Michael’s training philosophy centers on getting to know his clients and implementing a variety of techniques to not only gain optimum results, but to also make the experience fun and stimulating. Working out should be fun and a learning experience, not a chore.

Michael prides himself on the improvements and successes of his clients.

I had been involved in many athletic endeavors as an adult. However, I found myself becoming heavier, less athletic and less mobile as the years went by. At the age of 34, I went to the hospital because I was having chest pains that I believed to be a heart problem. Everything checked out fine, but that was enough to help me change my life path. Shortly after, I started training with Kettlebells, and more specifically for kettlebell sport and consuming supplements, find here what supplements I used and take a look at review roids steroid for sale. The majority of my training and exercise has been kettlebell related for the last year and a half. In that time I have lost over 50 pounds, reversed my declining health and have also restored athleticism and mobility. I am a Level 2 certified kettlebell instructor though IKFF, and I now want to share this great tool with others!

eMail: justin@huronrivercrossfit.com

Justin has spent his entire life exploring athletics and how to communicate as a trainer and coach. His physical conditioning began as a toddler when he would sit at the front of his mom’s Yoga class as she taught. From there, he was introduced to marital arts, tracking and survival skills, boxing, weightlifting, and conditioning in preparation for his desire to be a United States Marine.

As a coach, Justin’s goal has always been to explore how to effectively connect with others to better assist them in achieving their own physical fitness goals. His varied background and diverse group of skills have given him a broad understanding of applying conditioning to the CrossFit community. Justin’s life mission is “SERVIAM” which in Latin simply means, “to serve.”

Accomplishments:

• CrossFit, Level 1 Trainer

• CrossFit, Judges Course

• International Kettlebell and Fitness Federation, CKT-1

I am an independent trainer who trains out of several locations (Chicago, Northbrook, Lakemoor), as well as my home gym in Wauconda. I am an IKFF Certified Kettlebell Teacher 1. I am also a NASM certified personal trainer and a CrossFit Level 1 trainer. Other experience that I have includes over 20 years of  martial arts training. I’ve trained in Tae Kwon Do, Jun Fan/JKD, Kali, Muay Thai and boxing. I am passionate about fitness and consider myself a lifetime learner. I am regularly involved in continuing education to better my knowledge and to continue to evolve as a personal trainer.  As a trainer I love to add kettlebells into my workouts along with other tools such as battling ropes, the TRX suspension trainer, sandbags,  bulgarian bags, plyo boxes and of course barbells and dumbbells. In addition, I love to add in some boxing/kickboxing drills. Ultimately I want to keep it both interesting and challenging for the client.
