"This opportunity gives me the chance to thank you for the tremendous results that I had during the time that you were coaching me (1.5 years). Although I had years of experience in the martial arts I was new to grappling. Nevertheless when I started to train at Pancration and submission grappling I had great success in a very short time. The reason was superior physical conditioning. To my surprise I managed to win against guys that were 10 to 15 years younger than me with greater experience in grappling, simply because I was moving faster, being stronger and lasting longer. Results speak for themselves. A million thanks."--Antonis Kaniaros
"Mike I wanted to thank you for the Nutrition Program you put together for me and let you know how it is working out. In one month I have lost a solid 10 lbs going from 216 to 206. What is more important is that I have GAINED strength during this process, and I have lost two inches in my waist! I believe this was because the program you designed for me was custom tailored to my body, i.e. the type of fuel that I run best on. I also enjoy knowing that not only should I eat my favorite foods but I HAVE to do it in order to keep everything balanced. As with all of your products, your services are top notch. I would highly encourage those who need guidance with their nutrition to have you put together a custom based program tailored to their individual needs. Of course they can always throw caution to the wind like I did and get overloaded with the sheer volume of what passes as good nutritional advice these days. I will continue to let you know how it goes! Thanks Again!"--Josh Belser
"I have enjoyed this program immensely.
Thank You for passing on the knowledge you have gathered to me. I think back
through the last six months:
Anyway, thanks a ton. I'll drop you a line periodically to let you know how things are going and I will make sure I stay current on your site. I'm excited to share what I have learned with anyone who is interested. Thanks again!"
--Ron
Priestly
"I wanted to let you know how much success I had while on your program. I continued in a maintenance phase while deployed. I arrived back today and was told that I needed to perform a PT (physical training) test. A PT test in the army consists of pushups, sit-ups, and a two mile run. On my last PT test I preformed 41 pushups in two minutes, this time I did 60. As for sit-ups 50 last time, 72 this time. However most surprising to me was the run, my last two mile time was 16:20, this time it was 14:20. I did not expect to make that much improvement with out ever running. Thank you again for all your help."--SGT Tell M Hunting
"My vascularity is pretty insane now, I don't think I've ever been this vascular before. I can see veins in my biceps and especially forearms, and even my quads."--Derek Barrett
"Thank you for an amazing 6 month program. The RKC last weekend was grueling but fun and because of the help you have given me I made it through no problem. This was my goal and you helped me make it happen. Your program is no B.S. it's the real deal. I have met with some of my old colleagues that I have not seen in quite some time and all they can say is that I look the best I ever have. I' m now 44 years old and I feel great. Forget about NutriSystem, forget about Bowflex This is an investment that really works and you helped me all the way with patience and confidence."
--Mike Sanders, RKC Newton, N.J.
"I have to say this program really kicks ass. Everyone I know has noticed a difference in how much leaner I look already, and it has just been two and a half weeks (out of a 6-month program!) I am noticeably stronger (the girlfriend loves it;) Needless to say, I can tell you that I look forward to every work out, and I will be purchasing another six month program when this one is done. Thank you."
And five months later.......
"I want to say THANK YOU in a huge way. This
past weekend was the RKC, and thanks to your program I am officially Mike
Provost, RKC!!! Not only did I ace it, I took third place (majority of
the audience thought it should have been first, but it was fun so it’s
cool;) in the technique competition, but I blasted through the snatch test and
every workout they threw at me. The heavy Kettlebell work translated to
the light bell work perfectly, and the workouts, while certainly challenging,
never made me tired for more than 30 seconds to a minute afterward.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!"
