Build practical habits that actually stick.

My Journey

After 25 years in the corporate world, I decided to turn a lifelong passion into a new career in health and fitness. No matter how demanding work became, fitness was always the one thing that kept me grounded, energized and healthy.

Now, as a certified personal trainer, I bring both life experience and practical fitness knowledge to help people build healthy habits that fit into real life.

I believe movement should feel good, not overwhelming. My focus is on helping you move better, feel stronger, boost your energy, and build confidence in a way that is sustainable and realistic.

There is no quick fix when it comes to lasting change. Real progress happens one step at a time, through consistency, support, and finding an approach that works for you. That’s what I am here to help with.

Testimonials

Michael’s approach to training is holistic. As his client, he has engaged the individual and specific needs of my fitness level, as well as my life stage, mindset, and nutritional health and wellness concerns.

I am a 50 year old mother of an 8 year old and also look after aging, unwell elders. I have very little time to attend to my physical training and health needs. Michael is keenly aware of these limitations and has tailored my training to meet me where I am at, while moving at a pace that is both sustainable and progressive at the same time.

Training with Michael has made me stronger, feel and look better. He has provided me with skills and knowledge to sustain a healthy lifestyle in the way that works for me!

I am a senior citizen who’s been a gym rat for over 35 years. As such, I’ve accumulated a number of aches, pains, and conditions over the years.

Michael has been attentive and attuned to my needs. He is quick to make adjustments to my exercises and he modifies my workouts to suit my particular situation. I appreciate his attention to technique and detail. I am very pleased with the results.

Michael is a well informed trainer that can help you meet your wellness goals.  I trained under Michael for about 6 months renewing my 10 session rotation three times.  He helped me with a strength training routine resulting in me gaining confidence and enjoying exercising again. 

After 6 weeks I started seeing results, such as posture improvement, being able to lift heavier items over my head, improved balance, weight loss and overall mental and physical improvement.  Michael pushed me to continue to challenge my exercise routine and kept me accountable.  Michael is very easy going and will customize a program that suits your needs.  I would highly recommend Michael if you need a trainer to develop your strength training and exercise program.
