What Coach Michael's Clients are Saying...
Kelly G
Bethesda, MD
"Before working with Michael, I felt stuck—struggling to balance fitness with my busy schedule and unsure how to make real progress. Michael changed that completely.
He built a customized plan that fit seamlessly into my life, made smart, science-backed adjustments for my age and fitness level, and provided expert nutrition guidance that actually worked. The results? I lost weight, gained strength, and dramatically improved my overall fitness.
If you’re serious about transforming your health, Michael is the coach to get you there."

"Michael is the complete package:
Coach, Strategist, and Motivator. From day 1, he zeroed in on my strengths, weaknesses, and goals, crafting a perfectly tailored plan that transformed my fitness. He didn’t just focus on workouts - he helped me dial in my nutrition, mental focus, recovery, and long-term strategy. His deep expertise was evident from the start.
​
With Michael’s guidance, I went from barely running 40 miles in 12 years to crushing 350 miles in a single year, including the NYC Marathon. I can say with certainty that without his coaching, I never would have reached this level. He’s not just a great coach - he’s an even better person. If you want real results, Michael is the one to get you there."

"Michael's precision coaching is a game-changer. When I started working with him in Spring 2023, I was struggling with chronic back issues that had sidelined me from riding and racing for two seasons. He designed a targeted home training program that improved my strength, endurance, and mobility, with a special focus on core stability and off-the-bike fitness.
The result? In just three months, I felt stronger and fitter than I had in over a decade—and, most importantly, I was back on the bike, pain-free. Michael’s expertise doesn’t just get results—it unlocks potential. If you want to train smarter and perform at your best, he’s the coach you need."

"Michael’s coaching took my cycling performance to the next level. When I started working with him in Spring 2024, I wanted to increase my endurance and speed to stay competitive in XC and cyclocross racing. He built a precision training plan that prioritized cycling workouts while integrating targeted strength and power training off the bike.
​
The results were undeniable—after just three months, I felt dramatically stronger and fitter than I had during the previous race season. Michael’s smart, science-backed approach doesn’t just improve fitness—it builds race-ready athletes. If you’re serious about getting faster and stronger, he’s the coach to make it happen."

Ace Your Race's precision coaching approach is unmatched. I worked with Michael in Spring 2023. He developed a home training program for me that helped improve my strength, endurance and mobility. By focusing on core strength and off-the-bike fitness, I overcame chronic back issues that previously kept me from riding and racing for 2 seasons. After 3 months of training with Michael, I felt stronger and fitter than I had in over a decade. ​​