- Mike Provost, Reno, NV
"I have had kettlebells for about 3 1/2 years. And all of that time I thought I was seriously training. I mean I have several videos and books. I saw the program on Mike's website and wondered if the other testimonials were hype or if they were the real thing. I mean what type of workout would/could he put me on that would give me " RESULTS" ? Well, I'm hear to tell you that every, and I mean every workout was a challenge. Within two to three
weeks, I noticed a vast improvement in my endurance. Slowly but surely my pants began to get baggy and other people started commenting on how I appeared to be losing weight. Two weeks more and I started to see my old friends " my abs " again. The comments continued. The thing is that the scale didn’t change, but I burned bodyfat and put on some hard functional muscle. Functional because I went from barely being able to strictly military press the 88 with my stronger
arm to being able to press it 7- 8 times with my weaker arm after a workout. I went on to press the 106. I don’t say this to brag, I say this because had it not been for Mike and the program he put me on, I would not have the strength and endurance that I have now. I would not have witnessed the TRUE power of kettlebells. The man knows what he's talking about and knows how to get you results. On his sight he says that if you want results to stop wasting time, so
STOP WASTING TIME!!!! Not only will you get results physically, if you pay attention and READ, you will Learn a tremendous amount. Thanks MIKE!!"
- Cortez Hull, St. Paul, MN
"Lost 10 lbs and went down from a size 12 to a size 8 in jeans – that was something I expected not to happen for another 10-15 more lbs! So thanks for your guidelines – they really have helped a lot."
— Michele Milevoi
"I really appreciate all of your advice and input, as I know that's how I got to where I am. I know that three months ago, I wouldn't even have conceived of the possibility of being able to DL 175!"
- Christine Oh, NYC
"For women out there who have tried everything. I have always been fit. But I have always been bulky fit. On the HOC program that Mike designed for me I have become leaner than ever. In six months I have gone from a bodyfat percentage of 23% all the way down to 14.5%. I am 36 years old and I have never felt better."
- Staci From Punch Gym in R.I.
"Mike, this is THE BEST program I’ve ever worked with. I saw results with my body after only 2 days of training Leonie and my parents noticed it too). My whole body started to define and tone up. This is also the first program where I really feel every muscle in my body working and weak links are spotted immediately. I love this program and I’m looking to next week."
- Joey van Tienen
"I am a firefighter who got out of shape from lack of sleep and exercise. Your plan made me loose 25 lbs in 3 1/2 months, lower my resting heart rate from 85 to 55 bpm and made me a lot stronger with tremendous stamina. I passed a physical agility test at work that 20 year old kids were failing and I had 2 minutes left. I could have done that test twice in a row because of you. thank you!"
- John. McMahan
"About 12 weeks ago I purchased Mike's supplement recommendation program and have followed it strictly for the past 12 weeks. My goal was to continue to improve my PL #'s and also take off about 5-8 lbs. because the 181 class was getting more and more difficult to make (and it is getting close to summer) - I love PL, but I plan on being the best 181 lifter I can be - I don't love it enough to weigh 220 or 242 in 5 years (LOL).
Results after 12 weeks:
Lost 6 1/2 lbs.
Squat went up 21 lbs.
Deadlift went up over 12 lbs.
Bench Press went up 10 lbs. in the gym before I hurt my shoulder.
Yes, you can get stronger AND lose fat with proper eating and supplementation for a period of time; however, don't expect that trend to continue - I met my goal and am really happy with the results. I recommend Mike's program highly - it has helped me evolve my own supplementation tremendously. Thanks again Mike for all the help!"
- Thomas Phillips, www.ThomasPhillipsFitness.com
"The program has worked extremely well. Since I started, 6 months ago, my endurance has increased tremendously. My strength and explosiveness also. Before starting I could do a pull up with 40 kg hanging from my waist. Last week I tried with 48kg and managed to do two reps. Six months ago I could press the 32 kg bell for one time and now I can do six reps. The training has increased my striking power and did not hinder my martial arts training. Taking into consideration that I do not train under optimal conditions, due to the fact that I have a family and career, these results are beyond any of my expectations. Congratulations Mike, you’re the man!"
