About Me

As a passionate fitness enthusiast with a deep-rooted appreciation for the intricate workings of the human body, I’ve always been driven by the pursuit of maximizing its potential. My journey has been guided by a fundamental belief that understanding how the body moves and recognizing its inherent limits are essential steps toward achieving optimal fitness.

 

My unique approach to personal training is grounded in the principle that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. I take the time to genuinely understand each individual, tailoring my methods to their specific needs and aspirations. Drawing upon my experiences in the Marines and the fire service, I’ve come to appreciate the critical role that fitness plays in our lives, both for physical well-being and mental resilience.

 

Beyond my dedication to fitness, I am a proud father of two boys, and my commitment to a healthy lifestyle is not only a personal endeavour but a family value. I firmly stand for fair-priced personal training, ensuring that everyone has access to quality fitness guidance. My ultimate goal is to empower individuals to discover their inner and outer strength, helping them unlock their full potential in pursuit of a healthier and happier life.

What my clients say…

Mike is an excellent PT and has helped me train for a variety of events/challenges over the last few years. I have made huge improvements with Mike's help and this has been down to the fact that he has always trained me in a way that has felt specific to me and my goals and not a 'one size fits all' approach. He is friendly, knowledgeable, and motivating and most importantly I have trust in him that he is able to help me get to where I want to be. Highly recommended.
Matt, 40

I’ve been training with Mike periodically for over 4 years. As an older woman I was very apprehensive at first, lacking confidence and embarrassed. He completely reassured me with his approach, a thorough individual assessment, worked with me on a plan and through every session gave personal attention support & encouragement. I’ve no hesitation in recommending him as a personal trainer.
Sue, 67

I use Mike as my personal trainer, and I can confidently say that he has gone above and beyond to help me achieve my fitness goals.

From the moment I met Mike his passion for fitness and dedication was evident. He took the time to understand my fitness objectives, limitations, and preferences, creating a tailored workout plan that was both challenging and enjoyable. His knowledge of exercise physiology and nutrition is impressive and is always ready to explain. His support and encouragement and the way he pushes me to my limits while ensuring that I exercise safely and effectively. His positive attitude and constant motivation keep me on track, even on days when I don’t feel up to it.

Overall, Mike is an exceptional personal training instructor who is not only knowledgeable and skilled but also caring and motivating. Thanks to his guidance, I've achieved results in terms of strength, endurance, and overall fitness. I highly recommend it to anyone seeking a dedicated and results-driven personal trainer. He made a positive impact on my fitness journey, and I couldn't be happier with the experience.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Over the years, I have received many questions relating to my personal training, classes or training sessions. No question is too small and here are three of the most popular questions I get asked. If you have a question, drop me an email using the form below or give me a call on 07816 646154

  • How many sessions should I be attending each week to see maximum benefits?

    Any amount of training is great, but by training regularly, at least three times a week, will contribute significantly to improving your fitness level.

  • Can I still do strength training even if I am overweight?

    Absolutely, strength training is suitable for anyone and everyone. Engaging in strength training by itself can aid in weight loss and contribute to the development of a healthier, more mobile you.

  • Am I too old to start training?

    The short answer is no. Regardless of your age, any form of training can assist in maintaining strength and mobility, as long as it is customised appropriately.
