Maicol is an amazing stand up guy, he’s helped me with my training and also has given me core advice in training others. Always energetic and a stellar motivator. His ebooks are amazing and he sells them at a great price. They are all filled with information, easy to read and keep you engaged through the entirety of each book. I would highly refer anyone who is looking into either starting or advancing in fitness to him. At first engagement it will become very apparent that he truly cares about you, and your goals. And through his knowledge and training there’s no doubt in my mind if you put forth the commitment and stay dedicated that he will help you achieve them. Overall he’s an amazing person to work with, and I’m am very grateful for the time he’s taken in helping me on my journey!

Maicol’s stepper body workout was the experience our family needed to get us going in the right path of physical training, nutrition and overall health. After only 1 month, we love seeing our improvements with the goals we had in mind. We worked out and improved every part of our body with his scheduled stepper program. He makes it easy by only using one piece of equipment every month. His weekly Sunday Reflections allow us to keep motivated and each individual in our family loves his live streams and detailed complete guides, really making him an organized physical trainer. We are ready for “medicine ball” and every new monthly plan our innovative trainer designs!

Maicol Santos has been my on and off personal trainer for a year now. I’ve always been scared to go to the gym specially at my heaviest but Maicols kind and friendly personality made me feel super comfortable being there since day 1. He’s always wanting to go above and beyond for his clients. When I needed help with food he helped me meal prep for a week to teach me about food portions and what is best for my body. He’s very flexible and just great all around. He’s made a huge impact non my life and I’ll forever be thankful. Go get your workouts in with him! ;)

Maicol has been the best person for the job for me. I needed to get moving after months of being sedentary so I was looking for someone energetic, nuanced, easy to work with and collaborative. And, of course, the ability to push me in the areas I needed help. Maicol checks all the boxes as a personal trainer. We work outdoors in the Forest Park area, where he puts me through my paces, pushing the envelope just enough to help me breakthrough, while being observant & sensitive to how I’m performing at all times.Icing on the cake is that he’s kind, flexible and a good conversationalist. I’m lucky to have found him for my fitness needs. I endorse him whole-heartedly, 100%.

I had goals of losing a bit of belly fat and growing my glutes. Maicol trained me with exercise but he also introduced me to a new lifestyle. How to reach my goals through nutrition, how to push myself even on my lazy days, and how to keep a positive mindset through it all. Maicol truly changed my life and I’m forever grateful!!

Maicol is the best personal trainer Ive experienced over my 30+ years of fitness training. His ability to connect and presence makes our workouts a breeze - theres no question that Im going to show up because he is there 100% all the way! I have injuries to my ankle and he has personalized training and encouraged dialogue about my perceptions of my body, balance, strength as I become aware of them. Maicols training promotes a life-long positive relationship to awareness of my body and my self. Best hour of the day!

Maicols mentality is different, its contagious. I thought I had pushed myself in my trainings before, but training with him has been on a whole different level. His motivation is unmatched! But the results speak for themselves. Thanks for what you do Maicol. Excited for whats to come in the future!

Working out with him was such a great experience overall. At the begging you get weighed and everything gets checked like your level of fat. These results are then used to show your progress throughout the months. You also set goals and he is so helpful to get you to achieve them!

My experience working with Maicol was amazing! I had been struggling with maintaining a healthy lifestyle after graduating from high school and no longer being involved in sports. I was introduced to him by my family and decided to give it a try. I never felt intimidated or insecure while at my sessions. He is very attentive and always has a positive energy. He works with you one on one in order to reach your goal. There were instances in which I thought I could not reach my goal and he did not let me quit. He also shares tips on very yummy meal plans! If you are looking to make lifelong changes when it comes to your health he is the one to go to.

Maicol is amazing! Really present and you get an amazing workout! Maicol is very kind and listens to you about what you need and what you want and really works with you to obtain those goals! He’s a great motivator! My advice is to do yourself and your body a favor and try a workout with him. You will NOT be disappointed at all! My favorite part is how much he advocates for a healthier lifestyle! It’s not about making this grand change after a day it’s about how you can incorporate little things to help you live a long healthy life! Whether it’s be through your body, nutrition or day to day activities!

For a little more than a year I was tying to stay active and work on seeing results on my own. When I started working out with Maicol: he found ways of pushing my limits in ways I didn’t know where possible. He motivates me every second of the workout and is truly inspiring. I feel healthier and fitter! Capable of achieving more and more every session. And that’s what you look for. Recommend 100%!

