In this episode, I sit down with one of the personal trainers at North Star Fitness Micheal Arrinze. Michael brings unrivalled strength, compassion and personal experience to the fitness world. Over the past decade he has transformed his own body, going from a muscle-less 265lbs to a lean, mean weightlifting machine. Michael is an accomplished circus performer, and utilizes a diverse range of training disciplines including bodybuilding, powerlifting, weightlifting, calisthenics, gymnastic s, Pilates, MELT, circus arts and meditative practices.Michael has an undergraduate degree in Kinesiology and Recreation Management from the University of Manitoba. While attending university he led strength and conditioning sessions for the U of M Bisons and also trained circus performers. Michael has worked closely with an industry-renowned ACL specialist where he learned to take a methodical approach to preventing and rehabbing injuries.Mike is not only an accomplished and versatile athlete, he is a great teacher. He offers hand balancing and areal classes at North Star Fitness, along with personal training. Mike is a philosopher and a generalist at heart, and fits in perfectly at CrossFit Winnipeg. In this episode, we get to know Mike, and discuss everything from his training philosophy to hand balancing, and mobility training, body awareness, mirror neutrons, and how you can use social media to become a better athlete.
