Wildlife Adventures

“Michael Gayle reads bodies the way a lot of people read books.  His unique combination of skills in the martial arts, Pilates, weight training, boxing, massage and tracking, allows for a deep reading.  I’m benefited from his expertise in so many ways, certainly physically in terms of strength, stability, and balance, but also spiritually in terms of mindfulness and mental focus.  I came to him for lower back pain; I left with renewed confidence and clarity. I commend him to you with high delight.”

“Michael brings to the training a diverse set of skills, which makes for each session being different; challenging in new ways and fun in new ways. His attitude is infectiously enthusiastic. He shows respect and concern when my physical limitations are encountered, though he isn’t deterred from expecting progress, given the right pacing and technique. That’s important when you’re over 60 like me, because I found out from training on my own that I could incur injury from using poor form. Working with an experienced trainer is safer and more effective.

Michael has a special interest in physical activity in the outdoors. Seeing and experiencing how training effects show up in real-world applications keeps my motivation strong.  He’s helped me to do more, do it safely, and maintain a can-do outlook.”

My partner and I hired Michael as a personal trainer as part of our new year’s resolution in 2007. We worked with him for almost six months until moving across the country. I credit Michael with helping me break through both physical and mental barriers that I had in place with regard to working out and exercising. He is part fitness coach, part life coach and all around great guy. Michael always kept things fresh and different in the gym and that really kept me excited to go back.