Maicol is quite simply the best personal trainer one can wish for. I spent 9 months training with him so far. He offers a complete program that not only focuses on exercise but also nutrition. Also he focus on learning to make healthy habits and eating decisions.When it comes time to working out with Maicol, you will never know what he has up his sleeve. He constantly varies exercises and switches up workouts. He pushes me until I was there and then a little further.Last but not least, Maicol is very flexible with schedule. You just let him know what time works for you, 4am in the morning or 9pm, he will squeeze you in! Without hesitation I would recommend Maicol to anyone looking for a personal trainer.”

I started working with Maicol 6 months back. My goal was to trek the Everest Base Camp in Nepal. I was able to successfully complete the trek without any injuries. It would have been impossible to achieve this dream without Maicol’s strenuous 2 months training. Based on the training schedule prepared by Maicol, the main area of focus was to strengthen the shoulder, legs and improve endurance. He used a combination of different training techniques like squats, deadlift, treadmill, lunges, leg press and ensured the target muscle groups were always challenged . This not only made me strong , but also gave me immense confidence during the entire trek.Its always fun to workout with Maicol. During our session, he is very attentive and always ensures that the quality of reps is more important than the quantity .He provides a diary to track each of the exercises. He makes a note of the reps and weights for the exercises during the session. This helps in pushing your body to the next level in the following sessions and also keeps a good track of your progress.There is never a dull moment even when our sessions are at 6 am . He is very passionate about fitness and he brings a lot of enthusiasm and positive energy every morning. He is very patient and provides a customized workout plan based on the client’s goal . To simply put he is the guy who can help you achieve your dream goal with equal dedication if not ,more than you - I highly recommend him .

I began my journey with Maicoi two months prior to heading out for a month on the beaches of Brazil. At 53 and 20+ pounds over weight, I needed some help. We set specific goals that included a strict diet and three weekly workouts. I dropped the weight and hit our goal for body fat loss. It was a lot of work, but extremely worth it. Ive continued to work out with him and weve set new goals. He is incredibly motivating and extremely accountable. Ive had multiple trainers before and he is hands down the absolute best.

Maicols drive and enthusiasm is contagious. He went above and beyond my expectations not only as a trainer, but as a friend, and as a mentor.

After going through the intense chemo therapy process, I found my self lost when it came to strengthening my body. I found Maicol once I made the decision to stop guessing and instead get a personal trainer. Weve been working together over the last 6 months and I cannot believe how I feel! I look forward to all of our workouts and will continue to work with him for months to come. Hes not only a great trainer, but he became a close friend as well. Not only helping me physically, but mentally. Cant wait to reach all the goals we set together.

Maicol was very caring and attentive to what I needed, He found out my limits and challenged me to do better. He encouraged and motivated me. He made sure I was doing the workouts correctly and to the best of my ability. He has passion to help his clients start attaining their goals which I think helps him connect easily with them. Every 2 weeks, we would goover my progress and he would answer any questions that I had. I enjoyed going to workout with Maicol. I would highly recommend Maicol to anyone looking for a trainer.

Review №46

I’ve been working with Maicol on and off over the past year. I’ve had knee replacement issues which is why I needed to take some time off due to my physical limitations. More recently over the past 45 days I have been working with Maicol on incorporating healthy eating with some exercise to get back into physical shape. The healthy eating has really helped in managing my weight with the limited exercises. I feel much better than I have since the healthy eating plan. I am down 15 lbs and my energy level has increased tremendously. Maicol really understands how to take a full approach to getting healthy through exercise and healthy eating. If you are looking to get results, look no further.

What can I say about this awesome person. When I started along with my other two sisters this journey, I had doubts of being able to be transformed. But since the beginning Maicol was so essy to work with , very informative and supporting. Big smile and energetic🤣. I had alot of issues like low energy , overweight, thyroid problems, but honestly what made me decided to seek for his help was that I wanted to be an example to my kids of being a healthy person. Maicol is being a big help and I was feeling better and better as we kept working together. And he goes beyond the 4 walls of the gym, he is always giving the xtra mile to get you where you want to be. I am very thankful to him and something that I ll never forget is when he said, I dont do this just for money, I do this because I want to help out people, to be HEALTHY, and no matter what bad habits(foodand excersice) we have , there is always time to start a new life. Thank you Maicol for being not just a trainer but an amazing guy and also I really thank you for the time you gave to my son for his soccer training👊
