Meet Coach Mike!

Certified Strength and Conditioning Coach, Level I USA Track & Field Coach

Mike has been coaching since 2005 after getting his Bachelor’s degree in Kinesiology from Michigan State University. In addition to his fitness credentials, he is also a Poliquin Biosignature Practitioner.

He was a collegiate soccer player at Michigan State who expanded his athleticism into endurance events. His accomplishments are impressive! He has completed over 20 marathons, including Boston twice, and finishing Chicago at 2 hours and 51 minutes. He achieved a sub-11-hour finish in his first Ironman at Ironman Cozumel in 2010.

Mike is a 3-time HYROX finisher, placing 2nd in his age group. He completed the Leadville 100-mile mountain bike race, and was a pacer for the 100-mile run race.

He’s also competed on Team USA in the 2012 Age Group World Triathlon Championships in New Zealand and in 2013 he took first place in the Chicago Olympic Triathlon.

He has graciously earned the title of “Fast and Fit Mike.”

Mike’s personal life also keeps him busy: He’s a husband and father of twin boys, he’s a coach at Life Time, hosts one of Kansas City’s largest run clubs, and continues to train for his next big goal!
