With personal training, every client is different. The same can also be said for every Personal Trainer. If you’re merely looking for a “gym pal,” workout buddy,” or a trainer that will just go through the motions each session, then I am NOT the Personal Trainer for you. On the other hand, if you’re looking to make a serious investment in your most precious commodity (your body), then I am absolutely the right Personal Trainer for you. You’ll work hard, you’ll have fun, and you will get results!

There is absolutely no “one size fits all” structure in place with my results-driven progressive training methods and holistic approach to health and fitness. As your Personal Trainer, I’ll personally design a program tailored specifically to your needs and goals, and I’ll help guide you every step of the way. You’ll never be bored with your workouts as I combine a wide-array of exercise techniques, approaches, and styles into your individualized program to help bring about the best results possible, looking and feeling better every step of the way.

Let’s be honest, hiring a Personal Trainer (like myself) is a significant expense. But, it’s also an investment in yourself. You want to make sure you’re hiring the right Personal Trainer. I’m incredibly passionate about what I do and extremely confident in my abilities as a Trainer and Health Coach. When you hire me as your Personal Trainer, you can count on so much more than just our weekly training sessions together. You will also have access to a completely personalized training program through my Variant Fit training app to help supplement our in-person sessions.

I want to have a significant and positive impact that goes far beyond our training sessions, working hard to deliver the results you’re looking for. We’ll build a results-driven program that accesses your greatest potential both in and out of the gym. While nothing comes easy, the results you’ll see will be a byproduct of the effort you put into it. This isn’t cookie-cutter training and I’m far from a cookie-cutter Trainer. I get serious results for my clients.. No matter what your goals might be, I know I can help you achieve them. All of our in-studio training sessions will take place at a boutique private training facility located in Greenwich Village. In-home training sessions are available upon request (depending on location).

In studio or in home training options

Duet/Partner training options available

All training sessions are 60 mins in length and you’ll have the ability to easily purchase, book, and track all of your sessions right through my custom training app

My workouts with Mike have been a game-changer. His workouts are tailored to address gaps in my exercise, he always keeps it interesting and most important can drive up the intensity while making sure I don’t get nagging injuries along the way. Would highly recommend!

Mike’s classes really push you to the limit in the best way possible. I’m usually not big on workout classes but Mike’s 4x4 HIT circuit training gives me an incredible workout. I try to go as often as I can. The feeling of completing each session is second to none and I can’t recommend working with him enough!

Mike is an absolute legend. After 4 or 5 weeks, I’ve never felt better. He’s professional, attentive, encouraging and advises on much more than technique and fitness. I’ve learned about nutrition, habits, cardio mixing, and lots of other important tips that have shaped my regime. Big fan of Mike, I’d recommend him to anyone.

Mike is an amazing trainer! He is very passionate about fitness, capable of great enthusiasm, and a wonderful motivator. He understands the busy schedules of most New Yorkers, but is steadfast in his commitment to our fitness goals. More so, he understands different body compositions and age groups, making his training style more effective and sustainable. With Mike and Variant Fit, you get a great physical & mental coach, a wonderful app that makes tracking food & your workouts easier, and a comprehensive support system. Could not be happier with his role in my fitness journey!

I reached out to Mike to get me in shape before my wedding and took advantage of his virtual personal trainer services - and WOW did he deliver.His deep knowledge and expertise was critical in designing a program that helped me achieve my goals in record time. Mike’s commitment to listening and understanding my unique needs made every session feel tailored to me, and he was always accessible to answer questions or provide feedback. I was particularly impressed by the Variant App, which added a lot of structure to the program and it easier to monitor progress.I highly recommend Mike to anyone looking to take their fitness to then next level.

Mike is unquestionably the best personal trainer I have ever worked with. His approach is holistic - his workouts include strength, cardio, balance and flexibility - and always incorporate emerging techniques and new equipment to help his clients achieve optimal results. He is personable and accommodating - he offers in-studio, virtual and in-home (home or building gym) sessions. I have been working with Mike for almost 8 years, as has my husband and several friends. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to enhance their personal fitness!

Michael is wonderful- I can't say enough good things about him. I am so pleased with my personal training with him and with the results that I am achieving. Workouts always feel fun, dynamic and differentiated and Michael is an amazing motivator. Just the best!!!

I've been training with Mike for 4 years and highly recommend both his private sessions and small group sessions. Both experiences have been phenomenal. Mike is an extremely knowledgable instructor and knows how to customize a workout to fit his client's skill level and goals. He is patient, encouraging and extremely personable. I would strongly recommend his personal training sessions and his small group sessions to anyone looking to up their workout game!

