Elevate Massage + Performance — Attraction in San Luis Obispo

You know how some people say the gym is like their sanctuary? Or happen to have a friend that can’t miss a day “crushing it” at the gym? Well I’m not one of them...

I’m not a gym-goer by any means. I like activities! I run, hike, kayak, SUP and adventure frequently, but the gym… not my scene, not my vibe. Backtrack a year to an irritated IT band and a halt in training for our favorite City-to-Sea ½ marathon and I thought the answer was just, I should stop running for a bit. Pretty silly in retrospect that I easily blew off one of my passions thinking that my body just needed to rest.

Let me just say, thank goodness I crossed paths with Mike. Few minutes into describing my aggravating knee pain, he worked his magic on my knee, let me know of some stretches to keep my mobility, and said I could most definitely benefit from a strengthening program to make my body work synchronously instead of perpetuating imbalances in different muscle groups that could be contributing to my pain. So here I am, post a couple month-long personalized strength training program with him, pain free and stronger than I’ve been in a long time.

Now remember how I said I’m not a gym-er? I’m still not.. it's intimidating. I’ve never lifted weights really in my life but let me tell you, Mike is the real deal. His light hearted, can-do attitude definitely put my anxious heart at rest and helped me find motivation to do something that truly scared me.. and dare I say it, have some fun along the way. He excels at enabling his clients to find that happy medium of pushing yourself safely but getting the most from your workout because c’mon, without someone coaching me through form, technique, and showing me how my body really can do that last rep of kettlebell swings when I feel like sitting down and calling it quits, I probably wouldn’t see the results I have today.

Pretty thankful for this guy right here and the hard work he invests in helping his clients reach their goals for mobility, strength and pain reduction and would highly recommend any of...

Best trainer period. I'm 43 and in my mind I have one more shot in my life to accomplish my athletic goals which was cut short in my younger years because I chose work/career over my college wrestling. I'm on a mission for this season of my life to accomplish the highest goals in my division for jiu jitsu and I need the best trainers, nutrition, regiment and I'm willing to put in the work. Mike Peevler is the absolute best trainer I've ever worked with(and I've worked with a lot). I feel like he cares as much as I do about my goals. He is more knowledgeable than anyone I've ever worked with in this space. He holds himself to the highest standards and encourages his athletes to do the same in a positive and constructive way. A total professional and I truly feel lucky to have him coach me. We train 3x a week and I get a massage weekly too and net result is that I'm stronger than I've ever been and I wrestled in college. I'm shocked with the gains and I've enjoyed the journey and guidance from the top dog coach bar none Mr Mike Peevler. If you can get into his calendar and you're not f'ing around with your health and wellness you'll see the difference between him and everyone else. He lives and breaths this stuff and it's contagious and we're all better off for it. 5 stars for my favorite...

I cannot express how happy and satisfied I am with Mikes services! Mike was thorough, highly informative, professional, and he made me feel very comfortable. I was having continuous pain in my knee and lower back before going to EMP. I had tried vitamins, stretching, seeing the doctor, but none of it helped- until Mike came to the rescue and worked his magic on me! He took the time to explain to me in a very no nonsense way why I was having the pains I was having and after giving my body the “hard reset” it much needed he spent time showing me stretches to keep the pain from coming back.... Let me tell you- this is the first time in months that I haven’t had any knee or lower back pain! I didn’t think it was possible, but I haven’t had pain since I last saw Mike and it feels so amazing! If I could give him 10/10 stars I would. If you’re in the SLO area I highly recommend Mike for all your body work and...
