I wanted to go to the gym for quite sometime. I had absolutely no clue where to start. Original Physiques helped me get on track, and pointed me in the right direction when it came to working out. I've seen crazy results in a short period of time, I highly recommend Original Physiques when it comes to diet and training.

I’ve been using Mike for maybe 3 years now, and he’s been the coach I’ve used the longest out of the 3/4 I’ve hired over the years. Very good reasons for that too! I’ve never had a desire to compete and it felt like previous coaches wanted all clients to compete to showcase them. From Day 1, Mike has tailored everything around me wanting to be in good shape and still enjoy life and he’s nailed it. There are no insults/guilt trips at check-ins if I say “I went out for a family meal and didn’t track." Instead, it’s “I hope you had a good time mate”. He’s more of a friend than a coach which makes the process infinitely easier, and through Mike's more relaxed approach to my goals, ironically, I’m in the absolute best shape of my entire life and I’ve never been this happy with how I look. Previous injuries that the NHS couldn’t fix in 12-24 months, Mike has helped me fix with 1 zoom call and a far more detailed rehab routine. I cannot recommend Mike highly enough! Whether you want to compete, or just be in great shape, or have injuries that you want to recover from whilst still training, Mike ticks every single box. The only downside is that Mike is unfortunately stuck with me for life as I have no plan to ever stop being a client of his!

If you struggle to stay consistent with your macros or weight goals on your own, you need Mike in your corner. His positive energy and elite accountability completely transformed my fitness journey. He didn't just help me get into the best shape of my life; he actually taught me how to sustain it for the long run. I am so incredibly grateful for his coaching and would recommend him a million times over!

I honestly can say that I owe the bulk of my knowledge and the foundation of my physique to OP. My previous background was in Crossfit and although I was fairly strong for my size I knew nothing about training with the purpose to build the body I wanted. OP built me a program tailored to my preferences, goals, my schedule as well as made sure I had a thorough understanding of proper form as well, so that I was able to make the most out of my training each and every session. I went from someone who was terrified by the idea of walking in to gym and trying to do anything other than a WOD to feeling confident in my ability to build whatever body I could dream of. I also have 15 inch calves.

Original Physiques has been training me for over 5 years now and I couldn't be happier with my results. I have gained over 20lbs of muscle and shredded over 8% of my body fat! His routines are challenging and fun. I'm never bored in the gym and always looking forward to the next day. OP is very personal, professional and genuinely cares about my success. I highly recommend him to anyone who is serious about a positive lifestyle change.

Original Physiques has been writing programs for me for a few years now and I have never looked back. They take great interest in my goals and caters their programs to my workout style, needs and acknowledges the areas where I need to improve. Original Physiques is invested in my development and I really trust them with my goals. I am definitely in the best shape of my life in this moment and I owe a lot of that to these programs! have been able to reach my goals and get PRs, which allows me to make new goals and consistently improve my fitness level. I was a bit intimidated by the most recent program Original Physiques made for me, but I’m two weeks in now and am loving it! I can’t wait to see my progress over the next few weeks.

TESTIMONIALS
I’ve been a member of the Original Physiques Family for over nine years. The transformation that I’ve made has been staggering. It hasn’t come easy. I’ve spent thousands of hours lifting in the gym, on my treadmill, and prepping in the kitchen. The level of consistency and discipline that I follow everyday makes maintaining my physique much easier. These habits have transferred over into other aspects of my life both personally and professionally. I put my mind and body through an experience that I could have never imagined nine years ago. When I stepped on stage in October of 2024, I knew I belonged, I wasn’t nervous, I wasn’t scared because I prepared and put in the work to ensure that I was ready for the moment. I couldn't be more grateful.
Mike Edgar is the owner of Original Physiques and my coach. The relationship between coach and athlete requires consistency, dedication, and hard work from both parties. As I’ve never wavered neither has Mike. It’s a testament to the commitment he makes to his clients. I appreciate you brother and I’m looking forward to all of our future progress and success!
