I initially became interested in fitness training while attending Grambling State University. There I developed and honed my techniques at Grambling State University’s Recreational Center from 1998 to 2000. Recognizing a new found love, appreciation and natural talent for fitness, I began to diligently pursue and educate myself about fitness training.

I received national certifications from the International Sports Science Association (I.S.S.A.), the American Aerobic Association International (A.A.A.I.), the National Academy of Sports Medicine (N.A.S.M.), Red Cross, and numerous certifications from Bally Total Fitness. In addition to my national certifications, I became a certified Physical Education Teacher (T.A.T) through the Department of Education of Louisiana. In 2001, French Riviera Spa hired me as a fitness coach/trainer. By the following year, more opportunities came my way. From 2002 to 2003 I ventured on to the Guillaume Center where I worked as a Recreational Therapist in the Chemical Dependency Program for adolescents. At the Center, I recognized my love for helping the youth while mentoring in physical and mental exercises and giving motivational speeches to uplift the minds of young boys and girls who otherwise had no support system. Because of my experiences with the young people from the Center, I decided to further my endeavors with the young community. I soon began employment with the New Orleans Recreational Department (N.O.R.D.) as their Camp Director overseeing the Camp’s Athletic Program.

In 2004, I returned back to French Riviera Spa as their head trainer at the Metairie location. In 2005, I was appointed the Director of Fitness Operations at the Kenner location. During my tenure I was able to cultivate my leadership skills and fitness techniques as I ran my own fitness program. Under my leadership, the Kenner gym continuously set record sales in personal training. However, like all good things, they must come to an end.

In August 2005 Hurricane Katrina tore through the Gulf Coast and utterly devastated my beloved city of New Orleans. Forced to evacuate, I relocated to Houston, Texas. I lost almost everything. Unsure of my future, I held to my faith, which made me believe that despite the things I lost, no matter the situation, I would succeed.

Thirty days after Katrina hit and I settled in Houston, I got a training position with Bally Total Fitness-West University location. I quickly rose to being the highest grossing trainer at West U. and soon the Houston market. From 2006 to 2008, I continued to rank top 5 in personal training out of 4000 trainers statewide. I was named the Bally Elite Trainer of the year, 2007. I was awarded statewide Trainer of the Month ten times, as well as, Trainer of the Month at my local West U. location for 16 consecutive months. I handled every major corporate account with West U. I collaborated with Sports Talk 610 AM radio show in a “DJ Challenge” between employees of the show. Whichever team lost the most weight won. Of course Team JMIKE crushed the competition. I also participated in the Bally Total Fitness Challenge where every all the trainers in the gym chose their own client to compete. Whichever client lost the most weight and inches in an 8-week period won the challenge. My client, Paula Brown, lost 20 lbs and 12 inches crowning her the overall winner. Congratulations Paula! I also trained radio personality Jimbo from 97.9 The Box who competed in the 97.9 The Box Weight Loss Promotion. Jimbo went on to win by a landslide loosing 27 lbs in 8 weeks. We beat 10 other teams lead by Bally’s best trainers. As the years rolled on I continued to flourish in my career. As my talents grew, my reputation grew. Soon my clientele grew to 50 clients. My ambitions grew as well. I began to see where my skills could be utilized on a much broader scale. I began to think outside the confines of what Bally had to offer. So with careful planning and much trepidation I began my departure from Bally Total Fitness, Inc.

In 2009 I launched my own business in what soon would be called Jmikefitness. Since the start of my business, Jmikefitness has lead to the creation of Chaos Boot Camp and JmikefitnessTV.com. My goal is not to stop here but to spread my philosophy of health, wellness, and fitness globally. Hopefully in the near future the world will be chanting my fitness mantra: LIVE IT! WALK IT! TALK IT! BE IT!

Education
MS Kinesiology, MS Exercise Physiology and currently a PhD candidate.

Personal
To start, I have dedicated my life to the highest levels of health, fitness and education; developed a reputation throughout this industry built on trust, respect and offering my hand in guidance whenever given the opportunity. I pride myself on quality service in the US Air Force, holding degrees in Exercise Physiology and Kinesiology, extensive studies in the martial arts, becoming an accomplished drug free/natural professional bodybuilder and fitness model. I have been fortunate enough to have worked with great athletes in various fields and cross paths with some wonderful individuals and groups in the industry. In the future, I hope to continue to positively influence more people through what I do. And in doing so, hopefully increase the support for all natural athletes and maybe even be lucky enough to see some significant mergers of federations within the natural ranks. Over the years, thousands of fans have expressed to me through letters, emails, and messages so many different ways that I have been able to inspire them to better themselves. I take pride in knowing I have been able to touch so many people in positive ways and hope to continue this in the future.

Bodybuilding and Fitness Modeling
I am proud to announce that I have been welcomed as a professional in the ranks of WNSO/FAME! Starting from my first show, Guam’s Charter Day in November of 1997, to my most recent show, winning the Professional Division of FAME’s 2008 N. American Championships, I have lived and learned the highs and lows of competitive bodybuilding. I gained my “Professional” status with Musclemania in late 2002, and with the NGA in the summer of 2004, with a convincing win at Dion Benjamin’s Southern States Invitational in Galveston, Texas. The world of fitness modeling sort of fell into my lap in 2002. With a last second call and chance to shoot for EAS, which I was placed on their Myoplex Deluxe and Original packaging along with a few covers and several features in their Muscle Media magazine. After that, I discovered how challenging it was to break into the fitness modeling industry. It wasn’t until 2004 that things started looking up again with regards to the modeling. Since then, I have been a busy guy and have become a spokesperson for Optimum Nutrition, the largest supplement company in the world!
