Whether you’re interested in competing or lifestyle coaching, you can always count on transparency, accountability, specificity, structure, and teamwork. The goal isn’t just to help you reach your goal(s), it’s to help you understand how we get there.

What style of coaching is best for me?

online competition coaching

Competition coaching includes individuals interested in, or actively competing in the IFBB/NPC or INBF. We’ll work through an improvement/off-season, and optimize all the necessary variables to place you in the best starting point to begin a successful prep.

“Coach Mike and the Set the Standard team have been amazing . Mike is genuine and understands the body and how to form and create a positive mindset experience as well as creating goals to see the transformation you want . I’m forever grateful for his coaching abilities to me as well as his whole team.”
— Jacob Felicitas

online lifestyle / transformation coaching

Lifestyle & transformation coaching is for the individual who would like guidance & structure, whether you’re just beginning your journey or have hit a plateau, to adopt a sustainable, healthy lifestyle.

“I started working with Michael after a less than stellar coaching experience. Working with Michael has been a night and day difference. He helps me to not just reach my goals, but also understand what it is and why we’re doing it along with constant oversight and motivation. If you’re thinking about it, DO IT!”

Meticulous attention to detail.

 

On the back end, I track every single metric. Correlate all the data, analyze trends, assess biofeedback based on decisions and adjustments we’ve made. Every adjustment is methodical and specific to the individual. See examples below of data collection for my clients.
