Mike Basile Personal Training

Having a specific goal, consistently measuring progress towards that goal, and learning how to enjoy the journey along the way.

The people I meet. I have trained people from all over the world, from many different backgrounds, and it really does keep things interesting. At the moment, my oldest client is 72 years old, and he's showing no signs of slowing down!

I've always liked the feeling of being in control of my own destiny. I did go back to college for a couple of years to retrain and dabbled in the 'office job' for a bit, but I realised that working with people to achieve their fitness goals is what I really want to do.

With almost 20 years in the fitness industry, I've seen what works and what doesn't. At the end of the day, a lot of it comes down to personality, and it's a very individual thing deciding who you'd like to work with. That's why I offer a free one week trial with my online Personal Training - it gives us both a chance to feel each other out and see how we'll get on long term.

Yes, these days a predominantly do online training. Workouts are delivered through my app, or through a web interface on my website. Support is offered via messaging through my Personal Training app, as well as via email, phone calls and video calls, depending on what type of package you choose.

Remote/online training sessions! I've only just returned to training clients in a gym environment after almost 18 months doing all sessions via Google Hangouts or house visits, depending on the restrictions. Now that we're back into the gym, it's very much a case of me being the sanitiser/towel bearer, and wiping everything down before and after a client uses it.
