Reform Health & Performance

Michael and Tori are fantastic! I have dealt with a stubborn nerve injury in both elbows for 4+ years. This injury started from weightlifting, and I was unable to lift normal everyday things for a couple years, then very light weight for the last couple years. I went to see Michael and Tori when resting was no longer healing the injury. Occupational therapists and doctors had done all that they could (beside surgery, which I was reluctant to get), but Michael got me back into shape. He's very knowledgeable in manual therapy and fitness training. I was skeptical that I would get back to weightlifting as quick as Michael predicted, and it was actually quicker than he estimated. Side note, I'm no longer living in the area, so I'm not a client anymore. Regarding training, Michael is very knowledgeable and experienced, and he was wise about when to push me and when not to push me (considering the injury). I also really like his style of conditioning, even though it's tough. Michael always knew what weights I should try, what variation of each workout to start with, and what "homework" I should do at home. There was never any time wasted, and he always explained the rationale behind different workouts, form, etc. I didn't work too closely with Tori, but I believe she's a great trainer, too, and I encourage anyone reading this to at least consult with them if you want to become more fit or work through an injury in an effective, methodical way.

I am in my 30s and have been dealing with lower back pain for a long time. I have not been able to consistently workout without irritating it for years now. I sat down with Michael earlier this year and he knew exactly what I had been going through. I signed up on the spot and have been consistently training 3 times per week with no pain, all while making tons of progress. On top of that, the facilities, equipment and people in this gym are excellent!

Don’t let intimidation from the machines and weights hold you back! Even as someone who has been active my whole life, I initially felt a bit nervous—mainly out of fear of injuring myself. Ironically, the one major past injury I did have actually improved as my other muscles grew stronger. Reform does an amazing job of addressing your individual needs and ensuring you feel supported every step of the way. Plus, it’s genuinely fun—I always find myself wishing the workout lasted longer!

Reform has genuinely been life-altering. I’ve gone from someone who was mostly sedentary, to being in the best shape of my life! More importantly, I’ve had two non-workout related injuries over the past 12 months (sprained ankle, torn MCL). Both times, Michael and Tori have catered the sessions to my needs, be it a session that was mostly physical therapy and stretching, or custom low-weight exercises that have helped with recovery. Neither injury has required any outside therapy, and I feel very confident that would not have been the case 12 months ago. There are a lot of places around town that make you stronger. There are far fewer that make you HEALTHIER. Thankfully, Reform does both, and does it well!

I am 70 years old have been working with Michael for 1.5 years. He is without hesitation the best practitioner I have ever worked with. Michael understands the human frame . The muscles, Tendons, bones and most of all the brain. Working with him has not only made me stronger but I am more agile. Not many 70 year olds can dead lift 300lbs. I can! If you want to be fit overall,accomplish your goals and stay safe this is where you should be. RVS

I am recovering from a back injury coming from CrossFit where I worked out 5-6 days a week. Michael has been great in guiding me through various movements and stretches and feel more energized than I did working out only 3 to 2 days a week. I would recommend Michaels program to anyone looking to improve their fitness and overall health.

I've practiced yoga with Tori for over 5 years. I'm a 42yr old husband, very busy father of (3) small kids and an engineer. Yet, with a lot of help from Tori, I've never been in better overall shape. I regularly run, cycle and practice vinyasa yoga. It's Tori's coaching that has enabled me to healthfully continue (and improve!) my journey of endurance sports long after my body as left it's 'invincible and reckless young man' season of life. I can't speak well enough of this Tori; she's the real deal. She's has the knowledge, insight and expertise you're not going to get from your own internet research. She's a true health coach - and just generally a fantastic person to be around! If you're serious about taking care of yourself, wherever your at on your health journey, you've found your 'secret weapon' right here with Tori.

Michael is on another level. I've had shoulder impingement issues my whole life. I've been in and out of physical therapy and even had 3 shoulder surgeries. 3 weeks of training with Micheal has shown more range of motion results than I ever got from therapy. Infact, I'm certain that if I had worked with him when my issues first started in my 20s, I would have never needed surgery. If you have any mobility issues at all, go see him! Now! Before it's too late.
