1FITCookie

I have been training with Mike since the start of lockdown in July 2021. During the lockdown, Mike was committed to keeping our local community moving, with covid-safe 1-on-1 sessions which were truly the highlight of my lockdown! I needed that external motivation, and having somewhere to workout when the gyms were closed was such a treat. Since then, I am continuing to train with Mike and all the friendly faces at 1FITCookie as part of the group training sessions. Mike and his partner Karina invest so much into making sure the operations run smoothly and building such a great community feel that it makes me excited for the early morning alarms. I am really grateful to have found 1FITCookie in 2021, and hope to keep it part of my fitness routine for a long time to come.

I’ve had a handful of personal trainers over the year, but none have inspired me the way Mike does. His approach to fitness is both motivating and supported by an immense amount (and wide variety) of knowledge. Sessions are always challenging, but he never makes you feel as if you’re not capable of achieving your goals each day. Through personal training I have been challenged in circuits, strength and boxing, and in his group fitness bootcamps, I’ve become stronger, fitter and leaner. Mike pushes you outside of your comfort zone, which means you’re achieving new goals all the time, beating PBs, toning up and feeling good. While I often need a couple minutes to drag myself off the floor after a session, and a rag to mop up the sweat, I always leave motivated, smiling and desperate to get back into the next session. Mike makes training fun, it’s never intimidating, yet always challenging. As a woman, I couldn’t recommend a better trainer.

Mike is a fantastic trainer, who guides and motivates you to be a better version of yourself. His focus on getting the forms right and getting the right balance between aerobic and anaerobic exercise. He also gets a lot of equipment and provides the right tips to achieve your goals. Highly recommend to everyone!

Many years ago I had a wake up call and realised I really needed to do something to change how I was looking and feeling so I nervously joined a gym and signed up for a training session. Im forever grateful that the session was with Mike. Training with Mike has been one of the most challenging but rewarding experiences. Mike possesses an uncanny ability for working out your limit and then pushing you to your own personal threshold. I have achieved so much more than I ever would have believed possible. Not only has Mike helped me lose a tonne of weight, get healthier and fitter, more importantly he has given me the confidence and drive to keep going. I have come back to him time and time again over the years and he has helped unfailingly. Mike has a holistic approach, he finds out about your health/injuries and then tailors a workout around you that is constantly varied so you are never bored. Mike is always professional, on time and manages to keep me looking forward to my next training session. If you’re looking for a trainer that inspires you, gives you training sessions with great results and are a lot of fun, I couldn’t recommend Mike more.

I highly recommend Mike from 1FitCookie he is great personal trainer. Exercising can be boring and painful but not with Mike, he makes it fun and you don’t notice time while you are achieving your goals and feeling better, fitter and stronger. He changes and introduces new workouts every session and he is very engaging and makes you want to work harder.I lost 35kg gained muscle and feel much fitter while training with him and can’t speak more highly of him.

Mike is one fit cookie, and I’m on the way to becoming one myself! As a woman I have sometimes found myself feeling uncomfortable in gym settings but Mike is totally professional, offers great encouragement and delivers results. I feel more confident with my lifting, fitness has improved and I’m no longer getting the back pains I started out with. Can’t recommend him highly enough!

Mike is an awesome trainer. He is motivating and friendly, its hard to avoid his advice. I & my husband took fitness training from Mike last year in 2019 to get in better shape for our wedding & were happy with the results. He ensured we worked hard even though we are a lazy couple. Mike would always bring along with him some workout gear which we learnt to use and it was helpful as we didn't had enough gears or knowledge to use those. We learnt a lot from Mike about staying fit including measuring macros and calories, using health app for maintaining diet. Overall it was great experience. Thanks again Mike! I'm sure he will be one of the most liked & famous trainers in Sydney soon.

I have been training with Michael for nearly the last 5 years and I find him to be really helpful in regards to delivering a great session always full of quality and he always makes sure you are sore afterwards. And he has helped me to be more confident in my training and my approach to it.
