Mike doubles up as a personal trainer and a motivational speaker. You get something from every single one of his videos whether it be knowledge or motivation. Absolute hero
Lot of people my age (21) are clueless as fuck and need someone like you to give a bit of guidance. They don't teach these things in uni or school. Big thanks Mike
Just gotta say, hats off mate. But anyway , just wanna take this opportunity to tell you that you’re a cool dude, you’ve helped me a lot on my training and you push me to do better in life. Cheers to you Mike, keep pushing hard. The fitness industry needs more people like you.😁👍🏻💯
Very happy for you and anyone else as well who has gone or still going through hardships in life. Whenever a door closes on you, there are many others getting opened at the same time. However, it's you who has to still walk to the doors to enter your new destiny!
This video is FULL FULL FULL of top quality advice. I'm 56 years old, and I'll be honest and open and say that for the last 15 years, maybe longer, I've been 'stuck', bumping along. I'm now, coming to a new chapter, working more in London and loving the vibe as you say. It's where I'm from, but not visited in many years. I'm waking up. Hopefully I'll have many more years to put 'right' the 'inactivity' that's been there for 15 years. Don't get me wrong, I have done a lot in that 15 years, but it's not gotten me very far. I, like you, like EVERYONE watching and listening to this video can do/be the same. We can be our BIGGEST selves, if we DARE to try. This video is PRICELESS. Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing your decisions and decision making processes.
In similar situation at the moment, just finished Uni, not quite enjoying my current job, but got so much love for training/sports/fitness and wanted to get a career out of it. Just wanted to say thank you for the wisdom, you have no idea how relatable this is for me and some people who are watching this!
hey man, I am just nobody but I would tell you...just do it, I made that mistake when I was a kid and I knew sport and fitness was what I really love doing and I didn't, I should have followed my gut but I guess I was an insecure kid without not knowing what to do. So I would say educate yourself but follow your gut...I hope this "help" you in a sense...
You have a fab way of putting a point across that is relevant to not only the gym or fitness side but all areas of life. I’ve just left a 20 year career and am struggling with what to do next , my life is at that turning point where my health is getting back on track after a lot of bad years and many many surgeries but I’m ready to move on with my life and I want you to know I watch your videos regularly but this on has really made me think and put things into perspective. Thank you Mike!! Keep em coming I especially love your travel vlogs- I’m not into the gym but watched mat does fitness and saw you on his channel and like how you present your channel. I wish you all the best for your future both on TH-cam and other areas you’ve worked hard and deserve it! Ps loved the hair transplant video!
THIS is great message. Your timeline made me realize many things. You helped me put words and confirme many things that are marinating in my life. Didn’t know you chronology. Amazing. It’s really true that 2 things make you change in life : inspiration or despair. Wish you well for the next step bud !
Really enjoyed watching this episode. Im right now stuck at a job I've "mastered" and it's no longer a challenge, im just looking around for the next thing and need to have a change before my spirit gets effed up..
Great video, so true , feeling desperation can lead to life changing events, but you need to take massive ACTION and be out of your comfort zone!! I agree with ‘feeling comfortable’ stifles growth and restricts your personal growth.
I started lifting weights about 6 or 7 years ago and Mike your channel is the only channel I still watch regularly on TH-cam. This video shows me again that I don't regret it. Thanks Mike! You learned me a lot.
Im 18 and doing sport science in college, this video made me realise everything and want me to push myself to the limit, to be the best version of myself...your the best Mike, Thankyou!
I became a fan of Mike about a year ago, mostly just stumbled across his channel by accident. But the more I watch, the more I have to say I have nothing but respect for how open & honest this guy is about everything. Handsome as hell, super down to earth, humble, genuinely nice, and super open about so much of his life. Agreed. Realest fitness channels on youtube - I recommend to as many people as I can :)
Brilliant video - great content, great idea, so worth watching, oooh the future for Mr Thurston - NEW PROJECT?? :-) When you coming to PROMiXX HQ next? Is that in your near future - All the best team PROMiXX
Without a doubt, one of the best fitness channels out there. Mike gives great advice, is well-spoken and comes across as a nice, real and humble guy. Keep up the great work mate! Regards from Mallorca :)
"I always see the comfort and contentness is the enemy. When you get too comfortable and everything is easy, that's when you take a back foot." Love the positive messages you deliver on your TH-cam channel. They are not only about fitness but also about life lessons, which i believe is applicable to everyone. Just want to say: your dedication, professionalism and wisdom are amazing, thank you for helping a lot of people, myself included, stay motivated and get back on the right track. I'm an undergraduate student from South Korea. Even though it can be somewhat hard for me to get British accent, but I try my best to catch every informative message you give off. You've been to Thailand not long ago, why not Korea one day? lol
Needed to see this. Thank you. I'm a personal that's lost 50 percent of his business due to personal circumstances. As a result, I struggled financially in taking care of my family to which that has affected my marriage life. In the beginning I was so focused on building my business that I forgot what helped get me there. FOR me it was number one my relationship with God and two as you said in this video my passion, which is Personal Training. I ignored one relationship while improving the other. Financially things we're great until a number of events had taken place cutting my business by 50%. Fell into a deep depression, lost my family as my ex and now share custody of an amazing boy. During that time, I began to take self inventory of my life. And I realized that the passion is still there but I had to re-establish my walk with God. This is little long winded but I believe that nothing happens by chance but they happen by fate. Your video gives me even more encouragement to Reclaiming what was a thriving business for me financially. But most importantly, God sends people in your life through different avenues to encourage and to also let you know that you're on the right path. Thanks again and blessings. Just subscribed!!!!
