Get Your Free 360° Body Audit"I was self-motivated and skeptical about personal training, but my first session with Mike 15 years ago changed that fast. His understanding of anatomy and body mechanics goes deeper than any medical professional, and his ability to push and motivate is unmatched. We now live in Boston and belong to a top fitness club with plenty of certified trainers, but there's no comparison. We make the trip to Concord twice a week because Mike and his staff are simply the best."
"I started training with Mike when I turned 50, and it's one of the best decisions I've ever made. He got me into the best shape of my life when many people start to slow down. His philosophy is thoughtful, sustainable, and effective, focused on real strength, mobility, and lasting confidence. Nearly 15 years later, I'm still training with Mike and have never felt better or stronger. His consistency, knowledge, and commitment to clients are unmatched."
"Best investment I've made in my health, hands down. Mike's approach to training is both challenging and sustainable. He builds programs that fit your life, not the other way around. Two years in and I'm still making progress and genuinely enjoying the process."
"I've worked with Mike for over 15 years. In each phases of my life, whether it was being a college athlete or a professional, he has always created programs, motivated, and challenged me through every step of my fitness journey. He knows exactly how to balance your goals while also making sure to push you to do more than you believed you could."
"Best training experience I've ever had. The facilities are top-notch and the coaches genuinely care about your progress. Every session is tailored to where I'm at, and I've seen more results in the last six months than in years of training on my own."
"As someone who was intimidated by gyms, Oakes Fitness made me feel welcome and supported from day one. The environment is encouraging, never judgmental, and Mike takes the time to make sure you understand every exercise and why it matters for your goals."
"The women's group classes are amazing! The energy in every session keeps you motivated and accountable. I've made real friends here and we push each other to show up and give it everything. The results speak for themselves. I'm stronger than I've ever been."
"Lost 40 pounds and gained more strength than I ever thought possible. This place genuinely changed my life. Mike kept me accountable when I wanted to quit and celebrated every milestone with me. I came in looking for a trainer and found a community."
"Professional, knowledgeable, and truly invested in helping you reach your goals. Mike doesn't just put you through a workout. He educates you along the way so you understand your body better. I can't recommend Oakes Fitness enough to anyone serious about their health."
"The Concord location is perfect for me. It's clean, well-equipped, and never overcrowded during my sessions. More importantly, the coaching staff makes every visit worth it. I always leave feeling challenged, accomplished, and ready to come back."

What Our Clients Are Saying
"I have been a client of Mike Oakes' for over 10 years. During that time, my fitness journey and goals have changed. When I first started with Mike, I was trying to maintain a 40 pound weight loss, but over the years it has morphed into feeling strong, independent, and empowered in my body. No longer was my goal to see a certain number on the scale, but rather I wanted to see a change in my muscle tone, I wanted functional strength, and above all I wanted to avoid injury. Having been a runner for 20+ years, there was a lot of wear and tear on certain muscle groups and weakness in others as those muscles tried to compensate. Mike understood how important running was for me mentally, and we were able to work together to strengthen certain weak areas and gain mobility in order to maintain my ability to run pain and injury free.
Mike's training sessions are personal and tailored to your unique goals - even when those goals change. It's the best feeling in the world - both mentally and physically - to show up to a workout not knowing what to expect, sweating and working hard, and then realizing that was EXACTLY what you needed that day. I'm not sure what tomorrow will bring in my fitness journey, but I am confident that with Mike at my side I will continue to see great progress. Fitness is a life-long journey and it should evolve with you. Mike understands that and takes great pride in seeing his clients succeed."
