MEET OUR TRAINERS
We started strive in 2016 and since then myself and my team of coaches helped change and transform many individuals from weight loss, to mental health and a complete lifestyle change. I have been in fitness for over a dozen years and truly care about each individual that walks in the door. Who’s next?
I have lost over 45lbs & 10% body fat since 2012. I made a lifestyle change and have helped many others do the same. My passion for fitness will show you I’m not here just for giggles but to coach you on how to Strive!
I have worked out since I was a teenager but never took it seriously or had the guidance to make a real, long-lasting, and sustainable change…that is until I joined Strive in 2018.
I’m Mike Kelsey. I started my personal training career back in 2014. My love for fitness and helping others led me to it. I specialize in muscle gain, body recomposition and weight loss.
Carlos Flores is a martial arts instructor, practitioner, and stick fighter. He has a background in Tae Kwon Do, Jeet Kune Do, Dog Brothers Martial Arts and various other styles/systems he has dabbled in. He has close to 20yrs of martial arts experience.
I have been active in fitness for many years, teaching indoor cycling since 2001 and yoga since 2017. My cycling certification is with Schwinn. I began doing yoga in 2005 during a particularly challenging time in my life and it was so therapeutic.
It’s been 3 years since I decided to walk in the door at Strive and it has been life changing. I finally found a place I can be comfortable and a place that keeps me engaged by offering a huge variety of workouts and continually evolving/changing it up.
