Mike Garza
Fitness Trainer
My name is Mike Garza. I am a personal trainer at Fitness Evolution Strength and Conditioning in St. John, Indiana. I have been a certified personal trainer since 2022 through the American Council on Exercise (ACE).
​
I've been involved in fitness for most of my life, having been a former youth wrestler and starting as young as 14 years old lifting with my own personal trainer at the time to help me with my sport. After my days as an athlete came to an end, I had to find a new motivation to stay in shape which was extremely difficult and naturally, like any washed up athlete, I got out of shape. I always had a sports driven motive to work out, so to do it on my own I found challenging and frustrating at first. But after years of tireless hours of ups and downs, I eventually fell in love with the gym. My new motivation this time: self improvement and overall health.
​
One of the main reasons I chose to pursue a career in personal training was to help people chase that similar feeling of accomplishment and confidence felt after I walked out the gym each day. Don't get me wrong, working out is hard! Which is where I come in. My job is to make fitness fun, motivate each and every client so they can reach their goals and hopefully help them adopt a healthy and active lifestyle.
​
Aside from being a personal trainer, I am also the assistant varsity wrestling coach for Lake Central High School since 2017.
