Mike Thompson

Mike Thompson is an NSCA Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist, Tactical Strength and Conditioning Facilitator, Precision Nutrition Level 2 coach, and Bioforce Certified Conditioning Coach. He is a former police officer and has over 14 years’ coaching experience working with professionals dealing with high stress and diverse physical goals - current and aspiring police officers, firefighters, military personnel, and fitness enthusiasts. He has prepared clients for powerlifting and strongman competitions, Smokedivers, SWAT selection, Best Ranger competition, wildland firefighting, etc.

Mike is particularly passionate about breaking the stigma that neurological and mental health issues can have, especially among men. In 2024 he was diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder that manifests as tremors and speech difficulties, and can sometimes interfere with fine motor tasks. He has learned to navigate this diagnosis while still lifting, running, rucking, and overall trying to suck less. Currently Mike focuses his own training around being the most jacked dad on the cul-de-sac. Some of his proudest moments in training include a 700lbs deadlift and a 50k ultramarathon.
