Mike is amazing at what he does. Through his science-based approach to training, he has helped me helped me build muscle while losing fat. I look significantly different than when I started working out with him 4 months ago. I’m genuinely surprised at the progress I’ve made in the gym, and it’s all thanks to him.
When we started, Mike helped me create a meal plan. We calculated my macros and adjusted as my body responded.
Once Mike and I defined my goals, he developed a training plan tailored specific to me. He also helped me with a meal plan, calculating macros, and adjusting as needed every few weeks.
What truly impresses me is how well he understands fitness. You can tell he’s been doing this for a while and keeps up with research.
He can make adjustments on the fly for any injuries or weak areas I have to work around. I’ll sometimes have a strained muscle or a cramp, and he’ll have an immediate solution such as an alternative workout or a specific stretch.
When I question the logic behind a specific workout, some fitness advice I may have seen on Youtube, he’ll have an educated response to it, often proving me or the fitness influencer wrong. The guy knows his stuff!
While he does push me hard to keep me progressing, he’s also very easy-going, friendly, kind and personable. His rates are more than fair, and he is great with accommodating my schedule.
I plan to continue working with him for quite some time.

It’s been great working with Mike. The training sessions have been of great value and I’m making outstanding progress. I plan on continuing my work with him. Mike is very friendly, flexible with his time in case something comes up on my end, knowledgeable and makes training something I look forward to. I highly recommend.

I had 25+ lbs of pregnancy weight I wanted to get rid of. I started with Mike 2-3 days a week for 45 months whole body weight training. Mike is a great personal instructor - very polite and punctual. I really liked his routine - it was more of a full body workout than a particular day for a particular part like other instructors did, which really reduced body soreness post exercise sessions.
I really liked his approach to weight loss too - he recommended getting a dexa scan to better understand which exercises he should concentrate on. It’s 3 months in and I have been able to lose 10 lbs. His diet plan was also great, I couldn’t follow all but it had great recommendations on how to speed the weight loss.
