Michael Bassey

Michael cares deeply about his clients, and there’s nothing of more value to him than helping a client go through an experience that makes them happy, confident, and strong. Being overweight or uncomfortable in your skin effects many aspects of your life, and he  wants to be there for you and help you discover the benefits and joys of training that helped him become the person that he is today.

A healthy lifestyle is much more than just lifting weights. It’s about stretching, warming up, eating healthily, and getting the necessary amount of rest time to recover. Michael loves helping others see and experience what their bodies are capable of with just enough hard work and he makes it his goal to help you achieve a happy and well-balanced lifestyle that will minimize the risk of future health-related issues. “Raw power gym has become my family for many years now, they have helped raise and mold me into the trainer I am today.”
