Fitness With Mike - San Jose, California

Excellent client care. They genuinely invest time customizing your plans, (both meal, workout and recovery) that fits your needs and specific goals and make adjustments depending on how your body responds to get the best results possible. Definitely appreciate how focused the trainers are on this. They truly want to help each individual. They aren’t lazy about it, which is my favorite part. The return on investment is most definitely worth it. It’s been about 3 years for me with fitclinic, I’ve had the opportunity to try out almost all the trainers, plans, services, group classes, recovery, etc and I enjoyed them all. At one point or another all the services help my progress significantly.

When I inquired I was met with The Fit Clinic which I now understand is Mike’s business. The Fit Clinic caters to more aspects of fitness than I originally planned for. However I was able to talk to Mike and figure out what was appropriate for me and the program has been working great for me.

Although I didn’t utilize the mobility or nutrition coaching, it’s convenient and notable that they were available as options.

My goals have evolved since beginning here. Thank you Mike!

A little over 6 months ago (02/2023) I met with Mike. He gave me a reality check of my body fat percentage and weight ratio. Since that day, every week, once a week I have met with Mike for my hour-long training sessions. While working with Mike on my fitness goals he pushes me beyond what I believed were my limits. I am also learning what foods to cut out of my diet and how to properly exercise. Not only has he helped change my lifestyle to a healthier one, but he has become a mentor, a true friend and helped me boost my self-confidence. Amazing experience and results achieved. I highly recommended working out with Mike. He makes you feel like a celebrity with a personal coach. 😎

Yesterday I totally rocked my ride at Cyclebar. Overall, I came in 4th out of a class of over 30 participants. What does that have to do with The Fit Clinic, you may ask? Everything!

The Fit Clinic has changed my life- and no, I’m not being dramatic. I am so much stronger, healthier, have more energy, and am more confident than I was before. I have been training here for a little over a year and a half now and have lost over 20 pounds of fat and have gained 7 pounds of muscle. Mike, the owner, does my nutrition and workout plan. He is incredibly knowledgeable. I have some special dietary needs and he knew all about them and how to navigate them. If you do what he says, you will see results!

For training, I train with Kathy and Kenny. Kathy is an amazing yoga instructor as well as strength trainer. I’m not very flexible and I’ve learned so much through training core and mobility with her. She’s also the cofounder and is responsible for a lot of the ambience and character of the place. She makes it feel like a family! I do strength training with Kenny. He knows his stuff and is great at knowing how hard to push you. He is equal parts challenging and encouraging. He's really wise and helps me to find balance. All the trainers there are part coach and part therapist. They challenge, motivate you, help you with set backs, and encourage you to keep going!

My experience has been with Kathy, Kenny, and Mike, but every trainer there that I have had conversations with (I'm looking at you, Chris and Andy) are amazing! They are all dedicated and it feels like a family.

So back to Cyclebar. During the race portions of the class, I kept going neck and neck with another rider and he would beat me every time. I would come in 3rd or 4th and he would always beat me by one. However, at the end of class, I was overall 4th place on the leaderboard and was surprised to find he was 13th. Why? Because thanks to the Fit Clinic I have strength, endurance, and stamina! Instead of needing a lot of recovery time between races, I just kept going. Once upon a time it was difficult to do a 45 minute class. I couldn't wait until it was over. Now- resistance? Turn it up!, I kept going like it was nothing because I have the strength, stamina, and endurance, all thanks to The Fit Clinic.

If you are on the fence—don’t hesitate. Give it a try! You won’t regret it.

I have been working with Mike for a bit over 2 months now and I have seen amazing results. Mike is a very detail oriented coach who puts a lot of effort and care into everyone of his clients programs, he also has helped me learned a lot in time Ive been working with him I definitely have not trained with this level of intensity before especially while on a prep phase. I would definitely recommend him to anyone who is looking to achieve any health goals.

I travel 50% of the time for work - so with the current lockdown, I thought it'd be good to utilize my time being local to work with a trainer. I contacted Mike based on online reviews and mutual connections, and am glad I did.

Mike taught me about portion control and nutrition, and with a disciplined cadence of food intake - especially before working out, I find that the timing and level of my energy is optimized. I was able to lift heavier.

Mike also coached me with new exercises, and helped with achieving efficiency - I was able to lift just 3 days a week and maintain consistent results.

Mike is not just technically knowledgeable in what he does; he is also empathetic, flexible, a great communicator, and is able to establish a mutually respectful, casual relationship which led me to be able to look forward to our sessions, and achieve results.

The motivation to want to get and stay in shape is always intrinsic - but a great coach like Mike can definitely help.

I have personally trained with Mike for over 6 months. He is a hard working trainer who focusses on the overall fitness of his clients. He is highly professional and always motivated me to go for more during our fitness sessions. Apart from our sessions, he is always available for diet consultations as well. Highly recommend.

I worked with Mike over the course of a year and a half, and I cannot recommend him enough. I signed up for the remote personal training/nutrition counseling package. Thanks to Mike, although I was on the road for over 8 months of the past year and a half, I still managed to lose 10 pounds and completely change my body composition. I am more body confident now than I've ever been. I also learned invaluable training and nutrition skills. Highly recommended!
