Meet our founder, Mike Teater

Mike graduated from the University Of Idaho in 1991 with a B.S. double major emphasis in Exercise Science/Corporate Wellness and Athletic Training. He also has minors Nutrition, Physical Education and has three different personal trainer Certifications.

He founded Exercise Institute in 1995, which has completed over 800,000 personal training sessions over the last 29 years and he has personally supervised over 150k training sessions himself.

Mike started using High-Intensity principles in 1992 and became Super Slow Certified in 1994. Seeing the need for the workout to be done in a quiet, cool, private clinical facility, rather than a traditional gym atmosphere.

His latest and current project is as a partner in Imagine Strength, an exercise machine design, development and manufacturing company. Imagine Strength's goal is to make and provide ideal resistance machines for high end, knowledgeable trainers and therapists. Ideally suited for those who wish to age with strength, dignity and independence. The Exercise Institute was one of two facilities who used the first prototypes and had input on improvements and new movement designs.

Why do I only perform one set of each exercise at EI?

When working the muscle to mechanical failure, there is no need to do multiple sets. Once you have recruited all of your motor units in the muscle, you have properly stimulated that muscle to grow in strength.

When performing multiple sets of one exercise, you have to lower the intensity in some way to complete it. That being through decreasing the weight, increasing rest time, or increasing the speed.

While it may seem like you are doing more work so you should receive a better result. That isn't necessarily true.

Therefore, we stick to one set, relatively high weight, minimal rest, super slow, nearly no momentum exercise.
