Four months ago I was debilitated by sciatic nerve pain that stopped me from carrying out my daily activities. My 1st month was nonstop internet searching the many people who had just the right stretch that would cure my pain. I gave that a month nothing helped. My 2nd month I went to PT, had just 10 % improvement with cookie cutter exercise routine with no one watching me to make sure I was doing the details of the exercises correct so that healing could take place. Then a friend who trains with Mike told me I know someone who can help you heal from your pain! My trainer A Trainer!! My thoughts of a Drill Sargent yelling at me, motivation through mild humiliation, piling on more weights and reps to the point I wouldnt be able to walk after my sessions, all at an outrageous fee. But I was in so much pain and getting tired of dealing with the pain what did I have to lose!! Boy was I surprised and pleased with Mike! Mike fits none of my worrisome thoughts! Mike is more than a trainer, he is a gifted instructor and a healer! First, Mike is comfortable to be around. His strategy is to find and focus on the Cause of the pain so that long term healing can take place, never to return. In finding the Cause, Mike showed me how my painful hip area was compensating for my weaker other side! During my session, Mike would talk about the importance of building muscle strength and stability (correctly) to heal my current pain and to prevent other areas of pain later on in life. So, after just 3 weeks doing 2 sessions a week with Mike, my pain/discomfort was down 85%! With the discomfort basically gone, I chose to continue training with Mike to continue building my body strength and stability correctly. Thanks Mike for the healing, your knowledge, quality training and an enjoyable time mixing them all together during my one hour sessions that fly by so fast!!

Mike at Realiztic Fitness is an amazing personal trainer and "pain whisperer". Mike is so talented at addressing and fixing pain issues on the fly. I can show up for a training session for example with lower back pain and on the fly, Mike can adjust my training exercises to help alleviate my pain. I have been working out at Realiztic fitness for over 5 years.

Mike motivates me to do better and to workout. I have been going to him for a year now and everyday has been a blast. I started going 2 days a week but now I go 5. I am a 16 year old boy and I recommend going to Mikes if you want to have fun while working out.

Ive known Mike for 20+ years, including the beginning of his career as a personal trainer. Two things have always remained constantthe love he has for his field, and the commitment and passion he has for the people he trains. Having been a personal trainer myself, I thought I knew all I needed to know about fitness. I was the typical gym rat and all I cared about was aesthetics. Years of this way of thinking proved to be detrimental to my posture and I started noticing that my left foot was turning outwards and I was developing a lean to the left side. Not to mention, the pain I experienced after every workout. I didnt know what was wrong exactly, but I knew 2 things: I was breaking down inside, and I needed help. After going to countless physical therapists and doctors, I was about ready to give up. They all seemed to have the same thing to say, and they all rushed me though the session with only their next session on their mind. None of them really seemed to care about what was going on with me, or even worse, how to fix it. Working with Mike has been great in so many ways. You can tell right from the beginning, that he really cares and wants to see you improve. Whether your goals are muscle growth, weight loss, or even dealing with that nagging pain you live with on a day to day basis (we all have at least one). He really commits to helping his clients and takes the time to understand your problem, and will spend extra time researching your issue if necessary. Whatever it takes to help you achieve your goals! Give Mike 10 minutes of your time, you wont be sorry!
