I’ve been working with Michael for almost 2 years and have been amazed by what he’s done with me – in short, this guy’s worth his weight in gold and then some!
I came to Michael somewhat reluctantly on the advice of my doctor, who had been working with me on a long-term, lower back problem. I have a birth defect (an extra lumbar vertebra) that has resulted in a life-time of compounded structural imbalances that severely limited my range of motion and led to frequent bouts of excruciating pain. My doctor told me that since the problem was untreatable, my only hope was to ‘unlearn’ the coping mechanism my body had developed and to strengthen my musculature to help support my back.
I was hesitant to hit the gym for fear of making matters worse and knew if I did, that I would need an expert. I went through three other, highly recommended trainers during a long search before I found Michael and my only regret is that I didn’t find him sooner. Michael really took the time to understand my issue and within a short time had me on a gradual road to recovery. More importantly, he helped me better understand on own body – he literally straighten out a life-time of bad habits.
Although my back hasn’t been a problem for more than a year now, I’m still working with Michael because I was so impressed by the results I was getting. As I shifted my goals from back-stabilization to a more typical routine of strength training/body fat reduction, Michael remained as focused as ever on helping me achieve my objective – in fact, I can honestly say I’m in the best shape of my life and have more energy than I’ve had in years – not bad for someone who’s pushing 50!
Beyond getting better results than I hoped for, I’ve continued working with Michael because he’s simply a great guy to be with. He knows how to push me without ever being pushy. He manages to always be professional but is also a blast to be with – I always walk away from our sessions with a new wine recommendation, a fun restaurant to try out or some other tidbit that makes me look forward to a hard workout. More than anything else, he’s clearly invested in my well-being and success – and what’s not to love about that?!
Michael one of the best things to come my way in a long time and you’d be well served to check what he can do for you.

When I met Michael for my evaluation, I grilled him about his qualifications, discussed my goals and how to realistically reach them. His positive personality and answers clinched the deal. I meet with Michael once a week for an hour and the results have been amazing. Michael is so patient, motivating and knowledgeable in the physics of changing the body that I have no reservations recommending anyone looking for the best trainer in San Francisco.

I’ve been working with Michael for about a year and a half and think he is great. His workouts are tailored to my specific needs and goals, have a progression to them and ultimately have helped me meet my goals. I find Michael to be a pleasure to work with as he is extremely knowledgeable and is more than willing to share that knowledge. Personality-wise Michael also excels. He is smart, funny, talkative and has a variety of interests, which is really important since you spend so much time together. I would recommend Michael to anyone looking for a really good trainer.

Michael is attentive, focused, and knowledgeable. He has helped me transition from fearing the gym to looking forward to the next muscle building session. The workouts are always challenging and creatively organized–you never know what the next set will bring. He knows when to push and when to stop if you’re fatigued. An excellent all-around motivator!

I’ve been working out with Michael for over a year now and I am totally recommending him to anyone that needs a one on one trainer. I am lazy, self diagnosed ADD, and just not like sweating at all, but Michael has been very patient, attentive, creative with routines, and had me lost major inches and toned up. He listens to what you want and need but totally is NOT a pushover. He has a good work ethic where while your with him, you’re his only focus regardless of how whinny or lazy you get. When you’re with him, you’re working out! Bottom line, if you want results and paying for one one attention, you’d want Michael!!!! Besides, he smells good and very easy on the eyes, what else would you want?

Michael is great. He is very knowledgeable and professional. The best thing about Michael is his temperament – he knows when to push hard and when to dial it back, just like a good trainer should. I highly recommend him Anyone.
