About Integra EDU

After 30 years in fitness, Michael still approaches every challenge like a puzzle to solve. He founded Integra in 1997 with a simple question: why do some people progress while others don't? That investigation became our educational method.

Michael holds an MSc in Biomechanics, RTS Mastery and MAT Mastery, plus extensive certifications across multiple methodologies (CPT, CSCS, FNS, PES, McGill, NOI, and others). He established Integra EDU in 2002 and joined the RTS faculty in 2012, teaching trainers worldwide what he discovers through continued client work.

Every exercise is an experiment. Every rep is data. This investigative approach - developed through nearly three decades of asking why some clients progress while others don't - now guides exercise professionals worldwide to think differently about movement and adaptation.

Featured in GQ Magazine and Runner's World, Michael bridges the gap between research and real training floors. His methods transform how professionals understand exercise, turning complex biomechanics into practical solutions that work.

The professionals he's taught work globally, building thriving practices through better questions and deeper understanding. They're the trainers others study, refer to, and seek out for the toughest cases.
