Hello, I'm Michael Baker

Certified health coach + yoga teacher + personal trainer + 25 year work from home digital professional


Hi, my name is Michael Baker. I am a trained health and wellness professional who takes an integrative approach to both diet and lifestyle changes to improve my clients' life overall. My practice will assess your current nutrition intake, physical activity, time management, and habits before devising a custom-tailored approach designed to optimize your health.

As someone who has worked from home for over 25 years, and a father of two children, I understand what it’s like to struggle to balance a healthy life with professional and familial responsibilities. Over time, I’ve devised highly effective tactics that make it easier to maximize various elements of my daily life to keep everything in balance.

As a digital professional, I am always learning and evolving at warp speed. I spend a lot of time on the computer, fully connected to devices. The stress of this type of work can be overwhelming. But I love it! How is that possible? Well, I have developed healthy systems to detach digitally and re-claim the time stolen from commuting, digital frustrations, useless notifications, instant availability, and stressful online engagement.

With the advent of web3, VR, the Metaverse, and other more invasive forms of technology, it’s becoming more and more essential for people to have a reliable and effective method for disconnecting digitally.

As a parent reaching his 50s, my health has become a top priority in my life. Maybe it’s my version of a mid-life crisis. I don't want a Porsche. I want to retain full mobility, maintain muscle mass, lose fat, gain endurance, avoid chronic disease, and - most importantly - remain present, vibrant, and active.

My ideal client is someone over the age of 40 who knows that they can feel better but might not know how to get there. My ideal client has a genuine desire to commit to: Real change. Real education. Real physical movement. All of this is individualized and that’s why no pre-fabricated diet or exercise "program" works for anyone long-term. You have to really learn and understand nutrition, your body, and what you need as an individual to feel and look your best, forever!

Working with Mike has been a game-changer. From day one, it was clear that I had stumbled upon a gem in the world of personal training. First and foremost, Mike has a remarkable setup at his home for one-on-one training. It's the perfect blend of a comfortable, private space and a fully-equipped gym, creating an ideal environment for focused workouts. The moment I stepped in, I felt at ease and motivated to push my limits. What sets Mike apart is his ability to craft tailored, bespoke workout plans that are thoughtful and effective. Regardless of whether you're a beginner taking your first steps in the world of weightlifting or someone who's been exercising for years, he has a knack for designing programs that cater to your unique needs and goals. Every session is a personalized journey towards achieving your fitness goals. It's clear that Mike has a deep understanding of physiology and exercise science, and he uses that knowledge to optimize each session. But it's not just about the workouts. Mike is an exceptional motivator and mentor. His passion for fitness is contagious - he listens intently, offers guidance with patience, and ensures that you not only perform exercises correctly but also understand the 'why' behind them. Thanks to Mike, I've not only regained my passion for lifting weights, but I also have achieved outstanding results in a very short amount of time. I feel stronger, more explosive, and even faster, all thanks to his expertise and support. If you're searching for a personal trainer who can provide a top-notch training experience in a welcoming and tailored setting, look no further than Mike. Working with him has been a fantastic experience, and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone on their fitness journey.

I started with MB Wellness in early March 2023. The passion Michael brings to every session is second to none, whether it is a cardio day, stretch/yoga day, or strength day he is always encouraging me and talking through some "roadblocks" I may have had the previous week. If you are a 40+ male and looking to get back in shape in a private one-one setting, Michael is your man. He will guide you physically and mentally getting you to your goals and beyond.

Mike has been amazing to work with. Someone to give advice and keep me accountable without ever talking down to me or making me feel bad about my choices or decisions. He has helped me with Diet and Exercise, understands my goals and my situation, helps me through at my pace. He is invested in me doing better. Give him a shot.

I have known Michael for over 30 years. I was so happy when I seen that he was doing this Health And Wellness program because he is in very good shape and he is very smart and knowledgeable about what he’s telling people to do to lose weight and eat healthy after just one month of working with Michael at 215 pounds. I have already lost 5 pounds and I am very motivated to reach my goal which is 185 just talking to him about what I was eating and doing wrong what’s so helpful for me whether was in person or over the phone he gives you plenty of information and details to work with while visiting his home. His family and him were very welcoming and warm to me as always I couldn’t of asked for a better person to help me with my journey , and anybody that needs help with their health and wellness. I would highly recommend Michael to be somebody to work with.
