Mika describes himself as an evidence-based lifter who understands that everybody is unique. He believes that what works for one person may not work for another, which is why he finds joy in designing personalised training plans that match each client’s goals, body structure, energy levels, and lifestyle.

Having been morbidly obese for most of his life before he began training, Mika deeply understands the daily struggles plus-sized individuals face. His coaching philosophy is simple: make fitness enjoyable, safe, and accessible for everyone, no matter their starting point or background. He aims to create a judgment-free space where clients feel supported, capable, and proud of their progress.

Before becoming a trainer, Mika was a semi-professional football athlete, giving him a strong foundation in discipline, movement, and athletic performance. Today, he brings that same drive to help others work hard, get good, and keep getting better.

His training belief: Work hard to get good, then work harder to get better.
