About
My personal training (and nutrition) program is designed to provide a result for you, not simply a service
Decades of science, precision, and proper exercise form are the keys to successfully changing one's self.
My Ph.D work in nutrition science, physiology (how the body functions), and many years of personal training using weights and machines are my keys.
Past experience includes being a Master trainer who trained and retrained other trainers.
Authoring a book entitled Body Conversion: Understanding Nutrition, Exercise, and Your Body,
#1 trainer out of 4000 nationally at 24 Hour Fitness, my client's results were the keys to my success.
#1 Fitness Director at Youfit (I trained the training staff how to lift correctly)
Was a requested speaker for the U.S. Navy and Northwest Hospital (Coral Springs).

My experience training with Michael has been the best I have encountered. I saw significant results in a short period of time. He is incredibly knowledgeable about proper form and postures to target the right muscles effectively without risk of injury or overexertion.
Even though the previous page only allowed me to select three out of five categories, I would give you a rating of excellence in all five.
Thank you for the great service.

Excellent professional! Michael has expansive knowledge in exercise science and uses those expertise to carve out a desired physique. He explains things in details regarding which muscle group you’re working with and helps improve your form to get max out of each set and rep. Highly recommended!!!

What sets Michael apart is his deep knowledge of technique and form. He pays close attention to the details, which has helped avoid injury and make consistent progress. I have experienced significant improvements in my strength, endurance and overall confidence.
Beyond the workouts, Michael is incredibly supportive and positive. He pushes me to give my best without being intimidating, and genuinely cares about my progress and well-being.
If you are looking for a strength trainer who is skilled, professional and genuinely invested in helping you improve, I highly recommend Michael.

I hired Michael Berger as my personaltrainer to help me lose weight and build muscle. As a man over 50, it was important that my fitness coach had experience and firsthand knowledge of training individuals in this demographic. Michael certainly met all my expectations. His extensive knowledge of biomechanics, physiology, and biochemistry is beyond reproach. He has shown me things no other trainer has taken the time to explain in such great detail. His approach to training is well-rounded and in-depth.
I highly recommend Michael if you are looking for solid fitness coaching that avoids all the media-hyped theories and trends out there today. This is real knowledge from a seasoned professional fitness coach who produces results.

FAQs
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
With each session I work individual muscles of half of the body. Upper body muscle groups include: the back, chest, biceps, triceps, and shoulders. The next session would include the front of the leg, back of the leg, rear end, calf, lower back and abdominals.
This rotates with each session and also rotates different muscles of each group.
