About
PLAYTIME IS OVER Performance • Longevity • Metabolic Health REMOTE & ONLINE NATIONWIDE OR LOCAL TO BRADENTON • LAKEWOOD RANCH • SARASOTA YOUR HEALTH DOESN’T HAVE TO STAY THE WAY IT IS. If you’re serious about improving the way you look, feel, move, perform, and age, I can help you build an actual path forward. I’m a Certified Nutrition Coach, Certified Personal Trainer, and strength & conditioning professional who has spent years studying exercise science, nutrition, biomechanics, metabolic health, and human performance. My job isn’t simply to tell you to “eat better and exercise.” My job is to help you figure out WHAT to do, WHY you’re doing it, and HOW to measure whether it’s actually working. BUILD YOUR HEALTH BY MEASURING IT. One of the most powerful tools available to us is objective data. When appropriate, I can help you coordinate comprehensive blood testing through Quest Diagnostics or Labcorp, using laboratory markers relevant to your individual goals. From there, we establish a baseline and develop a personalized nutrition, exercise, recovery, and lifestyle strategy. Then we track your progress. 90 days. 180 days. 365 days. Not just by looking in the mirror — but by measuring meaningful changes in your health and performance. The goal is simple: Create measurable improvement and keep improving. PERSONALIZED EXERCISE & PERFORMANCE COACHING Whether your goal is: * Losing body fat * Building muscle and strength * Improving cardiovascular fitness * Improving mobility and balance * Increasing physical performance * Improving metabolic health * Maintaining independence as you age * Or simply becoming the strongest, healthiest version of yourself …I’ll design the training around YOU. I specialize in resistance training, cardiovascular conditioning, strength development, biomechanics, and training strategies designed to help people make sustainable progress. And yes — we’re going to have some fun doing it. Because the best program in the world isn’t worth much if you don’t enjoy doing it. THIS IS COACHING — NOT A COOKIE-CUTTER PROGRAM. My weekly coaching is highly educational and motivational. You’ll learn how your food, exercise, recovery, sleep, and lifestyle choices interact — and you’ll have a coach helping you turn that knowledge into action. I want you to understand your own body well enough that the changes you make become part of your life rather than another short-term diet or fitness program. I’m also currently trusted by World Record powerlifter Joe Gaffin and Florida State Champion Courtney Caver for strength and performance coaching. SO WHERE DO YOU WANT TO GO? You can continue doing what you’ve always done. Or you can establish a baseline, create a plan, measure the results, make adjustments, and see what you’re actually capable of accomplishing. Your health is an investment. Let’s build it. PLAYTIME IS OVER.

Michael is awesome! Not only does he know his stuff but he is so kind and understanding. I am pretty sensitive about weight loss stuff and have even struggled with eating disorders and pain in certain areas of my body and he has been so sensitive to all of that. He wants to understand how he can best help you and wants to help you understand how you can best help yourself on your journey. He is there with you to guide you through the tough process of weight loss (if that is what you need help with). Even if I just text him with a question of what to order at a restaurant, he is right there to guide me. He not only helps to guide you along this difficult journey but also helps you to understand what you are doing and why in order to get results. I 100% recommend him!

I was very hesitant about hiring a coach. I've tried 157 different diets. I'm a workaholic. I'm a perfectionist. I freak out when things don't go my way and I am known to be a bit dramatic. I have limited time due to my hectic work schedule and I tend to think in black and white despite my career, (I should know better!) I'm a mental health therapist and so instinctively, I critique people's ability to empathize with others. In any capacity of my life, I will only work with people capable of listening to, caring about and understanding my personal needs. Michael validates my feelings and comforts me during instances where I ruminate on worst case scenarios. He supports me as a person and takes into account how outside factors affect my life. He utilizes significant time to cater to my questions and concerns. If he doesn't have the answer? He will find it. I was diagnosed with MS two years ago. Michael has done notable research on my condition and implements ways to minimize unwanted health concerns. I rest assured knowing Michael is not only my coach, but my teammate. He prioritizes my goals and my health but most importantly, reminds me of my self-worth and value.

Mike really helped my husband and I gain a solid understanding of the benefits of proper nutrition. He simplified our weight loss journey by giving us the tools to succeed each week. The knowledge we have gained will enable us to succeed for a life time. It’s exciting to see the results. Not only seeing the results but feeling better, having more energy, and really living. What you learn while working with Mike is truly eye opening, and motivating- You won’t be disappointed.

I started with Michael around 4 weeks ago and I am down 12 pounds as of today. Michael is always on time and professional. He takes the time to explain the process each step of the way. I would highly recommend.
