-Renowned Fitness Expert

If you are looking to improve your golf game, or simply move better and feel better you have found the right place. Golf fitness expert Michael Katz has all the credentials and skills to assess a clients current condition, and create a specific program tailored to the individual. I’ve worked with and educated thousands of trainers throughout my career. Mike is a true gem, and whoever trains with Mike should consider themselves lucky. From his professionalism, to his work ethic, to his willingness to learn, Mike truly is the total package. He can work with all levels - whether it to be an athlete looking to get to that competitive edge, someone overcoming an injury, or someone just simply wanting to age gracefully. He has the expertise, knowledge, and patience to get his clients the results they are looking for. If there was 6 stars I would have chosen that one.

This literally changed my world. Three years ago, I had chronic back issues, herniated discs, digestive issues, depression and a weak core due to multiple abdominal surgeries. After three months training with Mike, I had no pain, lost 13 pounds, tightened my core and was happy and healthy with a new outlook on life. I worked with Mike seasonally for 4 years. Mike's knowledge about nutrition,anatomy,health and getting results quickly are a tribute to his determination, his Masters Degree in Health Science and his innovative approach to training. He is tough but understanding. He is a great listener and will always push you to your limit but he demands constant feedback as to how you are feeling. Mike is a trainer who gets results. He is admired by clients and colleagues and is an inspiration to us all.

-Virtual Nutrition Client

I worked with Mike for 60 days on developing a flexible nutrition plan that supported my current lifestyle. During these 60 days, I lost body fat AND gained muscle mass; that is almost unheard of! Since the 60 days passed, I have been able to easily maintain this physique. Mike took my physical activity, my mental well-being, my social activities, and my daily routines into consideration in order to develop a nutritional guideline that supported my goals. Not only did Mike calculate nutritional baselines that I could easily follow and maintain, but he provided weekly check-ins and constant encouragement and advice throughout the process. Mike was very professional but treated me like a friend, always making sure I was comfortable and feeling well. I highly recommend Mike for any fitness and/or nutrition-related needs!

Michael is an amazing young man. We started working together about three years ago. I had certain goals. Specifically to build some body strength and develop some muscle mass. Michael patiently began a program for me. His knowledge level, his professionalism, and personality all work together to make the experiences with him pleasant. It’s not all easy. Michael pushes but also encourages.  I have made significant progress At 71 I am more fit than at 61 or 51. I am stronger and have more confidence in my abilities I consider Michael a mentor and a friend!!

I have known Mike since 2013, initially observing him as he trained others and later as my personal fitness trainer for the past 3 years. Throughout my long life, I have worked with many trainers and physical therapists for a variety of injuries.  Because I was trained to be a performing dancer, I am aware of the importance of knowledge based training and injury prevention.  Without reservation, I acknowledge that Mike has been consistently my best trainer in every aspect.  

Many of my trainers seemed to assume that the exercises that made them stand outs in their sport would work on most anyone else.  I assume they never had a serious injury.  
Mike's kinesiology and knowledge of anatomy are superb. As I have slight rotator tears in both shoulders, ACL knee issues and some back issues, working with me challenges him to modify exercises for limitations.  No two of my weekly sessions are very similar.  He changes it up to keep both my muscle memory very active and my 80 year old mind involved  He listens to me, remembers what I say and incorporates the feedback into workouts.  To accommodate my small structure, he provides foam blocks and other modifications.

Additionally, I appreciate that unlike most trainers, he gives me undivided attention, adjusting the angles of knees, elbows, etc.  Other trainers gaze about the room much of the time once they know their client.

Mike brings absolutely no personal baggage.   The lesson is prepared in advance; he is upbeat, optimistic and dependable.  He is a professional.

His relocation is my personal loss and will be another gym's blessing.  Mike will be greatly missed by many people.

WHAT PEOPLE SAY

"SHOWS INTEREST IN
CLIENT PROGRESS"

Michael Katz has been a great personal trainer for me. I came to the gym just out of physical therapy due to surgery for a broken leg. Michael took the time to look at the exercise regimen from my physical therapist in order to understand the limitation of my injury so that he could guide me accordingly. During our sessions Michael adjusted exercises and monitored the pain/stress placed on the area of my injury. He asked about the particular range of motion and strength issues I was encountering and then designed specific exercises to address those issues always with an attentive eye to the right balance of challenge and discomfort management. Michael is knowledgeable. He explains the intention of each exercise and also gives sound nutrition advice. Many of the exercises he teaches actively engage multiple muscle groups at once. Michael is encouraging and shows an interest in his clients’ progress.
