Mike Foster – Personal Trainer | Lower Back Pain Specialist | PFA Power MENtor

I became a Personal Trainer to help people cut through the noise and get real results — losing fat, building strength, and improving fitness in a way that actually lasts.

My focus is simple: help you move better, get stronger, and feel more capable in everyday life.

Alongside general fat loss and strength coaching, I specialise in helping people overcome lower back pain through structured, strength-based training — rebuilding confidence in their bodies rather than avoiding movement.

I’m also one of the only TRX-qualified Personal Trainers in the area, using suspension training to improve core strength, stability, athleticism, and injury resilience.

Outside of fitness, I run PFA Power MENtor, where I mentor men to build physical strength, discipline, leadership, and higher personal standards.

Strong body.
Clear standards.
Capable life.

If you genuinely want someone who will actually listen to you, advise you with good science behind it, I couldn’t recommend Mike enough.

SAEED HAJI

Friendly and approachable personal trainer who makes a challenging training session an enjoyable experience. Lovely fellow members. Highly recommend the gym.

IAN DAVIS

Every session is tough, but that’s exactly what I needed. You get all the benefits of basically having a personal trainer to push you, but as part of a small group of people who each work at their level. 

Suffice to say I’m hooked and would highly recommend going to the small group sessions with Mike and Max. I genuinely look forward to the next session and can’t wait to see the results over the coming months.

ROBERTO MONFARDINI

I have been seeing Mike for about 4 months now and in that short time i have achieved some great results. The plan Mike has put together along with training and regular check ins have made me see some real progress.

He adapts his plans to suit you, motivates you without being too pushy and does not take himself too seriously. All in all a fantastic trainer.

Where do I start? I find it really difficult to keep motivated and often spend my time wondering round a gym aimlessly not a clue what to do. After doing some research i found Mike Foster fitness. I joined their small group PT sessions at 6am and it’s fantastic! The training is great- you don’t have to think about anything and is as challenging as you want it to be. Apart from the actual fitness the community is by far the best part! Like minded people who want to get fit but have a laugh whilst doing it. I’m now enjoying my 5:45 wake up call and sets my day up. Mike and his team run a brilliant gym

AMELIA FEARN

I’ve attended 121 and small group classes with MFF for 18 months. I have never been stronger. Mike and Clare are beautiful and kind people and understood their roles perfectly.

HELEN ROBERTS

Mike Foster Fitness is a fantastic gym. I have lost over 4 stone since February and gained lean muscle. The sessions are challenging but always fun. Mike and Claire and the whole MFF community are extremely supportive. I found them the best gym for specialising in help me as a woman over 40 to lose weight and I am very proud of my strength gains.

AMIE KUMAR

I was at Mike Foster Fitness for approximately 12 months and had the pleasure of being trained by both Mike & Clare. What a fantastic duo they are.

I had put on a lot of weight after going through a big loss in my family and starting at this Gym really helped me to feel normal again.

ANDY CLAYTON

Re-motivated an un-motivated 50 something back to training.

Really good crowd, no cliques and an exceptional training experience

KATIE WILLIS

Both Mike and Claire are so supportive and really care about their members.
I now look forward to training!
The whole community is extremely welcoming and I’m now a healthier, happier version of myself compared to when I first joined.

SALEH HAKEEM

Brilliant PT , from beginner to experienced Gym goer Mike has a solution for all. Definitely worth booking in if you want results.

ALAN HOGWOOD

We’ve been working on strength and cardio over quite a few months now. Our sessions are varied, always focused on functional movements with ‘mean’ finishers interlaced with cardio madness.
I used to have a weak back and would end up tweaking it and be in excruciating pain.. now I only ever ache in a good way.
