Mike's life usually consists of one of two distinct days. A work day will consist of getting up early and working with clients from 6-7 o'clock in the morning, up to around mid afternoon. Mike's business; Athlos Personal Training - includes fitness, nutrition, mindset and health coaching to people in the Teesside area of North East England. Very early on it is clear to see that Mike is a very driven person who works incredibly hard. 

Mike works the hours that best suit his clients' needs. That means getting up early to train with them before they go to work, or on an evening when their working day is finished. He also doesn't work from a gym, rather he works mainly as a mobile coach, training people in remote locations where they will feel comfortable. 

On the other side of this there are other days in his week, whereby he gets to play Dad for the whole day, spending quality time with his three year old daughter. 

As we get to know more about Mike, we discuss his emphasis on teaching fitness and nutrition as a lifestyle choice, rather than a means to achieving a short term goal. It is really nice to hear Mikes style of ensuring that his clients' training experience is both enjoyable and sustainable, so that they will continue to train long after his coaching has ended. 

This also transcends into his approach to nutrition - rather than telling people what they can and can't eat, he prefers to help people work with their relationship with food.
