Michael Thurmond

The Michael Thurmond Body Makeover Program is a unique and highly successful system for scientifically resculpting and reprogramming the body. It precisely and predictably alters the person's shape, size, and body fat composition.

In the late `70's Michael started helping teens from low income, single parent homes in the Russian River Region of Northern California. Michael taught them basic nutrition, fitness, and life skills. By setting, and then achieving goals the teens learned an invaluable lesson: only I have the power to control my life. Because they learned to change their bodies, they learned to change their lives.

After receiving an ever increasing amount of publicity about his successes, Michael received many requests from local residents asking that he help them as well. Everyone from business leaders to housewives wanted Michael to show them how to reshape their bodies. Finally in 1980, he opened a gym facility and began his program in earnest. Local high schools and community college coaches brought him their athletic teams for finetuning.

While perfecting the Body Makeover concept, he continued achieving astonishing results with every client. In turn and with much pride, his Russian River clients and supporters encouraged him to move to the San Francisco Bay Area, where he could broaden his influence. In 1985, Michael's 6 Week Body Makeover opened for business in San Francisco it was an immediate success.

Michael Thurmond "I believe that when you're really good at something, people take notice," said Michael, after receiving an incredible amount of publicity. He made the front page of the San Francisco Chronicle as well as a supplement piece in the Sunday Examiner. He was a guest on many talk shows. Every one he touched was changed, and people were noticing!

Michael Learned, who was doing a play in San Francisco, heard about Michael and hired him to keep her in shape. She was not only yet another satisfied client, but she became a fast friend. She suggested that Michael relocate again; this time to Los Angeles. In 1989, Michael did just that.

Once again, word of mouth endorsements allowed the Body Makeover program to blossom and it soon became well established in the L.A. area. Since moving to Los Angeles, Michael has "made over" thousands of people from all walks of life, including numerous celebrities. Increased awareness of diet and exercise has given many clients the chance to regain control over their lives.

"There is no substitute for truth and commitment"..
M. Michael

Michael Thurmond Michael's compassion and understanding come from personal experience, "I know what I know because I had a painful childhood as a fat nerdy kid who ate for emotional fulfillment. I learned the power of changing myself through diet, cardiovascular exercise and weight training. Now I can translate that power for our clients and that is a very special opportunity and responsibility that I take very seriously."

Michael currently employs more than 100 trainers in over thirty locations throughout Southern California.
