Do you want to improve strength, muscle tone, or agility? Would you like to improve at a specific sport (golf, tennis baseball, softball, hockey, etc.)? Today, Mike taught me how to correct a flawed throwing motion which will help me in men’s softball. Mike helps people of all ages, families, super moms, aspiring college athletes, and seniors like me. Call Mike right now to find out how he can help you, a family member, or an entire team: (800) 305-6652.

Easy to schedule with Coach Mike, he also gave me a run down of what they worked on during the training session.

Mike is an AMAZING coach. I have been an endurance athlete most of my life across various sports and have seen many doctors, physical therapists, running coaches, cycling coaches, strength coaches, and other specialists over the past 25 years. Mike is absolutely the best. He is easy-going and personable, and he has a gift for knowing what exercises, intensity, and frequency are needed to get results. I could tell after just one session that Mike knew his stuff and would be able to help me reach my potential. Thank you Coach Mike!

Mike is a fantastic coach. He knows his stuff and he knows how to get results. He is really good at seeing where you are currently and taking you from there to where you want to be. I am not the person that enjoys going to the gym but with Mike I genuinely had a lot of fun working out and I can definitely feel it working. Id highly recommend working with Mike to anyone that wants to achieve their fitness goals, especially if they struggle with enjoying the gym.

Thanks for the recommendation Zack. We love that you enjoyed your fitness session. It is true, the gym is a hard place to enjoy at times. We pride ourselves in making it a fun place for #SuperMoms , #SuperDads , and #GameChangers! See ya soon at The Forge.

My family hired Mike and the Forge to help my parents (and especially my dad) navigate mobility and aging issues several years ago. Mike helped us with a program that has put us ahead of the curve! The exercises and coaching paid nearly instant and lasting dividends, and even to this day, that 15-30 of targeted morning exercise is a cornerstone of his quality of life and ability to still do almost everything on his own. EVERY person over the age of 65 should do this, and the Forge is a great opportunity for those that desire to maintain or improve their mobility, balance, and strength!!!

We were looking for individualized baseball training for our son and, as a SuperMom, I was also looking to get in shape. After the first session, our baseball player immediately noticed better and faster athletic movement. Coach Mike does a GREAT job at getting on the same page with his athletes and adults during their sessions. He has connected with our athlete and unlocked his motivation to get better. I would recommend The Forge for anyone with an athlete that needs that extra motivation to get the work done!
