MEET THE TRAINER - Michael Hollinger, CPT-NASM

I am passionate about all things movement. To me, exercise is more than just a way to get the body in shape. It is a vehicle for developing new habits, mindsets, and qualities that can radically transform someone’s life. Growing up, exercise was an outlet for me when things got challenging. It was something that made sense and brought a little bit of order in tumultuous situations. Practicing discipline in fitness incrementally carries over to many other areas of life. The resulting impacts, when mixed with consistency, compound over time. If you are ready to begin shifting your paradigm, I would be honored to join you on your journey.

Having competed in powerlifting, swimming, and marathon running, I love developing high levels of strength and endurance simultaneously. Many people think these are mutually exclusive, but given enough time and consistency, they actually complement each other at the practical level. To accomplish this, the first 2-3 months spent together focus on stabilization & strength-endurance. This develops a foundation to safely reach higher levels. After these phases, the athlete and I assess their progress/goals to determine where they want to go. For some it looks like Daily Undulating Programming drawing on Conjugate and Metabolic Conditioning principles. For others they prefer a more strength forward approach with a mass building component. Whatever your vision may be, I am here to assist you as you crush your goals!
