Real People. Real Numbers.
Real Life.
These are adults just like you — busy professionals with demanding schedules, travel,
and real lives. They did not follow a perfect plan. They followed a plan built for the life
they actually have.

Mike is the real deal! By far the best I have ever worked with. I'm down 31 lbs since I started working with him in May and am in the best shape of my adult life at 50 years old. I'm still hitting PRs daily in the gym! Highly recommend.
The method
The Progressive Cycling Method™
Most programs try to fix everything at once. That approach burns people out and
produces results that do not last. The Progressive Cycling Method moves through three
focused phases — each building on the last — so fat loss becomes permanent
rather than temporary.
01
PHASE ONE
Fat-Burning Reset
Reduce visceral fat and reset your metabolism so your body actually wants to burn stored fat — instead of fighting you every step of the way.
02
PHASE TWO
Muscle Rebuild & Strength
Rebuild lean muscle and functional strength so the results actually last long term. This is where temporary fat loss becomes permanent change.
03
PHASE THREE
Lab Optimization & Life
Normalize your A1C, cholesterol, blood pressure, and energy. Lock the results into your actual lifestyle — not a perfect one.
Is this the right fit?
This Program Is Selective.
Here Is Why That Matters.
I keep my client load intentionally small because the kind of coaching I do requires daily
attention. I do not work with everyone who applies. Before you fill out the application,
read this carefully.
This is for you if
You are 45 or older and have tried multiple programs without lasting results
You are 45 or older and have tried multiple programs without lasting results
You want a real coach, not an app or a generic plan
You are willing to follow a structured system and check in daily
Improving your labs and long-term health matters as much as the scale

Within the first month of working with Mike Cola and following his expert advice I lost 11 Ibs!
I highly recommend Mike Cola fitness services for anyone looking to achieve results and become a better version of themselves!

I entered the program weighting 186 pounds. In four months my weight was down to 168 pounds.
My energy level improved and I started to gain muscle. I went from size 36 pants to a 31.
My blood pressure has improved and my overall health is excellent.
Coach Mike Cola is extremely involved with daily coaching and biweekly training calls. I highly recommend his program. It works!

What sets Mike apart is not just his knowledge but also his genuine care and helpfulness.
He goes above and beyond to ensure that I receive the support and guidance I need, making our professional relationship feel more like a friendship.
I consider myself extremely fortunate to have him as both a friend and a trusted resource.

Ladies...if you are on the fence about hiring Mike...just do it!
A year later and I've kept it off.
Mike taught me so many valuable lessons. It's a lifestyle for me now!.

Without Mike Cola I would not be able to still walk into a ballet studio and work on my personal dancing goals…it’s that simple.
I have strengthened my body, supported congenitally weak areas and dealt with the inevitable problems that have come up along the way.
I don’t know what I would do without Mike Cola!

Thanks to Mike's training skills and sophisticated knowledge of the body and diet, I quite literally feel ten years younger.
In my 50s, I lost 15 pounds of fat, gained 10 pounds of muscle, and due to some specifically designed leg work, my sore, aching knees no longer hurt.
Mike is a terrific coach, and very pleasant to work with. You won't be sorry you gave him a try.

Meet your coach
Mike Cola
I have been in this industry for over 40 years. I am an ACSM Exercise Physiologist, a Precision Nutrition certified coach, and I have owned a gym in New York for 38 years.
I have worked with thousands of people during that time — executives, physicians, attorneys, and business owners who needed a plan that fit the life they were actually living, not the one they wished they had.
I am 63 years old and still in shape. I know what works at this stage of life because I am living it. I do not work with everyone who applies. But if you are serious about finally getting this right, I would like to talk.
