Everything I thought I knew was... Not exactly correct. It took time & hands on training & so many little & not so little details adjusting my positions & postures & motions & I really felt like I re-learned the usual exercises with a higher degree of focus & execution & learned a new world of gyrotonic exercises. As a personal investment it was worth it even though it took months before I felt that. You'll never know until you try it!

  Mike is an experienced and knowledgeable trainer. He has such great eyes to caught my movement patterns and gave me corrections. He was able to focus on what my body actually needs as a professional dancer. My lower back opens up right away after the first session. He cares about the details, the breath,and the specific muscles I need to engage. I am very happy to have Mike as my first Gyrotonic instructor.

  Mike is an excellent trainer. He has a vast amount knowledge and uses his expertise to give a challenging and informative session. I always look forward to working with him because I know always learn something new!

  I started working with Mike after gaining a lot of weight and experiencing a major decline in my fitness level during three years of graduate school. Although I was experienced with Gyrotonic and *love* this form of bodywork, I was feeling pretty stuck, embarrassed, and uncomfortable with my body when I finally got back to the studio. Mike was AWESOME. Both encouraging and demanding, he was able to respectfully meet me where I was at, while challenging me and my body to get healthier, stronger, and reoriented. He also provided detailed guidance -- verbally and through skillful adjustments -- that deepened my understanding of Gyrotonic and of my body patterns and habits in general.The point is, Mike is an outstanding trainer. Having worked with numerous fitness trainers, dance instructors, and gyrotonic instructors over the years, I do not sing Mike's praises lightly. He really is all that. He also has a deep level of professional integrity. I highly, highly recommend him to anyone seeking thorough, conscientious, and expert guidance in Gyrotonic or fitness in general. Thanks, Mike, for what you do!

  Mike is a great Gyrotonic trainer. His classes are very well structured and balanced. He follows a main idea that he evolves over the session. He adjusts well to the level of the clients in class. As a gyrotonic trainer myself, I always learn something new, and find Mike classes energizing and inspirational. Mike's knowledge of the Gyrotonic work is very refined and precise. Not only is he very well knowledgeable in the Gyrotonic system but also very passionate about it which also comes through in his work. I highly recommend Mike as a Gyrotonic trainer. I feel very grateful to be able to go to his classes myself.
