Welcome to Approach Fitness.

You took the first step—now let’s take the next one together.

What’s Next?

1. Answer The Phone, Mike Will Call Soon.

Mike will reach out in the next few business days to schedule a quick call—just 10–15 minutes.

It’s a chance to say hello, talk about what you’re looking for, and make sure it’s a good fit before moving forward.

2. Book Your Free In-Person Meetup

No cost. No pressure. Just a relaxed session at Mike’s studio in Menands.

This includes meeting in person, a brief movement assessment, and time to ask questions.

3. Build Your Personalized Training Plan

When you’re ready to start, purchase your workout package. Mike then builds a workout plan tailored to you using his A/B method for balance, repetition, and real progress.

This is where your fitness journey officially starts—with guidance, support, and zero intimidation.

Your questions, answered.

  • Perfect. That’s who Mike works with the most. This isn’t a bootcamp—it’s a calm, focused environment where you’ll feel supported, not judged.

  • Nope. This is the place you come to get strong, not the place you need to already be strong.

  • Mike gets it—life happens. Your package is flexible for 8 weeks, and Vagaro lets you reschedule when needed.

  • That’s totally normal. Mike’s approach is patient and personal. He’ll meet you where you’re at, and guide you from there—without letting you off the hook when you’re ready for more.

Small Group Personal Training at Approach Fitness gives you all the benefits of 1-on-1 coaching,
with the energy and accountability of a small, supportive group.

Training Philosophy:

Sustainable Fitness

Starts in the Mind

Mike believes that fitness isn’t about punishment or extremes — it’s about repetition, mindset, and making the next right choice, even when it’s tough. His hybrid training model focuses on realistic, repeatable progress through personalized small-group sessions.

Each plan is designed around the individual: their schedule, limitations, goals, and lifestyle. Mike meets people where they are — but he doesn’t let them stay stuck. He brings the structure, encouragement, and accountability needed to keep moving forward.

Your package is your commitment.

It holds your spot and sets you up for success.

You can do this.

  • Awesome trainer. Is very focused to make sure you are in the proper form to avoid injury and challenges you accordingly. Would highly recommend

  • Best trainer. Can intuit what your body needs. Works with you at the physical and mental “place” you’re at. Pushes just enough. Very data driven and results oriented.

  • Mike is the best! He’s experienced, knowledgeable and he sincerely cares about the health of each of his clients. Before I found Mike, working out was a chore. But now, I honestly love to workout, and I look forward to experiencing the new challenges he gives me each session.
