MM Fitness

About

Michael Mackin, founder of MM Fitness, has been into sports and fitness since he was 9 years old; when he first started playing rugby, continuing to play until he was 20 with the London Irish and London Broncos RL. He was introduced to, and received a strength-training regimen from, Andy Flint, the strength and conditioning coach of the New Zealand RL national team.

Life After Rugby

After rugby, Michael went on to a regular desk job, beginning a sedentary lifestyle of office work, then afternoon tea with cake. Reaching 240lbs was his wake-up call which he saw as a challenge, having been into competitive sports before.

But in this case, it was a personal competition of doing his best, being his best and competing with himself. He formulated his own fitness and nutrition regimen that helped him lose 34lbs (going from 240lbs to 206lbs) in a matter of 16 weeks.

His achievement inspired him to continue with MM Fitness, promoting and offering health and fitness training to those with 9 to 5 jobs, introducing exercises in and outside the gym, as well as other leisure/sports activities to achieve health and well being. Now, he helps people lose 10kg in 2 months – pure and honest fat loss with the MM Fitness system.

Personal Mission

MM Fitness is about giving people an alternative to a sedentary lifestyle. Michael’s personal experience in rugby as a sport and profession; his other training, including TRX fitness system; and his sedentary life as an accountant, gave him the experience of what it is like in both worlds. Using this, he formed his personal mission to promote and impart honest fat loss workouts and healthy and maintainable eating habits to people who live a “from office chair to couch/tv lifestyle with tea and cake.” MM Fitness system is for those who want to take on the challenge of losing 10kg in 2 months.

Aside from receiving learning from Andy Flint, Michael Mackin also completed training for Personal Trainer and Nutrition Adviser Qualifications levels 2 and 3. He is also a certified TRX instructor. Here is his list of qualifications:

Knowing the demands of office work and the stress level this gives people inspired Michael Mackin to establish MM Fitness and provide office professionals and other full-time workers the knowledge to maintain a healthy lifestyle and still indulge in their poison of choice once in a while. He offers workouts that can be done both at home or in a gym, with awareness of the time constraints for those working 9 to 5 and who have a home life.
