Michael brings to the training a diverse <\/strong>set of skills, which makes for each session being different; challenging in new ways and fun <\/strong>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.<\/p>\n 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.\u00a0 He’s helped me to do more, do it safely, and maintain a can-do outlook.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Martha Stortz” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Michael Gayle reads bodies the way a lot of people read books.\u00a0 His unique combination of skills in the martial arts, Pilates, weight training, boxing, massage and tracking, allows for a deep reading.\u00a0 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.\u00a0 I came to him for lower back pain; I left with renewed confidence and clarity. I commend him to you with high delight.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Kevin Hamlin” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n I originally was a client of Michael Gayle’s 10-years ago.\u00a0 He helped me not only lose 60-lbs. but also got me ready to take the FBI’s<\/strong> fitness test for new special agents.\u00a0 Unfortunately I had an unrelated health scare that did not allow me to continue my journey with the FBI and it caused me to get off the path that Michael had initially put me on.<\/p>\n After trying a few other personal trainers, I could not find the connection and magic I had with Michael.\u00a0 Fast forward to now, I am seeing Michael once again.\u00a0 Only after a few sessions, I am already seeing weight loss.<\/p>\n Another thing I love about Michael is that he tailors your sessions for you; it is not a cookie cutter experience. He could play dodge ball and wrestle with one client, while doing Pilates with another client. The next day he is climbing bluffs covered in snow or snowshoeing through a regional park.<\/p>\n Michael though is more than just a personal trainer.\u00a0 When you see Michael, you also get great advice on what you are putting into your body and mind, while fully experiencing his belief in you.\u00a0 His enthusiasm for life and for making a better you is contagious right when you open the door.\u00a0 And at the end of each session after he has exercised your body, he exercises your mind by giving you a quote that is personal to you.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Andrew Aiello” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n I have had the privilege of working with Michael for 12-years. I was fourteen at the time. I continue to train with Michael and he has been more like a brother to me then just another personal trainer. Michael has coached me all my life in various activities, including boxing, hiking, wrestling, aikido, cycling, strength training, and has taken me on several trips and outdoor adventures. What makes Michael unique is his infectious spirit, energy and motivation. Michael treats everyone of his clients like family. Michael has truly inspired me to stay active and to never give up on my fitness goals.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Gretchen Hansen” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n I enlisted Michael’s expertise as a personal trainer and Pilates expert to deal with a painful lower-back issue.\u00a0 Michael was able to stabilize and strengthen my core such that my back pain went away within a few weeks of starting to work with him.\u00a0 I maintain my posture and pain-free back by doing a specially-designed exercise program Michael created for me every morning.\u00a0 I highly recommend Michael for his ability to quickly translate into manifest reality the fitness goals of his clients.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_padding=”|||” global_colors_info=”{}” custom_padding__hover=”|||”][et_pb_testimonial author=”Sean Dunn” job_title=”Realtor” company_name=”St. Paul, Minnesota” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Michael helped me break through some barriers with my physical goals. I had a history of martial arts and also distance running, some weight lifting in college, but My training was stalled and I was not balanced. Michael\u2019s creative and fun workouts were challenging and he had me doing things I never thought I could physically. He told me I would do them and I did. He is there with you bringing his indomitable spirit and enthusiasm. I\u2019ve seen him work with clients of all ages and abilities from kids to grandparents. From fitness to outdoor experiences, from biking trips to climbing a mountain, Michael is equipped to help you reach your goals. He is trained in outdoor survival and tracking and will keep you safe on any trip.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Alexander Smith” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Michael Gayle came highly recommended by close family friends.\u00a0 In 2008, at 12-years of age, my mother encouraged the onset of my training journey at his former fitness storefront, MGayle Studio.<\/p>\n From day one, I’ve been extremely pleased with Michael’s work ethic, customer service skills, professionalism and genuine care and commitment to me.\u00a0 He embraces my goals wholeheartedly, via careful listening, and promptly formulating and articulating a clear written strategy.\u00a0 My intent fascination with exercise –\u00a0 especially weightlifting – and Michael’s mirrored enthusiasm, drove me to work hard with him three times per week and embrace the assigned homework that followed.\u00a0 Consequently, I began to experience immediate and profound results with my physique and self confidence.