Testimonials

"When I decided to start working out, it was because I wanted to tone and lose weight as most of us do. However, I had been having lower back problems and had been receiving physical therapy. Once I was able to start an exercise program, I chose Micky because he works with people with injuries. During my six week session, I gained so much core strength that I was pain free within a couple of weeks. I lost several inches and I went from a size 10 to a 6 by his guidance with exercise and diet. I have continued to use his methods of training and I am still seeing results!!!"
Joy Brown
"My husband and I are going over our annual budget for 2009 and looked at how much we were spending on the gym and Micky's training. We decided to put it in the category of "well being". We looked at how much we had spent in 2007 on doctor visits, time out of work and so on and then how much we spent last year in 2008 when we started working with Micky. It dropped incredibly. Working out is an investment in ourselves, Our health and Our well being. You need to make room for it in your budget and trust me, it has already and continues to pay us back in the long run.

I charge you to figure up how much you spend on doctor visits, rx drugs, time out of work and so forth and see how getting your body in better shape and eating right can really make a difference. I am happier every time I look in the mirror, my marriage is better and I feel great.

Thanks Micky!"

"I feel so much better since I started working out with Micky, I have more energy, my joints don't ache, I sleep well, and I am losing weight."
Jean Ann Wacker
"I've been working with Micky since May, 2008 when I realized how unhappy I had become with myself. I have always made efforts to "lose weight" and "get fit" but the motivation and discipline usually fizzled out after a few months. Not with Micky! He keeps my workouts fun and intense, helps me stay interested and motivated, is always encouraging, and he doesn't get "stuck" in same routines. I get bored easily when I do the same thing over and over. He recognizes that and challenges me with a variety of exercises, using kickboxing equipment, weight machines, free weights, exercise mats, balls, steps, the list goes on! Even when I had to stop for almost 6 months due to a back problem, I could not wait to get started back! I feel better about myself than I've felt in years! Thanks Micky!! You're the Best!!"

"Micky is a great personal trainer. He really pushes you and at times, I really hated it, but the results are totally worth it. I have lost a lot of inches and have gone down a full size in my clothes."
Janice Philippi
"I've worked out since I was 15 but Micky's workouts have made me stronger and I have lost over 25 lbs. My early morning workouts make me more productive at work and help me with stress relief. I have also learned better nutrition habits.
Micky also pushes to the maximum level w/ my workouts and I like that we are always doing different exercises."
James Weldon (Bubba)
"I enjoy working out with Micky Francis. I have been training for over 2 years under Micky's supervision. Not only do I see a difference in my body but I also feel the difference. After my workouts I feel so much better and have more energy for my day. Exercise helps me reduce my stress level at my job as well. I look forward to continuing my workouts and I challenge anyone to try it to see and feel a difference in their body."
Robert Pennington
"Micky is truly one of a kind when it comes to fitness and training. He keeps the workouts interesting and challenging and motivates you to be better and do better. He instills in you the never give up attitude!"

My Personal Story

Back in my college years, a friend of mine talked me into checking out a Martial Arts Studio and taking a free class.  I liked it so much that I joined up and started taking every class they had to offer.  I tried Judo, Jujitsu, Taekwondo, Kickboxing, Hapkido and Aikido. 

There I made another friend who loved to lift weights and after trying out a couple of sessions at "Gold's gym" with him, I joined up.  It was a childhood dream to be a member there.  I was working out at the gym for about 3 to 4 hours a day and doing Martial Arts 3 days a week.  My max on Bench Press went from 250 to 375 pounds and I was pushing 900 plus pounds on the Leg Press machine.  My weight at the time was 195 pounds which was the leanest I have been since I have been chubby most of my life.  The gym changed hands and went under and my college career ended around the same time.

Then real life started and I stopped working out all together but just reminisced and dreamt about those "good old days" when I had all the time in the world!  I was on the road a lot working in different locations and eating out resulted in gaining weight and not in a good way.  A few years went by and I ended up being 248 pounds at my heaviest.  It took a few life changing events for me to realize I wanted to lose weight and "Get Back in SHAPE".  I always wanted to be back in the gym and I loved the idea of helping others reach their goals so I started studying and got my Nationally Accredited Certification.  Since I wanted to be a trainer I thought it would be great for me to hire other trainers and see how they trained.  I probably worked with 7 or 8 different trainers. It was an Investment in myself!  While undergoing training I learned a lot and my body made an amazing transformation. I lost over 40 pounds of fat! 

I felt so much better about myself, I decided to end my other career completely and transition to helping people like you reach your goals, whether you want  to undergo a Body Transformation, gain muscle or just lose a little weight to fit back into those clothes at the back of your closet. And I also know how it feels to be on the roller coaster of life and let fitness take the back seat and not be your number 1 priority.  Sometimes circumstances do get out of control but I am here to motivate you and help you "get back in Shape and take charge of your life"!

I now have a passion to help build others up physically, as well as emotionally, by being positive and understanding.  So now MY success is in YOUR success!
