online coaching

Mike is the only personal trainer that I've had and tbh he sets the bar extremely high. He truly has helped change my life currently down 70 lbs and I have never felt better. If you are in need of a trainer this is your guy, no doubt!!!!

Mike is hands-down one of the most knowledgeable and professional trainers I’ve ever worked with, and I spent 8 years working in the industry. And he genuinely cares about each of his clients. I did some remote online training with him and was impressed with how quickly and thoroughly he responded to all of my questions and feedback. I’ve also seen him train clients in-person and his full attention is on his client. 10/10 recommend to anyone looking for a trainer for any purpose.

“I've trained with Mike for over 5 years now. He does an excellent job of providing training programs that challenge me while providing enough variety to keep me motivated. I'm in better shape in my 60's than I was in my 20's.”

“Mike brings a wealth of education and practical experience to his client base. Whether you are preparing for a fitness-based competition, making sure you are prepared to do your job, or are simply looking to make lifestyle changes that improve your health and wellness, Mike will bring a professional approach that will allow you the opportunity to meet your goals.”

“Mike is great to work with!!! He is great at programming and knows what to set better than I do for myself! Very prompt with answering questions and extremely helpful!

“I started with Mike 5 years ago in Nashville in person. I have since been relocated away from Nashville and he continues to write my workouts remotely. He uses varying techniques so nothing gets too stale and evolves your program off your feed back to conquer your weaker areas. He pushes you to edge so that you come back for more, but never to the point where you are contemplating giving up. He's full of knowledge and very adaptive. Strong trainer and a good person. I would recommend.”

“As someone who has trained a clientele base consisting of everyday people all the way to professional athletes currently in the NFL, Mike is someone I would go to for advice and knowledge when my own didn’t suffice…It’s hard to let someone else train those you care about, but take it as a sign I would happily let Mike be in charge of my very own family’s well being”

“Mike has not only been an insightful conversation partner who has pushed me to study different training modalities & authors, but he is one of the very few people who can work effectively with various populations ranging from elderly general population to tactical operations to aspiring young athletes.”

As a college student who values their health and wellness, it is very important to me that I continue to prioritize my workout routine. When juggling work and school it can be difficult to keep my priorities in place and stay on top of my goals. Mike has done a wonderful job of working with me online and sending me my updated workouts through the Trainerize app. Who says your personal​ trainer has to live in the same state as you? I highly suggest MJT Training, because he has helped me learn how to prioritize my health without having to sacrifice a vast amount of my time.

…He took all the time that was needed to show me how to train the proper way…I started out only being able to do 95lbs Squat, 95 bench, 135 deadlift, 55 overhead press, all 3 sets of 5. With Mikes help I have been able to improve my numbers to 145 squat, 140 bench, 235 deadlift, 85 overhead press, all 3 sets of 5. I have also improved on my pull-ups where at first I could barely even do 1, but now I can do several…all in about 2 months. If you want someone who is going to be there for you, and make sure you are getting the proper training to make you stronger, use MJT.

My job requires me to be on-call 24/7 and travel often. Mike tailors my workouts around my schedule and what tools I might have access to. I highly recommend him.

Prior to MJT I had hit a plateau in my normal weight training routine, bench press 245lbs,deadlifts 295, squats 285, overhead presses 135. I was maxing out without progress. I started working with Mike & got outta my comfort zone, which broke my mental block. My goal when I started training with Mike was to increase strength & to fine tune my technique.
After 12 weeks I saw progress in the lifts mentioned above. I now max out, bench press 270, deadlifts 335, squats 300, overhead press 155.

I knew how to push myself hard and stay consistent with a diet and exercise program. I was also constantly hitting growth plateaus while not dealing with a host of annoying injuries and illnesses. MJT Training has helped me push through plateaus, injuries, and other life setbacks while increasing my deadlifts by 17%, my bench press by 12%, and my pull-ups by 100% in two months. I highly recommend giving MJT Training a call!

“Mike is a great trainer. He really takes the time when writing out your program. He always seems to find the right balance of feeling like completely dying but also feeling like you are getting stronger after every workout. I would highly recommend him to anyone thinking about getting a trainer.”

Training under Mike has been exceptional. This is the most professional and knowledgeable trainer I’ve personally experienced. Not only have I gained a lot of knowledge, but I’ve progressed in the amount of weight I can lift as well as muscle gain. This is the first time in my life that I’ve actually looked in the mirror and have seen results that I’m happy with. I can actually see the results of the hard work. I would highly recommend MJT Training!

Mike is a very attentive and responsive trainer. He knows how to approach and motivate his clients in the way they need. I’ve had great results in the few short months that I’ve been a client. I’m stronger than I’ve been and I credit that to his knowledge and ability to motivate. I’d encourage anyone that’s looking to be healthier to give Mike a call. He’s an excellent partner and guide for the entire process. 5 stars. Would repeat.

“My time training with Mike was short but the goals were met. I came to Mike wanting to simply increase my strength as much as I could in a short time frame. Mike's training platform was easy to follow and any questions I had he was there to help. When there were obstacles that affected my training, he was able to adjust the training so the end goal was still met. All in all, very knowledgeable and professional trainer. He will help you become a better you.”

“I have been training with MJT Training for almost two years. I'm building for strongman competitions and Mike has guided me to goals and points that I haven't seen in years or never saw before. Very knowledgeable for whatever goal one may have.”

“I was reluctant to get a trainer because I thought I already knew what I was doing. But after seeing Mike work with his clients I decided to give it a shot for a few months since he seemed to know his stuff. I'm still working with him a year and a half later and making progress every week. Since iv been working with him we have added about 40 lbs to my bench 100 to the squat and over 150 lbs to my deadlift. I would recommend Mike to anyone looking to build strength or just trying to be more fit in general.”

“I found Mike after looking to get back into fitness after a almost 8 yr break since HS sports. I work in healthcare so Mike makes sense since he specializes in working with EMS, police, and healthcare workers. He is an honest guy who will shoot it to you straight with your goals and how achievable they are. He is extremely knowledgeable with workouts and techniques. Mike has helped me get into the best shape that I’ve been in for almost a decade and you could not find a better coach to help you with your fitness goals.”

Coach Mike is the best and I appreciate everything he’s done for me. He is extremely professional and motivating. I went through a few hardships and was able to get the support I needed and the push to stay on top of my training. I recommend Coach Mike to anyone that’s looking to start their fitness journey or level up. He is well qualified and I really enjoyed the app he uses for the customized workout plan. Coach Mike is a former police officer and that made me feel more confident to trust him with my fitness journey. Try him out and you won’t regret it!

I did my own gym programing for years and I’ve been working with MJT (Mike) for 7 months. The results in the last 7 months with MJT far surpass any results I was getting on my own. Mike knows when you should push and when to back off. If you are thinking about hiring Mike, just do it and thank me in 6 months.

I had never gone to the gym before and was a little nervous about how to do it all, but Mike made every my step very easy! He explains what we are doing and why, which muscles should work when you do a certain exercise, and he monitors how you do it. He also gives advice on your diet and asks each time how you are physically feeling today and how much you slept, and adjusts your exercise accordingly. Mike is very helpful and professional, I highly recommend him.

Been working with Mike for a few years now! I absolutely love it! Been an athlete my whole life but wanted more guidance with my work outs to hit more personal goals and Mike has helped so much! During the pandemic when all the gyms were closed, Mike used what little equipment I had at my house and body workouts to adjust my workout plan! He’s always willing to answer whatever questions you may have about anything fitness and even diet related! I love the app he uses to post the workouts. There’s how to videos to make sure you’re doing the workout correctly!
