Michelle Adams M.S.
Fitness Director & Wellness Coach

Diagnosed with Type I diabetes at age 4, Adams has utilized exercise as a tool for managing her diabetes throughout her life.  From playing softball and cheerleading as a child and teen to competing in triathlons, cycling, running, skiing and adventure racing as an adult, Adams is a firm believer that diabetic athletes can cross the finish line just as strong as their non-diabetic competitors. 

As an exercise physiologist, Adams specializes in developing fitness programs for individuals with various chronic illnesses and has special expertise in diabetes and exercise.  Adams is the Fitness Director at Palos Health & Fitness Center, a medically-based wellness center in Orland Park, IL, and an instructor for the National Personal Training Institute in Chicago, IL.  She is a national speaker in diabetes and exercise.
