Mike owns a private gym facility in Warrington UK where he takes normal people and shows them just how capable they are.

One of the things I love about Mike is that as well as excellent training and nutrition knowledge, he also brings the principles of community and fun into his clients' training.

His team often take part in adventure races (including one where Mike himself was chained to another member of the team) and all sorts of other activities, making fitness something that enhances a lifestyle, not dictates it.

We talk about how his ethos on training has grown over time and the highs and lows of running your own business.