- Antonis Kaniaros
"These workouts are awesome! I haven’t felt this great in 10 years! My energy level is better, and my clothes are all too big for me, and I can’t wait to see the results of doing this for another 7 months."
- Kathleen Clark, WA
2007 is over! Was it a good training year for you? If not why not? Did you make the progress that you set out to? If yes, congratulations. However, if you are not making any progress or not as much progress as you deserve you need my help. Otherwise, expect 2008 to be another lame training year to add to your list of disappointments. The main reasons why people fail to achieve their fitness goals are lack of focus and lack of accountability. Personalization is the future of training success. Generic programs only work for a few people. The masses need a program that is personalized to their needs and goals. However, none of this matters without accountability.
If you are only accountable to yourself it is easy to miss a workout, watch TV instead, or have few drinks with your friends. If you do not have a focus or clear goals in mind, then forget about making any progress. How are you supposed to get to where you want to go if you don’t even know where you want to go? Do you have the time and dedication to test drive a variety of programs until you find something that works for you? Do you know how you should personalize a program for yourself based on your unique situation? If you do then you have already achieved the fitness goals and should not even be reading this page. Find something else to do. If not, you need my help If you do not know how to personalize a program for you unique situation, then you need some help from me. Life is too short to waste on training frustration and lack of progress. Your health and time are more important than that.
Pick a plan below and when I receive notification of payment I will email you a profile questionnaire to acquire all of the information that I need to get started on your program. I will send you an email if I need more information. It will take me about five to seven days to design your program and email it to you. Why so long? Because I actually put a lot of time into your program and do not take your money and time lightly.
You want the best, then expect to pay for it and have patience. Once you start the program you are required to email me your training journal every Friday for my review. However, if you do not email me, do not expect any reminders from me. I am not a baby sitter and expect adults to act their age. I am not here to motivate you or make you feel good about yourself. I could care less about that. I am here to get you results. That is what you are paying for and that is what I deliver.
Regarding the journal, no need to get fancy, just use MS word and record each workout and any comments that need my attention. This keeps you and me accountable. You have access to me via email during the entire duration of the program to make sure that you stay on track and I always get back to my clients in a timely manner. If you do not hear from me, then you have a problem with your email account. That is a certainty.
Q: Do I need to have kettlebells to sign up for your program?
A: No, many of my online clients do not do kettlebell training and I can design a program based on what you have access to.
Q: Do I have to be a member of a gym to sign up for your program?
A: Not necessarily. It really depends on your training goals and what you have access to at home. For example, if you want to get bigger and stronger then you will need more than 15lb dumbbells and a stability ball.
Q: Is nutrition and supplement information included in the service?
A: I may recommend some supplements based on the answers that you provide in the profile questionnaire. I also provide some basic nutrition guidelines. However, the program does not include a personalized nutrition plan. That is a separate service that many people sign up for in addition to a training program.
Q: Is a three month program simply one program with three months of consulting?
A: No, the program is modified every month to keep things fresh and to keep progress coming. Modifications may also be made every week or two depending on what is going on. However, if you do not send me your training journal regularly as expected do not expect any modifications. I need to see how things are working for you to make changes.
Q: Can I call you up to talk about the program?
A: I prefer that we communicate by email. It is much more efficient for both of us.
Q: What if I am not familiar with an exercise that you recommend?
A: I will send you photos and descriptions of the exercise. Also, if the exercise is not a fit, we will have you do something else.
Q: I am a whiner and I am lazy. I like to blame other people for my lack of progress. Am I a fit for your service?
A: Not in your dreams. I only work with proactive people that want to make positive changes. I recommend that you take some therapy and pay someone to listen to your luxury problems.
Q: I hate training and need someone to motivate me, can you call me up every day to get me going?
A: Thanks for your interest but you are not a fit for my service or training philosophy. I recommend that you get Richard Simmons' "Sweating To The Oldies." I expect adults to act like adults and take responsibility for their lives and well being.
