Who is
Hi, my name is Mike
I'm the proud owner and head coach here at Barbell Lounge.
With over 16 years, 8 gyms (and counting) under my belt, I have been fortunate enough to work across many markets, and with 100s of clients. From Shanghai to Southampton, my coaching is a collection of the wins, losses and lessons I have experienced.
​
My business journey began with a vision to fill the gaps left by other gyms, focusing on quality equipment and a strong sense of community.
As a coach, I want to help people cut away the Bulls**t and build a system which works for them. I wasn't blessed with a sporting background when I started so I know what it takes to make things happen.
​
My advanced knowledge in training and nutrition has been built off a desire to be ahead and have answers and my thirst for knowledge will ensure I will be able to offer you the very best of me.​
I'm committed to helping you achieve what has previous been out of reach for you.

How It Works.
Needs Analysis
Onboarding
Refinement
First step is to figure out your why, the thing that motivates you & what you've experienced to date.
​
Training, lifestyle, diet - everything is discussed and understood so the best solution is built for you.
The more honest you are, the better the outcome.
​
We use forms and conversations to figure this out.
Next we need to set up all your programming, tracking and expectations.​
​
This helps you focus on the right things from day one.
​
At this stage, we will start be collecting data and refining the process
​
We will do this via tracking and reviews to see how you respond initially in the first 4 weeks.
Once we have data, we start tweaking our approach as you dig in for some serious work.
​
Working with you, I will start to refine the process and build your runway for progression over the next few months.
I am on site over 70 hours per week, you will get hours of free session support in real time.
​
We use your program and diet tracking here to make refinements and discuss ideas in your reviews.
FAQs
Is this suitable for beginners?
My process and onboarding means your system and support is tailored to your start point, not mine.
How did you decide your monthly cost?
My cost is based on the value you receive. 16 years of coaching, £1000s spent on degrees and upskill courses, and discounts and benefits accessing my gym.
​
When all the package is totalled up, it is around £370 per month of value, so saving of around 60% off if you purchased each component separately.
​
My service is likely going to be one of the most comprehensive you experience and the results speak for themselves.
How quickly will I see progress?
Most clients see realistic changes within 3-4 weeks of starting. Rate of progress is influencing by your level of consistent commitment, starting position and work rate.
Simple put - the people who follow the system closest, get results faster.
