The Body Engineer Fitness Trainer

I’ve been working with Mikey as an online client for just over 3 months now, and I’d say it’s been the best decision I’ve made from a fitness perspective. In 3 months my performance in the gym and in fitness events has drastically improved. Not only am I performing well it’s the best I’ve ever felt and looked. Mikey has tailored a training and nutrition plan to align with the goals we set together. His knowledge and professionalism are unmatched.Mikey has taken the time to know me as a person and understand what works for me and then implements that Into the training plan. He also holds me accountable with weekly check-ins and a plethora of advice.I would recommend Mikey to anyone.

Started with Micky back in Feb/March after a random encounter at the gym as I had just signed up and was looking for a PT.He took the initiative of immediately setting up a meeting so we could talk through what I wanted and what methods were available for me to achieve my goals.7 months in and I've lost over 15kg and im looking the best I have in years, safe to say I’m extremely happy with the progress I’ve made thus far and looking forward to continuously working with him.whether that is via our team's WhatsApp group, forthrightly team training, where you get to meet his other clients (absolutely lovely people) or his weekly check-ins. There is always something interesting to look forward to.He is always around the corner to help you with whatever your goal may be, whether it is your physics, fitness or health.Looking forward to the difference the next 4 months are gonna make working under him.

I joined Mikey 6 months ago at my lowest ebb. I hated how I looked, was fat, overweight, lethargic, grieving the recent loss of my dad and a mess in every sense. I hated the gym, hiding in the cardio area if I ever went and did not know where to start. I am not an easy client, cannot stand phones, unable to follow programmes etc but Mikey took account of all this and turned my life around. He is unbelievably patient with this old dinosaur. I am now leaner, stronger, fitter and actually happy with how I look in my clothes although there is still a long way to go. I can control my food intake, nutrition etc easily and have gained so much knowledge it’s ridiculous. Mikey takes time out before every session to find out how you are feeling and adapts accordingly. He is a lovely man inside and out and we have become firm friends. I wish I could keep him forever as my personal PT!

I am absolutely thrilled with the results I achieved under the guidance of Mikey. From the get-go, his professionalism and attention to detail stood out. He tailored workouts and nutrition to my specific needs, resulting in significant weight loss, increased strength, and a leaner physique. But it doesn't end there; my confidence in the gym soared, and I even conquered my first obstacle course, all thanks to his expert coaching.One of the things I truly appreciated was the user-friendly and effective progress tracking tools he provided. Staying on top of my fitness journey was a breeze, and it kept me motivated every step of the way.If you're serious about transforming your fitness and achieving remarkable results, I highly recommend following Mikey. He's dedicated, inspiring, and his personalized approach ensures you get the most out of every session. Trust me, it's worth every effort!

I’ve enjoyed fitness for many years and have had previous success with online PTs previously. This year I came to a point in my fitness though where I needed to be in person with a PT who could support me and push me in the moment.Having been a member of JDs for a few years, I’d already clocked Mikey as one of the best PTs watching him work with his clients on the gym floor so knew I wanted him to be my in person PT- and he didn’t disappoint.From the original meeting where we sat and discussed my goals to the weekly check ins, Mikey spends time listening to truly understand what’s going on and then coaches and advises on how I can perform better, whether that’s getting my nutrition right, steps in, even my mindset and how I’m feeling about my fitness at the time. The workouts have great variety and challenge me which have improved my overall fitness and physique.Mikey provides great support outside of our PT time together, checking in, commenting and encouraging, keeping me accountable. Mikey has also created a vibrant, fun, supportive community which is a brilliant benefit to everyone who is a member of it.Mikey lives up to his brand name as the Body Engineer as he is technically minded and knows how all the different levers of personal fitness need to be drawn upon, exercises, nutrition, sleep, mindset are all covered when working with him! You will also see how he uses this approach in his own training and goals.

I wasn't actually looking for a PT, but I had the pleasure to do some group classes with Mikey, and I felt he was the right match to start one-to-one sessions. Now I am absolutely thrilled with Mikey! His professionalism and dedication to ensuring proper exercise form have been outstanding. He always listens to my goals and works to help me achieve maximum results while minimizing the risk of injuries. He provides me with simple but effective nutrition advices so to address me on little changes that make an impact on the long term, keeping my diet sustainable. I couldn't have asked for a better fitness partner and strongly recommend Mikey to anyone serious about improving their fitness status, their strength or general health.

I have been with Mikey for 3 months now. As a regular weight trainer / gym goer, I fancied doing something different, more along the lines of Xfit / functional training. After doing some of his Xfit classes, which I really enjoyed, I approached him & had a consultation. I was impressed with what he had to offer & signed up. Since being with him he has been the consummate professional. Listening to me & tweaking my plan if required. He updates my training plan regularly & is in contact most days.I lost 3kg, 2” from my waist & maintained my muscle/increased strength. Bearing in mind I was already in good shape, it just shows how his training plan for me has worked! I did a 15km Tough Mudder that he arranged & ran the whole course - this is a testament to what he had achieved with me & the rest of the team.The whole team community he has built up get on great with each other & we all look up to Mikey both personally & professionally. I would definitely recommend him!

I've had a few sessions now with Mikey at JD Gym South Leeds, he's helped build by confidence when training and his diet and nutrition advice has been a game changer for my weight management and energy levels. Im feeling and moving better. Mikey is a quality Personal Trainer, approachable and supportive, the gym is big, clean and is always open so I can train any time.

When I met Mikey, I was already an avid gym goer with a reasonable level of fitness, although I had plateaued, and was struggling to make further progress.Mikey helped me take my training to the next level. Teaching me new techniques I hadn't used, and equipment I'd previously not had the confidence to use.Mikey is more than just a PT, he's genuinely interested, and passionate about what he does, tailoring and developing your training as you progress.Working with Mikey also gives you access to a whole host of other benefits, including online support / advice as well as nutritional and technical support.Mikey also gives you the opportunity to meet his other clients, and the opportunity train and speak with other like minded people in a team environment.On the whole a very positive experience, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Mikey to any one, either at the beginning of a fitness journey or to take on to the next level.

I started with Mikey with a goal to learn how to snatch and clean correctly - with Mikey’s excellent knowledge, passion and ability to teach new techniques, I was soon snatching and cleaning the bar and starting to build up those PB’s.In addition, Mikey has established a great community, a team to support each other and challenge in team training sessions. Mikey goes above and beyond to provide excellent training workouts, coaching and any additional support needed including nutrition guidance.Looking forward to the next chapter online.
