I am a dedicated fitness enthusiast with a diverse background in sports including soccer, swimming, cricket, and volleyball.

Michael's Background:

• CrossFit Level 1 Trainer(CF-L1 Trainer)

 A competition enthusiast, I have always been passionate about sports and fitness! From a very young age, I have been involved in playing competitive baseball and basketball and have grown to love all types of activities such as running my first half marathon in 2019 and playing recreational football! 

Since trying my first Crossfit class in 2020, I immediately became immersed, and maybe obsessed in the sport and how it challenges my fitness and personal growth. In 2023, I decided to embark on a new challenge and have dedicated myself to coaching and supporting members within our 1UP community. I strive to bring enthusiasm, positivity, and energy to the classes I coach.  

I am committed to helping everyone pursue their own fitness goals whether that is through competing or working on the basics, while also making sure to not forget to always celebrate accomplishments big and small while always having fun throughout the journey! Join one of my classes to see how you can have fun while getting better each day or see more of my coaching style at @TitosLifts! Hope to see you in a class soon!

If you’re looking for a coach with tons of energy and passion for fitness, I’m your guy! I love creating a challenging and supportive atmosphere, where every workout feels like a step closer to your best self. My goal is to make sure you leave each session feeling stronger, more confident, and totally accomplished.

Along with coaching, I bring competition experience to the table, having competed in over seven events, both as an individual and as part of a team. I know the dedication it takes to train for and excel in competitions, and I use that knowledge to help clients push beyond their limits and find their edge.

Whether you’re training to compete or just looking to elevate your fitness game, I’ve got you covered. I mix up strength training, endurance, and functional movements to keep things fresh and fun, helping you reach your goals. There’s nothing better than seeing people surprise themselves with what they’re capable of!

Let’s take things to the next level together! I’ll bring the energy, encouragement, and the plan; all you need to bring is your commitment and a good attitude. Can’t wait to work with you!
