Michael tailors the workouts to the client. Not only in a general way, but week by week. Due to the arthritis in my hip, we work on specific areas to strengthen and stabilize that joint to help alleviate symptoms. He brings a broad range of experience to each client to maximize their results

I am immensely grateful to have been directed to Peyton’s Fitness Coaching! Michael has met and surpassed my expectations of what this experience would be. I’ve always been a “do-it-myself” kind of girl, until a fluke accident forced me to stand down from my sport of choice while I recovered. After months of limitations, I resigned myself to the fact that I wouldn’t be able to achieve my fitness goals on my own, and I decided to seek out professional training and conditioning. Michael is genuinely invested in my goals and dedicated to my success. He’s intelligent, well-researched, well-learned and well-applied, he shares the knowledge he’s acquired, he’s fun and funny, and he absolutely means business! Whatever your health and fitness goals, Peyton’s got you! Invest in yourself! Your health is EVERYTHING!

I have been using Mike as my Personal Trainer for over 2 years. I started soon after a hip replacement. Mike was able to understand what my goals of getting the hip fully back in shape and toning the rest of my body. We have also worked on maintenance and fixing little things that come along. Some minor injuries from normal activities and other aches and pains that come with age. Mike has also been a major player helping me prepare for Rotor Cuff Repair surgery and keeping the rest of my body in shape during the time that I can't do anything with my right arm due to the surgery. He's working great with coordinating my physical fitness requirements and my shoulder re-hab requirements. Mike has been easy to work with and has a great personality. He's easy to work with and above all really cares about you. While he's never said so I believe he has done research on physical issues I've talked about and has come up with plans on his own to help improve things. I will be using Mike to help me stay healthy as long as I can.

To say “Michael Peyton is a great personal trainer” would be an understatement. He’s phenomenal! Peyton takes the time to get to know your goals and gives you realistic steps to achieve them. He is always encouraging me as I make progress and supports and motivates me when I do fall short. After training with him for almost three years I’m not only in better shape and stronger, I am also more confident with myself! I would recommend him to anyone wanting to get in better shape!

I've had the pleasure of knowing Michael Peyton of Peyton Fitness Coaching for several years, but it's only in the past few months that I've started working more closely with him across different areas. Michael is a high-level black belt and Taekwondo instructor, a Personal Trainer, and is currently finishing up his clinicals to become a certified Physical Therapy Assistant. Michael currently works out of MPower Gym LLC. I have… complicated knees. Some of it's structural, and some of it's from imbalances and weakness around the joint. Because of that, I don't have a lot of margin for error, and I'm extremely selective about who I take advice from or trust to design a training program. Before working with Michael, I had several in-depth conversations with him about training, biomechanics, muscle groups, and even our shared interest in learning from the best minds in fitness and rehab. On every point, I came away impressed. Michael doesn't just rely on what he's learned in school; he's constantly studying, refining, and evolving his approach. (And yes, there was one glorious time when I was right about something. That was a great day.) Beyond my personal experience, Michael is also a fantastic Taekwondo instructor. He leads the homeschool program and is one of the core instructors in our school. He may or may not be able to kick higher than me. I'm not saying. If you're looking for a Personal Trainer, exploring Taekwondo for yourself or your kids, or soon even needing physical therapy support, I can't recommend Michael Peyton highly enough. Solid mind, solid skills, and a genuinely thoughtful approach to helping others.

Mike does a phenomenal job of really making the programming personalized & digestible for people of all experience levels, and puts an incredible amount of effort into ensuring you get what you paid for through his coaching. A great wealth of knowledge/experience, as well as a super positive & approachable demeanor makes him the easiest recommend around for health & fitness coaching.

I asked Mike to make me a custom weight lifting program that matched my goals, and he nailed it. The plan is well thought out, challenging and tailored to me. You can tell he's knowledgeable, pays attention to your needs and doesn't just give you a cookie-cutter routine. Highly recommend working with him if you want something personalized and effective.

I’ve been working with Mike for just over 4 months. I started working with Mike after seeing limited results with a previous trainer. The difference is like night and day. I was with my previous trainer for over 8 months, with minimal results. In the 4 months with Mike the results are nothing short of amazing. I have shoulder and lower back issues and, as others have stated, Mike tailors each visit to the individual and considers the modification needed to assure you get the most out of every workout. I have seen a notable reduction in the shoulder issues and I’m not gonna jinx it by even talking about the improvement to my lower back. It's not just Personal Training, it’s Fitness Coaching that encompasses the mind, body and spirit – and Mike is excellent at what he does. I have recommended him to others and will continue to do so.

![Five star review from customer]()
Don't let his age fool you! He's young, but Mike is very knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness. I started working out on my own about a year prior, and wasn't getting any results. I talked to Mike , and he convinced me to sign up with him, and he got me on a lifting program. Within about 2 months or so I started seeing and feeling results. My legs and arms were growing, and I was progressing in the gym almost weekly. If you have an issue with your program, nutrition, or you just feel stuck, give him a shot. He's well worth the money. I guarantee you will see a difference pretty quick.

As a lifelong fat person, I do not like the gym. I’ve probably spent $10,000 on gym memberships over the past 20 years and gone maybe 50 times total. At this point, I’m basically a philanthropist for the fitness industry. My hatred of exercise has only deepened as I’ve gotten older and fatter. My knees hurt. My back hurts. My arms hurt. My teeth hurt just thinking about a Romanian deadlift. But when I turned 40, I realized I had to do something that might actually stick. So I decided to hire a trainer. My logic was simple: if I’m paying someone an offensive amount of money to make me miserable, surely I’ll actually show up. I Googled trainers and found Mike, who looked like the person least likely to annoy me and was small enough to take in a brawl. The plan was to work with him for six months, get abs, thank him for his service, and retire from fitness forever. Well, we’re past six months and I still don’t have abs, so obviously there have been some performance issues. The truth is, though, if Mike hadn’t carefully managed my wildly unrealistic expectations from the beginning, I probably wouldn’t have made it two months. He made it clear that apparently 20 years of neglect cannot be reversed in six Tuesdays. I found that disappointing, but medically plausible. His programming has been exceptional. Everything is progressive and deliberate, and he pays close attention to what my body is doing instead of just trying to kill me for an hour and calling it fitness. When something hurts, he adjusts. When I’m ready for more, he pushes me. Progress has been slower than my preferred “wake up jacked” timeline, but it has been consistent. Mike is also some sort of doctor, nurse, medical professional, witch doctor—I’m honestly not entirely sure what his credentials are—but he knows an alarming amount about how the human body works. Most importantly, I’m still going. For someone who has spent two decades finding increasingly creative ways to avoid the gym, that’s probably the strongest endorsement I can give him. He’s also into some sort of martial arts stuff and has routinely described how he would take me out if we had a billing dispute. He weights 120 lbs but can deadlift 410 lbs. He would want me to let you know that as well. 5 stars. Still fat. Still no abs. Much stronger.

Coach Mike is great!! I was a complete beginner with fitness when I started. Coach Mike was welcoming, knowledgeable, and encouraging! In only a few weeks I’m feeling confident in the gym. I’m excited by my progress, and can’t wait to continue!
