Are you struggling with achieving the ideal physique that you want, or are currently dealing with muscle or chronic joint pain? Do you feel lethargic, tired, or have low energy throughout the day? Are you tired of physical therapy exercises that concentrate on treating the symptom, while ignoring the cause?

I am Mike Groth, and I hold a masters degree in movement science (kinesiology), while having 2 national certifications with the NASM (Corrective Exercise Specialist) and the NSCA (Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist). My primary concentration is working with individuals of any and all ability level/age who aspire to shape and tone up, as well as move, look, and feel better than ever before.

It's remarkable how many people misunderstand how to train that would permit them to particularly target what they are trying to enhance. All too often, we have great intentions of losing weight through working on machines, joining gyms, simply going out for a run or attending zumba or yoga classes.

The problem with these activities is that they work to improve cardiovascular, strength or flexibility (respectively) exclusively. Certainly, they burn calories, however, the total number of calories burned is significantly less than what most would think. Moreover, as far as the 24-72 hours in between workouts is concerned, these modes of physical activity are drastically short of what has been scientifically proven as attainable in terms of quantity of calories burned from a workout.

What differentiates me from other training professionals is in my integrative approach to exercise program design. Every training session includes a strong emphasis on:

- Cardiovascular endurance,
- Flexibility,
- Strength,
- Balance,
- Power,
- Tweaking these components of fitness into multiple planes of motion,

And, most importantly,
- Working at an intensity that will elicit the fat burning response which your body has missed out on.

A lot of these exercise techniques are used by the field's top fitness professionals that have reproduced results with their athletes and clients time and again. These effective and efficient training techniques have helped my clients drop 3 dress sizes in 5 weeks, lose 17 lbs. and 6% body fat in 8 weeks, and totally eliminate lower back, shoulder or knee pain. My main objective is to provide an accommodating and educational service that will supply you with the motivation, the skills and the self-efficacy to go on training on your own.

So, whether it be one-on-one training, group exercise with close friends, or a larger group "AG Fitcamp" with your friends, family, or co-workers, why not increase your chances for success by working with a professional who will provide you with not just a program, but a lifestyle?

See what my clients have to say about their experience and results on my website, attainablegrowth.com. I look forward to helping you achieve a "better" you!

  My name is Jonathan Rogers; I am 25, and a former Marine. I have a fairly decent grasp on working out and have done so for 5-6 years now. I play hockey multiple times a week and I wanted to increase my ability to perform, so I went to Mike. I asked for him to develop a training program that focused on power, speed, and agility. Mike quickly hooked me up with an 8 week program. Needless to say it kicked my ass. Mike gave me movements that were unique and fun to perform. Sets, reps, and weight changed each week so it never became mundane. Mike was there throughout the entire process checking in on me to make sure the long distance program was going well and that I understood all of the movements. With the workout came numerous online videos that demonstrated proper movement to maximize effectiveness and safety. Mike offered to review my workouts via video and answered any question I had immediately. In addition to all of this is Mikes website: http://attainablegrowth.com/. The website is incredible. It is easy to read, especially with Mikes humor, and filled with new endless knowledge. I am frequently a reader, check it out, you will be to.
  The result of Mikes regiment was outstanding; I have never felt better on the ice. My shot felt harder, my skating ability went up significantly, I had more energy throughout games, could battle in the corners with better results, and had an increase in confidence. Mike, without a doubt, can meet all of your training needs, just like he did for me

  I highly recommend Mike Groth as a personal trainer. I injured my left hip a little over a year ago. After I was cleared by my physician and completed all my insurance allowed physical therapy sessions I began training sessions with Mike. Mike was experienced working with athletes with injuries since he did his University of Texas Masters Degree internship as a trainer for the UT men's and women's basketball teams. I am gaining strength and mobility in that left hip by exercising using the tailored workouts Mike designed for me.
  Additionally, I travel a lot with my work and a regularly scheduled time each week is not always possible. Mike works with me and my scheduling assistant to find times for my workout. Mike comes to my home and brings all the necessary equipment for the session. The convenience of being at home, where I can work until just before the session and then shower and head to the next business meeting is awesome.
  Mike can design and conduct individual or group sessions to meet your needs. Try him out and see what you think!

  I came to Michael to learn how to workout again and to gain flexibility with the added benefit of losing some weight, however I must say that the weight loss was secondary to my goal of learning. As a former college athlete, now in my 50's, I realized that much had changed both in my abilities (strength etc.) and the methods used for training. I had been working on my own using a popular program (P90X) for about 6 months and while my conditioning improved I was not reaching my goals in flexibility. After 3 months of working with Michael I reached both my goal in flexibility and knowledge. Michael was patient and thorough in his explanations with the kind of demonstration and attention to detail that made the customized workout perfect for me. I easily and joyful recommend Michael Groth to anyone that desires to see results and gain the knowledge of those lifestyle changes necessary to hold on to a healthy and active life.

