Mike has truly been an asset in my fitness development. He takes his time with you and offers suggestions that help you shade a couple more pounds. I wanted to get stronger and more tone and Mike did just that. Truly amazing at what he does to reach to fitness goals

He has a unique basketball mind which allows him to teach concepts that can be applied in all levels and ages of basketball. He also has great knowledge in terms of fitness, and the mental aspect to the game allowing him to help build a complete player. If you are looking for someone to improve your kid’s game while at the same further their passion for the sport, I highly recommend Coach Mike
Vera Gjorglieva (Testimonial)
Kids were in camp summer 2021 again. The same as last year, they had so much fun. This year coach Mike Cruickshank was the favourite one. I have never seen them so excited to go every day. Also, electronic devices were not allowed at all, which was great for kids to socialize. Keep up good work!
