Fresh off two years training in gyms across the world as a private trainer and chef; he plants roots deep in his hometown of Traverse City, Michigan to sign on as Head Trainer with Uki; not far from Master Trainer status.

“I’m here to serve the people of my hometown by helping them move better by getting stronger. I love it up here. The natural landscape of Grand Traverse Area is so beautiful, the experience is 1000x better if the body feels strong and able to explore; that includes wine tasting.”

Mitchy grew up in T.C. MI playing hockey; finishing in the collegiate ranks. He then went backpacking worldly. During which time, he found Yoga. Eventually came back stateside (kind of) to Hawaii to start his personal training in 2021; returning back to Michigan in 2022; has spent the last 3 years as personal/private trainer; training 500+ clients, ages 11-93, all forms, including the Traverse City West High School athletes, NCAA College and Pro Hockey athletes (still active), to name a few.

“Uki is fun because of the environment.The space is primed for humans to experience top quality movement, every time. You have to experience it to understand.”
