1-on-1 Coaching · Mercer County, Ohio

Your body.
Rebuilt on purpose.

One-on-one coaching for anyone ready to build real muscle, drop the excess, and build the discipline to keep it that way — whether you're 16 or 70, and no matter where you're starting from.

Sound familiar?

You've tried the generic plan.
It didn't stick.

You downloaded the app. You followed the plan off Instagram. You did the free trial at three different gyms. It worked for a few weeks — then the soreness faded, the motivation went with it, and you were right back where you started. Now every new program feels like starting over, and part of you wonders if it's ever going to actually work for you.

Maybe you built muscle once and watched it disappear. Maybe you've never stepped foot in a weight room and have no idea where to even start. Maybe you know your way around the gym but eat completely differently on weekends than weekdays and can't figure out why the scale won't move. None of that means something's wrong with you. It means nobody ever built a plan around your body — they handed you theirs.

Your Coach

Rooted in Faith. Built with Discipline.

I hit rock bottom and God rebuilt me. Now I train and coach others to do the same — no shortcuts, no hand-you-a-plan-and-walk-away coaching. Just real programming, real accountability, and real attention on every client I take on.

The Approach

The M2 Method

Three parts, working together — because training alone was never going to be the whole answer.

Programming Built Around You

Every block progresses based on how your body actually responds — not a copy-paste template. Whether you're 16 or 70, brand new or getting back into it, the plan adapts to you.

Nutrition That Fits Your Life

Practical, sustainable guidance for eating in a way you can stick with — so the results don't disappear the moment things get busy or life gets in the way.

Accountability That Keeps You Honest

Regular check-ins and direct access to me, so you're never left guessing whether you're actually on track — or quietly falling off.

What's included

Everything that comes with coaching

This isn't a plan you get handed once and left alone with. Here's exactly what you're getting.

Is this you?

Who this is (and isn't) for

This is for you if

  • You want a visible change in your body composition — not just a smaller number on a scale.
  • You're willing to follow a plan and communicate honestly about how it's actually going.
  • You want coaching — someone in your corner — not just a workout printout.
  • You're anywhere from your teens to your 70s and ready to put in consistent effort.

This isn't for you if

  • You want a plan you never have to check in on or adjust.
  • You're looking for a quick fix without changing any habits.
  • You're not open to being coached — just handed a spreadsheet and left alone.
I'm In → Every client is coached 1-on-1 — I only take on a limited number at a time.

Your Coach

Hey, I'm Mike

I've gained real coaching knowledge training under James Jansen this past year, but the foundation of how I coach goes back further than that.

I hit rock bottom with alcohol addiction. I asked God to take it, and He did. My real healing began when I found my way back to the weight room — training and discipline became the structure that rebuilt me, physically, mentally, and spiritually, with my wife standing by me through all of it. Every session, every meal, every rep since then has been about paying back a debt to the man I was supposed to be all along.

That's the discipline I bring into every program I write: exercise selection, programming, nutrition guidance, and the accountability that makes results stick, with injury awareness and real-time adjustments built in. If you're starting from zero, chasing a real transformation, or just need someone who understands what it takes to change, you're getting a coach who's still in it, every step of the way.

Questions

FAQ

Do I need to already be in shape to start?

No. This is built for people starting from very different places — whether you've never trained with a plan before or you're getting back into it after time off. The program adapts to where you are, not the other way around.

What if I'm older, or have never lifted weights before?

That's exactly who this is built for. Programming is adjusted to your age, experience, and any physical limitations — the goal is building strength and muscle safely and sustainably, at your pace.

Is nutrition coaching included?

Yes. Training and nutrition are addressed together, because one without the other rarely produces lasting results.

How much time do I need to commit?

[State your actual session frequency and expected weekly time commitment here.]

What does it cost?

[Add your actual pricing here once finalized — e.g. monthly rate, what's included, and any minimum commitment.]

What happens after I apply?

You'll hear back to schedule a short consult call. From there, if it's a good fit on both sides, I'll build your custom plan and we'll get started.

Decision time

If you've read this far, you're already thinking about it. You've got two options.
