About Michael Igwe


My name is Michael and I am a Personal Trainer, Strength and Conditioning Coach, Certified by National Academy of Sports Medicine. I have over 10 years experience working in the fitness industry.

I wanted others to experience those same results. This is why I am proud and honored to invite you to train with me. No matter if you prefer Boot Camp, In house training or online training I have you covered. Call or email me to have your first fitness assessment/ trial workout at no charge.

Client success story

I trained a client at Club Corp Houston City club who was 62 years old at the time we met. He was weighing 262lbs. In his mind he thought that he can not loose weight because of his age. After training with me for 2 years he lost 60lbs through exercise and proper nutrition,not only that he lost weight but he was taken off high blood pressure and high cholesterol medicine by his doctor.
Another Client training with me at Studio Fitness Heights now, came to me three years ago she was 58 years old as of then, when we met she just want some one to show her how to use the recumbent bike in the gym and she thought that is all she can be able to do in the gym to improve her bone density to avoid osteoporosis which she was at stage one level then. Training with me for 3 years now she went from riding only bike to using most of the equipment in the gym her bone density have increased, her cardiovascular endurance and strength level have increased to the extent that she can now push the sled with 45lbs plate up to 40 yards without been out of breath.


Hobbies

I have happily been Michael’s client for over two years.  He is patient, cheerful and has a sixth sense about my tolerance for a workout since I have a couple of medical issues that impact my abilities occasionally.  My overall strength, tone, flexibility and general well being have improved with his training.

Michael has been working with me for over two years. I always look forward to his welcoming smile and positive demeanor. While engaging, Michael is always on point, gently pushing me to get the most out of my workout. Because of arthritis, I have limited range of motion. Michael has custom designed a series of workouts to stretch often achy joints and maximize strength training in neglected muscles. Even when I arrive after a bad day, I always leave the gym feeling great. I highly recommend Michael!

Hi highly recommend Michael as a trainer. He is professional and motivational. He takes the time to know his clients and their specific needs. He adapts every workout to those needs or desires. I had a C5 disk removal and he adapted my workouts to help with my physical therapy needs in healing from nerve damage and loss of muscle strength.

I have been training with Michael for over 2 years. He has been such a great motivator and has kept me going when I have thought about quitting. With his help I have lost and kept off 20 lbs. His skills as a personal therapist have also helped me avoid injury, which I have had issued with in the past due to past knee problems. He is very accommodating with his schedule and always has his clients best interest at heart. I would highly recommend Michael as a personal trainer and already recommended him to my Mom, who trains with him whenever she is in town.

I have been working with Michael for almost a year.  He is a great trainer who knows how to keep you motivated and when to push and not push your abilities.  His focus is on proper technique so that you will not be as prone to injury.  He works out all your muscle groups focusing me on core.  He is a good communicator and I would recommend him.

Michael changed my life. If you are looking for someone who will start with your fitness level and then motivate you to increase it – he’s your guy! I never saw myself in a gym in a million years and now I never miss. He’s able to work with young, fit people as well as older, not as fit ones.  He has long term clients who will all say he’s changed their lives!
