I have been a client of Mike’s for almost 10
years now. I can’t imagine how I might look or
feel if I didn’t treat myself to his expertise many
times each week. I don’t particularly like
exercise, but as a middle-aged man, I know it’s
essential for my well-being and my self-
esteem. Mike converts a duty into a pleasure,
something I look forward to. I feel secure in his
knowledge of how my body works and what will
benefit me most. No one is indispensable, but
for me, Mike comes awfully close.

Bad Shape – Good Decision
One year ago, at age 55, I was poised on the brink of a decline into an unhealthy and limiting old
age. I was more than 40 lbs overweight, easily winded, and limping at every step from a meniscus
tear in my knee.
Neither my doctor nor the well-meaning but unqualified ‘trainers’ at my local gym could tell me
authoritatively whether working out would hasten an operation or forestall it. Every day I became
heavier, which caused me to experience more knee pain, which led to more comfort-seeking
eating behavior and even less activity. Knowing I had little hope of correcting this spiral myself, I
finally decided to seek professional help.
I am fortunate to have found Michael Karr’s Full House Fitness on the Internet. His impressive
educational qualifications betokened a seriousness of purpose which was borne out when we
met. As a no-nonsense, type-‘A’ business owner, I am reluctant to put myself in the hands of
people who lack real expertise. Mike’s M.S. degree in Kinesiology from the University of Michigan
gave me confidence in his assertion that as long as I didn’t twist my knee, I couldn’t make the
meniscus tear worse. Subsequent results have proved his advice to be trustworthy.
Mike designed my program around the equipment that I already owned, and adjusted the workout
to my increasing level of fitness. Our weekly meetings have alternated between workouts and
nutrition consultations. Weigh-ins bring a level of accountability and ongoing motivation to the
process.
Following sound and understandable principles, I lost 35 pounds, dropped from 33% to 20% body
fat, and went from a 36” waist to 29”. My cholesterol levels fell – without drugs - to a point that my
doctor found shocking and unprecedented - in a good way! My knee is no longer a limitation, and
the need for pain relief or an operation has vanished. I have been able to incorporate enjoyable
activities into my training that I never thought I’d return to; long, brisk walks with my dog and riding
my bicycle for 50 miles at a stretch. Beyond all expectations and after decades away, I’ve even
returned to my college sport, fencing.
This isn’t a quick fix, and having screwed it up so comprehensively in the past, I know that I have a
long way to go before I’m able to maintain fitness long term, through all the challenges of life. Is it
inexpensive? No. Is it worth it? From the standpoint of an increased life span and greatly
enhanced quality of life, absolutely.
