Mike’s BIO.

He/Him/His

Mike is the co-owner of DIAKADI Fitness Performance Life. Mike is well aware about the importance of longevity when it comes to fitness and overall health. Knowing that as we age, our bodies and priorities change, Mike works to create truly individualized and successful fitness and lifestyle (sleep, stress, balance) programs for his clients. Your fitness should not end as you age, it should improve!

The foundation of Mike’s education and his in-depth study of the body began during his training as a paramedic and continued through his certification programs with the National Academy of Sports Medicine (CPT, CES) and the CHEK Institute (Exercise Coach and Holistic Lifestyle Coach). Growing up an athlete, he learned firsthand the effects of proper weight training, nutrition, muscle development and flexibility programs on the body. Over the course of his own training, Mike has lost over 25 pounds of body fat, while consistently increasing his muscle mass. It is through the combination of personal experiences as well as his education, that Mike is able to fully evaluate each client for weaknesses or problem areas using a thorough, up-front assessment (posture, muscle imbalances, flexibility, movement and health screens). Using this gathered information, Mike designs comprehensive programs and creates inventive workouts that lead his clients to efficient and successful achievement of their lifestyle and fitness goals.

Mike has over 20 years of client success stories ranging from:

  • Commit to Fit contestants losing an average of over 90 pounds per year

  • Functional strength and rehabilitation for a client with double hip replacement surgery

  • Pre/post natal strength training and body fat reduction

  • Pain reduction and elimination from low back, shoulder, or knee injuries

Mike has been actively involved in sports since the age of 5 and lifting weights since he was 17. Working as a fitness and lifestyle coach, he enjoys the chance to pass on the benefits and lessons of living a healthy lifestyle to others.  Mike has trained clients from all walks of life with each person seeking their own unique goals. He looks at personal training as a career where he can inspire people and help them do things with their bodies that they never thought possible. Mike enjoys surfing the waters of Maui with Billy and their nephew, snowboarding the mountains of Tahoe and biking around his hometown of Clayton. When not coaching clients or managing DIAKADI, Mike can be found spending time with his 2 German Shepherds as well as volunteering for various German Shepherd Rescues within the SF Bay Area.
