Mychael Green
Lead Strength Coach at IKAIKA Personal Fitness

Mychal Green is a Certified Personal Trainer, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Corrective Exercise Specialist, and Nutrition Coach certified through the International Sports Sciences Association. He joined the IKAIKA Personal Fitness team in Durham, NC in April 2024. Mychal’s passion for fitness was built through a lifetime of competitive sport. He competed in soccer, baseball, track and field, and basketball from a young age before earning a basketball scholarship to Ohio University after two seasons at Ohlone College in Northern California.

His collegiate career culminated in a conference tournament victory and a March Madness appearance before launching a nine-year professional basketball career that took him to Germany, New Zealand, Luxembourg, Iceland, and the United Kingdom. When his playing career ended Mychal discovered a new calling. Coaching people toward the strongest, healthiest version of themselves. That transition from elite athlete to personal trainer in Durham, NC gave Mychal something most coaches never develop.

He knows what it feels like to be pushed beyond what you thought was possible. He knows what real discipline looks like from the inside. And he knows how to translate that experience into a coaching style that meets every client exactly where they are. At IKAIKA Mychal specializes in strength training, corrective exercise, and nutrition coaching for adults who want to build lasting health. His approach is patient, structured, and rooted in the same IKAIKA Strength Protocol for Health that has helped hundreds of Durham, NC adults improve their strength, energy, and health numbers. Whether you are picking up a barbell for the first time or working through a plateau, Mychal brings the same standard of excellence to every session that carried him through nine years of professional sport.
