Michael W.

I have been a strength coach and certified trainer since 1995. My personal background in sports is high school lettering in football, baseball and wrestling. I competed as a bodybuilder in 1990, winning Mr. Teen Pa., competed in beach doubles volleyball, and made brown belt in USA Goju and won some tournaments.

I hold a powerlifting record for NY State in the deadlift (2008 AAU), and also perform 2-3 100+ mile cycle rides each year. In business, I owned and operated a personal training center for eight and a half years and now own a full health club, since 2008. Cumulatively, I have logged over 30,000 hours of training session work. I also teach personal training at a local community college.

In achievements, I have coached 16 NY State Record holders in the sport of powerlifting and have coached 5 National record holders, all in the Amateur Athletic Union(AAU). I have a Bachelor's Degree and am working on my Master's Degree in Nutrition. I am certified by the following: National Strength and Conditioning Association(NSCA)-Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS); American College of Sports Medicine(ASCM)-Health Fitness Specialist (HFS); USA Weightlifing (USAW); Poliquin International Certification Program(PICP) Certified Strength Coach(3); Poliquin Biosignature Nutrition Certification; American Red Cross CPR and Lifeguard.

I work with athletes to make them better. Better is often defined by balancing physiques which make for better performance and less injury. I work first to correct the imbalances and then work for overall or specific athletic enhancement. I coach athletes, kids, and those looking to get in better shape on diet and supplements.
