Michael Donovan, PhD

As a Maryland native, I grew up playing soccer, basketball, lacrosse, track and mountain biking. In high school, I developed a passion for the science of sport and fitness and began studying Anatomy and Physiology, Exercise Science and Nutrition.

​

As a physiologist, lifelong endurance athlete and coach, I help clients optimize their programs to train smarter, not harder. My hyper-personalized, data-informed approach helps clients identify what's not working with their current training and how to shift their training to achieve better results.

 

I've been developing and leading fitness and employee wellness programs for federal government agencies for over 15 years and when I'm not making employees or athletes healthier, you can find me in the gym with my partner, Heather or on a trail with my son, Bennett.

​

Credentials:

  • Ph.D. in Nutritional Physiology from UC Davis

  • B.A. in Biochemistry and Exercise Physiology from McDaniel College
