Don’t take my word for it, take theirs…

  • "Mike Delgado is the real deal. He is someone you should work with if you are serious. He will not babysit you, but if you truly want to get better, he will empower you. I am very snobbish in giving out recommendations and I can wholeheartedly give Mike one for two reasons. He knows his stuff and he cares about people. It's rare to find one of those traits, let alone the full package."

    Josh Bryant, MS

  • "I joined heavy breathing in august of 2021. In the past couple years Mike has helped me reach my own personal goals as he built a community and team environment that I missed in powerlifting coming from a team sport background. It feels good not only to accomplish things I set for myself to do but to do it surrounded by a team of people that support you. Mike has brought the best aspects of a niche sport to the forefront and focuses on making people better both inside and outside the gym. The product really speaks for itself when seeing the crew at a meet you’ll always see three things 1. We are never alone we travel in a pack 2. We are always having the best time 3. One of us is always on the podium."

    Jason Oregel

  • "Since being with Mike for about a year I have grown as a lifter and overall person. Why should you hire Mike? He just knows how to fix technical errors and make the adjustments I need. It’s hard to find a coach that cares about your general wellbeing outside of powerlifting. I have never been more confident about my capabilities since being with Mike. He’s Real."

    Steve Vu

  • "I have worked with Mike since November of 2019. I was brought to Mike by my former coach and friend. Since then, while I haven't been able to get on the platform due to unforeseen circumstances Mike has always been flexible with me especially when military work comes up. I am feeling stronger than before with the adjustments that have been made in all three of my lifts and I can't wait to see what will be put on the platform this year! I am fortunate to be one of his athletes."

    Jonah

  • "Very happy with my progress so far with Mike. Starting his coaching, I let him know about my weaker lifts being bench and squat and those have blew up during my first meet prep and now I’m beating those numbers in the off-season less than 6 months later. You can definitely tell that he coaches based on your own personal needs and weaknesses. I’ve made some great progress so far with him and I can’t wait to see what I can total at my next meet."

    Charles-Andre Geffroy

  • “I reached out to Mike because I wanted to become a better lifter. I made him aware of my goals and he developed a clear plan to execute them. He will not hold your hand and pull you along, but if you communicate and put in the work you will reach your goals x10! I wholeheartedly trust him with all aspects of my training. Best decision I’ve made in a long time.”
