“I’ve been working out with Michael for just over a year now and as of this morning I'm down 39 pounds. This has been the toughest but most important thing I've maybe ever done. I have loved and will continue to love my body at all it's weights contrary to what the world wants me to feel about it but I knew if I wanted to live a long mobile life I needed to be stronger and more active. Michael has made something I truly thought I would dread, the highlight of my day. I’m proud of my weight loss but I’m even more proud that I stuck with this on the weeks I felt too busy, or the months where the scale didn’t move in the direction I wanted it to, or every time I thought I was too tired. I know I couldn’t have done any of this without the discipline and skills that Michael has taught me and I couldn’t be more grateful to him.”

“Michael has proven to be incredibly dedicated and I constantly feel reaffirmed in the investment. He gives me excellent detailed notes on the video of my workouts, and our weekly check ins have been so helpful to actually review my work that now I am totally convinced this is more efficient than having a trainer with me during my workout and a perfect next step for me. In 2 months working together, I can squat double the weight than what I used to feel my maximum was. I used to think lifting my bodyweight was a longer term goal and now I can already do that. Michael has been patient, encouraging, and excellent at holding me accountable to my goals. I knew he was the right person to be working with after early in my workouts I experienced upper back pain and he immediately put in the time to listen to me, assess his recommendation, and give me additional stretches that have absolutely resolved the issue. Most of the time, any discomfort for me used to mean having to conform myself with no strength training. It’s taken time and commitment, but I’m proud that with Michael I’ve been overcoming those mental and physical barriers and look forward to continuing. I never regret an investment in a good teacher, and that’s definitely who Michael is.”

“Before training with Michael, I never went to the gym, never valued fitness as a part of my overall health, and couldn’t even do a single push up. Now three years later, movement is an integral part of my lifestyle, not only can I do dozens of push ups, I’m now onto (8) pull-ups! Our bodies are incredible and Michael taught me how being comfortable with being uncomfortable can lead to feeling stronger and healthier than I’ve ever been in my life. I’ve recommended him to all of my friends and their lives have since changed as much as mine”

“Over the past two years, Michael McGuire has been my trainer, meeting twice a week via Zoom. I started working out with him with the vague intent of getting a little stronger or losing a bit of extra Covid-era weight I'd put on. Michael has a remarkable ability to push me further than I think I can go, while keeping me feeling safe as ever. As a result, I've seen more progress in my fitness than I could have ever imagined.
Michael tailors workouts to a client's abilities, using a mix of kettlebells, body weight, and mobility exercises. In my case, my abilities were pretty nonexistent at first. I went from not being able to do a single pushup from my knees to knocking out 40 pushups from my toes in a single workout. Furthermore, I've lost about 24% of my body-weight - which I did not even set out to do.
Michael McGuire is patient, knowledgeable, kind, and funny. If anyone is seeking nuanced guidance with their fitness, I recommend Michael with all my heart and new muscles.”

“Michael has been a pleasure to work with as I navigate my fitness and health journey. My goal was to pivot from progress that had stagnated to lifting heavier, getting stronger and leaner leaner and eating healthier.
Within only 2 months, I’ve been able to increase my lifts in weight by over +30% across deadlifts, squats and bench presses. My approach to eating via his macro planning has also completely evolved. I’ve also seen physical changes with increased muscle mass and a leaner more defined core.
I enjoy working with Michael because he makes the experience extremely personal. In the beginning, he is checking in with you throughout the week to get you onboarded. He also shows that he is genuinely invested in your goals. He builds a very clear goal and progress tracker that is measurable and keeps both you and him accountable. I recommend Michael to anyone who has a fitness and health goal in mind . I’m looking forward to continuously working with Michael on my fitness and health journey!
