I’ve only been at LIFT for a few weeks, and I’m already hooked. I started my health journey in August 2025, trying to figure things out on my own—but I felt stuck and unsure how to actually get stronger.A friend pointed me to LIFT and Coach Mike, and it’s been a total game changer. Every workout leaves me feeling stronger, more confident, and motivated to keep going. Coach Mike is the real deal—if you want results and a coach who knows how to get you there, this is it.

I’ve been working out with Mike at LIFT since January and can’t say enough how much it’s helped me. I’ve had very little experience in the gym and started with zero confidence in myself. Mike met me where I was at and helped me see I was capable. I still have a lot of work to do but I feel like I can get there now.

Mike coaches many different levels of workout abilities and does it with so much positivity, encouragement & energy. So thankful he's in Haughton!

Honestly, I’ve really been loving this gym. The vibe is not intimidating at all, which makes it way easier to stay consistent. Mike is always friendly, helpful, and will push you when you need it or support you where you’re at. Everything is kept really clean.There’s a good mix of equipment, so whether you’re just getting started or already into your routine, he has what you need. I also like that Mike creates workouts that are never redundant. I always look forward to the challenges!Overall, it’s just a great place to go, be around good people, get a good workout, and feel good after. Definitely recommend checking it out!

I started my journey with LIFT, in December of 2025. I have an unusual schedule that Does not fit most trainers schedule. However the options that Mike offers fit most of the time! I have past injuries that keep me from doing everything I would like, but Mike modifies and keeps me on target. I love the tracking of progress, the small class size and the personal attention. I definitely have made strength progress and looking forward to reaching my goals! Come join us!

Mike is an inspiring trainer and coach. I have known him for years, from when he ran a CrossFit gym in Eagle River, Ak. We recently reconnected after I suffered a knee injury which completely tore my fitness world apart. He took his time to try to understand my limitations, do research, and design a safe, effective program to meet my goals. I am so grateful for his support and passion when it comes to fitness - even with barriers - and would not hesitate to recommend training with him! Thank you coach Mike!

Training here has been such a positive experience for me. I came in feeling stuck and unmotivated, and working with Mike truly helped pull me out of that slump. He creates an environment that’s supportive, encouraging, and motivating without ever feeling intimidating. Being at this gym has helped me both mentally and physically, and I genuinely look forward to showing up. I’m stronger, more confident, and in a much better headspace because of it. I’m so grateful I found this place.

I joined LIFT Haughton with Coach Mike a little over a month ago. I saw his post about him opening a gym up in Haughton which is a great need [the location is convenient too] and happened to be just what I was looking for in a gym; A knowledgeable trainer that is encouraging, uplifting and makes working out fun ! He holds me accountable and pushes me to keep moving. I already notice a difference in my strength and endurance. 💪🏼 My goal is to be healthier and stronger for my kids ! ❤️ I can already tell a difference in my body after 15 training sessions with Coach Mike @ Lift Haughton!!

Mike has been a great encourager and I appreciate his attention to detail with lifts and movements!!

been around plenty of gyms over the years, but LIFT Haughton stands out for all the right reasons. The energy, the community, and the coaching are top-notch. You can tell the ownership truly cares about people—not just reps or PRs.Even though it used to be CrossFit Eagle River, the new direction as LIFT keeps the same core grit and family feel while adding more flexibility for all fitness levels. Whether you’re chasing strength, endurance, or just trying to move better, the programming delivers results without burning you out.The coaches know their stuff and push you just enough to keep improving. And the people? They make you want to show up. It’s not just a gym—it’s a crew that has your back.If you want real training, real people, and a place that makes you feel at home while getting stronger—this is it.

I was a U.S. Army Ranger, and even with that background, I’ve never been stronger than I was training with Mike. He knows exactly how to push you—never for ego, always for growth. His “do less, better” approach taught me how to train smart, stay healthy, and stay consistent.Mike doesn’t just build bodies—he builds a family.Haughton, Louisiana doesn’t know how lucky it is to have him.
