Expert Testimonials
“In my professional opinion, Mike Hanley is one of the bright young innovative coaches in North America today. His open mind, knowledge and passion for strength & conditioning have made him a coach on the cutting edge of performance training. He is also willing to get down and dirty and put his own gluteus maximus (i.e. ass) on the line by competiting in every type of strength and power sport around. I always say that real leaders lead from the front, not from the back, well Mike certainly fit that idea perfectly! On the personal side, Mike is a fantastic all-around guy, he’s honest, disciplined and has a solid set of values. He is the kind of guy you want to be around if you want to succeed in sports, training or life in general.”

“Mike Hanley and Juliet Deane are both great trainers who walk the walk. They have both done it all, successful athletes, bodybuilders, powerlifters–always willing to learn new things that they can pass along to their clients. Instead of just reading about the latest training methods, Mike and Juliet immerse themselves in them to really understand how to do things right. You know that when you train with Mike and Juliet, they will stick with you every step of the way until your fitness goals are realized.”

He’ll be doing great things in the fitness world for many years to come.”
– Eric Cressey, Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Boston, MA, www.EricCressey.com
“I’ve been strength training for many years and train my own athletes. It is great to shoot ideas back and forth with Mike because he always gives a fresh perspective and unique solutions. I know Mike is an all around athlete and trainer who has competed in powerlifting, weightlifting, bodybuilding and the tactical strength challenge with kettlebells. Through the years, Mike has helped me with exercise technique, corrective training and nutrition issues. You can’t beat experience!”
– Jim Smith, CSCS, www.DieselCrew.com
“Over the past 15 years of practice I have had the pleasure of knowing many excellent doctors, therapists, and trainers, and through it all several of stood tall above the crowd.
I am proud to have been introduced to Mike, first as a trainer for myself, and then as a mutual provider of care for patients.
What makes Mike stand out in a crowded field is his never ending dedication to learning new information and integrating it into the workouts on an individualized basis for each person he is training.
I have seen him help so many different types of people, from moms and dads working their way back into condition after years of taking care of their children, and putting themselves last, to high level athletes and local superstars.
I am continually impressed by his knowledge and expertise at helping people that are currently injured to remain training while working around injured areas, and his ability to work together with people like myself, a health and wellness oriented chiropractor. I often find people in need of expert direction in their workouts and training, and I automatically think of Mike and his expertise in getting people back on track and motivated to reach the goal that they have set.
Thanks Mike for helping me to be in better condition that I have been in years so I can play with my family and continue to help serve the many people I do each day in my practice.”
Sincerely,
Jeff Ben-Ezra, D.C., Freehold, NJ

– Meredith Finn, Marlboro, NJ
How do I thank someone for literally giving me my life back? In the last 3 months, I have changed the way I eat. However, that is not nearly as important as the change in the way I feel. Although I have been on countless diets, where I have lost and gained weight, none of them have changed me mentally as much as the nutrition plan you have put me on. I won’t call it a “diet” since it has become a way of life for me.
I truly never feel like I am on a diet. I don’t dread going out to dinner anymore and I am never, ever hungry. In addition, I have more energy and I feel stronger than I ever have. As a lifelong ‘dieter’, I felt there was nothing new I could learn or any diet that was going to make a drastic difference. Your plan taught me about the right combination of foods so that I always was able to compensate no matter where I was. This is so important for someone who is constantly on airplanes, in foreign countries or in all day meetings. I learned to plan ahead and have been able to meet almost any challenge, even in Paris.
Most importantly, I am not nearly as depressed or down on myself anymore. Before I learned to change the way I eat, workouts in the mirror were disheartening. Instead of focusing on the fact that I was exercising, I was constantly picking apart my body in the mirror. I still do that, but I’m much better about it. The right combination of foods at the right times, really does promote brain power and helps give me a better
outlook. I really would have never believed it would make a difference, but it
really has.
Finally, I don’t think I could have come this far without your support and guidance. I can’t tell you what an inspiration you have been to me. I appreciate all your help and support and will continue to follow this plan and tell everyone I know how I don’t ‘diet’ anymore.
