Mike Wood, Owner
For me, Health and Fitness isn’t just a career, it is a way of life. I have spent over 5 years gaining the highest standard of education in the field graduating from University of Chester in 2011 with a BSc (Hons) Sport and Exercise Science degree specialising in Exercise Physiology and Exercise Nutrition. I didn’t want to be just another generic Personal Trainer fresh off a 12 week PT course. I am absolutely dedicated to ensuring I provide the highest standards in service and quality so my clients can enjoy the rewards of living a healthy lifestyle. I take a great deal of pride in my work and truly believe that the services we offer at Ultimate Fitness Cheshire are the best form of private health care money can buy (Prevention is better than cure right)? This is not Personal Training as you know it. It is so much more.

WHAT CLIENT'S SAY
Heather Crowther
“My body shape has changed significantly; I’ve lost weight and I can wear clothes that I’ve not worn for years and feel good in them! So many people have noticed the difference in me, which is great for my confidence. I feel so much fitter and healthier, and I’ve definitely got more energy.”
Laura Spooner
Having been a Yo-Yo dieter for many years and quitting smoking I had become increasingly unhappy with my size and lack of fitness. I decided to get back to the gym and attempt to do something about it. It was there that I noticed Mike training others and I thought I would give it a try.
I spoke to Mike in the gym who advised I book a session with him. I felt a little anxious about this as I knew I was out of shape and to be honest was quite embarrassed. I had an initial assessment which immediately put me at ease. After the assessment I was good to go.
I have never looked back since. I now see Mike once a week, mainly because I enjoy the sessions so much but he also gives me new ideas for my workouts. Mike is always at hand for advice if I need it. Not only have I lost all the weight I wanted to I am managing to keep it off. I have found a new love of exercise and have even entered a few competitions. My life has completely changed for the better.

I have now completed my Total Transformation Plan with Mike. I have been in training many times in the past but have never had the results I have had with Mike in such a short period. Mike has been an absolute rock for me, not only training me but helping me with the correct diet. The guy has an abundance of energy and a wealth of knowledge when it comes to training and Nutrition. The training sessions have been fun, enjoyable and different with each and every session, complete with a lot of hard work. Over the 5 weeks training with Mike I have lost over half a stone and am very pleased with the results. When not training, Mike has always been available for advice and is extremely helpful. Embarking on the Total Transformation Plan is by far the greatest journey I have been on, it has completely changed my life for the better; I have every intention of becoming a long term client. If you want to achieve great results and have a marked improvement in lifestyle, I would strongly recommend joining a program with them.
Mark Culley
Having been reluctant in the past to join a gym, I decided just over year ago to act on my fitness. My key reason for joining the gym was so that I could wear a slim fit shirt, a pair of 32 inch jeans and feel better about myself! With Mike’s knowledge and his abundance of energy I have transformed my life, look and boosted my confidence. My only regret is not doing it sooner!
I would recommend Mike at Ultimate Fitness Cheshire to anyone who has the desire to change their body or improve their fitness! Because let’s be honest it’s money well spent.

Having never really been into the gym I decided to join up just over 6 months ago, with the aim of getting into shape for a big holiday. The reason for joining was over a couple of years I’d put on around 18lbs in weight and I wanted rid. With the help of Mike I not only lost that weight I transformed myself as a person, I now love nothing more than going to the gym and lifting weights and training hard, I have a confidence I never knew I had and that’s all thanks to Mike.
