Submitted by artds on

I hope this isn't considered spam, as I have no affiliation with Mike Barwis or his company, but I saw this Groupon deal pop up on my phone today that I thought might be relevant to the interests of board members and decided to pass it along...

Barwis Methods

Anyone who’s followed the fate of the pigskin on a crisp autumn Saturday is familiar with Mike Barwis’s work, whether they realize it or not. As the former Director of Strength and Conditioning at the University of Michigan and West Virginia University, Barwis spent years forging iron-like athletes including playmakers such as Steve Slaton, Pat White, and Brandon Minor. Now, he splits his time, consulting for the New York Mets and overseeing operations at Barwis Methods, where he and his staff promote fitness through boot-camp classes, strength-training programs, and personal-training sessions. When bolstering the fitness of everyday exercisers, Barwis’s personal trainers draw upon their own experience with the nation’s athletic elite; between them, they have trained numerous collegiate all-Americans, Olympians, and professional athletes, including more than 225 NFL players and four Puppy Bowl participants.

Wanted to go train there... I travel to Romulus quite a bit to visit my mother and I had thought on more than one occasion to call them up and see if they could work with me (32yo with a hip replacement and have a lots of restrictions on what I cannot do) but right now money isn't allowing for anything like that... :(

Did you read about what diet he put the former UofM players on while training for the combine? It was like 3 lbs. of chicken breast and a gallon of plain greek yogurt. Per hour.
