Meet Matt Mlakar
I’m Matt Mlakar, a strength coach, movement specialist, and pain-free performance expert dedicated to helping people like you train hard while staying mobile and injury-free.
For over 10 years, I’ve worked with busy professionals, former athletes, and dedicated lifters who want to build muscle and strength—but without the joint pain that traditional training often causes. I specialize in a science-backed approach that combines strength, mobility, and smart training techniques to keep you progressing for years to come.
My Training Philosophy: Strength That Lasts
Most lifters face a frustrating choice:
❌ Train hard, but risk injuries and stiff joints
❌ Do “safe” workouts, but lose intensity and muscle growth
I believe you shouldn’t have to choose between building muscle and staying pain-free.
My training approach is built on three key principles:
✅ Pain-Free Strength – Bulletproof your knees, back, and shoulders while still training hard.
✅ Athletic Longevity – Move better, feel better, and lift without fear of injury.
✅ Smart Intensity – Push limits with fun, effective techniques that build strength without unnecessary wear and tear.
This isn’t just about looking fit—it’s about training for life.
Who I Work With
🔥 Active professionals who want to stay strong, mobile, and pain-free.
🔥 Former athletes who still love to train hard but need a smarter approach.
🔥 Lifters who want to build muscle, improve mobility, and stay injury-free.
If you’ve ever thought: ➡️ “I love lifting, but my joints feel wrecked.”
➡️ “I want to get strong without getting stiff.”
➡️ “I need a training plan that works for both muscle and mobility.”
…then you’re in the right place.
