My wife and I have worked with Mike for over 5 years and continue to be excited about our training. Mike offers a versatile and diverse personal training experience.

Santa Barbara Training is a first class facility with state of the art equipment and reliable world class personal training.  If you are serious about staying or getting into shape, SB Training offers the finest experience in Santa Barbara.

Ok so I am not getting any younger – pushing Medicare age.  I have been in the same 10 pound weight range for over 30 years – I have a FABULOUS designer wardrobe – something for every fashion/fad that recurs regularly.  But after working out with Mike for the better part of 5 years – first at a prior gym, and now at SB Training, not only does EVERYTHING FIT, but it fits better because I am tighter and stronger than ever…THEN, about 4 years ago I took up golf – I have been the most improved player at my Club in two of those 4 years, and now no one cringes when they find they are paired up with me – in fact in a rather high percentage of the time we win, as I generally play in competition better than my handicap…SO WHO SAYS THEY CANT SEE THE RESULTS!!!

During the past three years I have been training with Mike, I have been able to improve my triathlon times, compete in longer distance events, and avoid injuries. The best part is that I have been able to do this without really increasing the amount of time I train each week – I’m simply training smarter and sticking to a consistent year around plan.

I am a firm believer that to be successful in business (mentally successful) you need to be physically fit (physically successful). There is no doubt in my mind, that when I am in training with Mr. Claytor, my work productivity increases, my stress level decreases, and my confidence level goes through the roof. (I also sleep better!)  A great sales trainer once said the “tougher you are on yourself, the easier life is on you”, and nothing could be truer!

Mike and his trainers have been working with our group for exactly twelve weeks. My initial goal was weight loss. However, during this time period I’ve not only lost weight and inches (2 inches in the waist)  but seen increases in strength, balance and an improved posture. Additionally, training at SBTraining is something I look forward to as each session is unique mixing in activities for strength, cardio, core stability and stretching. It has also been virtually pain free for my joints which has been an issue in the past.. Mike is an excellent trainer possessing an abundance of knowledge, a knack for motivating people while keeping things fun and competitive!

I joke to friends that my exercise regime is simple: “I give my body to Mike.”  As a university professor, I naturally tend to live in my head more than my body. But starting about eight years ago, Mike undertook to get me into shape; and now, at age seventy, I can testify that his expert guidance and involvement have brought me to a level of fitness and well-being that I probably haven’t experienced since my twenties.  I consider finding and working with Mike to be one of the most fortunate things that has happened to me in the last decade.

Once I considered myself a man. Full of life with an insatiable desire to exceed in everything I did. Mike changed all that. Now, I am merely a shell of the man I used to be fearful of everything I do waking up in the middle of the night in a full sweat crying like a school girl having been broken down by Mike and his sadistic group of trainers. Superman, once a beloved hero is now a menacing position torturing my body in an ungodly position. And Captain Morgan, once a dear friend providing social lubrication in awkward situations has been reduced to method of pain for my desensitized groin. If you’re feeling overly confident in life and have the desire to be humbled, I strongly suggest Mike’s program.
