Hi I’m Mike Bitel I am a Registered Kinesiologist, Certified Clinical Exercise Physiologist, and a Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist. I have grown up playing soccer here in London, Ontario. I developed a passion for the sport and managed to experience great opportunities as an elite level athlete (varsity, semi-professional and professional academy and trial experiences). Due to my passion for sports and exercise, I pursued an education in Kinesiology and Exercise Physiology at Western University. My interests are in developing physical fitness in high level athletes and strengthening all individuals to perform better in their daily lives. I’m a believer of building a strong lower body or base which I think helps people move better and become stronger. Furthermore, with my research experience in aerobic and anaerobic fitness, I have strong knowledge to help individuals achieve their fitness goals in endurance such as going for long walks, runs or participating in events such as marathons. As a Registered Kinesiologist, personal trainer and soccer coach, I have worked with a wide range of youth and adult populations in developing training/treatment programs, where I motivated individuals to adopt healthy exercise routines and eating habits that built confidence, developed skills (not only physical skills, but also time management and stress management skills) and improved overall well-being. During my interactions with clients I take the time to learn and understand the many factors affecting their decisions around exercise and dietary behaviour to help develop training/treatment programs. My goal at Align is to prescribe exercises that bring value and set-up individuals for long-term success. Building stronger and more confident versions of themselves.