Q: Are your programs appropriate for women?
A: Of course they are and I have plenty of female clients that kick ass on my programs.
Q: Why are your rates so high?
A: I have spent thousands of dollars and many years acquiring all of the training information that I have. I am constantly doing research and staying on top of what works. High quality service does not come cheap and I have never attempted to be the "walmart" of strength training. What is the cost of being unhealthy and down about life?
Q: I do not have a paypal account, can I send you a check?
A: Sure, but keep in mind that you do not need to have a paypal account to pay for the service. All that you need is a credit card. Just add a program to the cart and click the "secure checkout" button. Once on that page, scroll to the middle and see the section that says 'I do not currently have a paypal account." Click the button there and you can use your credit card to sign up. It is very safe and secure.
Q: Do you offer a money back guarantee?
A: If your follow my recommendations to the letter and email me your journal every Friday without fail and do not receive any results, I will offer you a refund. Again, be honest with yourself and do not blame me for lack of progress when you are not following my recommendations. If you have been overweight for ten years do not expect to undue all of the damage you have done to yourself in one month. Have a long run approach instead of expecting instant gratification. The refund request must be made within 30 days of starting the program.
"I'm very pleased with the progress I've made towards my goal of attaining optimum health. In the past three months, I've dropped 16 pounds and approximately 5% body fat, and I am stronger than I've ever been in my life. I'd like to send you a big THANKS for providing me with an exercise regimen and basic nutritional guideline that actually works! Being required to send a weekly log has motivated me to be 100% consistent with exercise, and it has ingrained a lifestyle change that is a permanent factor in my life. For those who are considering the one month trial, I recommend you skip it and order a 3 or 6 month program depending on your goals. I've ordered the 6 month program and am ready to take my health and fitness to the next level. I also recommend Mike's excellent DVD: Mahler's Aggressive Strength - Kettlebell Solution for Size and Strength."
- Clint Clark, Lake Forest Park, WA
"It's 2 months since I started and I have put on over 7kg (15lbs). Not too shabby hey? This is awesome.. I never thought these sort of results were possible for me. Can you believe my stupid doctor told me that because my dad was skinny, it wouldn't be possible for me to gain muscle? What an idiot! I'm nearly done with my 16kg KB's and once I am, I might "one-arm swing" one through his front window. ;-) Anyway, thanks for such a great program, I'm totally enjoying it and it works!!! It's like you've designed the magic formula or something."
- Beren
"Been training with kettlebells for over a year now and have been watching your videos pretty religiously. Haven't done any contact sports of any kind up until recently, but they have helped me tremendously with my rowing. I started playing pickup basketball a couple weeks ago, it's the first time I've played in about 6 years. I just had to write and say people bounce off me and I don't even feel it. I drove the lane last night and stuck my shoulder in this guys chest and he doubled over, I didn't realize how hard I hit him. I can back anyone down in the post with ease. If I get my hands on a rebound, it's mine and I'll rip it away from anyone....and I firmly believe this is because of the kettlebells. Of course I still can't jump and my basketball skills are pretty horrid, but that'll come along ;)Thanks!"
- Andrew Markowitz
"If you are looking for deceptive strength, a lean physique, and more functional strength instead of poser muscles then Mike is the man for you. Mike provided me with the perfect program that blended fat burning along with strength building so I never felt weak. I felt more compact, faster, more efficient, and freakishly strong considering my bodyfat was dropping.
While on the program I went from a tight pair of 34 waist pants to easily fitting into 32 waist pants. I went home to a class reunion and the feedback was great. Everyone I knew kept commenting on how great I looked or the fact that I hadn’t changed a bit. Actually, I had changed a lot but they just didn't see me three months earlier. I transformed from a soft 220 to a tight 205. It was nice to go to the reunion and not be the one who put on an extra 15, 30, or 40+ pounds.
