Client Results and Testimonials
Saying yes to an opportunity given to me by Johnson's Family Fitness was the best decision I have ever made. With the support and coaching from Mike the progress I have made in the past year is beyond what I could have ever imagined." |
With Mike's support I kept going, I started enjoying the food and looked forward to the exercise. I could see my body shape changing and it motivated me to continue." |
|
I told him [Mike] why I hadn't been exercising due to an injury to my knee. I felt really downbeat as my weight was increasing, eating habits were out of control. I saw no way out until my knee was fixed and would start exercising again in 2017. Mike told me no matter what life throws at you, you can work around it. Taking great care of my knee, plans were tailored to suit me by Mike. 21 days later I feel like a new person, some of the benefits I have more energy, eating under control and fitter than I have ever been."

Mike has kept me on the right path even if we have had to change the way every now and again. It's been so much fun, I've made new friends, set new goals and learnt to push myself and to break new boundaries. I'm physically and mentally stronger than ever and ready to embrace anything that comes my way, but most of all I am happy. My confidence has grown and I have every belief that it will only grow more. I am forever thankful for what Johnson's family fitness has done for me, for believing in me and pushing me like no one has done before. I've achieved so much and I feel so proud." |

“I'm a mixed martial artist and I first met Mike at a show when I saw him working on a fighter from our club. At the time I was having repetitive shoulder injuries which was causing me to take time off training which was getting me down. I had been an athlete at such a high standard for so long, so it frustrated me being off training.
Mike worked his joint mobility therapy on me and freed up all my joints improving my movement and he then put me on a rehab performance program to strengthen my entire body. I am now competing at a high standard again and I have not had a single issue with my shoulder since meeting Mike. His techniques are extremely effective and are giving him a fantastic reputation amongst other fighters in the club. I am continuing to work with Mike to enhance my level of performance and keep my body free from injury. It's been a over year now working with Mike and I couldn't recommend him any more highly”

“We first started working out in 2010 and shared the same goal to develop overall strength. Mike was always around to help and give advice, and was consistent in helping us. After discussing we decided to hire Mike as we believed he could help us achieve our goals much quicker. Mike put us on his multi-planar linear strength and conditioning program. After just 23 sessions over 7 weeks I gained 96.5k to my 5 rep max's- deadlift, squat, bench press, shoulder press, pull up, ring dips” - Joe
“After 22 sessions I gained 86.5k on my 5 rep max's” -Tom
“Mike is always professional and understanding of our needs. Both of us working full time busy lives is exhausting and sometimes we didn't feel in the mood to exercise. Mike knew how to motivate us and got us to be at our best! We feel we got excellent value for money and would highly recommend anyone thinking of hiring a professional to seek Mike. He will bring the best out of you!”

“Mike is simply AWESOME! There are many investments in life that you take and wonder if it’s all worth it in the end. After working with Mike and Johnson’s PTS for over a year now, I can say that having him in my life has been one of the best investments. Mike is not your typical trainer. He is really dedicated to his profession and passionate about helping people get fit and achieve their goals which I find inspiring. When you are training with Mike his entire focus is on you. He’s and amazing trainer with much experience and knowledge and he definitely keeps you on your toes with new workout sessions every time with his multi-functional techniques and vast understanding of body mechanics. He’s given me a brand new outlook and appreciation for strength and cardiovascular training which makes me feel I can achieve any goal. Mike has helped to strengthen me physically and mentally and he is definitely one of a kind and the best PT I have ever worked with helping me achieve goals such as being successful in my Mixed Martial Arts career and playing International Hockey. I would recommend Mike and Johnson’s PTS to anyone and I guarantee you will not be disappointed.”

“I first started personal training with Mike as he was recommended through reception at my gym. My goals were to gain my confidence and passion back for keeping fit as I had been a personal trainer in my previous career. I loved the variety of exercises Mike gave me. They were very funky and different to any exercises I had previously used. Mike was knowledgeable and his enthusiasm was quick to rub off me. He was friendly, very approachable and I would highly recommend Mike to any one who wants to enjoy getting fit!”

“I would like to express my thanks for your care and encouragement and dedication to helping me successfully to experience major improvements in a number of my various problem areas and enabling me go a lot further in my aspirations that I thought was possible.
I have suffered with considerable and at times seriously debilitating neck and back problems for the last 25+ years and through the exercises you have devised for me I am genuinely far freer of them than I have been for a very long time. When I had the sciatica attack you enabled me to be properly mobile again immediately and completely recovered in 3 or 4 days. which I was quite amazed by. Also given my COPD and that I am at an age approaching what is usually considered 'old codgerdom' for most people, I did not expect to running at the sort of pace and distance that you have shown me how to achieve.
It is a pleasure working with you.”