  I have been involved in basketball for a little over 10 years now. I have been looking for ways to improve my game since I first began playing. For the past 6 years I have been trying different methods to increase my athleticism in order to further accelerate my game. I tried numerous online jump programs that claimed they could provide amazing results. I spent hundreds of dollars and tons of my time and energy on these so-called top of the line programs. These programs that lasted from 16 weeks and some up to a year long. I saw amazing results in my muscle mass, strength, and power. Even though I was making gains here and there in vertical leap and speed, I felt like I wasn’t getting anywhere near the results promised. I have been training for the past two years so that I could try out for an ABA team, with the hopes of one day playing for a professional team. I tried some local professionals who were known for training athletes of all levels in a dynamic yet effective training setting. The training was in a small group and it was like nothing I had ever done before. I felt the classes were great for overall athleticism, but didn’t really cater to my basketball needs. The training was kind of expensive and I was forced to discontinue their services after a couple of months. A friend of mine recommended Mike and said that he had worked with the University of Texas basketball team for a number of years and really knew his stuff. After meeting with Mike I could tell by his knowledge, enthusiasm, and attention to detail, that he could give me the training I needed to get to the next level. I was looking to focus my workouts around basketball specific training. I wanted to improve my movement efficiency, agility, court speed, court strength, and explosiveness. Mike gave me a workout that included the type of dynamic training that would transfer over to the basketball court. A combination of power movements, core training, agility and mobility drills, and some on court ball handling drills were all incorporated into my workout. After showing me how to perform each lift and drill properly while allowing me to ask as many questions as needed, I completed the first part of the program in four weeks. I was able to noticeable improvement in my movements on the court, after just a few weeks. I was shocked that I was able to actually notice a difference in improvement after a few weeks, after seeing very few results from years of training. Every four weeks I would meet with Mike to assess my improvement and add new drills in order to provide more advanced drills to accommodate my improvements. I have never worked with a trainer as thorough and detail oriented as Mike. After just a few months of using his custom made program I am significantly more efficient than I have ever been. I was known for having really good athleticism, but now I am freak. Before I started the program I couldn’t perform close to my peak level of ability for very long. I had a few bursts in me and then I was too tired to run as fast or jump as high. Now I am able to tap into my max potential more frequently, and for longer durations. I’m super excited to know that this is only the beginning. I can’t wait to see where I am after a few more months. The training has given me amazing results. To give you an idea of my improvement, I am 6’1” and I could dunk pretty easily before my training. I just found out yesterday that I could bump my head on the rim! The results surprise me, and I am the one doing the training. I just never know what to expect.

  A few years ago I fell while hiking with my dogs in the greenbelt, and I have been struggling with knee pain ever since. Since my injury did not require surgery, I went through physical therapy for about 8 weeks following the accident. My knee got a little better, but it seemed like it flared up all the time since I had no strength left in it, which caused me to re-injure it on regular basis. I also tried acupuncture for a few years, but it didn't fix the problem even though it helped with some of the swelling. I started training with Mike several months ago because I wanted to start working out again and I felt that I needed the motivation from a trainer. When I told Mike about my knee and my chronic back pain, he came up with workouts that would strengthen my core and focus on the weak areas of my body. I am so pleased that today my knee is stronger than it has been in years, and it is completely free of pain. My back pain is now minimal, and we are continuing to work on it. I am so impressed with Mike's knowledge and the way that he addressed my particular needs. I feel confident that Mike will get me to where I am completely pain free and stronger than ever. It has been a pleasure to work with Mike, and I love the convenience of having a trainer who comes to my home!

  I strongly recommend Mike Groth as a personal trainer. I had some severe neck pain due to bulging spinal discs and chronic muscle tension and Mike put together a series of exercises that helped me out tremendously. He is clearly a very intelligent man who knows what he's doing. He's enthusiastic and very motivated to help you with your individual needs. A++

  I won't lie, Mike's my boyfriend, but he is a wonderful trainer and person in general. By just giving me a weekly workout and showing me how to execute the movements, Mike helped me lose around 15 pounds of fat in a couple of months, all while toning and gaining the muscle I longed for. He's a great motivator and truly cares about his clients, so much that he will continually check up on those he has not spoken to in a while, just to make sure they are staying on the right path. He can also provide group trainings at a great rate, which tons of my friends are now involved in. Mike's a sweetheart with a truly wonderful talent that will be noticed in your first session.

  My goal when I met Mike was to fit back into my "skinny" jeans, post pregnancy (after gaining more than 50 pounds). Through Mike's guidance I've achieved my goal, and so much more. I feel stronger, and my body is more toned than ever. I have more energy, and sleep better.
  Mike's home visits are ideal for mommies. We schedule our workouts while my baby naps. It's just perfect!
  Here are my numbers:
  I'm 33 years old, 5ft. 7in. We began working out together 3 months post-pregnancy. Within 12 weeks, I lost 20 pounds (144 lbs down to 124 lbs) and 4 jeans sizes (size 30 down to a 26).
  I still enjoy eating out and wine, and I'm never hungry.
  I am grateful beyond measure!
  If you are ready to meet your goals, I know just the person to help you achieve them. Call Mike...you have nothing to lose. :)
