Today we’d like to introduce you to Mike Thomson.
Thanks for sharing your story with us Mike. So, let’s start at the beginning and we can move on from there.
I went to school at MSU. Got my degree in Exercise Science thinking I was going to be a physical therapist. But, after 2 internships, one with a physical therapist, and one with a nutritionist/personal trainer. I knew physical therapy wasn’t my speed. I wanted to be on the preventative side. So, I graduated and headed to Chicago in 2005 to start my career in personal training/coaching.
We’re always bombarded by how great it is to pursue your passion, etc – but we’ve spoken with enough people to know that it’s not always easy. Overall, would you say things have been easy for you?
I would say for the most part it has been a smooth road. The hardest part though, just like any careers, is the amount of time I put into program writing, emails, following up with athletes….etc. That’s the unsexy, non-glamorous stuff that has to be done though.
So, as you know, we’re impressed with Fast and Fit Coaching – tell our readers more, for example what you’re most proud of as a company and what sets you apart from others.
Fast & Fit Coaching is a health and wellness company. Some of our services include – personal training, online run, triathlon and strength coaching, group strength classes, track workouts, fascial stretching and nutrition & lifestyle consultations.
I specialize in customizing programs for runners and athletes looking to optimize their time in the gym and on the running path.
What sets us apart from everyone else….our information.
What am I most proud of…our team/coaches. We are a diverse group of coaches all contributing in our own specialties. We have bike, swim, run, triathlon and strength coaches that specialize in each of the areas.
So, what’s next? Any big plans?
We are currently working on launching our nutrition & lifestyle programs. In the past we’ve done hundreds of one-on-one nutrition consults. Soon we’ll be doing small groups at once. More information to come. We’re also looking forward to our new fat loss and run programs that can be purchased off our website at a discounted rate from the custom programs.
