I am enjoying benefits to my neck (arthritis) my hands, (also arthritic) and generally feeling better all around. The main benefit has been the fact that I feel confident that I will be able to maintain the program and not slip “off the wagon.”
I am surprised that someone like me, who loathes exercise in any shape or form, can be lured into doing this program quite willingly – simply because I now know that it will work. The other benefit has been the fact that I look and feel better. I LOVE the fact that Mike comes to the house. The other thing I really like is the knowledge that I am not wasting my time. Mike makes sure that each exercise is being done very precisely and thus, progress is assured.

I am retired and age 62 I want to retain muscle mass as well as flexibility to play golf . I want to be able to do jobs around the house as I age. Mike has designed a program for me to follow plus better nutrition that seems to be improving my health/fitness condition. This is huge because before Mike I was doing the exercises wrong.
What I like is the fact that you come to our house and design a program using the equipment that we have and showing us how to do it properly and having the patience to make sure we are doing it right. Mike has given me titles of books to read such as
books on nutrition plus the effects of aging
on the body that helped considerably.
The More you know about your body the
better you can look after it. People of all
ages but most specifically Baby Boomers
would benefit from this service.

Mike has provided me with a personal
program that actually reduces the amount
of time I was dedicating to exercise.
He has worked with me to focus on the
correct techniques of the exercises so
I gain the maximum benefit from each exercise. He has also provided me knowledge of the correct technique for the exercises to maximize outcome which enables me to spend less time exercising while improving the results of the exercise. Mike has provided me with nutritional information that I was not aware of before to help me maintain muscle tone and flexibility as I age. I never feel like you are rushing me to get the session over in a specific time. Offering a variety of options including books, nutrition, etc. in addition to the exercise routine provides an overall package that I can choose to take advantage of. Being patient, listening and offering suggestions and alternatives, plus offers me a challenge to do better on an ongoing basis. Anyone who wants to feel better about themselves in terms their emotional, mental and physical well being would benefit from these services.

I originally hired Optimum Performance Fitness
because had been working out without getting results.
The programs were much shorter and simpler than I
was used to. A real benefit was being taken through
a step by step approach to gradually improve my
fitness level and seeing myself reach my goals.
Having Mike as my trainer has been the best thing I
have done for myself ever! I have lost about 20 lbs
and gained a significant amount of muscle mass.
It has improved my posture and helped me combat
job stress. I would say before you decide to join a
gym or start any kind of exercise program, meet with
Mike and discuss your needs before you do anything.
In the long run you will get better results and probably
save you money.
Paul Moore Project Manager

I originally hired the services of Optimum Performance Fitness to improve my level of fitness. I decided to do this after seeing the success my husband was having with Mike. I like that Mike always does follow up phone calls and emails. He follows up after setting up programs to make sure there’s no problems and listens to what it is I want to achieve. Anyone that wanted to start a fitness program but had no idea on how to go about it would benefit from these services.

I am looking to join a Police Force and wanted to get back in shape. With the help of OPF I lost 25lbs and dramatically improved my cardio activities. The main benefits of the program is that it is tailor made for me and very flexible. What I liked most was the phone calls, checking up on my progress. Any person who needs that little bit of help to get motivated or who wants to use the latest techniques and proper form would benefit from these services.

I hired Optimum Performance Fitness to achieve permanent weight loss. Mike is very attentive to issues specifically related to me. Seeing the physical changes in my body is exciting. I believe this has helped to improve my posture and contribute to increased confidence. The thing I like the most is the feeling that the services are tailored specifically to my needs. This is beneficial because of the flexibility of scheduling along with the fact that Mike comes to my home. The people that would benefit from these services are individuals with demanding schedules who know they will benefit form something other than a one size fits all.
Andrew LaRocque Controller

I wanted to lose weight that I had gained over the past several years. Mike was able to show me a complete breakdown of what I was eating in a day. He designed programs that were easy to follow and helped me get in shape. I really like the fact that I don’t have to leave my home to exercise. People who don’t know what to do to lose weight properly would really enjoy this service. I actually like to exercise now.

