About Michael
My passion for health and fitness has always been a driving force behind why I became a personal trainer. However, the longer I have been in the industry I have started to realize that the greatest gift that I can give to my clients is ownership of their own happiness. Not just in health and fitness, but in every aspect of their life. It is my mission to continue to educate both myself and my clients in every aspect necessary to eliciting life changing results for those I care for.

My favorite quote
“The STRENGTH of a man isn’t measured by the weight resting on his back, but rather the POWER to lift up heavy hearts"

My training experience
After Graduating as a Student Athlete (Baseball) in Exercise Science and Kinesiology from Colorado Mesa University i originally went into Physical Therapy. I soon realized that I also had a passion for personal training and felt like the marriage of the two was what I was meant to do with my life. Since 2010 I have serviced over 30,000 sessions and hold many certifications in addition to my degree. B.S. from Colorado Mesa University Exercise Science and Kinesiology

Micheal is easy going and receptive to my health concerns. He’s understanding and compassionate. Micheal is one of the better trainers I’ve ever had. His energy and charisma make the sessions fun.
I am nearly 65 years old and have been training with Michael for almost 3 years. I was out of shape and didn’t have the confidence with the way I wanted to live life. I wanted to be active in the outdoors, cut down trees, hike challenging trails, pick things up without worrying about getting hurt. My mobility and balance was poor due to a minor stoke and my poor physical condition. With Michaels skills I can do all these things. I have been able to eliminate blood pressure and calcium prescriptions under a Dr’s supervision. I am no body builder but I am in better shape then most men my age. I feel great and have confidence I can do the things I want to do. I highly recommend him for a whole health trainer
I've been working out with Michael for the past 3 years. He is compassionate, patient and always available to answer questions. I look forward to my private sessions, workout plans and daily banter. As a woman approaching 60 years of age, I'm always amazed at the gains achieved in my weightlifting goals.
If you’re looking for a trainer that can do it all, hire Michael Sutton. From nutrition plans to strength or cardio programs, Michael can cater to any client—former athletes or someone just getting back into the gym after a long hiatus (that’s me!). Michael is constantly honing his craft and learning new techniques, and not only pushing his clients to reach their potential, but also pushes himself to keep things fresh and new. Having now been with him for nearly two years, I continue to look forward to my sessions and know that I could’ve never gotten to this place on my own. If you’re looking for the best, go with Michael!
