Sparta Fitness and Training

Mike is super friendly and very knowledgeable . He assessed my current level of strength, mobility etc and designed programs/exercises which are tailored just for me. My 15+ desk job gave some bad upper shoulder and neck pain and I have used quick fixes before but Mike's TRX exercises strengthened my back and improved my movements within 2-3 weeks . Mike focuses on functional fitness which is need of the hour. I am glad I went to Sparta Fitness instead of the big box gyms and I simply loved having the whole gym to myself during our personal training sessions. Thank you Mike.

Mike is great about seeing what my body needs. It may hard core or yoga. Studio is super-clean and comfy. I have never had a trainer who has been able to focus me.

I'm in my late 50's, and have been dealing with lower back and other injury issues for 3 plus decades. I've had physical therapy before, but this is REAL physical therapy. In 3 weeks Mike has made a world of difference in how I feel daily now. He tailors the training to specifically target the issue(s), and does it with documented theory and proven program training plans. He let's you go at your own pace, but motivates you in the right way to go further. Mike does a great job of verbally explaining each step as well as demonstrating proper technique. Each session Mike reinforces his training using effective media and instruction all tailored to the individual during your one on one session. HIGHLY recommend Mike and his program.

Stellar knowledge and a cozy environment.

I've only been working with Mike at Sparta for a month, but I have already made progress toward my specific goals and have noticed changes in my strength, posture and mobility. Mike is encouraging and positive and the workouts are challenging but also fun! I always leave Sparta with a feeling of accomplishment, knowing that I've done something good for both my body and mind. I'm really looking forward to making further gains and meeting my goals - and setting new ones! - as I continue to work with Mike. Highly recommend!

Mike has made our workouts fun while still helping me reach my goals as a track and field athlete. Pushing myself while focusing on keeping me healthy and ready for my upcoming meets. He has taught me so much about how to properly warm up and get ready for my competitions so I am truly ready to perform my absolute best week in and week out. He helps me set and reach goals and strives for me to be the best I possibly can, wouldn’t want to go to anyone else. Definitely recommend for athletes and anyone else looking to get in better shape!Update: Since leaving my initial review Mike and I worked out until I eventually transferred from an NAIA school to a D1 school for track. With his help, support, and the amazing workouts he showed me. I have been able to accomplish so much more as an athlete than I ever would have imagined.Thank you Mike!

Mike is great! He was working with me on strength and mobility and in a couple of months I’m much more flexible and feel less stiff and sore. The TRX setup helps facilitate lots of great movements.

I have been going to Mike at Sparta for a few months now and can honestly say it is the most intentional, effective workout I have had! I have been doing one-on-one boxing training, while also focusing on mobility. Mike is VERY knowledgeable, gives me stretches to do at home to heal up weak parts of my body, and always brings encouragement to my workout. Truly can not say enough good things. If you are considering starting any type of workout (group classes, personalized training, ANYTHING) this is your place. I always look forward to my workouts each week!

Mike has helped both my daughters with strength training & stretching to help them both with each of their sports. We are having less pain when we’ve had a long weekend of tournaments. His flexible with his schedule to allow us to move our times around due to conflicting schedules.

Looking for a coach/trainer? I found Mike Uerling at Sparta Fitness & Training. Lincoln is privileged to have someone so completely trained and experienced. Mike met my needs with what I needed, often adjusting, adding, and pushing for what worked for me! I highly recommend Mike. We went after results, and got them!