My grappling partner outweighs me by 25 to 30lbs and he could not believe the ease with which I was able to control and move him often times being in a disadvantaged position.
I guess the best compliment is to say I will definitely be purchasing Mike’s program again. Thanks Mike!!"
- Dax Morrow
"Five weeks in and I've gained maybe a little over 5 pounds! Bench Press has gone up more than 25lbs! Deadlifts up 50 pounds! Can't quite say on squats because I started out using the Smith Machine now I'm doing them free. All the other lifts are up significant amounts also! I'm more excited to go lift now than I have ever probably been! Every time I go in there I'm making gains, the weights are always increasing in at least a couple things!
- Conrad Stalheim
"I just wanted to pass along my recommendation for Mike Mahler’s Personalized Training Programs. To me, the two most important things about his service are the accountability and the feedback. There have been many times in my busy schedule where I have felt like blowing off a workout, but the fact that I’d have to report that usually provides the added incentive I need to get it done. Also, it’s nice to get some feedback when you run into some difficulties.
The bottom line on any service is results. Here are the results I’ve achieved so far:
Trimmed almost 3 inches off my midsection
Went from 21% body-fat to less than 15%
Started out using 35lb KB’s. I couldn’t even do one military press with the 53 lb KB. Now my workouts are done using the 70lb KB’s.
Improved my scores on two successive physical readiness tests. Cut almost two minutes off my mile and a half time. Maxed out on push-ups and sit-ups.
I’ve seen a pronounced change in my physique. I can’t recommend Mike’s service highly enough."
- Jeff Brokab
"How do you get in the best shape of your life with a customized program and expert advice every step of the way? Contact Mike Mahler! I have been working with Mike for 6 months now and have enjoyed all the hard work and excellent results. My program is fine tuned for my fitness level and designed to reach my personal goals without any guesswork.
Mike is extremely knowledgeable in all areas of fitness and nutrition. He also knows what type of equipment yields results and which supplements actually work. Along with a customized program I receive a weekly newsletter, via e-mail, that is both inspiring and informative. There is also a wealth of information on his website. Mike is an excellent trainer and I highly
recommend his services to anyone who wants to finally get on the right road to health and fitness. He will make you train and live life aggressively!"
- Billy Penn
"I decided to invest in Mike’s services and test them to my “Real Life” schedule and responsibilities. As a new dad with a two year old and an infant, entrepreneur involved with four business startups, a good American supporting my share of the economic debt/stress and with some lingering injuries from my younger days of ego induced bravado – I was a
prime candidate to give Mike a run for his money. Mike took many of these variables into designing my program towards meeting my strength goals. He clearly recognized that I’m not a professional and adapted the training and volume to meet my stress, schedule and energy reserves. I had three months of my normal life crashing into my daily schedule preventing me from following
Mike's program to the letter, but regardless the results where inescapable. My already lean body is more chiseled; my balance and form are rock solid. All my lifts from deads to every KB variation have seen dramatic increase in weight/bell size and….. I feel great! He even was patient enough to answer my amateur questions along the way and make me a smarter athlete. Thank you
Mike Mahler for you service and for being in my corner through the ups and downs. I can’t wait for the next 3 months!"
- David Williams
"I just finished a 12 week program that Mike designed for me. Mike's program design is outstanding! The accountability factor checking in every Friday really helped me stay on course. I am a trainer and design programs all day and usually the last thing I want to do is design my own. I can tell you write now that 2 pairs of eyes are better than one and especially when they are Mike Mahler's! For the most part I had 3 months to test-drive a program that most of you are getting with Mike's new DVD...Kettlebells: The Solution for Size and Strength."
- Brad Nelson, RKC
"Mike, this is THE BEST program I’ve ever worked with. I saw results with my body after only 2 days of training (Leonie and my parents noticed it too). My whole body started to define and tone up. This is also the first program where I really feel every muscle in my body working and weak links are spotted immediately. I love this program and I’m looking to next week."
