Shuichi Take, one of Miami’s most sought-after personal trainers, possesses a positive aura and energy that is as unique as his Japanese/Cuban background. Originally from Washington D.C., Shuichi has been active in sports and fitness his entire life. He became a certified personal trainer in 1998 and received his Bachelor of Science degree in Kinesiology at the University of Maryland in 2002.

In 2004, Shuichi was hired by NBA superstar Alonzo Mourning to design and facilitate a strength, conditioning and rehabilitation program to help him recover from a kidney transplant. Shuichi soon relocated to Miami to continue working with Mourning during his successful return to the NBA. The partnership of Shuichi and Morning is described in Chapter 12 of Mourning’s autobiography Resilence: Faith, Focus, Triumph. The book goes in depth to illustrate the experience they both underwent in that period of their respective lives. Since then, Shuichi has worked with many of Miami’s celebrities, professional athletes and other elite clientele.

In the fall of 2007, after building a reputation of integrity, professionalism and positive results with his clients, Shuichi launched the Shuichi Take Fitness Company. Shuichi plans to expand his brand in the future.
