“When I had the opportunity to sign my first professional contract about six months before the season began, I decided to work with Lovely for his experience in sport-specific training. This decision was a true game changer and prepared me to compete at the next level.”

— Giancarlo Cana-Jarquin, Flower City Union

“Lovely strength and conditioning allowed me to be stronger, faster, and even smarter in the game of soccer. Working with Mike has allowed me quicker recovery from injuries allowing me to get on the field faster.”

— Mya, Weber State Women’s Soccer

“Lovely Strength and Conditioning made sure my training was specifically designed for me. In my case I need more explosiveness while still maintaining good stamina. Mike’s professionalism didn’t just start and end in his gym. He wanted to know what my soccer training was like, what kind of conditioning I already do, what food I consume, and my recovery methods.”

— Quinn Mello-Bastida, Willamette University and Professional Soccer

“My Son, Jay is working on big dreams. And he's not going anywhere that Mike Lovely can't go. He's working on making his dreams of playing baseball in college a reality. And there's nobody that works harder. I'll always credit Mike for the work ethic. I don't know if Jay was born with it and or if it was hiding somewhere. Mike either uncovered it or gave Jay the tools for it. Either way, Mike has changed the course of Jay's life in ways we have yet to discover.” 

— Mother of Jay, High School Baseball

“Lovely strength and condition took a ground-up approach. I had extensive conversations with Mike about my goals and aspirations in the weight room and beyond. This made everything we did feel like a collaboration because a lot of trust had already been formed. We found out my max lifts for the squat and deadlift and started there. At first, it was about correcting technique. After that, it was about gradually increasing the weight and understanding that every day you’ll feel different. This meant I could go hard on the days I felt really good and manage myself on the days the weight wasn’t quite moving as well. Adding additional stability exercises and respecting the speed days for moving quickly I really feel like my body has not only adapted to the training but improved as a result of the training. All the evidence can be seen in the numbers continuing to rise each week.”
