Michael Kotlaba

Originally from Danville, Virginia, I spent several years in San Diego, California —  the city of beaches and sunshine. Here I not only found my awe for the Pacific Ocean but also my passion for helping others become healthier through exercise. I was able to work with an incredible variety of people at local YMCAs, independent gyms and cardiac rehabilitation clinics during my time in California. I also completed my Master's Degree in Kinesiology which allowed me to become more effective at sourcing, interpreting and applying exercise research to training.

Many of my clients have enjoyed improvements in strength, muscle tone, weight loss, flexibility and posture. I have also spent time working with older adults on neuromotor skills such as balance and coordination. My plans often incorporate corrective exercises designed to help optimize joint movement and identify muscular imbalances. In this way it is my goal to lower the risk of injury during physical activity and to improve your overall experience.
