Best Sports Nutritionists Detroit Near Me

Brielle: Brain Meets Brawn provides the best combination of physical therapy and personal training, and has changed my life significantly. I suffered from lower back pain for 12 years, which greatly limited my activities. I couldn't run, jump, twist, and therefore limited my activities, and fun through my 30's and beyond. I have been going to BMB for a year now, and I can run, hike, jump, kayak, ride a bike, dance, and so much more than I couldn't do before - all without pain. I'm also stronger, more capable/agile physically, and understand how to properly use my body for the first time in my life. After almost 30 years of desk jobs and zero consideration for proper posture, the difference is remarkable. I am truly grateful for Mike and his team for helping me turn my physical life around. It's worth every penny, and I hope to continue being a client for many years.

Karen Davis: Mike is a good coach who listens well and encourages wholeheartedly. His goal is to help the individual and he succeeds.

Baleigh Allen: Hands down my favorite gym! The trainers here have helped me improve my biomechanics after injuries and I feel confident in my abilities after every workout. They are well educated in the field of fitness and very informative. Thank you so much guys 💛

Janice Dickerson: Welcoming atmosphere with a welcoming team. Mike and his team make sure you are heard and cared for. They help you get to the root cause of what’s going on and tailor the treatment to your needs.

MT Warner: I have been working with the trainers here for about a year and am very pleased with their service. They start at your level and custom build a program to meet your goals. All the trainers are encouraging and help motivate you on the journey to a healthier body.

Suzanne Levin: Brain Meets Brawn changed my life. Mike Gorney's ability to work one on one with me as he personalized my program was above and beyond my expectations allowing me to spend 2 weeks straight and strong touring in Europe. Nearing my 80th birthday I confidently look forward to more physical demanding international trips.

Michael McDonald: I started recovery work with Michael after bilateral hip replacements. When life presents challenges running away is easy and running ahead is nearly impossible. However, Brain Meets Brawn’s athletic training helped me navigate these challenges towards a full recovery. Mike pinpointed strength and flexibility weaknesses that specifically caused my hip problems in the first place. He set challenging goals to improve my mobility and overall body strength and awareness starting with the basics. Mike clearly explained the functional basis of exercises, providing me with a working knowledge of corrective exercise habits.

Teddy Cooley: I had a fantastic experience with my personal training with Mike G. What I liked most was how tailored the exercises felt based on my specific needs. Mike has an insane amount of knowledge when it comes to physiology. He can explain things in a non-technical manner which helps me understand what we're doing with each exercise, why, and ensuring I can replicate it on my own. Thanks for the sessions Mike, hope to be back soon

Stevie DuFresne: I couldn't write a better review. I have chronic issues with neck and back pain due to a severe jaw injury I sustained several years ago. Max has been more helpful than any physical therapist I have seen, and has helped me to strengthen the muscles in my body to take the strain off of my neck and back (plus therapudic massage!) It's too bad this kind of service isn't covered by insurance, but for me it is well worth the out-of-pocket expense. Such a wonderful business with wonderful employees!

Catherine: I’m very new to personal training, but I can tell that this guy knows what he’s doing. He teaches a rather, at first meeting, unconventional approach to working out and fitness. It’s something that is easy to not take seriously when you have workout experience, however, once you go to a few sessions, you’ll get the feel for what he is trying to accomplish and it’s far more valuable than anything other personal training place I have seen. The trainers show the correlation that the brain has to the body, and how it stops you from working out to your fullest extent. Their mission is to train that body to brain connection and maximize the effectiveness and efficiency of your workouts.Not going lie, there is a bit of a learning curve to these workouts, but the trainers at Brain and Brawn teach you how to carry out common workout moves the right way, without putting strain on your back or compensating with any other muscles. The fitness regime combines both strength and mobility, ensuring that you will both elongate and strengthen your muscles, thus making sure that all potential weak points are targeted and worked on. I’ve only gone to a few sessions and I am feeling stronger already and not to mention more comfortable in the a gym-like atmosphere. It feels incredible!! I highly recommend this to anyone who is stuck in a rut with fitness and wants to up their workout game.Also, just a heads up, they just started an app so you can do workouts on the go if needed. They are extremely helpful as they have all the instructions that he would usually give in person both in a mixed written and video format. This app ensures that I am getting quality workouts even when I am not going into the training facility.Not going to lie though, I can’t give it a full 5 stars solely because the price is a little steep (and there is always room for improvement). :) That aside, highly recommended. Keep up the good work @BrainMeetsBrawn!

Elizabeth: Overall great trainers and great program! They are very good and strengthening your weaknesses and breaking bad habits. The trainers are very patient but will give you a good kick in rear when you need it as well. The only complaint I have is how sore I get the next day! Would definitely recommend.

Jeremy Martin: Mike & team are the best! I came here after getting shooed away from physical therapy and realizing I never got to the root of my pain. This place is a great alternative to physical therapy that mixes in more strength training. They will get a few layers deeper and address muscle imbalances and overcompensation. Once you get through a few sessions, you'll notice muscles you never knew existed and walk out stronger and smarter than before.

