Wild Movement. Clearer Mind.
Stronger You.
Outdoor Training for Mind and Body.
What I offer
This isn’t just personal training. It’s guided movement, conversation, and coaching—designed to help you grow in strength, clarity, confidence and purpose.
Wild Movement. Clearer Mind. Stronger You.
My sessions take place outdoors—sometimes on the beach, sometimes in the woods, sometimes following a trail. Together we train using TRX suspension trainers, kettlebells, callisthenics, and the natural environment. It’s fitness, but it’s more than that.
We set SMART goals to make real progress—whether you're aiming to lose weight, build strength, improve your mental health, or unlock something deeper.
This approach is about helping you reach for your potential. We move the body, yes—but we also use movement as a tool to shift mindset, build confidence, and reconnect to what really matters.
Real Conversations. Real Progress.
In a single day, my clients might…
-
Set focused, trackable goals for fat loss and energy
-
Discover clarity around a new career path
-
Reflect on what it really means to “find yourself”
-
Or simply laugh, train hard, and walk away feeling lighter—in every sense
These sessions often feel like equal parts workout and reset. They’re full of banter, challenge, and meaningful chat. My job is to coach you through movement—not just count reps.
This is for you if…
-
You want to lose weight in a way that’s sustainable and empowering
-
You’ve struggled with motivation or low self-belief
-
You want to train in nature, not a gym
-
You’re seeking more direction, confidence, or energy in life
-
Or you’re already fit, but want something deeper, realer, and more connected
I also offer:
-
Life Coaching – on its own or as part of your training journey
-
Nutrition Analysis & Rebalancing – to support weight loss, energy, and balance
-
Online sessions – for bad weather or clients further afield
Whatever your goals, we build from where you are—with humour, heart, and purpose.
About me
Hi, I’m Mike—founder of Machine Like Me, and a coach who believes in movement with meaning.
I haven’t always been fit, grounded or confident. In fact, in my 20s, I was in a dark place. I’d lost direction, struggled with addiction and depression, and had no sense of who I really was. One night, a friend bet me I couldn’t complete the Marathon des Sables—a 160-mile ultramarathon through the Sahara Desert. I was drunk and said yes!
That ridiculous bet changed my life.
It gave me something to work towards. I got fit. I found structure. I completed the race—and I realised that movement was the key to shifting my mind and rebuilding my life.
I left my job as an accountant, retrained as a Personal Trainer, became a Meditation Teacher, and later qualified as a Life Coach. These days, I help others reconnect to themselves—through training, conversation, and purpose.
I don’t claim to have it all figured out. I’m still learning, still evolving, still doing the work. But that’s what I offer: a space where we move, grow, and explore together. Some sessions are sweaty and fun. Some are reflective and deep. Most are both.
Whether you’re coming to me for weight loss, fitness, clarity, or something you can’t quite name yet—you’ll leave feeling better than when you arrived.

Testimonials
"I started training with Mike following a breast cancer diagnosis. My life felt like it was spiralling out of control—fitness and diet were the two things I could still influence. I saw Mike’s ‘mindful fitness’ ad and reached out to see if he’d support me during treatment.
Training outdoors immediately appealed, and I gave up my gym membership. Throughout chemotherapy, Mike tailored every session to match how I was feeling. The workouts became the highlight of my week. Nature and movement did wonders for my mental health.
Now, five months on, I haven’t returned to the gym. I feel stronger than ever—and I much prefer training outside." G
"After COVID lockdowns, I needed to get back into shape. The idea of moving outdoors felt right, so I reached out to Mike.
He built a bespoke programme that gradually increased in intensity. Now, a few months later, my balance, strength, and stamina have all improved—and yes, I’m even jogging!
What makes the biggest difference is how he tackles the mental side of movement, too. This approach feels sustainable. I couldn’t be happier.
Honestly? It’s some of the best money I’ve ever spent—right up there with gig and travel tickets." Claire
"Each week, Mike asks what I’m facing in life—and we train with that in mind. Lately, I’d been feeling angry. He planned a boxing session and taped visual reminders of what was making me angry to the pads.
I really went for it. Then we ended with breath work to calm the body and channel that emotion. It was exactly what I needed.
Mike motivates me without ego. He listens, adapts, and deeply cares. I can train all week in a gym, but this—outside, emotional, honest—is the training I look forward to every Friday." Phil
"I feel like Frankenstein’s monster—my arms and legs don’t belong to me.
Thanks again, Mike!" Steve
