“I contacted Mike because I was having difficulty challenging myself to the level I needed to pass the “PARE” entry test for the RCMP. I tried training by myself and I asked around for advice on exercises I should be doing to get ready but it wasn’t working for me. I didn’t like to go to the gym by myself because I never knew what to do exactly and I never kept with an exercise plan long enough or didn’t push myself hard enough to see results. Mike met with me right away when I contacted him. He told me straight out that it would be a challenging goal to get me fit in one month to pass this type of test BUT that it was attainable. I got into this wanting to succeed but didn’t really know if it was actually possible for me.
Mike made working out fun. He introduced me to new exercises and he’d explain the kinetic aspects as so to better teach proper technique. He would push me to levels that I didn’t even know I could achieve. He gave me great advice on how to get focused on how to achieve something that is difficult. He’s a very focused kind of guy and he was very attentive at all times during your session. I never felt that he couldn’t care less that I passed the PARE test or not – he was very dedicated on my success and I needed that. It’s kind of weird, it’s like he knew inside and out what I needed to achieve my goal. From my muscles, my breathing, my brain, my guts and in my heart, he knew how to bring out the best in me.
YES! I passed. I didn’t just pass, I got a really good time. I am amazed at what I’ve achieved. This experience will stay with me for ever and it did change my life and now I can go on with my dream of becoming a police officer. Wow! I will for ever be grateful for Mike to have taken my goal so seriously, for all the time and dedication that he put into my training. MERCI!”