Craig Sochocki: I began coming to BMB with Mike back in April to start getting back in shape and tackle some movement and mobility issues I’ve been struggling with for years. Every workout has been challenging and fun. Mike is an excellent, knowledgeable trainer, and is very attentive and educational during the workouts. I’m seeing progress, feeling muscles working during big lifts that I haven’t felt in a very long time. I’m very excited to keep working with Mike and the BMB team moving forward!

Tudor Ravineala: Brain Meets Brawn offers a unique training solution -- I would say it is a cross between personal training and a little bit of physical therapy. The focus is not really on going hard and getting sweaty, as is often the case with personal training, it is geared more towards achieving your goals while practicing proper form and preventing injury. If you're interested in exercising more purposefully and being more intune with your body, I would highly recommend BMB.

Becca Saag: I can’t say enough good things about training here. I really appreciate the attention to detail and the focus on form and body mechanics. The trainers really tailor to your goals and specific needs.

Ramon Gales: I’ve been training here for about a month now and I have nothing but positive things to say. The facility is very clean and personal, no intimidating death machines. Mike has been awesome from my initial consultation and very understanding regarding any issues I may have. My trainer John has been great at assessing my physical ability while still pushing me to do my best. He really makes me feel comfortable and I can already see the progress we’ve made since I started. This is my second time having a personal trainer and this is by far the most comprehensive approach. We go over everything from diet, to health issues, and the science behind it all. I cannot recommend this place enough. Do yourself a favor and join now. You will not regret it!!!

Maria Musu: Forever thankful for the path that led me to Brain Meets Brawn! Max and Michael are both so knowledgeable and kind and really listen to you. You can tell they want you to succeed long term! I look forward to continuing my journey at BMB!

D. L.: I enjoy personal training at this facility. My sessions are specific to my needs/goals and it’s not a “one size fits all” approach. I had a previous injury limiting my range of motion and my trainer Max gave me exercises that supported my healing and increased my strength. I now have better range and less discomfort. I also discovered that I was doing some common exercises ( squats )incorrectly. A few minor adjustments made a world of difference!While the energy of the facility is easy going and light, the trainers are serious business. No fluff here. I’ve seen all ages and body shapes/sizes. This space feels safe and inclusive. Also of note, the trainers are constantly cleaning the equipment, which I appreciate. Every trainer has his/her own space and it seems to work. Finally, the owner provides access to exercise videos that can be done at home in addition to an easy to use app that helps track exercise and nutrition goals/progress. Highly recommend!

Jessie Whitmill: I started coming here because every time I exercised, I would end up hurting myself somehow. I didn’t know proper form. So far, I am really liking training with Mike. He’s fun and has a positive attitude, and I have learned a lot already. I know what we are doing is working because I’m sore after every workout, but not in a painful way. I can feel the right muscles working. I plan on coming regularly and look forward to my results!

Karen Lorenz: Very personable staff, one on one training. Would recommend to anyone who wants to get in better shape safely.

Alex Minasian: I played hockey for 20 years and lifted for 10 years until a few bad injuries set me back to what was looking like a point of no return. For 3 years, a team of doctors, trainers & PTs were unable to help me as my injuries worsened and I was unable to lift. As a last ditch effort, and with little hope, I decided to give MECA a try; after less than 18 weeks, Liz & Declan got me back on track with healing my injuries and putting on the muscle I lost, plus some.Liz & Declan (and all the other trainers I worked with) are amazing trainers - their knowledge, attention to detail, customized approach, passion, and ability to push me beyond what I could ever do on my own is unmatched. As someone who always preferred working out alone and was resistant to hiring a trainer, I couldn’t recommend them more. I would not have seen these results with any other gym/trainer. My only regret is not going to them sooner!Whether you’re an athlete trying to make it to the next level, an avid lifter trying to pack on more mass, and/or trying to overcome a stubborn injury, as long as you’re willing to put in the work, MECA will 100% get you the results you want and in less time than you could have imagined!

Michael Dersa: Great environment and great training

Joe Goudeseune: MECA is a great place to get serious about your training and performance. I have been working with Evan for a few months and he has done a great job focusing on my deficiencies while pushing me to improve my overall fitness. All of the trainers there do a great job. Tracking my nutrition progress with Hannah has also helped keep me on track. Overall very happy with everyone there. Biggest negative is they need to improve their locker rooms/shower facilities.

Luke 445766: I have been training at meca for almost 6 months and have seen lots of results. Anthony is a very good trainer and I highly recommend it.

Jason Fannon: MECA and trainer (Evan) do an excellent job of customizing workouts to fit your personal goals. Their attention to detail and proven weight training process is incredible. I frequently recommend their services to colleagues, friends and family given my positive experiences over several years. Great work !!

Syed Shah Mehmood Uddin Alvi: I am so much impressed training with MECA. I had to undergo surgery because I tore my ACL and meniscus. I lost all my strength in my left knee. I started physical therapy but it was not helping so I decided to give MECA a try and I am so happy with the progress. My knee gained mobility and strength. Apart from knee rehab, Jared is amazing with body recomposition. I have lost body fat and gained muscled and I am almost close to my body goal in only few months. Thank you Jared and MECA for high quality of training and nutrition.

