I’m a middle aged guy, who worked out fairly regularly before coming to Studio B.   I was in decent shape for my age, but I felt I wasn’t getting as much as I could out of three visits to the gym each week.  I tended to do the same routine and had difficulty getting beyond certain weight levels.   My original objective was to work with a trainer for a limited time to develop a new routine that I could follow on my own.  I wanted an experienced and knowledgeable trainer with a good certification, who was over 40 and understood the middle-aged body.  Mike fit that bill. 

In the nine months I’ve been working with him, I’ve discovered other advantages of working with a trainer.  Even though we’ve been focusing on upper body development, Mike changes my routine each session so that it’s always different.   I’ve learned a lot about new machines and lifting free weights.  Mike plans my routine and has each station prepared, so we accomplish much more in an hour than if I were working out alone.  He also provides that extra boost when I start to struggle at certain weight levels.  That’s allowed me to get beyond the limits I experienced when I worked out alone.  In the last nine months working with Mike twice a week, I’ve been able to lose body fat, increase stamina, add muscle, and increase strength.  Most importantly, Mike is great fun to work with.  I always look forward to my sessions with him.
