TESTIMONIALS
"I have been training with Mike Kates for over 10 years. In my opinion as a person and as a trainer he is in a class of his own. He has mastered every aspect of training and delivers a highly customized program for each individual."
Ken Arlen, Director of Ken Arlen Orchestra, Producer of Arlen Music Productions
"Training with Mike has me entering my fourth decade stronger, leaner, fitter than I’ve been my entire life. Mike has made me an athlete, mentally and physically…with his expert guidance I’ve achieved things I thought impossible. Mike knows what to say to help me get to the next level, the right cues, the right example, the right words. I find a reserve of strength, energy, endurance that I didn’t realize I had. I can look in the mirror and think the hard work is paying off and I love the challenges Mike throws my way. I never regret a workout.”
Helen Lesser, Personal Trainer
"I’ve treasured my time with Mike! He’s got a wealth of knowledge and experience. I’ve trained with him since 2011 and I am still learning new things. I like to bounce ideas off of him, whether it be about maintaining strength or how to recover for the next day and improve my lifestyle in general. Through casual conversations like that, I’ve grown as an athlete and, most importantly, as a person. I could always count on Mike to be consistent, showing up every day with a plan and ready to work. More importantly, though, He’s a role model and a friend! "
Charlie Tilson, Chicago White Sox
Mike Kates goes beyond just being a personal trainer — he’s a lifestyle and nutritional coach who truly cares about his clients reaching their goals, and making a lasting positive change in their lives. He’s kept me fit, and injury-free after teaching surfing for the past 18 years. Mike has the perfect balance of tough love trainer and common sense teacher of his wealth of knowledge and experience in exercise and nutritional science. Mike’s also a humble charger of waves, mountains, and cement skateparks. He even started skateboarding when he was 40, showing us that it’s never too late to pick up a new sport. He walks his talk and inspires me daily that aging is all a state of mind. Keeping an active lifestyle, eating simple foods simply, and having a positive mental outlook are the keys to staying young at heart, mind and body! Go train with Mike Kates — you’re life and fitness will benefit tremendously. Mine certainly has! Mahalo nui loa Mike

Michael Kates and I have been working together for the past 16 years to support my maintenance of a healthy lifestyle. Mike knows the importance of both physical and emotional health. Through his training as a life coach, he is skilled in focusing on both aspects of well being. The most obvious positive outcomes of my training with Mike have been a speedy and complete recovery from hip replacement surgery, endurance in hiking and enjoying tennis several times weekly. I prioritize our training sessions which I see as all important for healthy aging and value my relationship with Mike greatly. I’m looking forward to my 83rd birthday and to training with Mike well into the future.