I wanted to strengthen my back and eliminate my lower back strain. Mike showed me exercises that didn’t bother my back when I did them. Knowing that someone was going to be checking up with me stopped me from procrastinating. I now find I want to do more. Now I’m working on improving the rest of my posture.
Dan Feeney
London, ON
The original reason for hiring Optimum Performance Fitness, was to learn about better nutrition and how to eat. I learned when to eat certain foods and how to group foods together. I have gained a confidence I lost a long time ago by losing weight and eating better. I can do more things with my kids. I look forward to going to the gym everyday and miss it when I cannot go and I am more conscious when eating, I think before ordering if I am out and make plans now of what we will eat and keep more vegetables and fruit on hand. I liked that you cared about me and how I did with my nutrition and you wanted to make sure I stayed motivated and made me set goals for myself and made me answer questions to help me realize what I was doing wrong and what I was doing right. The information that was provided to me, it makes it easy to go back and review. Everyone would benefit from these services!!!!

My reason for hiring Mike was to get my body into a well toned state. He’s shown me how to exercise properly to obtain greater success. I like the personal touch. Having someone know what my needs or wants are. People who would benefit from these services are people who wish to look like someone they thought they never could. I’ve noticed changes in my shape, size and definition.
David Disher Landscaper (business owner)

The original reason for hiring the services of OPF was to get in better shape as I age. For me the fact that I can do this at home on my own time is a great benefit. What I liked most about the services is having things explained in detail and worked through with me. I like the fact that I know I can phone with a question or/ concern any time. People stuck at home with kids would really benefit from these services.
Michele Krisa Manager
London, ON
I contacted Mike because I was tired of trying the same old diet and weight loss programs over and over and wasting my own time and money without achieving the results I wanted. What made me choose Mike's program initially is the fact that he offers the convenience of coming to your home. Mike introduced to me a program that worked well with my schedule, was varied to keep me interested, and easy to follow.
He concentrates more on an overall healthy lifestyle rather than obsessing
over numbers on a scale, which was a welcome change for me.
I also like that this is not a "quick fix" program but instead a healthy lifestyle model.
Mike is encouraging and very easy to talk to and has helped me realize that I'm capable of achieving a level of physical strength that I didn't think was possible for myself. I'm very happy with the service Mike provides and I would recommend this to anyone who needs new perspective and guidance from a professional who can help them achieve their personal best! I feel a new level of confidence in myself and am looking forward to a continued healthy lifestyle thanks to Mike - a big THANK-YOU!"

What Clients are Saying About Telefit Phone Coaching
I wanted to start a fitness program to help loose weight and work it around my schedule from home rather then a gym. I have lost about 12 pounds and kept it off after trying for several years giving me an incentive to keep using what I have learned to make a lifestyle change for the better. The system with the goals and Caltrac to monitor my activity give me flexibility over a week Mike was available to answer questions about planning out my activity and to give me workout exercises to increase my strength too. If you want a flexible, easy, convenient way to work out on your own schedule and doing things that you enjoy to burn calories and increase your personal good health, it works great.
Pat Raab Administrative Clerk

I knew what to do. But I just wouldn’t do it. I was going back to see family and couldn’t do it looking like I did. Mike gave me the push that I needed. I knew if I didn’t follow the goals we set out that I was going to have to answer to Mike. It was a great experience, it really worked.
Jack Fong Sales Manager
Monroeville PA
Anybody who does not work with a regular day to day predictable schedule will benefit from the phone coaching services. I was traveling a great deal and found it difficult to make regular workout sessions. I like this program because Mike offers a good, sensitive perspective on how to deal with my particular challenges. The two main successes that I have enjoyed are goal setting for my personal well being and working on better ways to time manage my life.
Ian Davies Entertainment Agent
London, ON
Working with Mike has been a life changing experience for me. The TeleFit sessions consistently provide fresh opportunities to discern the true nature of my procrastinating. It made me become aware of where I am with my weight, where I really want to get to and most importantly, what I need to do to get there. Mike’s coaching provides a gentle but effective accountability mechanism to keep me on the path that I have chosen. In just a few months, I've seen my stress level drop and my clothes fitting loose. It’s not complex but it works.
