Functional training and lifestyle coaching for 30 to 50 year olds who refuse to plateau. In person across Leeds, Morley, Batley and Wakefield. Online anywhere.
If you nodded at any of those, this is the page you've been looking for.
Hello. I'm Mikey, founder of The Body Engineer. I coach men and women aged 30 to 50 who want their training to feel like progress again, not maintenance.
My job is to engineer your body the way an engineer designs a machine. Assess what you've got. Build the right system. Optimise it relentlessly. No guesswork. No fluff. No bro-science.
I'm certified in everything I coach. I train alongside my clients. I run a community of people who lift hard, eat well, and live properly. If that sounds like the table you want to be at, come and sit down.
"This isn't a six-week challenge or a YouTube programme. It's a system. Run it intelligently and the results compound." — The TBE method
I work with people who treat training as a long game. Who want a coach, not a cheerleader. Who'd rather have the truth at 6am than a motivational quote at lunchtime. If that's you, the application is at the bottom of this page.
Most coaches sell sessions. I sell a system. Three phases, repeated relentlessly until the result is unavoidable.
Intake call. Movement screen. Body composition baseline. Training history. Lifestyle context. Goals translated into measurable, defensible targets. Nothing built before everything is measured.
PrecisionCustom programme designed against your assessment data. Periodised. Functional bias. Nutrition system that fits your week, not someone else's Instagram. Calibrated to your recovery capacity, schedule and equipment.
SystemsWeekly check-ins. Honest feedback both ways. Evidence-based adjustments. Every variable measured, every feedback loop closed, every plateau hunted down. This is where most coaches stop. It's where the work actually starts.
OptimisationPick the format that fits your life. The standard stays the same.
Bespoke sessions in Leeds, Morley, Batley and Wakefield. Full programming, full accountability, hands-on coaching every rep.
Custom programme delivered through the app. Weekly check-ins. WhatsApp access for everything in between. Same standard, no postcode.
The Body Engineer community. In-person training days, structured workshops, a network of people pulling in the same direction. Lonely doesn't build anything.
