Myles will change your life. He shares a remarkable depth of knowledge from both study and experience to guide you in learning the project of wellness, not just practicing it. As a client I feel like family, welcome and fully supported by his consistent commitment to intention in his space and guidance. I cannot recommend ARETE highly enough for anyone looking to grow in self mastery and personal flourishing.

Myles really knows his stuff! He takes a holistic approach to training and is super knowledgeable on the latest science in fitness, mental strength and longevity. He trains a lot of serious athletes but also people like me who want to feel healthy and stay active without injury.

Myles' middle name is "Accommodation".What in the world would we all have done, a year ago, if Myles had not almost instantly morphed into Zoom mode, and guided us into creating home exercise spaces where we had none, and then accommodating to those idiosyncratic spaces...?Scheduling, too, has been challenging, as everything has changed. That has required constant flexibility.And then there's what's always been there -- Myles' unending ability to accommodate our array of ages, ailments, and abilities. I always feel sweaty and stretched, and if I have soreness, it's the good, self-congratulatory kind. And I'm ...ah...old. But nothing compared to my parents. Myles worked out my mother until she was about 95 -- yes -- 95, and my stepmother, during her visits here, last time at 96.Like I say, diligent, knowledgeable, caring, demanding -- and accommodating.

Although we miss the actual space - Myles has done such a great job of keeping us 'fit' while being safe and sheltered! We are grateful that Arete has continued to meet all adversity with new options and it's always professional attitude. Thanks Myles and Arete for continuing to put our health and well-being at the top of your list!

I have had many, many trainers over the decades and Myles is definitely THE BEST.His knowledge of the body at least equals any physician or physical therapist. He always pushes me past my comfort zone but never lets me over do it. If you want what YOUR BODY needs, not an off the shelf program, he’s your man.

The best option I have found for strength training at home during COVID. Myles has the knowledge and experience that puts him a cut above your average trainer. His workouts are thoughtful, comprehensive, and will make you not only a better athlete but also help you avoid injury. Thanks Myles!

Myles is a great trainer. He is knowledgeable and patient and was able to quickly pivot to Zoom training sessions when his gym had to close because of COVID so we could continue to work out.

Reboot DetoxYesterday was my last day on the 3 day Reboot Detox. I am very happy with the results. Lisa guided me through the entire experience. She suggested I cook several of her favorite meals in advance of the start of the detox. I loved the Cauliflower Coconut Stew and Sweet Potato-Kale Hash. Also, I was fond of the Reboot No Carb Breakfast Porridge with blueberries and cinnamon Seeds. All recipes were provided by Lisa. The amazing result was I lost 6 lb. and never felt famished. Between meals I would snack on Oranges with cashews or Vegetables with the homemade Hummus.My body feels really great today. I had the best golf score ever during club competition with no fatigue while walking 18 holes. I’m very encouraged by the outcome and as I was a bit of a sceptic of the detox, I now would recommend it to any one to try. I’m hoping to continue eating healthy with minimum processed foods. I will definitely add protein and whole grains back into my diet, as well as caffeine.FYI: I’m 70 years old and excited to see if my body continues to heal inside and out.

I have been working out with Myles for over 10 years now. While working out isn't always fun, I always feel so great when I have finished that it is worth "the pain." I love that I feel stronger now than I was when I was younger.

Myles is an amazingly supportive trainer who never shows that he's tired of my lame attempts to avoid a hard workout.

Myles and Lisa are most qualified for fitness training and nutrition advice. My golf and tennis games were much improved this year due to their tailored workouts. My balance, core strength and flexibility are light years ahead of where I was a year ago! I really enjoy their regular email challenges and advice with recipes for nutritional, yet tasty treats. I highly recommend Arete Athletics for anyone interested in seeking or maintaining optimal fitness.

I’m probably past my days of competitive sports. However, I still want the strength, flexibility, and balance needed to participate fully in life, from hiking, biking, and skiing to home remodeling. I’m definitely willing to make the commitment and I demand that my training partner have at least an equal level of commitment. That’s why I train with Myles.In a one hour session, Myles integrates warm-up, flexibility, balance, strength, and neuro-muscular components. He designs movements that challenge multiple muscle groups and joints to ensure functional balance. My sessions with Myles are probably the single best investment I make in myself.If you’re looking for a trainer/coach who is passionate about his craft, is constantly educating himself, and will design a program for you that is efficient, comprehensive, and personal, then you should be training with Myles!
