Meet Micah Kradin | Founder of Resilient Body

I founded Resilient Body in 2020 after years as both an athlete and a coach, recognizing that our bodies are our most valuable asset. My passion is guiding people to discover their innate strengths and resilience—helping them cut through the noise and reconnect with what truly makes them feel strong, healthy, and fulfilled.

I specialize in a holistic, education-based approach to fitness, blending:
✔ Mixed-modal strength and conditioning
✔ Habit-based coaching focused on long-term behavior change
✔ Self-directed exploration, so you can confidently adjust and sustain your progress

My background is in health psychology and cognitive neuroscience, with a B.S. in Psychology and Biology from UC Davis. While I initially pursued a Ph.D., I realized my true passion was working directly with people, helping them understand the mind-body connection and develop practical strategies for lifelong well-being.

As a lifelong athlete, I’ve competed in everything from gymnastics and skateboarding to Hawaiian long-distance outrigger canoe racing, triathlons, martial arts, rock climbing, CrossFit, and weightlifting. I’ve also experienced my share of setbacks—including injuries, addiction, depression, and poor nutrition—giving me a deeper understanding of what it takes to overcome obstacles and build true resilience.

Your Journey, Your Way

Resilient Body isn’t about grinding for a short-term transformation—it’s about building a system that works for you and lasts a lifetime. We help you create a sustainable, self-directed approach to health and fitness—one that adapts, evolves, and empowers you to thrive.

FAQs

  • Manual therapy is a specialized form of skilled physical treatment that involves hands-on techniques to assess, treat, and manage various musculoskeletal conditions. The primary goal of manual therapy is to improve mobility, reduce pain, and enhance overall function. In some cases we combine this passive treatment with a more active one for best results.

  • There are numerous ways that a personal trainer can help you improve your overall health and fitness; and reach specific wellness goals. We offer expertise and knowledge in functional movement (yes- we know most movement can be seen as functional in some way, but we like to take you beyond what you thought was possible). We use exercise science, anatomy, and nutrition, and behavior change psychology techniques all of which can be valuable for designing effective and balanced wellness plans.

  • Holistic health coaching is a comprehensive approach to wellness that focuses on the overall well-being of an individual (YOU! and what makes you unique), considering physical, mental, emotional, spiritual aspects, and more. The aim is to promote balance and harmony in all areas of life to achieve optimal health and vitality. We like to include many areas beyond just movement and nutrition since there is more to optimal health than just those two.

  • We are personal trainers who also coach small groups. A personal fitness trainer is an individual who provides one-on-one guidance, personalized workout programs, and nutritional advice to clients, focusing on specific goals and needs. Trainers work closely with clients to monitor progress and make adjustments accordingly. At Resilient Body, we form close relationships with clients and try to get to know what really matters most to you so we can make sure to help you discover your healthiest version of you.
