Our guest is Mike Savitch, former Olympic bobsledder and current owner of The Conditioning Room, a gym in northern Virginia.
Growing up in the Virgin Islands, Mike's childhood was marked by his passion for surfing and baseball. Innately gifted as an athlete, Mike seemed destined for a professional sports career. However, during his time studying athletic training at Jacksonville University, a career-ending injury altered his path, leading him towards a new journey.
In 1995, Mike became a member of the Virgin Islands bobsled team. He dedicated himself to rigorous training for the 2002 Winter Olympic Games – an achievement that stands as one of his greatest to date.
With a career spanning over three decades, Mike brings a wealth of experience, specializing in areas ranging from biomechanics and injury recovery to Olympic lifting, sport-specific training, occupational therapy, and general fitness.
