““I’ve always been an athlete in some way shape or form but I was limited by doing purely Olympic lifts. After speaking with Mike I decided to give him a shot to see if he could help me with my goal of getting leaner. He introduced me to Kettlebells which is my new passion in exercising, more than that though he offered tremendous amount of motivation on top of the motivation that I brought to the table. He’s very knowledgeable in regards to how the body moves and how to setup a workout program that will use your entire body. Mike is good at what he does and I’m grateful to have trained and learned from him!”

I wanted to take some time to give you some positive feedback about Mike Culbertson. I have really enjoyed my personal training sessions with him. His style really fits my own in terms of the right mix of tough love, motivation, and encouragement.
I am a complete neophyte in terms of exercising, but he is a great teacher of new exercises – telling me how as well as showing me how. Appealing to my sense of wanting to know why, he explains in layman’s terms which muscles I am working on and what it will do to help me be stronger. More importantly he allows me the time to self-correct, commends me when I do something right, and encourages me gently when he knows I can do better. He has helped me attain all the goals I set forth at the beginning of our training sessions: I feel stronger, have more energy, and I am more fit than I have ever been. He has helped me to build self-confidence and my self-esteem. The compliments frommy coworkers and family haven’t hurt either.

Despite being a collegiate athlete and longtime yogi, I spent years overcoming significant setbacks with my health and managing chronic back pain. When I was finally on the other side, I was loaded with energy, desperate to get strong, to find self-esteem and establish a regular routine at the gym again, but I felt wildly overwhelmed, intimidated and confused both on where to start and what approach might be right for me. I hated cardio, I will only run if someone is chasing me and weightlifting scared me.
After taking one TRX class with Mike, I was instantly drawn to his passion, energy, commitment and knowledge and we began working together, one-on-one. For the last 3 years, I have seen Mike at least once a week and through his instruction, encouragement and constant challenges, I am STRONGER, more CONFIDENT and more FIT than I have ever been in my entire life and thanks to Mike – I learned I absolutely LOVE weight lifting. I love that Mike believes in me and sees my potential even when I can’t and even after 3 years together he STILL gives me new challenges each week that push me and excite me – our time together has been truly PRICELESS in my health and healing journey!

My trainer is fantastic! He is generous with his time and my day is always better after having my sessions with him. I met Mike at a local athletic club and began a successful work-out regimen with him. Covid interrupted this and after quite some time, he was kind enough to contact me when he began scheduling sessions at his home location. I have never felt healthier, stronger or more fit. At 71, that says quite a bit about his commitment to me and my well-being.
I recommend him enthusiastically.

I met Mike at The Belmont Athletic Club several years ago following a recommendation of my close friend. After initial evaluation of my functional status and lifestyles I started training at least once a week and continue up until now. It is one of the best decisions I made related to my health and the sense of wellbeing. Mike motivates me, makes each workout session
challenging and never boring. As a physician I am aware of the quality of instructions given and the safety of training. I can honestly say Mike knows exercise physiology! I would recommend him to anyone looking for a professional trainer who knows his craft, has a great attitude, sense of humor and motivates his clients.

I have been working with Mike over the last year after having worked with multiple different trainers over the years. His training style and tailored routines have given me results that I have never previously experienced. Before I came to Mike, I always needed to stop and restart my routines as I have lower back problems. This has not happen once since we started and my back feels better than it has in a really long time. His knowledge of how the body works and what to work on has been a game changer for me. The guy is legit!
