MICHAEL
BANN

Michael has been a strength and conditioning coach for over 15 years and with OPEX for over 7 of those years. He holds a master’s degree in kinesiology where he concentrated primarily on human performance and the various factors that influence an athlete’s adaptability. His research led him down the naturopathic and functional medicine rabbit holes and how they apply to fitness. Michael possesses high levels of mastery in program design, nutrition prescription, and how to apply functional medicine principles toward fitness prescription.

Outside of his graduate-level education, Michael created an educational seminar in which he has traveled the globe lecturing other professionals from PhDs, MDs, DCs, DPTs, and fellow coaches on how he approaches the art of coaching. He has taken just about every professional development course that the fitness industry has to offer and is inspired to share his perspective with any coach willing to learn.

Michael is also an avid martial artist, a motorcycle enthusiast, and an expert at killing zombies on X-Box live.
