Training Effects

My road to fitness has been a bumpy one. I tried to do it on my own at home, then I joined a big gym and tried their classes and then their trainers but it never stuck or clicked. I was never sure if I was doing the exercises correctly and had multiple strain/pulls or I was too sore for a week before I wanted to attempt to work out again. It was not enjoyable and I was not seeing the results. Each time I was so hopeful that it would work and I felt like it was just me that I failed again.
Then I tried Mike and it was different from the first session! He truly listened to me, my goals, past injuries and medical conditions. I have suffered for years with a torn rotor cuff issue and three months in, it doesn’t bother me. His program is the true definition of “personalized”. He customizes every exercise and shows me multiple versions so my routines are varied. He reinforces proper form over and over, giving me the knowledge to do it on my own. Each session I get a printed workout sheet with tips to remind me what to do and how to do it properly. Mike knows his stuff and has a way to motivate, inspire, and most importantly teach. Past trainers I tried were called “personal” but the routine was not custom to me and it was obvious they didn’t want to teach so I could do it on my own.
I wanted to wait to write my review to make sure as I have had so many failures in the past but thanks to Mike I now have results! I am so much stronger and fit and the best thing is I have learned and retained the proper form and have the confidence to do this on my own. It is fun and inspiring! I feel accomplished. When I think of Mike and TFX Training Effects I think of Tina Turner’s song- Simply the best, better than all the rest! Hands down…

I have had memberships with all sorts of gyms with personal trainers for the last 45 years stopped about 15 years ago ….and I gotta say Mike is by far the best!!! Started with him last July and I could barley get on the floor, could just a about touch my toes, couldn’t think about doing a push up!! Now I can get on and off the floor, touch my toes, do push-ups, easily and deadlift 95 pounds!!! Mike is so aware of my potential so much more than I am. He is patient, caring and explains everything. Pushes when he thinks I can do more. He absolutely has my best interest at heart, mind and soul!!! He is my hero and I hope I am doing him proud!!!!

Mike is AMAZING! His passion and knowledge is contagious! Highly recommend him if you are looking for someone who will intentionally listen and create a targeted plan. The world needs to know about Mike and Training Effects!

I had knee surgery many years ago. Because of that, I had avoided many exercises because it was so tight. Since I met Mike, he’s helped me work through the restrictions in a safe way. I am now able to do more exercises that I had feared and avoided. I feel stronger than ever! And as a chiropractor, I feel confident referring my patients to him. You will be so glad you made the decision to get his professional expertise.

Mike is an extraordinary personal trainer who is truly gifted in his coaching knowledge and in his ability to effectively navigate client injuries and other challenges. We have been working together three times weekly for the past 1.5 years. In that period, my physical well-being and my chronic back issues have improved significantly. In fact, Mike’s coaching has been more effective than any other approach I have tried over the past three decades. My back condition is now completely manageable, and I have also been able to better recover from a surgically repaired ruptured knee/quad tendon thanks to Mike. He is friendly, attentive, patient, enthusiastic, kind, and easy-going in his approach. His workouts are never boring or routine, and he tailors each session to how you are presenting when you first arrive. If you are looking to improve the physical shape you are in, you will not find a better coach out there than Mike. Whether you are a teenager, adult, older person, athlete, couch potato, or someone like me who was struggling to overcome multiple injuries, Mike will improve your condition as long as you are willing show up for his sessions and exert and challenge yourself. No matter how hard you try on your own, you will not get the same great results you will receive from working with Coach Mike.
