Michael Fish, Owner and Fitness Trainer
Michael Fish got his start in the fitness industry in 1999 when he began to train professionally. He has gained extensive experience as a former golden gloves boxer and competitive athlete, having played several sports throughout his life.
Michael’s dedication to helping older adults began from his own personal experience. When he had trouble finding a specialist to work with his own aging parents who lived far from him, he realized there was a need for professional trainers to work with the aging population. He then decided to focus his attention toward helping seniors live independently and keeping fit through specialized exercises.
Today, Michael specializes in working with people aged 50 and up. He helps clients rehab their injuries while still providing a comprehensive workout to meet their fitness goals. Michael trains people with neurological disorders, joint injuries and those wanting to age well. He has trained wheelchair-bound folks, military veterans and former athletes. His clients appreciate that he visits their homes and brings all the training equipment needed.
One of his greatest joys is seeing people realize their potential and watching them gain confidence through their workouts. Apart from this company, he is also the founder and owner of Confidence Fitness Nashville, which specializes in youth fitness, boxing workouts, and athletic training.
