Testimonials
Michael is incredibly knowledgeable and experienced in the fitness studio industry. He knows the best policies, financial ratios/benchmarks, and management structures to implement, and which to avoid. Best of all, he is generous with his time and cares genuinely about helping those he mentors and serves. I only wish I would have found him sooner!

I can't thank Michael enough for the time he poured into mentoring me with my fitness business. He gave me so much of his time, expertise, answered questions, and helped me navigate through countless obstacles. What Michael has done for me and my family is above and beyond what I would've ever expected a mentor to do. I want to thank Michael for being reliable and consistent with holding me accountable towards my goals and success.

Michael was a great mentor and business coach. He visited my gym several times and helped us increase our revenue and get back into the black during the summer months when things were really slow. Unfortunately, we had to close our business due to COVID, and Michael counseled us through the bankruptcy process. I appreciate all his advice and words of encouragement.

Working for Michael for the past 6 years has been a life changing experience. I consider Michael to be much more than just my employer, he has been a great leader as well as a role model. He has taught me how to manage my time more efficiently, helped me to mature as a man as well as how to keep track of my financials and to plan ahead. Receiving constructive criticism can be difficult to swallow, however I have been able to learn and adapt to be a better coach and trainer through the years I have been working for Michael at PG Fit.

Michael Romig of PG Fit has been an amazing mentor, teacher and coach. He opened his facility to me in more ways than an intern could really expect. I worked with him 15-20 hours a week at the gym and learned all aspects of the business – from shadowing to teaching; learning to developing programs; sales to service. He was an excellent teacher and mentor!

Michael has been by far the most positive, valuable experience I have had in my career as a personal trainer. He is dedicated, passionate, and motivated to succeed in everything he does. His devotion to the well-being of others is extremely apparent through his work as a personal trainer and gym owner. Michael, he has educated, instructed, and prepared me as a personal trainer, unlike anyone else. I have gained an invaluable amount of knowledge through his teaching and instruction. I, along with the many clients Michael has trained over the years, are lucky to have the opportunity to work with him and learn from one of the best.

Michael walked me through all the essentials and more to become a great Personal Trainer. This had a huge impact on my level of confidence when instructing clients in either group or one on one training, as I am now confident in my programs, knowledge, and overall approach. This internship was a lot of fun and gave me the necessary hands on experience to be a phenomenal PT wherever I choose to work. I can say without a doubt, that I have learned a great deal from Michael and would recommend all other interns to work with and learn from him. This was a fantastic experience, I’m happy I had the opportunity be part of such a great gym.

Michael came out to my facility and spent the time to review my business with me. Even though I have been in the fitness industry for several years, Michael helped me rediscover my training philosophy and inspired me to keep growing my business. We have now relocated to a bigger facility, and I have hired additional personal trainers. As a result of Michael’s guidance, I will be selling my business and retiring soon.

When Michael Romig took charge of our struggling studio owners’ group, he quickly turned it into a well-organized source of support and guidance. He leads with patience and encouragement, offering advice based on his years of experience, while allowing plenty of space for everyone in the group to have a voice. He also goes out of his way to provide extra consultation on tough issues. I look forward to our monthly meetings!

Michael has been a mentor and moderator for AFS Roundtable groups that I have participated in for the past year. He is organized and efficient in running these meetings. He guides the conversations to assure all participants are both heard and also receive feedback from those in the meeting.
Michael is both confident and competent when it comes to the fitness industry and fitness operations. He gives solid suggestions and is cognizant that participants in the Roundtable groups are from diverse types and sizes of fitness facilities from all across the US. I have found the AFS Roundtable group to be extremely helpful, especially during the Covid outbreak.

Shortly after completing my CPT through the National Academy of Sports Medicine, I was given an the opportunity to intern at PGfit under Michael Romig. Being new to the profession, one of my main concerns was my lack of knowledge regarding what it would take to be successful. After my first week of interning at PGfit, I came to the realization that learning from Michael Romig was a unique opportunity that I could not pass. Not only has he inspired me to study and acquire more information that would later prove to be beneficial, but he has also helped me to adapt and utilize the knowledge and information I obtained in order to achieve success.
As far as an educator and mentor, I could not ask for more. Michael has completed and earned many certification in the realm of health and fitness, however his most valuable attribute isn't attached to a certification and cant be found in a textbook. Michaels most valuable attribute is the quality of his character. His sincerity, kindness and desire to help people is of the highest standard. His drive to continually grow and obtain more information is a result of his want to help individuals as much as possible. The combination of his knowledge and the quality of his character undoubtedly makes Michael Romig the right choice to help the success of your business as well as your personal growth. As far as a friend and role model, I could not ask for more.

I joined the AFS round table many years ago and found great value in this monthly program. When our moderator announced he was leaving our group and passing the responsibility on to Michael I was admittedly skeptical as attendance had already dropped in the previous months. Shame on me for doubting, as Michael turned out to be an incredible moderator and has added value to discussions with his professionalism, organization and most of all, the high standards he holds for the group and himself. He outlines the expectations and goals for each meeting and the conversations are engaging and productive. These monthly discussions have gone from another obligation on my calendar to one of my favorite hours of the month.

Michael has been a huge asset to me and the whole team at Temple Builders. His leadership and mentoring has been invaluable during the early growth of our business. Michael has gone out of the way to make sure we have the information we need, even driving hours out of the way just to say hi and check on our facility. If I was closer to Houston, we would likely see me at least once a week. Michael is excellent in whatever he does and it’s obvious the first time you visit with him.

My time at PG Fit was absolutely incredible. I was brought on via the Internship. I gained so much knowledge from Michael Romig. The amount of knowledge I learned in 6 weeks would've taken me 2 years on my own. There's an intense focus on learning both in the Internship program, as well as throughout PG Fit itself. Because of that, I'm being required to help myself and further my advancement in my field where they otherwise would've likely taken months if not years to obtain. On top of that, I wasn't thrown to the wolves with the certifications. Michael took time out of his day to work through most of the information required to pass the test. However, he then took it a step further and taught me how to use that information in the sphere of personal and group training.
And it doesn't stop there! The people there are the absolute best. All of the trainers I had a chance to work with were all incredibly knowledgeable as well as fantastic trainers and coworkers. I had a blast working with them. On top of that, the members were amazing. The love and gratification I felt helping these wonderful people out is unlike anything else I've experienced in the fitness industry. I genuinely cannot recommend a better place to be an intern. This place will forever have my heart!
