I had a major lower back injury during my football career which caused me to lose two years of athletics. During that time I gained seventy pounds because all I could do was physical therapy and some walking. The two years after I was cleared to start working out again I lost the seventy pounds to my pre-injury weight. From there I spent two more years gaining thirty pound of muscle and pursuing a degree in Kinesiology. I took a job at LA Fitness and the rest is history.

When I bring in a new client they first fillout the required paperwork to work with me. This includes an assessment. This in addition to talking to the participant allows me to get to know them from the past to the present. From there I identify things that will need improvement to reach their goals and we go step by step from there.
I have trained clients ranging from 10-80 years of age. I have two primary groups of clients though I have trained athletes, ceo's, small business owners, teachers, and everything in between.
Group 1 is 25-45 years old high achievers (people who are generally motivated looking to excell in their career or in life in general)
Group 2 is 60+ years of age who want to make sure they are safe while exercising and want to live as healthy as they can for as long as they can.
I'm willing to work with anyone who has a good attitude and a willingness to learn!
This is from a blog I wrote recently.
Not All Personal Trainers or Professionals are Created Equally
A few thoughts on when hiring a personal trainer if it is on your 2020 to do list.
1. Cost should not be your number one thought, while it is important to remember to stay on budget many times what you pay is what you get. Better trainers with more experience generally charge more. Expect to pay $50-$100/hour
2. Education and certifications should be checked. Dont assume your trainer who markets themselves as a trainer is a professional. Ask them about their education and certifications and make sure those responses align with your goals. (NSCA, ACSM, Kinesiology, Exercise Physiology are great)
3. Experience. Sure there are good young trainers, but there is something to be said about someone with 6 or more years of experience. This is especially important if you have health issues or injuries. If you choose to work with a younger trainer ideally they will be currently mentored by an experienced trainer or company. (Personally I would look for 5 or more years experience, but if you are working with someone inexperienced make sure they are learning from someone remarkable and experienced)
4. Liability insurance. Make sure they have a policy to protect you if something unexpected happens.
5. Personality. Do you like to be screamed at, talked down to, or belittled? Some trainers do this. Some people like this. Others don't. Make sure your trainer matches what you are trying to achieve. (Reviews for a trainer are a great way to see what others think of your trainer)
6. Looks. Don't assume a trainer who is shredded knows how to train you, some people are genetically gifted. With social media anyone who is in shape can pretend to be a trainer. (Think of a trainer as a coach. Most professional bodybuilders have a coach, they aren't the coach themselves)
7. Training specialty- If you want to improve your golf game find a trainer who specializes in that, if you want training and you are older look for a trainer who works with older clients. This also goes for losing weight or building muscle. Experienced trainers have probably worked with everyone, but someone just starting out may not have.
8. Final thought. Not everyone is meant to be a Formal Fitness Training client and we always refer people to the best trainer for them if that is the case, but I'm always here to help you with your fitness and life goals! My promise is I will always educate, grow, and improve myself so that I can help educate, grow, and improve your life.
When Covid-19 hit my business pivoted big time. I went from training out of three gyms and going to three clients houses to training exclusively in my neighborhood and virtually on Zoom and Facetime.
I also started a small business mastermind group designed to bring business owners together to talk about our struggles and successes during the Covid time period so that we could lean on and learn from each other.
A few things worth thinking about before reaching out
Is this a short term goal or a long term goal?
Am I willing to do whatever it takes to reach my goals?
Do I have the time and resources to devot to this?
What exactly do I want?

Mike’s enthusiasm and encouragement helped me break out of lockdown inactivity and increased my energy! Slow and steady with emphasis on nutrition and continuity in your program wins the race. Highly recommend working with Mike!
Whether you are just starting out or are serious about moving your exercise program forward, get in touch with Mike at FFT. Not only is he very knowledgeable but he's a great guy as well.
This past year I was having trouble working out due to shoulder, hip and knee pain. Not only is the discomfort gone but my strength has more than doubled. He saved me a lot of time and money.Mike is more than just a trainer. He's a friend that truly cares about the well being of his clients. This isn't just a job for Mike, it's a passion to help people become the best forms of themselves that they can be. Whether physical, mental or emotional, Mike conquers it all with a smile on his face and positive attitude and outlook. If you're looking for someone who just wants to collect a paycheck for making you sweat, look elsewhere. If you want a personal trainer that will help you in every aspect of your life while continuing to grow and develop to become the best trainer he can be for his clients, you want Mike. Hands down a phenomenal human being and someone I can call a true friend.
I knew Mike a couple of years before I started with him. I saw him working with people at the local “y”. After seeing him interact with those people I actually recommend him to others at that point. I’ve had on going back issues for many years and after talking to him I made the decision to have him help me out. Mike worked me through various workouts and stretches to help strengthen my entire body which helped ease my back pain. He has a calm way with his approach and I believe anyone can benefit from his guidance no matter your fitness level.
My wife and I worked with Michael for several years and he's not only a great trainer, but a genuinely great person. We were in the best shape of our lives while training with him. He will help you get results using positive reinforcement, and push you to your limits without being overbearing. We hope to begin training again with him in the near future.
I have been training with Mike for about a year and a half. He is caring, personable, knowledgeable and keeps me motivated to live a healthier life. I am 75 and work with Mike 3x a week. He devotes time and attention to my flexibility, my strength and cardiac endurance. We have a great time and share enjoyable conversation during every session. Mike is definitely the go-to guy for putting you on the right fitness track!
