Pop quiz!  I'm going to get back to working out. (No, really, I am.) (Stop snickering, will you?) Should I:
(A) Attempt to kick my own *** at the gym multiple times each week;
(B) Trust my health to one of the overweight, underage "trainers" employed by said gym;
(C) Put my fitness in the hands of a certified personal trainer and champion decathlete who is built like a nordic deity and simply radiates health?

In truth, I first chose (A). It was, um, a poor choice. I then came to my senses and chose (C). I have chosen wisely. Miche (say MEE-kay) Hoffer of MichRoFit is an amazing trainer: experienced, smart, and truly interested in helping you safely achieve your own personal best.

I'm not sure whether Miche's greatest asset is his extensive knowledge -- what would you expect from a professional athlete whose career revolved around cross-training? -- or his quiet but firm motivation. His positive attitude is infectious, his demeanor is relaxed and fun, and yet I never forget that I'm working out with a highly trained professional, not a buddy. In fact, the workouts are so enjoyable it's almost (but not quite) a surprise when I'm so deliciously sore the next day. And it's great to be getting good solid coaching on such basic exercises as squats, cleans and presses -- not swept away in whatever the fitness trend du jour is.

I work out with Miche at their small but efficient private gym, but he does travel to clients' homes and other sites, and he and his partner Rowe Hoffer also lead group classes. I haven't worked out with Rowe -- with a background in volleyball and kickboxing, she's more oriented toward female "weekend warriors."

After about four weeks, I definitely feel and see results; and most telling, my overall energy and mood have improved and I really look forward to working out with Miche each week. Whether you're training for a specific sport or just for general fitness, if you're stuck with something resembling (A) or (B) above, cut your losses and call Miche today.

Now that I've clicked 5 stars, the burden is on me to prove my case. First, let me start by disclosing that I'm part of that diverse group of circuit trainers. I fall into the grandmother category. A grandmother who thinks she's much younger and has many more productive years ahead and I'd better not blow it!  

I met Miche through Rowe at a time when I had reverted to do-it-yourself training with not-so-great results. My good friend and former trainer had retired, and I just didn't trust most of the so-called trainers in the gym.

I signed up for a Saturday Circuit series. This is what I learned:  Miche is smart, engaging, professional and committed to giving his clients their best workout on any given day. It doesn't matter if you're a semi-delusional grandma like me, or a talented athlete in your prime, he will see to it that you are challenged to capacity. The end result leaves you feeling really good ... yes, a little sore and maybe tired ... but no question about that euphoric feeling at the end of the workout.

Euphoria leads to commitment - at least it did on my part - and got me into a second circuit class. With a little encouragement from Rowe, I started running. (Gasp, can it be???) Many friends and both ex-husbands would be shocked to hear that I'm training for a 10K this year!!!  

If you've made it this far down in the review, maybe you're already thinking about personal training, or trying one of the circuit training classes.  Consider this a recommendation.

I started working out with Miche (One half of MichRoFit) around a year back. Not only have I stared working out more often (4-5 times a week now) but I take a lot more interest in all things fitness-related - diet, supplements, other forms of exercise etc.

Miche used be a top notch decathelete in Sweden. I believe his overall scores were better than a quite a few scores at this years Olympics.

What I really like is that I can train with him, 1:1, at his private gym and he knows my strengths, weaknesses and general goals. Not to mention that we're gotten friendly over the past year or so and if it wasn't for our conflicting scedules we would probably hang out a lot more outside of training.

All-in-all, a highly recommended, knowledgeable, humble and hard working team (Miche and his wife Rowe - hence the name MichRoFit I'm assuming).
