About Mike

In my training sessions, I strive to create a supportive and motivating environment for my clients. I believe in pushing them outside their comfort zones to unlock their true potential. Each session is tailored to the individual's goals and abilities, focusing on both physical and mental well-being. I incorporate a variety of training methods, including strength training, cardiovascular exercises, flexibility work, and functional movements, to ensure a well-rounded approach to fitness.


 


Over the years, I have had the privilege of working with a diverse range of clients. From beginners who have never stepped foot in a gym to athletes looking to enhance their performance, I have guided individuals of all fitness levels. I have also worked with clients seeking weight loss, muscle gain, improved athletic performance, and overall health and wellness. I truly enjoy the challenge of adapting my training methods to meet the unique needs and goals of each client.


 


What sets me apart as a trainer is my personal journey and transformation. I understand what it feels like to struggle with self-image and confidence, and I know firsthand the impact that physical fitness can have on one's life. This understanding allows me to connect with my clients on a deeper level and provide them with the support and guidance they need to overcome their own challenges.


 


I am passionate about helping people become the best version of themselves, both physically and mentally. Witnessing my clients' progress and seeing the positive changes they make in their lives is incredibly rewarding. I am dedicated to continuously expanding my knowledge and staying up-to-date with the latest research and trends in fitness and nutrition to provide my clients with the most effective and evidence-based training methods.


 


If you are looking for a trainer who will push you to reach your goals, provide personalized guidance, and support you every step of the way, I would be honored to work with you. Together, we can transform your body, boost your confidence, and improve your overall well-being. Let's embark on this journey of self-discovery and empowerment together.


My favorite client story

Transforming a sedentary client to walking on stage at his first natural bodybuilding competition and winning first place in his class, it felt like a dream to him.

My training philosophy

A Lifestyle change is beginning a new relationship with yourself, New eating habits, new way of thinking, (reprogramming the way you think of yourself), new ways of doing everyday activities, eating, drinking, breathing, working out, sleeping, and it becomes as second nature as waking up and brushing your teeth, it all starts from within, and for alot of people it is hard to decipher the two.

My training experience

I have successfully taught many of clients the difference and showed them how important it is to change from within, some of these clients are still with me to this day, and they look and feel the best they ever have in their lives, and have become happier people for themselves, and their family, significant others, friends, coworkers, etc.

I hadn’t gone to the gym in years, and Mike was very patient. He put together a regimen that helped ease me back into a routine, and was very attentive to my needs. I was over 200 lbs when I started Mike’s program, and by the end of that year, I had lost about 15 lbs! Mike made going to the gym something to look forward to, and while he kept us focused on our exercises and goals throughout our sessions, he was super friendly. I’d highly recommend Mike as a personal trainer, he really gets it.

Chris

Mike is super knowledgeable and kind. I appreciated how he took the time to break down form and really keep track of my progress. Also when we had to go remote during the pandemic, Mike made these really great custom workouts that I could do at home with limited equipment. 10/10 recommend!

Greg

When you want a great trainer check out Mike. Mike is clear about finding exercises that align with your fitness goals as well as advice about nutrition. Mike is a champion competitor and knows how to bring out the best in you and motivate you for success.

Greg

I totally recommend Mike as a trainer. Changed my body completely and taught me all the tricks in the kitchen. Very knowledgeable. I have moved out of Philadelphia because of work reasons, and i still have him train me. Keeps me motivated even if im hundreds of miles away. Till this day he is the only trainer i trust that will help me make my body improve.
