Mike was my trainer at a local gym years ago. Most recently, I've been participating in his Strength and Mobility classes on Zoom. Since starting these classes in August, I haven't felt the need for massages anymore. He has taught me how to use foam rollers, etc., to relieve my aches and pains. Mike is very knowledgeable, fun and encouraging.He's always good for a pep talk! I love how he is always studying to learn more about training and building his business.Working with him is a pleasure! - Robin Searle

Mike is a consummate professional. He is always punctual, ready to go, and is constantly learning more to improve himself. His clients are of the utmost importance to him, as your wins are his wins. His energy is contagious! I think it would be impossible to not be “pumped” after a session with Mike.
Recently I reached out to Mike for some advice on nutrition and a running program I’ve started. It’s been awhile since I’ve trained with him, so I wasn’t sure he’d be willing to help me. Of course he helped! We had a very productive conversation and I’m so grateful he’s the person

My husband introduced me to Mike and his wife and I'm so thankful he did! As a fellow personal trainer, I can tell you that Mike is not only knowledgeable, he is incredibly motivational! He even motivated me to open my own studio space! If you're ready to make a change and get motivated yourself, Mike with Formal Fitness Training is the right trainer for you! He will get you moving and keep you smiling!

I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Mike through virtual training sessions. Mike’s workouts target all areas of the body, leaving me feeling stronger and fitter than before. Mike takes the time to get to know his clients and supports them both physically and mentally. I highly recommend Formal Fitness Training.

Mike is a great trainer to work with. After recovering from back surgery and learning that I need to be careful for the rest of my life not to re-injure my back I was afraid to go back to working out. Then corona hit and I was stuck inside becoming lazier as each day past. I was referred to Mike and started working out with him outside and FaceTime as needed. He took the time to learn what caused my back issues what surgery I had and how we can strengthen my back while concentrating on losing the weight that I gained during surgery and corona He took the time to learn what caused my back issues

This review has been long overdue. I have been working with Mike for a little over six months. Mike has been the first trainer I have ever worked with and I consider myself profoundly lucky. His drive, non-stop work ethic, and motivation to help others provide an inspiration for his clients to achieve their best “always”! I am fortunate to partake in several types of classes he has to offer which include; online training (virtual), one on one training, and group training. I would give everyone of those 5 stars. If you are several hours away or want to workout in your home I definitely recommend

Mike is amazing. He is everything you could want in a trainer and coach. He is supportive and really gears your workouts and plan to your specific goals. His knowledge in what he does really shows. You get a total body workout and feel great when your session is over. Highly recommend Mike and Formal Fitness Training.
