HOW CAN WE HELP YOU?

SPORTS MEDICINE

​Our athletic trainers will evaluate, diagnosis, and treat your history of pain and injury. We will help reverse whatever has prevented you from getting back to your favorite workouts, sports, and activities.

If you are suffering from chronic pain, a current surgery or injury from sports, or a history of orthopedic surgical complications, then consider our SPORTS MEDICINE program to get started.

PERSONAL TRAINING

​We offer a 100% private personal training experience so you can focus entirely on your health & fitness goals. Every session is a full 60-MINUTES as we focus on you, not the clock. Your success is our number one priority, and we will find the best path for you to achieve it.

If you are new to exercise, tired of workout injuries derailing progress, or looking to break out of your habitual routine, then consider our PERSONAL TRAINING program to get started.

TRAIN WITH MIKE

Strengthening your MIND & BODY is one of the most humbling journeys a human-being can experience. It is something I have dedicated my entire life to yet continue to be enlightened by. As an athletic trainer... Over the past 12 years I have guided individuals through numerous injury recoveries including complex spine & brain injuries, hopeless chronic pain, and nearly every orthopedic injury & condition in-between. My time working with traumatic injuries laid the framework for the philosophy and training methods applied at Brain Meets Brawn. As a personal trainer... I will help you find the true meaning of feeling STRONG! Through countless hours invested in the gym I have experienced several different genres of fitness and believe in an all-encompassing approach to your health, fitness, and nutrition programming. With your fitness I will incorporate elements of traditional strength training, calisthenics, yoga, and more! With your nutrition you will embrace the importance of balance while breaking down bad habits and building up the good.
