Have you ever walked into a gym and felt like a “square peg in a round hole”. The machines are confusing, the instructors appear to be unapproachable, the men are grunting with heavy weights and the women are sweating it out on the treadmill and you feel like walking out !. Exercise is suddenly not an option!
Well, that is NOT what happens in Mick’s training sessions. Everyone is made welcome! Mick is warm, friendly and approachable. The training sessions are fun, challenging and designed to meet the individual’s capabilities and needs. Mick’s sessions are tailored to cater for both men and women with various capabilities. Everyone completes the same exercises but the weights used in the exercises vary to meet individual needs.
Mick’s focus is more about form, hence not injuring yourself, and less about finishing first. Mick always encourages you to complete the task to the best of your ability. To this purpose, Mick gives clear concise instructions and follows through with excellent visual demonstrations. For those of us, who don’t understand the first time, he will repeat it patiently until we do get it!. Mick helps each person in his team to reach the potential that he envisions for them. He is always ready with advice, knowledge and motivation.
At the end of each training session I feel that I have achieved more than I could in the previous session. Training with Mick has helped me to be healthier, stronger and more empowered. Mick has encouraged me to challenge myself to achieve fitness goals that I did not think possible.
If I only had one word to describe Mick’s style of training it would be: inspirational!