“Mike has been my Personal Trainer for a few months now. When we started I had a reasonable level of fitness but wanted to improve my strength and conditioning. Mike created a tailor made work out program for me to suit my needs. During the time we've been working together he's kept me motivated and tweaked the sessions as we've gone along for various purposes. If at any stage I feel my body start to complain Mike is great at sorting out the niggles and fixing me, more so than any other PT I’ve worked with before. He also gives a great deal of advice and exercises I can/need to do at home to ensure my targets are met and my body is able to cope with the intense strength training. Some of this advice relates to my diet, which I’ve learnt is a key thing to control if you want to achieve/exceed your goals.
In summary working with Mike is enjoyable, hard work and gets results. In the first 2 months my strength on basic tests increased by over 50% in some cases, which is staggering! Highly recommended whatever your goal - he knows what he's doing!”

“I have had serious back problems for about 25 years, caused by years of building and landscaping work. In my youth, I always worked too hard and too fast, without giving any thought to the care of my body. I have been rushed to hospital on three occasions with severe spasms in my back. I have changed jobs and seen an osteopath for two years. My back just continued getting worse. I am continually pulling muscles in my back and in the past year alone have been laid up in bed with spasms at least six times. Each of these times has about a three-four week recovery time. I live in constant fear of my back ‘going’ and am now as weak in this area as a kitten.
Mike told me that I can have a life free from pain. Sounded too good to be true. However, beginning with extremely careful and light work we slowly began building up my core strength. Very gently, very carefully he worked with me, rebuilding my trust in my back. I quickly realised that I have been led by my fear and have avoided using it more and more. The lack of use has made it so weak that any use makes me hurt it, so it is never getting the chance to recover. Working with Mike we discover muscular imbalances and posture problems which are exasperating the problem.
It is now three months since I began working with Mike and I am feeling strong and confident again. I am aware of my back use it with care. When I feel it now I know how to care for and trust it, rather than being afraid.
To say Mike has changed my life is an understatement. He is patient, thoughtful, caring and knowledgeable. He has a truly genuine desire to help his clients and this comes through in the way he works. I would recommend anyone to work with Mike Johnson. He will change your life – and that’s a promise!”
Paul W
“I have worked with Mike for the last 6 months. He has changed the way I trained, moving me away from a a high impact/heavy cardio work out which over the years had put too much strain on my joints, to more balance, flexibility and movement based exercises which have begun to get my joints back working together (rather than against each other). His sessions are varied, informed and enjoyable. I wish I had half of his energy. I also wish he trained me 20 years ago!!”

“I am delighted to recommend Michael as a personal trainer. I have found Michael to be a man of exceptional character, generous to charitable causes, extremely likeable, focused on extreme challenge and the finest health motivator I have ever had the privilege of coming across. I engaged Michael as my personal trainer after many years of inactivity and having severe joint issues. He has displayed an extensive working knowledge of his science and within two months I am feeling great, more energised and have even placed my name down for a half marathon. You will not do better than engaging Michael.”
Malcolm A
“I have worked with Mike for the last 18 months during which time my fitness, balance and general energy levels have improved enormously . Mike's sessions are always challenging but fun and varied. You don't get bored! I would have no hesitation in recommending Mike as a personal trainer.”

“Firstly I would like to deeply thank Mike for training me over these past few months. Without his training I wouldn't have the right mind-frame towards physical training. My training consisted of physically demanding circuits, which I was being tested on at all times. I then moved on to boxing and sparring with Mike himself and realised he was brilliant at his job as my fitness sky rocketed and my boxing skills became really good. Unfortunately, I have had to say goodbye to mike due to me moving away but I would greatly recommend Mike as he will get you fit and is the man for the job. Once again thanks Mike and I hope our paths cross again in the future.”
Craig H
Tennis Coach
“As I approached my black belt grading I knew my strength and fitness would have to be much better. My own gym training had no direct impact on my Judo. I asked Mike for some help and he put me on a 12 week course of personal training. He worked hard on my flexibility, movement and mixed in some heart pounding fitness sessions. The results from training with Mike were fantastic. I powered my way through my 5 black belt fights with ease. Thanks to Mike's enthusiasm I have now changed the way I train and my body feels much more efficient. I can recommend Mike's techniques to anyone from performance trainers to people just looking to feel good''.