If motivation, flexibility, and a personal approach is what you’re looking for in a trainer, then look no further than Mike Michalski and Variant Fit. Over the last seven years, I have trained with Mike one-on-one, in small group settings and remotely using the Variant Fitness app.We met when I was heavily into marathon running. He enhanced my training with focused strength and mobility work and enabled me to achieve several personal records. He also worked with me through injury and provided a recovery strategy that was highly successful. I’m no longer running marathons and our training shifted to accommodate new, post running fitness goals.I’m currently working with Mike remotely, through the Variant Fitness App. Mike has generated a program that takes into account the time I have to workout as well as the space and the equipment at my disposal (TRX, kettlebells and recently a rower). Week in, week out, Mike finds ways to surprise me with varied and rigorous sessions.In general, workouts tend to be between 40-60 minutes long. I enter in these knowing Mike is working to maximize the impact of the session. There’s no wasted time or effort. There’s always an emphasis on core, with exercises that challenge and expand balance and stability. His corrections on form are clear and edifying. His motivation is well timed and often served with a dash of humor.I have recommended Mike to friends and family as well as members of my industry (entertainment). One of these individuals was a lead actor I was working with on a Broadway show. Mike utterly transformed this individual in a matter of a couple of months (and made me look like a genius for having put the actor and Mike together!)It’s also worth saying that Mike is a really good guy who deeply cares about the people he trains. He keeps things on the light side and at the same time, pushes you achieve more than thought possible. It feels like a real partnership being trained by Mike. I referred him to you without hesitation.

In just 2 months of working out with Mike 2 times per week, I am down 1+ inches all around. I’ve never felt healthier and my mobility and strength have significantly improved. Work outs fly by because he always keeps them fresh and enjoyable. He’s also knowledgeable in nutrition and has helped improve my diet. I would recommend if you’re looking for an experienced trainer that’s enjoyable to workout with

I’ve been working out with Mike for over 6 years and would recommend him to anyone. When working out with a trainer - comfort is key. Mike excels at making you feel comfortable — he works to understand your goals, lifestyle, etc and work to adapt a plan around that. Never super pushy - but always clear as to what the goals are.I’ve worked both in private sessions and in group classes and would strongly recommend both.All sessions with Mike are enjoyable - no matter how much I might be dreading going due to a long day or whatever … he immediately puts you at ease and adjusts the plan based on how you’re feeling.He cares about his clients and helping them achieve their goals… not matter how long it takes!

Mike is absolutely the best! He has completely transformed both my body but also my mindset in the gym. I've been working out with him for nearly a year and the growth in my strength, understanding, and endurance is visually obvious. Mike isn't just knowledgeable about how to structure a tough (but survivable!) workout, he also knows how to adjust, manipulate, or modify each move to suit any injuries, soreness, or discomfort you might be feeling. He continues to teach me foundational techniques to make sure each move I am doing is done so correctly and with supervision, ensuring that I understand each set and keep my body safe. Each workout is equal parts exhausting, fun, and new and it makes each session something exciting to look forward to. Variant Fit isn't just about in-session, Mike customizes workouts for home so you can keep on target and continue to build. I absolutely love working out with Mike and highly recommend him to anyone interested in bettering themselves physically and mentally.

The outdoor classes that Mike hosts are fantastic! You get a great workout and plenty of tips on form. Lots of equipment to play with -- battle ropes, kettle bells, TRX, and more! Plus, it's simply just good fun.

Mike’s classes are awesome. Always challenging while taking into consideration the level you are at or any injuries you might be working through. Classes are kept small to focus on form though each exercise. Quality and fun workout every time!

Mike is a quality trainer who is both enthusiastic and professional. Each training class is capped at a maximum of five people meaning you get the attention of a personal trainer while still having the fun environment of group training. Mike is also a great 1-1 trainer and always looks at ways to improve his students technique. Mike also provides a great app which can be used for bookings and to track progress. A consummate professional, Mike’s reliability and enthusiasm for training make him a top choice in NYC!

Mike is the best personal trainer! He asked my fitness goals and tailored the sessions to my goals. He helps me work out in right ways and good forms. I didn’t realize how important it is until I felt that the targeted muscles actually work better after his correction. I used to go to fitness studios where the trainers can’t monitor my forms constantly. But with Mike, he makes sure the time I spend with him is effective. Not only he is a great trainer, he is also very good at communication. He listens to me and adjusts my workout accordingly. Always challenges me to push my limit. Every workout session with Mike is rewarding. Highly recommended!!!
