Mario McDonald
Hi, I’m Mario McDonald, the founder of Train to Move. I’m a former NCAA All-American swimmer and passionate movement coach with a Master’s degree in Kinesiology from The Ohio State University.
After years of competing, coaching, and studying human performance, I created Train to Move to help people cut through the noise and train with real purpose. Whether you're just starting out or looking to get back on track, I meet you where you are—with customized programming, expert guidance, and no fluff.
I’ve coached athletes, general fitness clients, and complete beginners. What they all had in common? A desire to move better, feel stronger, and stay consistent—without guesswork or gimmicks.
This platform is for anyone who wants smart, efficient training designed by someone who’s lived it, studied it, and genuinely cares about your progress.