<\/p>\n Over the course of three and one half years, we utilized weights, Pilates, agility training, plyometrics, partner drills (e.g. fireman’s carry), boxing conditioning drills, running, intense outdoor climbing, distance hiking while carrying a 40-50 pound pack and outdoor small group strength training.<\/p>\n Due to my positive training experiences with Michael, as a freshman, I decided to try out for high school wrestling.\u00a0 With no prior wrestling experience, my first year, I won thirty-one matches and lost only two.\u00a0 Michael attended a couple of my matches to cheer me on.\u00a0 My junior year I made the varsity team.\u00a0 At 16-years old and 140 pounds, I could bench press 300 pounds.\u00a0 My senior year, I was made captain of my wrestling team.<\/p>\n Following my graduation from high school, I stopped training with Michael for a few years.\u00a0 Presently, I’m 21, and have enlisted Michael as my trainer yet again.\u00a0 Just like old times, I articulated my fitness goals (e.g. significantly increase my muscle mass) and he promptly formulated a clear action plan.\u00a0 In an astonishing two months, I gained twelve pounds of lean muscle by utilizing nutrient dense whole foods.<\/p>\n If you are looking to get back in shape, lose weight, gain muscle or improve upon your current workout program, or lack thereof, Michael Gayle is clearly a five-star choice.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Joshua Hanen” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Michael provides balanced, focused and personalized Pilates instruction.\u00a0 His Pilates instruction provides for optimal improvement of muscle groups while core strength is enhanced in a balanced and personalized manner.\u00a0 Personal improvement of stability, strength and flexibility through Michael’s Pilates instruction allows for better range of motion and less chance for injury while pursuing active hobbies.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Annie Cull” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n 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.<\/span><\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Ted Wentink” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n It’s really tough to be limited to only picking three attributes!\u00a0 I had periodic back spasms, general pain, and a general feeling of slowing down – seems to happen when you clear 50 or so.\u00a0 It was starting to affect my activities and lifestyle.\u00a0 Michael taught me to strengthen my core, and exercise techniques that I still use daily.\u00a0 My chiropractic visits have been mostly eliminated, I feel better, and have far more endurance to do the things that I want to do.<\/p>\n Michael is personable and expert at what he does.\u00a0 He comes up with creative ways to stimulate you and keep your exercise from becoming routine.\u00a0 I would highly recommend him to anyone wanting to enjoy their daily life more.\u00a0 Thank you Michael.<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.16″ background_color=”#cfa961″ custom_padding=”0px|||||” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row column_structure=”1_2,1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”1_2″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/mgayleoutdooradventures.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/01\/IMG_3676.jpg” _builder_version=”4.16″ width=”78%” custom_margin=”||-40px||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.16″ custom_margin=”-75px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.16″ global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text _builder_version=”4.16″ header_font=”|700|||||||” global_colors_info=”{}”]<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_text][et_pb_testimonial author=”Michelle Mednini” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Michael Gayle taught me how to embrace fitness with creativity, hard work, and consistency.\u00a0 He is a highly knowledgeable fitness leader! Michael motivated the deepest parts of me to become passionate about caring for my body.\u00a0 I am a 36-year old woman who regularly gets hit on by men who are over ten years younger than me. That is a real self esteem booster!\u00a0 Without Michael’s passion, I don’t know that I would have been able to look at fitness with love, but probably would have believed (like many) that it’s just something I have to do.<\/p>\n Michael has shown me how to independently and safely workout with weights. He never made me feel different because I am a woman, so it is not intimidating to workout in a majority weight lifting, male population.\u00a0 Michael taught me gym etiquette. He taught me how to love training outdoors by rollerblading, hiking and running.<\/p>\n Lastly, thanks to Michael’s energy, knowledge, and passion, over seven years ago, I became a certified personal trainer and a Yoga instructor two years ago.\u00a0 I have been passing the passion and love of fitness to my clients.<\/p>\n Michael is truly a professional personal trainer.\u00a0 The moment you meet him, it it quite likely that you will feel like you are in great hands.\u00a0 Get ready to change your life and your approach towards fitness.\u00a0 Michael can help you reach your fitness goals.\u00a0 I have met many trainers over the years and none can compare with Michael.\u00a0 He is the best<\/p>\n [\/et_pb_testimonial][et_pb_testimonial author=”Armando Camacho” _builder_version=”4.25.0″ hover_enabled=”0″ global_colors_info=”{}” sticky_enabled=”0″]<\/p>\n Michael is one of the most passionate people I have ever met!
