moving with intention
My name is Mikael Ruffin, and I have been an ACSM certified personal trainer since 2018. I'm originally from Puyallup, Washington, but moved to Austin in 2018. I graduated from Willamette University in Salem, Oregon in 2018 with a BA in Exercise and Health Sciences.
As a kid, I was always very active - I played every single sport that a young kid growing up in Washington could play. I fell in love with the game of football, and ultimately ended up playing in college. Despite being an active kid, I was very overweight all the way up until my junior year of college, and that severely affected my self confidence. After I sprained my MCL during the offseason of my junior year of football, I blew up to 227lbs - the heaviest I've ever been.
I knew I needed to make a change, and that's exactly what I did. Using the knowledge I gained from my classes, I was able to drop 40lbs before the start of my senior year. That feeling of accomplishment and confidence that came with that weight loss was a major catalyst for my ever growing love of fitness, and inspired me to want to help other achieve those exact same feelings. Nothing brings me more joy than seeing my clients achieve their goals, and learn to love themselves along the way. I look forward to working with you, and can't wait to see you accomplish your goals!
