Training Philosophy

Home gym with squat rack, gymnastic rings, exercise mat, roller, and ventilation at the window.

There are no shortcuts.

Michael creates individualised, evidence-based programs that build resilient bodies, minimise injury risk, and support sustained progress.

Approach


Building strength with purpose

I believe in a well-rounded approach to training that prioritises strength and conditioning as the foundation for long-term health and performance. Building strength is central to this for resilience and longevity. 

01

Challenge the body, calm the mind

Alongside this, I focus on improving overall health through the provision of nutritional guidance, as well as teaching strategies to effectively manage the nervous system.

What my clients have to say

“I’ve been training with Mike for about 2 years now, and still learn something new every single week. He is a pleasure to learn from, train with and have a laugh with too.

I work in a desk job, and have exercised and lifted weights in some shape or form for about 20 years now. Mike’s knowledge of the human body and recovery techniques have undoubtedly helped me to shift the familiar office sluggishness, aches and pains.

In particular, I find when training weekly with him my posture is better, my energy levels are noticeably higher and I’m motivated to lead a more active outdoor lifestyle outside of our sessions.”

Nathan Thompson

“I’ve been training with Mike for a while now, as a woman feeling comfortable with my trainer is really important to me and honestly he’s been brilliant! It feels like a safe and supportive space to train.

My goal is to build strength and Mike has helped me do that in a way that feel manageable and really enjoyable. He explains everything really clearly, adjusts training when needed and genuinely pays attention to how I’m feeling in each session. I’m getting stronger and more confident week on week and I really enjoy our sessions.

If you want a PT who is supportive, knowledgeable and invested in your comfort and progress I’d definitely recommend Mike”
