What Others Are Saying

If you are looking for a coach, a real coach, one who has decades of experience teaching, nurturing, and supporting everyone from busy working people to elite athletes, you can do no better than Mike Minium. I’ve known Mike for two decades and watched in awe at the application of his massively understated talent and abilities.

He is both progressive and rooted in evidenced-based, no-bullshit strength and conditioning. Whether you are looking for personal transformation or a coaching experience to take you to the next level, there is no one better.

I’ve had the privilege of working with Mike as my personal trainer for nearly three and a half years—three to four sessions a week, every week. And at 68 years old, I can say without hesitation: I am in the best physical and mental shape of my life because of his guidance.

Mike is not just a trainer—he’s a master programmer, a movement expert, and a deeply intuitive coach who customizes each session to meet me exactly where I am. When I came to him, I was recovering from a hip replacement and a total shoulder rebuild. Most trainers would have seen that as a limitation. Mike saw it as a puzzle to solve, and he approached it with patience, precision, and relentless creativity.

Every workout is built around what my body and mind need that day. He watches closely, adjusts instantly, and somehow always knows how to push just enough without pushing too far. That’s not something you learn in a weekend certification. That’s something you develop through mastery—and Mike has it.

More than anything, I trust him. I trust him with my health, my recovery, my future mobility. I’ve run businesses, written books, and coached thousands of professionals over four decades—and I know what excellence looks like. Mike embodies it.

I want to say this: If you have the opportunity to work with Mike—take it. Whether you’re recovering from injury, building strength, or just wanting to feel like the best version of yourself again, Mike will meet you there and walk the path with you. Steady. Wise. Strong.

He’s not just training bodies—he’s transforming lives.

When I first walked into CrossFit Oakland in 2008, I had never touched a barbell. I couldn’t run a block without stopping, and I couldn’t do push-ups, pull-ups, or jump rope—let alone climb up one. That all changed because of Mike. He was my first CrossFit coach—and of all the coaches I’ve had over the past 17 years, he’s easily one of the very best. I feel incredibly lucky to know Mike, to have been coached by him, and to call him a friend.

Mike is more than just a coach. He doesn’t simply correct your form or program your workouts—he combines deep technical knowledge with an intuitive understanding of human movement, and he has a rare gift for seeing your potential long before you do. Then he creates the environment for you to unlock it.

Mike sets the bar high and holds everyone to that standard. When I became a coach myself, what I learned from Mike about leading a class and communicating with people was more valuable than any formal training I’ve had.

I wouldn’t be who I am today without CrossFit—and Mike Minium.
