About Daniel OBrien

I am a passionate coach, trainer, and friend.

Through my pursuit to play pro baseball I have become knowledgeable in the field of personal training.
For 12 years I trained with my own personal trainer. I learned and demonstrated effective strength and conditioning exercises. After college baseball, I pursued working in a school while I grew my private baseball lessons up to 56 hours a week. Since moving to Chicago in 2018, I have been NASM Personal Training Certified x2 and am currently in the process of getting my Qi Gong- Teacher Training Certification and Yoga 200 Certification. I have worked for 4 major gyms; River North Gym, LifeStart Corporate Fitness, LA Fitness and Esporta. I taught weekly group fitness classes and held private sessions.

For 9 summers, I have worked for The Brewers Baseball Academy. working with kids 6-14yo.

Not only do I have experience with young athletes, I have experience with obese elderly and the general adult population.

Training Philosophy

Connection with our heart mind and body to know where to focus.

Training Professionally Since

Typical Training Session

High intensity interval training; we will raise the heart rate then practice staying calm and lowering it through breathing techniques. The term is ” Loose, relaxed, released” and you can never be enough. We must work out and work in.

Baseball sessions can include pitching, throwing, fielding, on field hitting, cage hitting, tee work, ground balls etc.

I teach qi gong, yoga, bmx biking, skateboarding, rollerblading/ ice hockey, paintballing, juggling, rock climbing, running, swimming, tennis and love trees for pull up bars.

Client success story

I can transform a struggling little leaguer into a confident smiling power hitter. I am excellent with kids of all ages. I have years experience, in and out of the schools, working with big highly autistic boys. I have helped high schoolers make their varsity and helped 20 middle aged women stay fit 9×2 a week) for over a year.
My proudest moment was teaching Grandma Debra (80 yo) how to breath correctly. Her eyes brightened and her family members were ecstatic at her new alertness and energy.

Hobbies

Parkour at the skatparks, swinging poi balls at electric music festivals, paintballing, biking with dogs
