Featured Client Story
Meet Amy. She's 70 years old, and I'm incredibly proud of her.
I've been 1:1 strength training Amy for months. We introduced the barbell early, then gradually over months improved her squat form through air squats, goblet squats, and deliberate full range of motion training. Session after session, she showed up and put in the work.
Today, Amy is performing full sets of 10 to 14 barbell back squats with 55 lb, reaching nearly parallel depth with control and confidence.
Individual results vary.

1-on-1 personal strength training is the core of what I do. Built around traditional compound exercises, drop sets, body-weight strength training, and physical outdoor work like running, hiking, and basic calisthenics. All supported by yoga-style stretching and a real understanding of clean eating.
I'm here to help you break free from inactivity, your gym rut, or advance your fitness. You need a push in the right direction and accountability. One or two 30-minute sessions per week will change your life.
You'll be amazed how much we can accomplish in 30 minutes, how quickly your strength improves, and how much you gain as you navigate life. Learn to reframe your time and thoughts about working out, and see how it can all be naturally and intuitively integrated into your life.

Real client reviews
"Never felt better. Mike has given me great workout advice and nutritional tips. Meeting with him every week has also motivated me to make better eating decisions and work out more on my own. I highly recommend him to anyone."
"If you are reading this I would guess you are looking for someone to help you with getting into better physical shape. Based on my experience with Michael Baker you have found the person you need. My old body is now doing things that I felt would never again be possible. Mike has taken me step by step through many exercises. He starts slowly and moves you along when he feels you are ready to take the next step up. We do strength, stretching, and balance exercises. Mike knows what he is doing!"
"I can't express in words how amazing a trainer Mike is. More importantly he is a phenomenal person and inspiration - especially to people in their 40s and 50s. I've been looking for years for the right person to help me get over the hump of overall physical health, and couldn't be more excited to be working with Mike!"
