Meet your trainer.

Hi! I'm Matt Parente (he/him/his), a personal trainer and coach in Dayton, Ohio dedicated to helping folks of all ages, sizes, & fitness levels feel confident moving their body.

I specialize in strength training for people who don't typically feel at home in traditional gyms. For busy parents balancing countless demands. For people who have yet to find a trainer that caters to them and customizes their regimen throughout all of life's ups and downs.

My work is rooted in the belief that a strong mind and body are vital to navigating it all. Empathy is my superpower and along with practical strategies, and a deep respect for each client's unique journey, it is my goal to empower you to train in ways that feel authentic, sustainable, and liberating.

Mission & Values

Matt Parente Fitness is founded on and devoted to creating and supporting brave and inclusive environments for all bodies to move, strengthen, rest and heal.

I believe that fitness and the journey towards health and wellness should be encouraged, accessible, and adaptive to all people regardless of their gender, size, age, ethnicity or ability.
