About Edwin

Hi, I’m Edwin, a certified personal trainer based in Lakeview, Chicago, proudly working out of the Falcon Training Facility. I’ve been independently training clients since 2020, and I’m certified by the American Council on Exercise (ACE).


With a background as a competitive athlete and a strong foundation in strength and conditioning, I specialize in teaching power lifting principals—bench press, squat, and deadlift—with a focus on proper technique, progressive overload, and long-term performance. Whether you’re looking to build serious strength or master the fundamentals, I’m here to help you train with purpose and confidence.


My approach also includes hypertrophy-focused training to build lean muscle and support overall physical development, as well as plyometric and athletic-style movements to keep your body explosive, mobile, and resilient. I believe in training not just for strength, but for power, movement, and longevity.


My mission is to help you become your strongest, most capable self—through smart, effective, and sustainable training.


My favorite client story

My favorite client story has been when I was working with my fraternity brother. He reached out to me and told me he was ready to get serious. Ever since then we started working together and the rest is history. He lost 60 pounds, and his whole demeanor changed. He ended up chasing a career in fitness soon after.

Edwin is an outstanding personal trainer that matches his passion equally with his nutritional expertise. When you hire Edwin, you’re not just hiring a trainer, but you’re hiring accountability. He makes his training sessions informative, and guides you on how to do your workouts efficiently while pushing you. He legitimately made me believe in myself.

Worked with Edwin for about a month. We were cut short due to COVID-19. During our time, Edwin provided excellent guidance and motivation before, during and after every workout. Within the first 2 weeks, I noticed improvement in my endurance and strength. Pace for me was key as all previous personal trainers left me nauseous from pushing me way beyond my limits. That was not the case with Edwin.

Edwin is really professional at what he does best in the fitness scene. During our consultation, Edwin wanted me to understand that he values our coach to trainer relationship. Therefore, he would do daily check ins to motivate me to keep me on track with the fitness plan he have for me. Edwin is super dedicated to help me achieve my goals. I can confidently say that Edwin has helped me achieved a different lifestyle and aspect in the fitness world. There's much more where I want to be at and I'm a firm believer Edwin can help me achieve each milestone.

Edwin is AMAZING! I’ve seen SO much progress so far. On top of knowing exactly what to do to get to my goal, he explains all of the exercises really well and makes sure that I’m doing them right. He’s also really funny, which makes the workout feel like it’s going by so quickly. Highly recommend !!!!

It would take me a long time to write out the countless benefits I’ve noticed since I’ve started training with Edwin. But, to keep it simple, I’ll highlight my top three: my confidence (for the first time in my life I actually feel strong), my mental toughness (I have been able to push myself further in all areas of my life now that I know my potential), my overall happiness (this is by far the most abundance I have ever felt and I look forward to each day in a way I never did before). No matter what my mood is going into a session, I always leave motivated and with a smile. There is no doubt Edwin has changed my life and I am forever grateful our paths crossed!

A comfortable, welcoming experience. The process of choosing a trainer was smooth and easy, and Edwin is delightful to work with. I’m very excited about my journey toward better fitness.
