Cody is a certified personal trainer through ACE with extensive experience working with clients of all ages and fitness levels. His approach is well-rounded and holistic—centered on helping individuals reach their goals while genuinely enjoying the process.

A mover at heart, Cody began weight training in high school while immersed in dance and theatre, seeking both personal growth and a sense of community. That passion for movement has only grown. From yoga and running to hiking, inline skating, and even tree climbing, Cody brings joy and curiosity to every form of movement. In 2018, he earned his B.F.A. in Musical Theatre, solidifying his lifelong connection to the body in motion.

Originally from Wisconsin, Cody has called Chicago home for over 13 years (with a brief detour performing at Walt Disney World). Outside the studio, he’s an avid gardener, camper, and environmental advocate who’s always happiest outdoors.
