After a fulfilling 37-year career as an engineer, manager, and executive; I became a Certified Personal Trainer to help others feel at home in a gym and get the most out of their workouts. It took me years to realize how important it is to workout properly. I'd love to help you get the most out of the time you spend in the gym, feel more at home in the gym, and achieve your best-ever fitness level. I’ve lived an active life, exercised regularly, played soccer and Ultimate Frisbee for decades, became an avid cyclist later in life, and ate a standard low-fat diet until eventually becoming a vegan (out of necessity.) Like my father, I battle a tenacious chronic disease. Surviving two heart attacks, 9 stents, and a quadruple by-pass; I know first-hand what its like to battle Coronary Artery Disease (CAD) - the #1 Killer in the U.S. If you are battling this disease, I'd especially like to help you! Beyond my basic PT certification, I also have specialized certification from NASM in the area of Senior Fitness, and I'm nearing completion of NASM's Corrective Exercise Specialty certification. These two specializations help me better serve the needs of SWFL's residents and visitors. My passion is to help you exercise safely and effectively, make good lifestyle choices, and maintain a strong functionally-fit body at any age. Contact me for a FREE consultation.

Testimonials about Mike's training  ...

Mike's client, Jeff, had this to say about Mike's training and the Gym ... "Health and Strength gym is awesome and I totally recommend it. I am 17 years old and this is how I lost over 150 pounds. My mother and I started going there 2 years ago, and at the time I was 386 pounds. As soon as we walked in the door we were greeted very nicely by owners Mike & Carol. They gave us a tour of the gym and showed us what it had and where everything was. Soon after we joined, Mike started training my mom and I, and he worked with us for over 8 months. I am now 236 pounds and I feel stronger, healthier and just overall better than every before. If it were not for Mike and his gym I may never have lost the weight, and I'd be at a huge risk of diabetes or heart issues. Thanks to Health and Strength gym I no longer have to worry about those things. I still workout at this gym 4 days a week and I enjoy every bit of it!!!  There is just no better gym in Cape Coral, everyone here is extremely friendly, they have the best equipment, great hours, and I am so grateful for everything they've done and continue to do for us. Thanks Mike & Carol!
