ABOUT THE OWNERS
CONNOR PEACOCK
Fitness and wellness has been a part of my life from day one. I remember my mom working at Central Park Athletic Club and I would spend hours upon hours playing in the kids fitness center, shooting baskets, and watching my mom train clients. I started my first job in a gym at the age of 16 at a local health club in Daytona Beach, FL and have been hooked ever since. I went on to earn a bachelors degree in Exercise Science from the University of Central Florida. I am certified through the National Academy of Sports Medicine as a personal trainer in 2011 and quickly moved to Chicago to start my career. I founded Peacock Fitness in 2014 and began my journey as an independent contractor. After 7 years as an independent contractor, my wife and I opened Train At The Space in Bucktown, Chicago in January 2021.
I’ve logged over 15,000 training hours in my career all while working with clients who possess a wide range of skill levels. Over the years, I have earned multiple certifications from the top coaches and programs in the country. My passion for continuously learning has given me the ability to identify a clients ability, instill confidence in their technique, and build a program from there.

“I’ve added strength and muscle tone as well as reducing my weight. Connor provided gentle encouragement to track my nutrition and activities outside of training. This helped me form sustainable habits.”
— PAUL G.
“Connor helped me eliminate lower back pain that’s plagued me for half my life. After a couple of months of working with him, it was just gone and he was like, ‘What now?’ I still can’t believe it. Connor has been keeping my back pain away and making my workouts truly fun for over a year now and I can’t imagine what I’d do without him!”
