Helping You Build Strength, Resilience, and a Sustainable Path to Wellness

At Resilient Body, we believe that true health isn’t found in quick fixes, trendy programs, or one-size-fits-all solutions. It’s about understanding your body, simplifying the noise, and building a foundation of sustainable habits that support you for a lifetime.

We live in a world of overwhelming choices, conflicting advice, and a culture that prioritizes convenience over well-being. It’s easy to get lost in complexity, swayed by dogma, or discouraged by unrealistic expectations. But your path to health is uniquely yours—and finding what truly works for you is what we do best.

Our Approach

Resilient Body takes an integrated, holistic approach to health and fitness by combining:
• Individualized wellness plans
• Scalable, progressive fitness programming
• Strength and conditioning training
• Habit-based coaching and behavioral change strategies

By treating the body as a unified system and focusing on the fundamentals done consistently well, we’ve helped countless individuals transform their lives—creating lasting change that extends far beyond the gym.

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.

    Micah's awesomeness cannot be understated. He is so present for his clients; he really worked with me to explore what I was doing to hold myself back, how I could look at things differently, suggesting different ways to approach challenges…and wellness choices necessary to begin changing my body composition and develop long term habits to support my overall wellness.

  • Alice J - Santa Rosa, CA

    Working out at this gym is amazing! I started seeing the physical changes I had always wanted. I gained muscle, loss excess fat, felt energized, took healthy risks, loved the food I was eating, and surpassed numerous goals that I set for myself.

  • Michael Y - Santa Rosa, CA

    At the end of 2023, I had a physical-mid-life crisis. I was in my late 40’s and all of my bloodwork was double/triple the normal range. I was also taking three different medications to control my pre-diabetes, high cholesterol, and high blood pressure. I had debilitating back pain and i could not run up a flight of stairs to play with my children. I knew i had to make some changes. Thats when i came to Resilient Body to work with Micah.

    Micah and Joey and Jess make up a team of knowledgeable professional trainers/coaches to help you reach your goals in every aspect of your physical growth and potential. I work with Micah the most, and through his vast knowledge and experience, as well as his patience and encouragement, i have not only grown physically, but i am stronger and more fit mentally as well!

    I am happy to announce that after one year of training at Resilient Body, I am a changed person. I look and feel strong. My back pain is gone. I have the energy to play with my kids after work. And, i am off of all my medications. I am proud of my work, and Micah is also. And thats what makes this worth while.

    If you’re thinking of working with a trainer (and i have tried to work with many in the past), and you want to change your life, you definitely need to come try out Resilient Body.

  • Iris J - Santa Rosa, CA

    I am so glad I found this place! I'm a Crossfit athlete who had a knee replacement a year and a half ago. I had a difficult surgery and haven't been able to find good position again at the gym. After taking a four week class at Resilient Body I was able to not only improve my squat technique, but I was also able to find my hollow and tuck positions again, making kipping chest to bar pull ups and hand stand push-ups completely achievable again! If you are an athlete looking to return from injury, this is the place to go! The coaches are positive and inspiring. It's a joy to work with them!

  • Simon F - Santa Rosa, CA

    Micah was incredibly helpful in helping me to rehabilitate from a back injury, as well as focus on movements to create resiliency from future injury. Trainers are knowledgable, approachable and a pleasure to work with. I really appreciate the focus on building physical capacity for the long term enjoyment of the activities that are important! Highly recommended!

  • Jenna M - Santa Rosa, CA

    Joey is very knowledgeable and skilled. I was experiencing some pain and tightness that I could not treat on my own from sports injury. Joey was able to pinpoint where the pain originated and worked with me to extend my range of motion which improved my mobility and reduced pain so I can work out safely again. Thanks Joey!

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.
