fitness trainer scottsdale Testimonials


    "Beginning work with Scottsdale personal trainer, Michael Stomatuk was a turning point in my life.  I was an unhappy overweight, arthritic, older lady, intermittently using a cane.  I was depressed, looked unhealthy; and knew I needed to radically alter my lifestyle.

    Mike did not appear to be overly concerned with my dilapidated condition, rather seeing me as a new challenge, I think.  At first the progress was slow and gentle, with me improving only little by little.  Then, the weights got heavier; the reps increased; the regimen more difficult.  And, almost without realizing it, I was energetic and almost proficient.  

    Six and one half years later, I’m still somewhat overweight; I still have arthritis; but I feel healthy and enjoy my life (without a cane).  I’m strong, flexible and active, thanks to Mike.  I know there’s no magic; he’s probably not a magician; but he’ll do till one comes along.  And, he saved my life."

    "I’m sure when Mike Stomatuk, a Scottsdale personal trainer, looked at me six years ago, he thought, 'Now this is job security.'  I was in my fifties, had never worked out or trained and had sat at a desk most of my life.  I was unhealthy, being 60 lbs. overweight most of my adult life. I had recently quit smoking after 35 years of being a heavy smoker.
Additionally, I had severe, back pains caused by a genetic sciatic nerve.

    We started work, gradually developing body tone and strengthening the back muscles.  I started losing weight with a better diet, walking almost daily, and working out two days a week with Mike.  It took four years to lose 50 lbs and tone the body.  The bonus to having a strong back is having very rare attacks of that sciatic nerve, which Mike is able to minimize.

    I’m not sure I’ll ever lose that last 10 lbs.  I do enjoy food and wine too much.  But the bonus is, besides being healthy, I can carry a case of that wine from my car to the house and I expect to be able to when I’m 80.   Thanks, Mike!"

    "Mike was my personal trainer for 2 years.  After battling chronic foot injuries and my fifth foot surgery I was referred to Mike by a friend.  If the training was going to be successful, I needed someone that had comprehensive knowledge of serious chronic injury and the work that goes into the rehabilitation.

    I can highly recommend Mike as this type of personal trainer. He was committed to being effective and successful with my training.  Mike has high energy and a sense of humor that makes working with him a positive experience.  If you are looking for a personal trainer that you can rely on to give you all the tools and support  to be successful in your training endeavors then Mike is the personal trainer for you."
