Since day 1, Mike has been extremely in tune to my fitness goals. He sat down with me for a long time and took the time to learn everything about where I was in terms of my health. Since then, he has perfectly created a circuit for me that is challenging, while at the same time extremely rewarding. He is actively there with me while I am working. He pays attention and adapts to the way I respond to each exercise so that I have the the most tailored experience possible. Not only that, outside of the gym, he will text me to see that I’m maintaining healthy practices at home. It is sometimes hard to stay accountable to yourself when it comes to your health, but since I have been working with Mike, I have learned how to be more conscious of the decisions I make. I can tell from my sessions as well as his interactions with others that Mike takes a personal stake in each one of his clients. Thanks to Mike, for the first time in my life, an hour of strenuous physical activity is actually fun!

Mike is able to create a unique workout for me each time. This is no small feat since I have been training with Mike for the past six months. During the sessions, we focus on strengthening and toning. The circuits he creates are fun, yet challenging. Today, my body is noticeably stronger. I am able to accomplish multiple reps of things I couldn't even do one of when we started. Mike really cares that his clients have a good workout and it shows!

Mike Hofman is a master trainer. We've been working together for about four months and I am about to sign up for another series of one-on-one training sessions with him. Mike's knowledge about exercise physiology is extensive. He also has a varied repertoire of exercises that keep me motivated. I am sixty years old and in pretty good shape. He knows how to challenge me. Over the years, I've worked with four other trainers, almost all of them were good. Mike stands out, though, because of his expertise and experience, and for the obvious concern he has for his clients. I fully recommend him.

Dear Mike, A quick note to let you know how much I appreciate the training routine you developed for me and the encouragement you provided. I am now using weights and resistance at twice the level where I was when we started and I actually feel stronger at age 78 than I ever felt before at any other time in my long life. I'm not sure what the limits are on how much stronger I might get, but if I can keep going this way, I'll be a perfect specimen of health by the time I drop dead. And that is surely the best way to go. Many thanks, Sheridan

I came to Mike with a contradictory goal. I wanted to build muscle mass and get ripped while in the same time increase my stamina and agility. Though he mentioned my goals were contradictory and hard to do at once. I lost around 13 pounds and became stronger than I have ever been in a month and a half. Mike is highly knowledgeable in what he does and knew how to work with my previous injuries (ACL sprain). He's a great motivator and constantly kept surprising me on how strong I am and to never limit myself, which I believe is a great trait to have as a personal trainer.

The training worked brilliantly. My legs never ached or got tired. Neither did my arms, which usually happens the times when I have to pole myself uphill. My confidence was up and I skied more confidently than ever. I went down the black diamond and (a couple) double black diamonds fearlessly. Thank you!!!! X-country skiing today.

I'd met Mike once before and was a good interaction so thought would give it a try. From the first day of our training, I knew I made the right choice. What I noticed from the beginning was Mike's professionalism and dedication to his work. Mike started out with measurements of my weight, body fat and other metrics. He then created a workout plan that would burn fat and build muscle effectively. Then he developed a diet for me that would regulate the amount of total calories and carb intake that synched with the workouts. It would be intense: we would work out 5 times a week and each workout would be a smoker. I was to take a picture of every meal and send it to him to keep me honest. I was to weigh myself every day and email him to track our progress. I was to take a weekly picture to show progress and areas for improvement. And so I did all of this and Mike was all over it with suggestions and encouragement. Another thing that impressed me about Mike was his talent for making a fun workout. I never did the same circuit twice, never got bored and always had an awesome workout. Mike is a thoughtful, funny guy with lots of interests so there was a ton of common ground and banter in between sets of gym rage. And the results? In the 8 weeks I trained with Mike, I lost 17 lbs, 2 inches in the waist, and body fat percentage went from 20% to 13%. I also increased in strength and stamina throughout that time. Back pain is no longer there. I'm continuing to train with Mike, although not as crazy, with the goal of packing on muscle and strength. It's going awesome. Don't delay in booking a time with Mike!

I have been working with Mike for the last four months for both nutrition advice and workout training. The things about Mike that stand out to me compared to other trainers is that he is knowledgeable as well as passionate about what he does, keeps things simple and is has a positive personality. Before starting out, he took the time to sit down with me and understand my goals and objectives. He is approachable, friendly and down-to-earth. Most importantly, I have been able to see results right away after working with Mike. He helped develop a comprehensive plan for me involving diet, cardio and strength training that has allowed me to lose 15 lbs, drop body fat% and grow stronger in the gym simultaneously in a short span of time. His workouts are always challenging, well-rounded, and focused. He frequently checks-in on how you are doing, is supportive, encouraging, and helps problem-solve issues like injuries, diet restrictions etc. He is available by text way beyond the 60 min training session which goes a long way when you are still new to the whole process. In short, I am very pleased with my experience working with Mike and would definitely recommend him as a trainer:)

Mike is the best! I can tell he really cares about my ability to succeed, not just in the gym but in general through him encouraging me to send pics of my food and track my progress outside of the gym. He is encouraging, but also empathetic and always is knowledgeable about the limits of my ability (and adjusts my workouts in accordance with that). Unlike other trainers I’ve had in the past, he makes me feel confident in my ability to succeed, which has definitely changed my lifestyle as a whole. Would 100% recommend.

I loved working with Mike both in the gym and out at the park. He provided a variety of circuits and was great emotional support in addition to the physical training. He knew how to figure out what was right for me that day in the moment and was always able to adapt if needed. If you put in the work, you’ll see the results- and Mike can help you get there. Mike is a great find- I highly recommend!
