Get to Know Michael
Hi, I'm Michael. I am privileged that I get to share my passion for exercise and movement with clients. I love lifting heavy weights and nutrition, I enjoy seeing the hard work I put in lead to results and change my body. When I'm not in the gym, I love going to concerts, metal music is my favorite. I also enjoy hiking, watching sports, and playing video games. My favorite part of being a trainer is getting to watch my clients accomplish goals they didn't think were possible.
What made you become a personal trainer? I grew up playing sports and being active. When I was 12, I started working out as a part of my wrestling training and fell in love with it.
What's your favorite exercise? Hard to narrow down, but I like pull-ups and deadlifts because they make me feel strong.
What's your least favorite exercise? Any exercise that doesn't properly factor in the risk of injury.
What is your favorite part about being a personal trainer? I love sharing my knowledge with people and seeing them develop a passion for fitness. For so many people working out is a chore. When I’m able to instill an attitude of enjoyment in regard to fitness I feel I’ve done a good job. I also love seeing their hard work pay off!
What are your personal training specialties? Body recomposition, corrective exercise, hypertrophy training, mobility, and general sports performance
​
What is a fun fact about you? I am a brown belt in Judo and used to sing in a Celtic chorus

"I’ve been at Vitality for the last 6 months, and it’s been a game changing experience. I decided to try personal training after too many injuries in CrossFit drove me to make a change. My trainer Michael keeps me accountable, he makes sure that I steadily progress in a controlled way, and he tracks and adjusts to ensure I don’t plateau or get bored of all the same exercises. He gives professional advice, and always has expert answers to all my random questions. It’s been a great learning experience along with seeing a major change in my weight loss and muscle gains. I highly recommend checking them out if you are struggling to get the results you are looking for.