There are many "personal trainers" out there. Mike is the real deal combining the right educational background (B.S. in Kinesiology, PSU) with real world experience. I've worked out with Mike for several years. He's passionate about what he does, personable, responsive, results-driven. I recall asking him a question one night by text and then my phone blowing up with advice and websites backing up his answer. The guy loves what he does! He's been a great resource for me and has also developed sport-specific workouts for 2 of my daughters. Highly recommend!
I came to Mike looking to improve my fitness and golf game. I used to be a 95lb weakling and now I am 105lb and can hit a golf ball further than ever. Despite a rotator cuff tear from skiing, Mike was with me every step of the way during recovery to make it stronger than ever! If you are looking to improve all areas of health and fitness Formal Fitness Training and Mike can get you there. Did I mention I’m a senior citizen?
When it comes to getting in contact with my trainer it was easy and fast! I loved the results I seen while under instruction! One of the strongest seasons I’ve had so far lifting! If you want to step out of your comfort zone and have a challenging program to follow, Go to formal fitness👌
Words cannot express the appreciation I have for Mike (owner/trainer of Formal Fitness). Mike can relate to anyone regardless of fitness levels and exceed your expectations. This is what I got from Formal Fitness Training..... Physical Therapy, more fit, better overall health, education, a friend and a brother. I wish Formal Fitness continued success and truly am excited for what the future holds for this company.
Few exemplify more passion for what they do then Mike. His knowledge of health and fitness, coupled with years of practicing what he preaches is as tried-and-true as any professional in this industry. Mike will give you his most honest opinion at all times, because he genuinely cares about helping you. He will get you results, without any nonsense workout or diet programs that may compromise your safety. He believes in good old-fashioned hard work, discipline, and consistency. Train with Mike for whatever your fitness goal and know that you are in good hands.
I actually live down in Maryland and work with the owner remotely over FaceTime. It’s only been a couple months but I feel like it’s made a difference. It’s the motivation I need to get healthy and get in shape. I’ve got a long road ahead of me but I know Mike will help me get there!
Mike is amazing. He is everything you could want in a trainer and coach. He is supportive and really gears your workouts and plan to your specific goals. His knowledge in what he does really shows. You get a total body workout and feel great when your session is over. Highly recommend Mike and Formal Fitness Training.
Mike is a great trainer and truly cares about his clients. He offers customized nutritional guidance and has a way of connecting and believing in you that supports your overall well being. His coaching goes above and beyond physical health. Sessions are peppered with humor and helpful information. I look forward to training with him every week. I saw results within the first month.
This review has been long overdue. I have been working with Mike for a little over six months. Mike has been the first trainer I have ever worked with and I consider myself profoundly lucky. His drive, non-stop work ethic, and motivation to help others provide an inspiration for his clients to achieve their best “always”! I am fortunate to partake in several types of classes he has to offer which include; online training (virtual), one on one training, and group training. I would give everyone of those 5 stars. If you are several hours away or want to workout in your home I definitely recommend the online training. I opine that Formal Fitness Training LLC does not only take part in your physical health but Mike also deeply cares about your mental and spiritual well being. He has been a mentor, coach, and through this training he has become a friend. I wish nothing but success for this company. Thank you everything you do!
I have had the wonderful opportunity to work with Mike through virtual training sessions. Mike’s workouts target all areas of the body, leaving me feeling stronger and fitter than before. Mike takes the time to get to know his clients and supports them both physically and mentally. I highly recommend Formal Fitness Training.
Mike is a great trainer to work with. After recovering from back surgery and learning that I need to be careful for the rest of my life not to re-injure my back I was afraid to go back to working out. Then corona hit and I was stuck inside becoming lazier as each day past. I was referred to Mike and started working out with him outside and FaceTime as needed. He took the time to learn what caused my back issues what surgery I had and how we can strengthen my back while concentrating on losing the weight that I gained during surgery and corona He took the time to learn what caused my back issues what surgery I had and how we can strengthen my back while concentrating on losing the weight that I gained during surgery and corona It was great to be back into action again not only did I lose the weight that I gained in two short months but I mentally felt better every single day
Mike is such a pleasure to work with! Success is the only option when trying to achieve any level of fitness goals and I am highly impressed with his level of commitment and passion in all he does! Very supportive to fellow small business owners and his community too, which is always a big plus!!
Mike is highly motivating. Makes working out fun.
Mike can quickly change up a routine depending on injuries you may have. My back had a tendency to go out, When this happens, Mike will concentrate on working that. By the time we are done, I no longer have pain!!!!
Mike spends alot of time working with you to figure out what will work best for you. Individualized program, plenty of great nutrition advice. He always wants you to succeed and will do whatever he can to help you get there. He’s got a terrific positive personality and is always striving to offer the best training experience for all.
I have been training with Mike Hartman for about 3 years. I am 74 years old, and Mike is working with me to enhance my strength, mobility and flexibility. I have issues with my lower back, and Mike works diligently with me to keep me pain-free. Mike is a very caring trainer and well-educated to personalize your fitness routine to your specific needs. He has become a great friend, and I always enjoy the time we spend together. He has definitely helped me to improve in all facets of my health and nutrition. You will not be disappointed if you choose to work with Mike Hartman! Give him a call!
After dealing with a collegiate softball back injury for about 10 years, I could not be more pleased with the overall mental and physical strength and knowledge I have gained in less than a year by working with Formal Fitness Training. I have been fortunate to have found not only an amazing trainer, but also a coach whom I call my friend. Mike is down to earth, compassionate and kind. He will motivate you to reach for goals you thought were impossible. I look forward to the energy of each workout and my future with Formal Fitness Training!
Mike is a great trainer. He is very personable and puts you at ease. He wants you to achieve your goals and works with you.
