strong, moving better, and feeling amazing in your body.

Who This is For

This training is for you if you’re:

✔️ An active professional who wants to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free for life.
✔️ A former athlete who still loves to train hard—but hates feeling stiff, tight, or beat up.
✔️ A lifter who wants to build muscle, push intensity, and use fun training methods without joint pain.
✔️ Tired of workouts that burn you out instead of making you stronger.

🔥 If you want to build muscle, move freely, and train pain-free—without wasting time on ineffective programs—you’re in the right place.

"One of the best investments..."

Matt has been training me for over two years and it's one of the best investments to my well-being that I've ever made. . In addition to developing a training regimen that is ambitious while suiting my needs, he teaches the rationale behind the various movements and exercises. Matt's workouts challenge one to improve gradually and in a sustainable manner that cater to one's goals. Always approachable, Matt helps set realistic expectations, and develops a plan to achieve them while teaching about health and the human body. Matt is a wealth of knowledge and constantly seeking to improve his craft. I joke that he's the sensei, but it's true, he's guided me on a path to strength and health while providing a great environment to work in.

"Huge improvement in ROM, flexibility, strength, and endurance levels."

I have been training with Matt for about 1½ years. He actually made quite a first impression. He was very professional and thorough in his assessment…needing to understand my baseline before training. I made him aware I had sustained several injuries to my neck, shoulder, upper back, and both wrists. He took the time to listen to what my fitness goals were and he knew what steps to take to get me there. I really enjoyed every single session with Matt. He was consistent in explaining the rationale behind every exercise that we do. He really motivated me and pushed me to do my very best. One thing was certain…since working with Matt I have seen a huge improvement in my ROM, flexibility, strength, and endurance levels. For those of you who are looking for a personal trainer, I would highly recommend Matt Mlakar. He is a true fitness expert who owns his craft! You won’t regret it.
