I recently had the pleasure of going thru the paces of a program with Coach Mike at The Forge. Coach Mike a very experienced professional and well versed in what it takes to be physically prepared. More importantly, however, is his ability to facilitate mental preparation. To be honest, Coach Mike probably works with lots of young athletes that want to take their game to a higher level. I'm just a past middle-aged woman who strives to keep her pant size from growing. Good news...Coach Mike is exactly the kind of coach that can help...even with my kind of goal. He has the knowledge and experience to work with people beyond simply sports coaching. He's a lot like a life coach...because when the stakes are high, it's never just about execution of the physical but always the mental as well. Regardless of your goals, Coach Mike knows how to help you tap in, understands what it takes to be successful and is able to mentor folks of all stripes to higher levels of achievement.

Working with Coach Wilson and the forge was awesome! He came down and helped our entire athletic department during our summer strength and speed workout sessions. In addition, he helped put our volleyball athletes through a movement sessions where they focused on how to move properly and build up their legs to prevent against ACL damage. I've known Mike for over 5 years (used to coach football with him at Beloit College) and if you have an athlete that you want personalized training for, there is not a better strength coach to go to! He will give your athlete's a personal training plan that includes weekly workouts, eating plans, video feedback, and video conferencing! The best part about Coach Mike is his ability to work with what you have (Adapt, Improvise, Overcome); he understands the current constraints of the corona-virus pandemic and can still work with your athletes to make them better. If you are looking for your athlete to get that extra push they need to succeed, Coach Mike is the man with the plan! Reach out to him and see if he can help, you won't regret it.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
I provide discounts for clients who buy 10 sessions at a time or more. I also provide discounts for couples and larger group fitness (3 or more clients).
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I like to have an initial 45 minute consultation to talk about past fitness experiences and to set goals. I also want to know about prior injuries or detractors from fitness so that I can set our programming around that. After that then we start work! My typical sessions are 30-45 minutes in length. We focus primarily on movement, mobility, and strength.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Attend NSCA Coaches Conferences, strength clinics, and fitness workshops. Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist recertification every three years requires Continuing Education Units (CEU's) every year.
