Milan prepares to welcome back MypersonalTrainer Days, the appointment that has now become an essential benchmark for anyone who considers well-being a pillar of their daily life: the fifth, highly anticipated edition of the event will take place Saturday, September 19 and Sunday, September 20, in the splendid and iconic setting of the Arco della Pace.

The initiative, patronized by the Municipality of Milan, aims to exceed last year’s already extraordinary numbers with an even more immersive, accessible, and varied format. The fil rouge of the 2026 edition will be the concept of Wellness Beat: a metaphor that combines the rhythm of the heartbeat, the fluidity of physical movement, and the energy of music to accompany every participant toward rediscovering their ideal balance between body, mind, and emotions.

SPECIAL GUESTS AND TOP-TIER SPORT: FROM CAROLINA KOSTNER TO CHIARA PELLACANI, MARTINA COLOMBARI, ALESSANDRO MATRI, NICOLA AMORUSO, AND OTHER FOOTBALL LEGENDS

The stage of MypersonalTrainer Days will host a true parterre de rois featuring Olympic champions, entertainment personalities, and icons of Italian football, in a lineup co-hosted by the well-known sports journalist Monica Bertini.

Saturday, September 19, 10:00 AM – Opening of the event and ribbon cutting in the presence of the Councillor for Sport, Tourism, and Youth Policies Martina Riva, who will officially kick off the days dedicated to wellness and sport.

An exceptional guest will be Carolina Kostner. The figure skating champion, an absolute symbol of the perseverance and elegance of Italian sport worldwide, will share her story in an intimate interview. At the center of the dialogue are the secrets to finding one’s “internal rhythm” and the resilience needed to get back up after every fall, both on the ice and in daily life. A passionate narrative that will also cover her Olympic career—from her role as flag bearer at Turin 2006 to the bronze won in Sochi 2014—highlighting how the pressure of the big five-ring stages can be transformed into a lesson in personal growth and determination.

The spotlight will then turn to Chiara Pellacani, star of the Italian national diving team, fresh from her incredible exploit at the Paris European Championships in August 2026, where she made history by winning no fewer than five gold medals in the five events she entered.

Hers is an extraordinary and non-linear path: very young, she had the courage to put herself completely back in the game, splitting her training between Italy and abroad to reach the highest levels of international sport. A unique opportunity to hear in her own voice the value of the athletic and mental preparation work that lies behind successes of this caliber.

At 12:00 PM Martina Colombari will talk about her method for training body, mind, and willpower, starting from her book “Il cambiamento sei tu” (coming out via Sperling&Kupfer on September 22). At the center of her speech is the idea that well-being arises from the awareness that change always starts with each of us: a path based on tenacity and discipline to face passing time with a smile, through nutrition, movement, and stress management.

Sunday, September 20, 10:00 AM – The second day will give space to entertainment and amateur competition thanks to the exclusive Padel Tournament organized in collaboration with Italy Padel Tour & Bombeer. On the court set up for the occasion, Italian football legends will compete, including Christian Vieri, Alessandro Matri, Nicola Amoruso, Christian Brocchi, Stefano Torrisi, and Tomas Locatelli, ready to entertain the public with athletic performances and great fun.

PREVENTION AND HEALTH AT THE CORE: FREE HEALTH SCREENINGS

MypersonalTrainer Days confirms itself not only as a space for entertainment and physical activity, but as a concrete outpost for public health. The big news for this fifth edition is the prestigious partnership with LILT Milano (Italian League for the Fight against Tumors), which will allow the community to be offered an important service of free oncological prevention inside a high-tech mobile clinic:

Saturday, September 19: senological examinations and mammograms of the latest generation using tomosynthesis, reserved for women over 40 years old.

Sunday, September 20: senological examinations and breast ultrasounds dedicated to women under 40.

To complete the medical-scientific offering, on both days an area dedicated to cardiovascular health will be set up, where all participants can carry out free cardiological check-ups, including blood pressure measurement and basic electrocardiogram (ECG) as well as free screenings for dry eye syndrome.

TALKS, OUTREACH, BEAUTY, AND PRACTICAL MEDICINE: “JOIN US AND LEARN HOW TO LIVE WELL”

Scientific knowledge meets accessible dissemination through a series of meetings open to the public, designed to provide practical tools to apply in daily life. The talks will be moderated and presented by journalist, author, and science communicator Angelica Amodei, structured around three major macro-themes:

Longevity and Mental Health: a deep exploration into the biological and psychological mechanisms to age well and keep the brain active. Speakers include Licia Fertz, a splendid icon of active longevity at 96 years old; journalist Edoardo Rosati, who will explain the extraordinary gift of brain neuroplasticity; Ascanio Polimeni together with sociologist Angela Marocco, ready to reveal the lifestyle secrets of the planet’s longest-living populations. Psychotherapist Alberto Pellai will address the delicate theme of emotional listening, while aesthetic surgeon Sergio Noviello will show how regenerative and preventive medicine can make us feel comfortable in a changing body.

Sustainable and Integrated Nutrition: superare i falsi miti della nutrizione attraverso la scienza. Dietitian Tiziano Scarparo will illustrate how to abandon restrictive diet culture in favor of a nutritional approach integrated with psychology; nutritionist Laura Crugnola, joined by well-known trainer Nicolò Famiglietti (both from the roster of Power Talent Agency), will present the “Food & Move” pairing for cellular health, while gastroenterologist Dr. Gabriele Prinzi will offer valuable insights into the role of the gut microbiota for systemic well-being.

Beauty, Cosmetics, and Practical Medicine: skincare understood as the first act of health. Aesthetic doctor Antonio Braucci will introduce the new frontiers of Skin Longevity; Dr. Giacomo Pisano (known on social media as @socialmentefarmacista) will debunk common doubts about supplements and cosmetics based on scientific evidence. In addition, creator Michela Morace will hold a practical demonstration on the use of the draining brush to stimulate lymphatic flow and reduce facial swelling (with complimentary product samples while supplies last).

A NON-STOP PROGRAM: WORKOUTS, FUN, AND ACTIVITIES FOR EVERYONE

From morning to evening, the Arco della Pace will resound with energy thanks to an uninterrupted program of classes open to any level of physical fitness:

The program pairs the search for inner balance with high intensity. In holistic disciplines, options range from bodyART (physiotherapy and Chinese medicine) to Yoga Therapy Stress Relief to reduce cortisol, up to AntiGravity® Fitness with expert Sayonara Motta on suspended hammocks. For those seeking a cardio boost and ethnic rhythms, the offer proposes the Afro-Brazilian warrior dance Maculelê, the martial arts strikes of Kombat Burn, the percussion of Tamboo, and the synchronized HIIT of Strong Nation.

Top Trainers in the sector: sessions will be led by an exceptional cast with fitness gurus Nicolò Famiglietti, Silvia Fascians, and Luca Anzano (from the crew MypersonalTrainer and Power Talent Agency), along with true icons like Jill Cooper, Roberta Vanzella, and Monia Di Cocco.

Outdoor & Special events: the beloved functional walk MYPT Cross the Park returns, led by the widely followed Jairo Junior. To crown Saturday, a large and energetic Zumba Beat Party will take place, a true party open to all.

Finally, inclusive spaces and services designed for the whole family will not be missing: from educational workshops by Pompieropoli organized in collaboration with the Fire Brigade for the little ones, to a Pet Area dedicated to activities and the well-being of our four-legged friends.
