Hey! I’m Mike. Aka, Goose.
I’m a personal trainer. I’m actually a Certified strength and conditioning specialist but that’s word vomit to most people. It means I’ve been involved in studying the human body and I studied it in college, too. You’re likely not too worried about the difference. Other than maybe realizing I’ve been doing this for a while, and have invested serious time, effort and gained a bunch of knowledge about this stuff.
I’ve been in the fitness industry for 15+ years. I work hard to bring laughter, fun and structure to something a lot of people tolerate - health and fitness.
I find a lot of joy in my work. It took me some time to realize that the biggest changes in someone’s health don’t come from a perfect workout or nutrition plan. They come from creating the space to learn, grow, and figure things out together.
Yes, I’m passionate about fitness—and I’m still trying to dunk a basketball—but the real work is creating a space where you and I can be honest about where you are, what you want, and what it will take to improve your health.
My job isn’t just to tell you what to do. It’s to be your partner in figuring out how to build a healthier, stronger life that actually fits you. I strive to be a beacon for growth, openness and push you to become a little better each time we meet. I understand life can be tough but my entire goal in starting a fitness business is to unlock fun, enjoyment and a sense of pride in activity. Far too much of our world is centered around sedentary comfort - TV, social media, the Gram, TikTok, wherever AI is taking this world. Don’t Get me wrong - they’re amazing and really useful tools. But the coolest tool of all is finding something active that can keep you active and healthy for the long term.
My promise to you - I meet you where you’re at physically, adapt to who you are, and give you tools that you can keep for life.
Things I like to do, personally - Hang with my kid. Play sports. Hike with my partner. Spend time with the family. Run. Get faster and stronger.
Who I Work With
I’ve worked with professional athletes, CEOS, desk jockeys, truck drivers, high adrenaline professionals who have a base jumping suspension kink, my brothers and my friends.
A wide range, but my clients are typically:
People who want to improve their health
People who want to move more but kind of don’t like the gym or find it easier to have someone meet them where they’re at
People who have a positive attitude and are looking to add movement to their lives
If you have a history of orthopedic injuries and still want to perform at a high level, you’re in the right place.
Education & Credentials
I’m one of those guys who knows their subject matter pretty well but definitely learn more through curiosity. If I don’t feel confident about something, I’ll look it up. Or I’ll hook you up with someone who I trust to provide you with the answers to your questions. That said, here’s my education history:
Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology – Michigan State University
Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) – National Strength and Conditioning Association
Precision Nutrition Certified
Functional Movement Screen Certified
Pain Free Performance Specialist
Over the past 10+ years, I’ve coached clients in homes, parks, and performance facilities — helping them realize how amazing their bodies can be.
