Today we’d like to introduce you to Mikhael Ricks.
Mikhael, can you briefly walk us through your story – how you started and how you got to where you are today.
I played professional football for 7 years with the San Diego Chargers, Kansas City Chiefs and Detroit Lions. After retiring, I began a career in Sports Performance Training with Velocity Sports Performance where I became the Performance Director. Upon moving to Miami, I had a vision of training individual with the same Sports Performance base but with a correctional exercise and sports medicine capabilities involved in Personal Coaching and Small Group Training. A majority of my clientele has had some type of injury or may be coming off of rehab or just don’t know where to go to keep their body or get their body healthy. That is the reason MRSPFitness was created.
Great, so let’s dig a little deeper into the story – has it been an easy path overall and if not, what were the challenges you’ve had to overcome?
The road as rewarding as it has been, has not been smooth. They say if you can stay in a business for 5 year then you’ve made it. I wanted to see how I could do by just diving in with no experience and learn along the way. A lot of the struggles deals with marketing, how to make sure you stay up on daily trends with fitness and make sure you have a system in place that people believe and are getting results in a safe environment. There are a lot of gyms, studios and fitness facilities that are going after the same clients, but you just have to believe in what you do and make sure you are giving the best product out there.
Alright – so let’s talk business. Tell us about MR Sports Performance Fitness (MRSPFitness) – what should we know?
MRSP Fitness was created for people that want to push themselves to their limits. These people aren’t satisfied with going to the gym and spinning on a bike or jogging on a treadmill for an hour. They want to be taken out of their comfort zone. I have created proven programs that will provide the results you’re looking for whether it’s to build muscle and lose fat or to build physical and mental toughness.
MRSPFitness offers a state of the art indoor workout facility. The facility is designed to cater to all fitness levels from beginner to expert.
MRSPFitness is not a cookie cutter facility. We will not post a workout on the wall and leave you to figure it out. We get to know you as an individual. Everyone was not created the same. Each of us has different needs and wants. I will create a custom workout that will elicit the changes you are looking for, providing it through one-on-one and group training. I am not all about the physical component but the mental aspect as well going after the “Mind/Body” connection.
As an owner, I am very proud of my custom facility and takes pride in using it to mold his clients into the athletes they strive to become.
Is there a characteristic or quality that you feel is essential to success?
Personality, you can know everything and be the smartest person in the room, but if you cannot make people feel comfortable be compassionate at times, make people laugh, yet being able to push people outside their comfort zones, it will be hard to be successful.
