A little bit about me
Hi! I'm Matt Pedersen, personal trainer and co-founder of Pedersen Trainer Mobile Gym. I'm married to my best friend Mila (who encouraged and helped me open this business) and we have a precious 2yo baby girl named Celina. Born and raised in Indianapolis, I grew up very active and involved with sports and exercise. Tennis was my passion in high school and when I graduated, I received a scholarship and played varsity tennis at Indiana Wesleyan University, where I received my bachelor's degree in Exercise Science. Soon after graduating, I was diagnosed with Crohn's Disease in 2012. That was a year of pain and suffering and yet, after finding the right treatment, I pushed myself to go back to training and finished my first marathon that same year! In 2014 I received my Master's in Sports Performance at Ball State University where I coached the girls cross-country team. My love for running continued to grow and after numerous 50- and 100-mile races, in 2017 I achieved something I had never dreamed of: I ran 240 miles under 100 hours! I have now completed three races over 200+ miles, and I continue to find ways to discover what my body is capable of. As crazy as those numbers sound, once you know how to best train your body and mind you too will be able to do things you never imagined you could! Whether you want to lose 10 pounds or 100, run your first 5k or your first marathon, or if you simply just want to sleep better and have more energy; whatever your goals are I know I can help you get to the finish line, and I promise I will make it fun!

"Before I started working out with Matt I lacked the athleticism to play basketball and the skill level I dreamed to be at. Within the first 6 months of training with him, my vertical increased by six inches and my muscle strength grew tremendously. Now that I am Division 1 college basketball player, it is hard to simulate game conditioning, strength and workload, but with Matt's training techniques and workout plans, I believe my sessions separate me from my competitors. Matt has not only helped me reach my potential as an athlete, but has taught me lessons throughout my five years of training that will stay with me forever. When you train with Matt, you will laugh, have fun, but most importantly, work your butt off!"

"Matt has been an exceptional trainer! Before working out with him I was too skinny and could barely lift any weight but after we started training I started to gain a lot of muscle and that improved my sports performance. Not only is he a great trainer, he is also a great person!"

"We have been training with Matt since the pandemic started. At first we did online Facetime sessions and he was able to keep us engaged and the kids had fun every time. In July Matt started coming to the house and now the kids can safely train in the backyard and my husband still has online sessions since he needs more flexibility because of his busy work schedule. Matt is reliable, fun, and he can easily connect with teenagers. Definitely recommend for those looking for a trainer for the whole family!"

"I have been working with Matt for over 5 years. For the past months, my wife has joined our sessions and Matt has been training us simultaneously. Matt is very dedicated to helping his clients reach their goals regardless of their current level of fitness. There are areas where my wife is stronger and areas I am and Matt always takes this into consideration and has us modify so that the workout pushes us both to our limits and usually a bit beyond! We mainly focus on strength and mobility as those are our goals - in addition to helping lose some weight. As always Matt continues to push us just enough and always with encouraging words and anecdotes that help us enjoy the sessions!"