Tina Hamrick: My husband and I have started the MECA online training a little over two weeks ago and the differences that we both are seeing after just a couple of weeks are beyond incredible. I was training my back weekly for the past 6 months and was able to do 1 maybe 2 pull ups on a good day. I tried yesterday and I got in 4 solid ones…I was never able to do that before. Mike, our trainer, always answers all of our questions, explains to us how to correct our form, and always provides great feedback. Also Nick, the nutritionist is amazing. I always thought I’m eating a pretty good diet, which it wasn’t too bad, but we have almost cut out all the “bad” carbs and refined sugars from our diet, added a ton more veggies, and I have shifted to getting my protein more from meats instead of lots of yogurts and other dairy products. We feel so much better and have a ton more energy and all that after just two weeks. AMAZING!!!!! Thank you so very much MECA!!!!!! The videos, explanations of each exercise and the correct form for each exercise are beyond incredible and so helpful.

Nolan Vredevoogd: Have always enjoyed training at MECA over the years and when their online training became available I decided to give it a try. Can't recommend it enough. A great training app that provides videos for all of the exercises programmed, weekly check-ins with Jared to discuss progress and every two week check-in with the nutritionist. Not to mention easy access and quick responses if you have questions or concerns.

Gio Randazzo: I’ve been doing my 12 week meca program for 2 months now and i’ve never felt better. with the knowlage of the right foods, excersize, and discipline i have never felt all around at my peak. and continuing on with the program i only plan on growing. My trainer Chris Cheatham is great! i recommend this program to anyone that is able to do it, for sports, for health, and even for fun.

Brenna Devall: I am so thankful for my certification, I love being a phlebotomist

Joey Lajcaj: MECA has changed my life. I began training at MECA 3 years ago and I am extremely grateful for the knowledge I have acquired about myself. I learned discipline on a whole new level, not only how to train but also how to eat and have a new level of respect for myself and others. Now I can keep building and adding healthy habits with the help of MECA’s online training program. Thanks to my trainer Jared and everyone at MECA!

Robert Pousak: I have been training at MECA for about 4 years now each summer in between my lacrosse seasons. I love it as it helps me prepare for my season ahead. I am currently training with Raquel. She is extremely knowledgeable and loves her job. She pushes me to be the best athlete I can possibly be and wants only the best for me.

Drew Heethuis: Was amazing having someone keep me accountable 24/7! Didn’t have any choice but to get strong!

Keshav Reddy: Jared’s been helping me with online coaching for up to a year, and it’s definitely helped me with overall health, a year of using only a barbell when gyms were closed has left me with imbalances and other issues, now I move more weight and feel better all around.

Trevor Ware: I’ve been weight training for more than a decade. My goal walking in to MECA was I wanted my fitness to reflect that. I was in good shape before walking in the door but the advice and guidance I received through Jared and the rest of the MECA online training staff was the extra 20% I’ve needed to break through my plateau. Since January I’ve put on 15 pounds of muscle as a hardgainer and my strength has gone up exponentially.I’ve always been resistant to hiring a personal trainer since I have been able to coach myself well enough up until now. However, having my weight training plans customised and designed for me takes a lot of the pressure off, allows my workouts to stay fresh and exciting, and keeps me gaining strength. 75% of the fitness results I’ve achieved in the last 5 years have been achieved in the last 5 months at MECA.Whether you’re an experienced lifter or you’re looking for a place to start, MECA provides great results without breaking the bank.

Jimmy Modelski: Growing up I was never good at lifting any time I tried I was awkward and didn't know what I was doing. After MECA I don't have those worry's any more.

Kurt Andrews: I recently switched trainers to JoElla Fitzpatrick after my previous trainer was promoted and she has taken my progress to another level for sure. JoElla concentrates on the tempo and technique in each segment to ensure progress and has some unique perspectives on making each exercise most meaningful. The results are very apparent.

Cameron Crosby: I started MECA about 2 months ago and throughout this time my knee has fully recovered from a partial tear in my ACL, and MCL, and along the way I have gained 10lbs of muscle. With the help and encouragement of Zach Reynolds and all of the other trainers there.

Cassius Cook: For years I’ve had chronic lower back pain but after training with jack Bushart my pain has gone away and I’ve gained self confidence. I would recommend MECA to anyone.

Jim Harrington: I have been training with John for about 8 weeks now. My schedule is hectic making time to exercise extremely difficult. Couple that with poor nutrition choices, and that is a recipe for poor health. In just 8 weeks of training I absolutely feel like I am on the path. He customized my training specific to my goals and has fine tuned my nutrition make sure I am at my best. John helps you tap into that part of your brain that stops you from hitting that next level. I can't say enough good things about John.

I will never, and I repeat never go elsewhere for my supplements.If I could give this place 10 stars out of 5, I would!!

Acxel Araque: Went there today. This place is a true blue, no fluff, no B.S. hard core little gem the owner isn't trying to gouge you or sell you what you doing need. If you're serious about results go there.oh and prices I found were equal or better than online.

Daniel Katzman: Knowledgeable staff, great prices on supplements. Had exactly what I was looking for. I will be back.
