My name is Parker Wood, and I’m excited to join the team here at Chicago Athletic Clubs. I’ve always had a passion for fitness and athletics, which led me to compete in both Baseball and Collegiate Rowing—two sports that taught me the value of discipline, resilience, and teamwork.
During my time in college, I was diagnosed with pericarditis, a heart condition that challenged me both physically and mentally. That experience gave me a deeper understanding of how important it is to listen to your body and train smart. Now, I bring that same mindset into this gym—balancing intensity with intention and helping others reach their goals no matter where they’re starting from.
