Ayden Battin

Personal Trainer Carmel
B.S. Kinesiology

I grew up in Greencastle, Indiana, a small rural town where fitness wasn't exactly a priority. My introduction to the weight room came through YouTube, watching bodybuilders with my brothers. What started as curiosity turned into a deep passion, and that passion eventually became a career built around helping others transform their physique, performance, and overall health.

I bring a rare combination of real-world experience and academic depth to every client relationship. My background spans collegiate athletics, bodybuilding coaching, research with Depauw's kinesiology department, and general fitness, giving me the tools to meet you wherever you are and build a clear path to where you want to be. My approach is evidence-based and feedback-driven, meaning your program isn't static, it evolves with you.

DePauw's Kinesiology program gave me a strong foundation in exercise science and human physiology, and I'm currently pursuing my master's degree in Exercise Science to keep pushing that knowledge further. Whether your goal is building a competition-ready physique or performing at your peak, or being able to carry groceries without lower back pain, I'm confident we can get you there.

Outside of the gym, I'm traveling whenever I can, playing guitar, and exploring new places with my girlfriend and our dog, Jinx. I'm also an amateur bodybuilder who spends every minute in the gym that I possibly can.
