“I started working with Mike at Freak Strength as I was turning 29 years old and the goal was to see if I could just play a few more years in the NFL.  He helped me better my game by doing injury prevention work while also keeping me strong and fast. Truth is I had some of my best years after the age of 30 because of Freak Strength.”

“I began training with Mike in my second year in the NFL at Mike’s former employer’s gym. When Mike decided to open his own space and start his own business, making the move with him was one of the best decisions I made in my 7 year NFL career. Mike is a thinker. Anyone can get an athlete stronger but not many can do it in an intelligent way that not only achieves peak performance but also prioritizes staying healthy. I learned an immense amount from working with Mike over the years not only physically but also mentally. Mike is a true complete package in the way he approaches his athletes and helps to prepare them with all of his heart. He is a dedicated man who never stops learning and is obsessed with perfecting his craft. I consider him one of the most well rounded trainers in the country who can guide athletes across an array of disciplines from strength and speed training, to body work including acupuncture, and even mental preparation.”

“What I loved most about working with Mike at Freak Strength was his ability to explain to me why I was doing everything we did. Throughout my career I got accustom to doing the same exercises over and over again. When I started training with Mike, that changed. We would constantly have talks about how to get better, but more importantly how to avoid injuries by working on my short comings in the offseason. Mike is not only an excellent trainer but also a friend and someone who cares about every athlete beyond what they do on the field or court. The time spent with him helped me take my game to the next level and prolong my career. I would recommend him to any athlete of any age!”

“Mike’s the real deal. He’s somebody that will get the most out of you while making sure to keep you healthy and ready for competition. He takes the time to tailor your workouts to your needs. If you walk in and G-unit is playing then just know it’s going to be a great day!”

“Mike Guadango is hands down the best trainer I have ever worked with throughout my entire career.  I started with Mike very early on in my career and I can honestly say that I would not have made it as far as I did and certainly would have not accomplished what I did throughout my career without his help and guidance.  Mike was not only my trainer, he became one of my best friends, a mentor, a therapist at times and was willing to do anything and everything to help me succeed in my career as an athlete and as a person.  

What I loved most about training with Mike was his passion to learn and become better at his craft.  I always respected that because I was trying to do the same.  Each year, he gained more knowledge about training, recovery, rehab and so much more.  He taught me so much about myself and how I should be training and each year and without fault I went into each season fully prepared and ready to compete.  

There is no other trainer that I respect more than Mike and I don’t know how long I would have played without him in my corner.  Every athlete in the tri state area should know that Mike Guadango is the person you should be training with and trusting your career with.  Tons of professional athletes do so each year, and I know they would all say the same thing…. Mike Guadango is the BEST”
