Client testimonial!

“I heard good things about Michael multiple times over the years from family and friends. I reached out to him basically out of desperation; I did not know what else to do. I was at a low point in my life, physically and mentally. I knew I needed to do something, anything. Even if that meant going outside my comfort zone. I have a medical condition that I felt helpless and hopeless to do anything about and I could feel myself falling in to a depression. Michael sat with me, setting goals and forming a plan of action. Steps for me to be able to feel encouraged and empowered to fight this disease. He has been so patient, kind and willing to teach. He coaches and encourages me without judgement and is totally invested in helping me to live my very best life. I have gone from helpless and hopeless to a badass in training who is not going to just sit back and let life do what it wants with me. I'm living on my own terms! I feel blessed to have met Michael and I do not regret my decision to step out of my comfort zone and try something new. Thank you Michael, you are a true Earth Angel.”

We're so used to getting orange juice 365 days of the year that it may come as news that even Tropicana Pure Premium has a season. But it does.

Here's what my client Linda had to say today-

"I was a little hesitant to start working with a trainer. I'm 62 years old, overweight and out of shape. My friend encouraged me to give Michael a try. It's been 4 weeks since starting. I am surprised how much more energy I have. The weight is coming off slowly, down 5 pounds! I'm eating healthier, drinking more water. I no longer feel the need to nap in the afternoons. Prior to this I always ran out of steam around 2p each day. I'm encouraged, because I see changes that will only get better as we move along. Michael is kind and very respectful. He understands how to modify exercises to meet my limitations. He is very encouraging, helps me to stay motivated. He is well versed on many subjects, exercise, nutrition, breathing etc. I highly recommend him!"

For years I used to think I was breathing properly. Then I discovered that my diaphragm and abdomen were locked up with triggerpoints. Trigger points are when a muscle cannot fully lengthen and is stuck in a short in position. Breathing incorrectly can cause a humongous number of symptoms including anxiety, body aches and pains, weight problems, digestive issues, poor performance in athletic activities, allergies, asthma, etc.

I’ll be making more content on this topic in the future but for now try and breathe from the diaphragm and see how it feels. If it’s been a while since you’ve taken a full proper breath, it will feel intense.  Make sure you’re laying down for this one.
