Simplifying the Process
My name is Mike Dolan. I have been coaching strength and conditioning in the community since 2010. I strongly believe in developing athletes and improving my clients' overall quality of life by exposing them to a variety of concepts that were created by people smarter than myself.
I have a feel for what works and what doesn't work because I have tried just about everything. I have struggled and failed 100x more than I have succeeded, and that alone has helped me pass on tips and knowledge more than any certification I've achieved or course I've attended.
I began as a personal trainer, working with clients ranging from 12 to 60 years old. Quickly I saw what worked and what didn't for different age groups as well as different personality types. Shortly after, I began coaching full time CrossFit at a gym in Issaquah, where I eventually went on to become head coach and director of programming.
From 2012-2016 I put the majority of my time and effort into coaching group classes every night. Since then, my focus has been more on personalized programming. I continue coaching classes because it is a true passion, but the drastic improvements I've seen from clients have been through individual work.
Whether it be for a competitive athlete in CrossFit, a middle school athlete looking to gain strength and explosiveness, or for the middle aged parent looking for a better quality of life, there is a solution through resistance training and taking a practical yet scientific approach to your nutrition. It is in service to the fitness and wellness community that I pass along the help and advice that has been given to me throughout the years.
