Michal Jonáš is a personal trainer and physiotherapist dedicated to enhancing movement quality, performance, and rehabilitation for athletes and active individuals. Raised in the Moravian-Silesian region, Michal’s passion for sport and physical movement started early as a professional ice hockey player. This athletic foundation shaped his lifelong commitment to understanding the body’s capabilities and limitations.
After earning his bachelor’s degree in physical education from the University of Ostrava, Michal relocated to Prague to pursue advanced studies at Charles University. There, he completed his master’s degree in physical education and sport and later studied physiotherapy to deepen his knowledge of human movement and injury recovery.
Michal joined the Advance Training team shortly after completing his physiotherapy degree and has since been applying a multidisciplinary approach that blends rehabilitation principles with performance coaching. He also serves as the physiotherapist for the Czech national U18 basketball team, working directly with elite youth athletes to optimize their movement and reduce injury risk. Additionally, he is a physical therapist at ROOTS Health Clinic, collaborating closely with Dr. Marcin Dochnal, the founder of ROOTS.
His training philosophy centers on tailored, evidence-informed programs that support each client’s goals — whether returning from injury, improving sport-specific performance, or enhancing general health and functional strength.