- Joey van Tienen
"For anyone that's hit a training plateau, I would definitely recommend Mike's personalized program. In three months with his workout regimen, I increased my pressing strength more than I had in the previous two years with kettlebells. The program was simple yet brutal, always a great combination. I have since begun another three-month program to take it up yet another notch."
- Al Shaw, R.I.
"Hello Mike. I posted a thank you on the DD site and I just wanted to send one directly to you. Following your HOC protocol helped me immensely in becoming a member of my Police Departments SWAT team. I really appreciate your contributions to the DD community"
- Wipeout 149 on DD forum
"Mr. Mahler is the "Man" To be honest I was a little skeptical about his views on nutrition, unconventional as they may seem, he is right on the money with he sound wisdom coupled with his extensive knowledge in what people need and want. My energy levels are up ten fold, with a drop of ll pounds of bodyfat in the last 3 weeks. His HOC workout should not be overlooked or underestimated. If you really want to be ahead of the game check out Mike Mahler."
- Cremdela On the Dragondoor Forum
"I am a 70 year old retired truck driver and heavy equipment operator and since retiring have returned to the gym after many years absence. While checking out the different body building workouts looking for something new I found your article on volume training. I just wanted to thank you, because I just started my eighth week and this Monday I did 10sets x 5reps x 80lbs, along with the rows.10x5x160 When I started out on this workout I was doing drop sets starting with 85lbs and only seven reps. I can actually feel a greater increase of strength and stamina now, I'm not piling on slabs of muscle, but have increased about 5 to 6 lbs of lean mass this year. The neatest thing about this is the boost to an old mans ego and the compliments from some younger guys that are half of my age and can't lift as much. Ha Ha"
- Karl Qualls
"I just wanted to let you know that I enjoyed your program. I was in the military, and PT consisted of a heavy dose of running. I really like the fact that you substantially increased my running ability with a relatively minimal amount of running---I never would have thought this possible without running 4-5 days a week."
- Colin McGarty
"I just had to write and tell you that the program is kicking ass for me. I tried to get a two arm press with the 72's two weeks ago and could barely get one rep. Today I got 12 sets of triples and probably could have gotten four or five for the first few, which I'll try next week."
- Mike Brown
"Just wanted to drop you a line to say thanks. Using your HOC principals with kettlebells has helped me to shed 31 pounds and my strength and energy are through the roof. The great thing about the HOC workouts is they only get boring if I let them. I can change the exercises, or order, to keep them fresh."
- Shane B. Mankato, MN
"I just wanted to let you know that I have been doing your HOC work out for three weeks. I have dropped several pounds and yesterday hit my goal weight of 150."
- Jerry Nelson, VA
"Much of my workout strategy, especially with KBs, is thanks to your work. I do believe that some people are meant to be teachers, to bring out the best in others as well as themselves. You strike me as such a person. You provide a great example of how one should live."
- Eric S. Bruesch, Dallas, TX
"I may have already said this on numerous occasions but, I want to say again now that I am 5 weeks into HOC how great this really is. Over the last 5 weeks I have lost a total of 14lbs and 4%BF, from my figures. I started this program at 242lbs and 20%BF and am currently at 228lbs and 15-15.5%BF. Thanks Mike Mahler!"
- Ken (Meani on the dragondoor forum)
"I put up a few dollars about a month ago and had Mike Mahler put together a customized workout for me. I feel so much stronger and faster than I did just last month. To get a feel for my increase in endurance and speed, I entered a 5k race. Here are the results: -41st out of 211 runners -Total time of 23:18 -6th in my division - 7:31 min/mile pace Not elite results by any means, but last month I felt like I would die after running only 1.5 miles at a 8:30 pace. I felt awesome after this 5k. What really surprised me was that the only running in my workouts over the last month has been HOC for no more than 2 miles total distance. Thanks Mike."
