Ekstasis Strength and Conditioning

I’ve worked with Mike off and on over the past 15+ years. I’ve always appreciated his professionalism, knowledge, integrity—and most importantly, his caring demeanor. Mike has created a truly supportive workout environment at Ekstasis for people like me who always seem to be recovering from one injury or another. It’s great to have a devoted team supporting me to stay strong and active in my retirement!!

My name is Heather and I am a 43 year old exercise avoider. I’ve never enjoyed sports or aerobics or hiking. So when I say I enjoy working out with the coaches at Ekstasis, it’s kind of a big deal. My body is shifting through perimenopause and my naturopath suggested weight lifting to build strength and balance. I’ve been exercising at Ekstasis twice a week for ten months now and I feel great. The workouts are challenging and the coaches are supportive. They meet me where I’m at and never compare my fitness goals to others. They always check in daily in case I need to adjust my program due to soreness. They watch my form to make sure I’m activating the correct muscles. And they help me focus on my personal goals. All things a good personal trainer should do. What set’s Ekstasis apart, in addition to their vast educational background in physical fitness, is the positive reinforcement. Every workout is a mood booster. They celebrate when I finish a challenging set, meet a new PR, or even just when show up on days I don’t want to work out. The coaches at Ekstasis have my back. And I always leave feeling like a badass. That is why I return every week. I still don’t like exercise, but I’m consistent because the coaches make it worth my time.

Mike Seilo and the entire Ekstasis Strength and Conditioning team are beyond great. Over the past four months, they have created customized workouts for our son, Ben, and coached him through every single rep until he could complete each set with perfect form. Even once he had it down, they were always attentive — watching closely, offering guidance, and preparing him for what’s next. One of the many things I appreciate is how intentional each session is. Every workout begins with vibrating foam rollers and dynamic stretching before moving into a unique routine designed specifically around individual goals. In Ben’s case, they focused on supporting his progress in basketball — explosive starts and stops, jumping ability, and overall strength. In just four months, we’ve seen a transformation that is clearly paying dividends in his confidence and presence on the court. Beyond the in-person training, the Ekstasis team goes the extra mile behind the scenes. They set members up with at-home workouts through the Train Heroic app, which tracks progress and includes video demonstrations of each exercise. Ben has been able to complete full workouts at home with confidence because of this support. The coaches are highly trained, patient, encouraging, and fun. The entire Ekstasis family — coaches and clients alike — is incredibly welcoming. You can feel the positive energy the moment you walk through the door. We are so grateful for the impact they’ve had on our son and highly recommend Ekstasis to anyone looking for personalized, high-quality training.
