"Without a doubt she has helped my son improve his game so much in a very short amount of time over the last few months that I still can believe it. With a well rounded program including on-court and off-court training, individual and team work, nutrition and weights, she is setting a foundation for success that he will carry with him throughout his career going forward…however far that is.She genuinely cares for the kids and it shows. He is not only growing as a basketball player, but as a human being as well, because of her positive  influence and unwavering support." - Ryan Gould (July 2022)

3A Southern Mountain League MVP (22-23)

"Coach Mikaela has constantly pushed me to strive for development and growth, within the means of a positive and strategic training outline.  She does a really good job at ensuring you a continually progressing.  At the same time, I never felt that I was pushing the envelope on fatigue leading to injury(s).  Self discipline also goes a long way with Coach Mikaela.  My commitment & dedication to her guided training sessions and support made for optimal benefits and results.  Much of my success has been based in learning how to hold myself accountable in order to achieve what I wanted. After only 3 months of working with Coach Mikaela, I had noticeable changes in the mirror.  I looked and felt stronger than ever, along with my highest achievement…an increase to my vertical jump.  An amazing 10”!!

Coach Darryl Littlefield (Henderson, NV)

3A Southern Mountain League Coach of The Year (22-23)

"When I first met Coach Mikaela, it was about coaching a few individual players. Things quickly transformed into her training the entire team, in addition to joining the coaching staff for the 2022-23 season. I saw numerous athletes improve in their athleticism, developing strength, improving endurance, remain injury free and most importantly understand how to train at the level they aspire to play at. I was thrilled to see the excitement the boys had to train with Coach Mikaela knowing they were continually seeing improvements and could trust her to get them to closer to their goals each and every week. The training with Coach Mikaela goes well beyond the x’s and o’s, as she is thorough, always prepared and extremely precise in programming, scheduling and more. This has helped my boys prepare mentally and physically to endure the season and perform at an elite level. There is an endless amount of positives that Coach brings to the table for myself, my staff and my players and for that we are very grateful to have her by our side." - Darryl Littlefield (March 2023) 

Jeremiah Skillman (Henderson, NV)

"With coach Mikk I participated in strength and conditioning and on court training.  I also began my  fat loss journey upon training with her and it helped me a-lot. I added a significant amount of muscle, improved my speed and endurance.  Coach Mikk  doesn’t let you just give up for anything, she pushes you no matter what and helps you develop mental toughness on and off the court. Through training with Coach, my mentality of how to train and compete has an entirely new perspective.  Overall coach Mikk is just a great coach and you can learn so much from her training, motivation and support.  I would definitely recommend coach Mikk as your trainer." -Jeremiah Skillman  (March 2023) 

Lincoln Paulson (Henderson, NV)

"Coach Mikaela helped me improve my game in so many different ways. We mainly focused on strength and conditioning and the rest transferred to the game, during our season I felt much stronger than I ever have in the game. I was able to get up to the rim with ease compared to before. Training with Coach Mikk is a great experience because she knows how to deal with every kid differently, she coaches you how you’re best coached. She also took my confidence and mentality to an entirely new level I got a taste of what my best self is on the court, along with that I started to feel like I really had a different mentality when it came to the game and coach Mikk helped me evolve in that way. "  - Lincoln Paulson (March 2023)

"METAFit showed me how to exceed my personal limits and expectations I used to have for myself. Coach Mikaela is a very motivational coach and will make you push yourself to get where you wanna be.  I appreciate how straight forward and honest she is with where you are at, realistic expectations you can have for yourself and helping you reach your goals. Since I’ve joined METAFit I’ve become more explosive, faster, and improved my stamina in the games. There are multiple examples where athletes that have worked with her have improved and that alone makes it easy to trust what she is teaching you. "  - Barron Bracken (March 2023) 

Chelsea Austin ( Las Vegas. NV)

“METAFit training is the TRUTH!! After taking years off from basketball, my athleticism and bounce had died down and were almost none existent. After training with Coach Mikaela consistently, my athleticism and fitness levels raised so much that I’m in better shape and more athletic than when I was playing in college. Her training is effective, detailed, and organized. You get results which is the most important part. You don’t get overly pushed or forced to exhaustion. There is a sweet spot you get where you are challenged yet at your pace. This training program is elite. (July 2023)

"During the course of working out with Coach Mikaela, I have experienced a whole new level of hard work. Every time I get in the lab with her, she pushes me to set the bar at least one percent higher every time. No matter what time of day or what's going on that day she will give you her full effort to make you better. Due to her energy while I'm always excited to get back to training. Her passion for her clients is one to none and I'm grateful to have a trainer that will run through a wall for me if she had to.” - Dominik Tavares (July 2022)

Noah Childress (Henderson, NV) 

“Coach Mikaela has been a huge part of getting me back to competitive football and confidently playing, after tearing my ACL. She created workouts for me that were geared specifically toward helping me recover properly and build athletic strength. In a span of 3 months, I went from not even being able to jump due to a lack of strength and power in my leg to now being able to jump explosively, move faster laterally and accelerate faster on the field! I finally feel 100% and ready for college ball!” - Noah Childress (August 2022)

I'm happy to have created a sustainable journey that I look forward to each and every day!" (February 2021)

Darlene Sua (Henderson, NV)

"March 10th I met Coach Mikaela, I was hesitant on training with her because I underestimated her she looked fit and could never understand my goals. How wrong was I she not only helped me achieve some of my goals she has shown me the proper way. No short cuts no fad diet eat right don’t starve and put in that work I am 23 lbs down in about 4 months. As a stroke survivor, I was hesitant about my limits she has proved there are no limitations! I am definitely grateful for meeting her! Real woman real goals!" (January 2022)

Nick Paquette (Temecula, CA)

At the start of my 21-day transformation, I was 185 and not eating enough or having proper nutrition on top of that. Mikaela provided the tools and knowledge and held me accountable. As a result, I dropped to 180, cut my fat drastically, and was able to build and put on muscle while on a cutting diet! Having a partner with the knowledge is invaluable and Mikaela is a trainer I would recommend to anyone. (April 2022)

Lauren Anderson (Winnipeg, MB Canada)

While working with METAfit I was able to achieve my fitness goals as well as develop healthy habits in my life.

"I really liked how Mikaela continually checked in on me and promptly answered any questions I had. She committed to her fullest every day to help me and other individuals succeed.

(April 2021)
