Mike's vast knowledge and methods were life changing for me! Best trainer I've ever worked with.
Mike is an excellent trainer. He has a research driven approach and is constantly looking for the best information to share with his clients to improve many different aspects of their life. Mike is the first trainer I have ever worked with and I highly recommend him to anyone that is looking to become a better version of themselves.
No words could possibly suffice to articulate how Mike has changed my life. In addition to making me a stronger, healthier, more athletic version of myself, he has also made me a better human being. I am immeasurably grateful for everything he has done over the past three years; he is my motivational speaker, my coach, my ass-kicker, and my #1 fan. He is a lifelong student whose constant thirst for knowledge drives him to be at the top of his game 100% of the time. Whenever I have experienced a change in circumstance (e.g., being diagnosed with a thyroid condition) or injury (e.g., nerve "tweak" in my foot), Mike has been there with useful articles, videos, and tidbits that are tailored specifically to me. If you have a special condition or limitation, he will do everything he can to learn about it and provide you with the best care possible. This extends far beyond fitness; he is an expert on nutrition and the mind-body connection as well. Contacting Mike will be the best decision you ever make for yourself. It certainly was for me!
