About

RKM Training is about keeping it real. We don't cut corners, or blow smoke or make unrealistic promises. Fitness is a lifestyle and it does take work, but just because it's hard doesn't mean it has to be complicated. We train at a fully equipped private personal training facility. You will have the entire facility to yourself, so no waiting on equipment or dealing with all the unpleasant aspects of gyms. We focus on functional strength: making your work and play easier, making you more resistant to injury and improving mobility and quality of life... all while burning fat to get you the lean, toned body you want. For those interested in self-defense... Our self defense program is REAL. No nonsense, no fluff, no ceremony and no theory. It has been proven in hundreds of real world violent encounters. We also can seamlessly blend our fitness and self defense training. Let's get to work. I enjoy meeting new people and solving new problems. My favorite part about personal training is when a novice or beginner comes to me with a story about having to move something or do something physical and they felt strong, powerful and resistant to injury. I love when they tell me things like how their spouse suddenly can't keep their hands off of them! I like the fact that I can make gold standard personal training available to beginners, non-athletes and "regular people." I work independently, so I can set the rates (low) and I can do the scheduling (flexible).

My granddaughter had her first session with Mike last week. When she got home she couldn't wait to show her brother what she was learning. She is very shy and the fact that she was comfortable with Mike on the first day says a lot about his ability.

I'm 50, fat, lazy and don't like to sweat. Mike has provided me with a new appreciation for fitness. I never liked exercise - but this isn't "exercise" this is training - LIFE training. Mike uses real-world examples of why and how proper form helps avoid injury and to make you stronger in all aspects of your daily life - from lifting the laundry basket, pulling Christmas decorations down out of the closet and even getting away from an attacker without falling down. You're not just lifting weights. Mike is patient yet challenges you. He makes sure you're doing it the correct way not just going through the motions. He celebrates your successes and helps you through the tough sets with confidence that you can and helps you push through. Oh, I LOVE the boxing! Go in to a session in a bad mood and box it out - walk out feeling great! Never a feeling I got from a treadmill. The rewarding part is noticing how its changing my daily life like being able to walk up my driveway or stairs and not be out of breath at the top like I was before I started my journey with Mike. I'll admit I really do look forward to each session and my journey continues . . .

Within 5 minutes of my initial consultation with Mike, I knew instantly he was the perfect trainer for me. He is extremely professional, knowledgeable and compassionate. Mike listened and made me feel completely comfortable with him. I have had personal trainers in the past and have to honestly say he is one of the very best!

Mike offers real world training with lots of experience. I have been in and out of the gym for years and am not a beginner. I went to Mike because he is able to help me with my lifting even with existing back and shoulder issues, plus get me in shape with boxing style cardio and other programs that are a lot more fun than running on a treadmill or other usual gym equipment. True Pro!

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Personal training programs vary greatly in their content and scheduling. I keep my prices very low, and they are significantly discounted for clients purchasing a training package or for the clients I see on a recurring basis. I offer an additional discount for college students and an obscenely deep discount for police and school teachers as part of our Vital Systems training program.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
The first step is always an informal conversation. We find out your goals and your current progress and go from there. We do an initial consultation free of charge which includes some questions and brainstorming. If things click pretty quickly sometimes we get into some exercise that day. The goal of the consultation will be to figure out if I am right for you and what package best suits you.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
-American College of Sports Medicine Certified Personal Trainer -Certified by The American Red Cross in CPR/AED -Former Police Instructor, trained officers from several state and local police agencies throughout South Carolina in officer survival, active shooter and violent scenario training. -Black Belt in traditional Korean martial arts -student of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu, Japanese Jiu Jitsu, Boxing, Muay Thai, MMA and PPCT (police defensive tactics). -Kickboxing competitor with two 1st place finishes and one 2nd place finish in IKF/PKB tournaments.
