About Me

MichaelD_PT: *** Windsor ***; I’m a freelance Personal Trainer and Strength Coach based in Windsor, UK. I also have pre/post natal, Kettlebell, TRX, ViPR and PowerPlate training. This blog is a way of me answering questions I come across with my clients or people in the gym as well as documenting my ever-evolving fitness journey. I’m always keen to listen, learn and share knowledge in equal measures. I enjoy finding gems of wisdom and influences from all areas of life; both in and out of the gym. I believe that fitness should be part of your lifestyle and that in order to follow a successful exercise regime, it’s essential to address and control all other aspects of your life. Your fitness journey is never complete so always be open to new things. I also love a cliché! You can also follow me on: www.Twitter.com/MichaelD_PT and my YouTube channel: www.YouTube.com/user/BigMikePT