Thanks for sharing! I opened my first gym and it took me 3 years to get out of a toxic partnership, i've been running my own place for a couple more years now and like you said, when you feel like you have nothing to lose, you make bold moves that can get you out of a negative situation.
What a Seriously Inspiring video ... loving the content your story about your journey! currently went through a patch myself 2010 I decided to set ups my own studio (Alone) that lasted 1yer. 6 mths .. long story short Relationship issues lack of support spent £££. lost £££. did home training with my client base then that fazed out went into security and youth support field that lasted until end of 2018 people around me that mattered pushing me to start up my passion again instead of wasting my years and credentials MY PASSION now I'm 23 months into my new Journey new small studio LE Fitness Xtra now I hit the hurdle conv -19 crisis ... Mike I watch all your blogs and yeah have always loved the content you've helped motivate me when you set up your gym tips and advice.. Keep up the passion bro GUARANTEED I subscribed years ago on all platforms Respect brother👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾👍🏾💪🏾💪🏾
You're a massive inspiration and not only a fitness coach but also an amazing life coach. Love your sense of humour and how down to earth you are. Keep strong and never forget the number of people you're helping here 💪
Mike you have no idea how synchronized my and your brain is.. You always literally drop a video about a subject or situation i am dealing at a moment. I am so glad I have found your channel. You are the jewel, there are many fitness channels but there are not many people with the mentality that you have. To meet you in person, have a small talk, take a picture and shake hands is on my before-i-die list fam.
Brilliant video Mike, been following you since beginning of febuary 17 you had about 55 tho subscribers then. keep up the good work.You have been a real inspiration for me, peace from Hamburg ,Germany............
That timeline, drawn with a flat line, doesn't reflect the ups and (what seems to be some very deep) downs. Massive respect for keeping it real and keeping your feet on the ground.
I doubt you'll even see this comment as this video is old. But I've just enrolled to get my level 2 and 3 and this video has really struck a cord. I'm 35. And have spun my wheels and taken some terrible risks career wise. So this place you were at when you recorded this is where I'm at now. Just want to thank you for the content. Always come across genuine and a great teacher. Oh and watching videos of you in dubai whilst we're in lockdown is incredibly hard haha
From the video that i just watched. I learned you are a HUMBLE guy, AMBITIOUS, and very CONTENT of your progress. I must add these qualities as you watch the video bring a thinking cloud of where one wants to be in the next 5 years. So this video is not just about fitness but life itself. Key words to my fellow people. SLOW DOWN, CALM DOWN, DON'T WORRY, HAVE FAITH, TRUST THE PROCESS. Great upload @Mike Thurtson.
Mike first let me say I found this video really inspirational. I myself am in the same predicament as you once were. I am a newly qualified graduate from university and I am finding it hard to find a job that I really want to do. This video has really made me think what life I want and how can I achieve my goals. I am really motivated now to push myself. Thanks Mike, much love. Always keeping it real 💯 defo my favourite TH-camr now
5:22 is where I'm at now. In a job I'm beginning to hate purely to secure the money, to fund an expensive course that will give me the accreditation to train others in my passion. Every day I go to work thinking 'Remember, I'm doing this for a reason, more money saved = the better'. Requires a lot of sacrifice, materially and mentally.
Jeez how real is this!!! One of if not "the" best video I've ever seen on you tube.... resonates so close to my journey and (mental & physical) battles. Yay I'm not alone in my thinking!
Dude! You're the best. Been following your videos for a year now, and it just makes me so happy the progress that you are making. You will surely go a long way and keep on growing! Great job!
I was with Lewis's brother last week, such a great family and humbling tale of how they both got where they are. You're story Mike is great too, well done on your success and the best of luck for the future. Robert.
I moved from a long term job of 15 years to follow my passion to a job within the fitness industry, i'm doing my level 2 this month and hopefully depending on finance do my level 3 at a later stage I've worked out for years natural no enhancers and hope by this time next year I'm a qualified gym instructor.
Thank you for your honesty. I've just graduated and I feel exactly what you said and I've been thinking what the hell am I gonna do now? It's crazy and I hope I can do as well as you did. You're really really motivating and honest which gives me hope for a better future.
Mike my guy you inspire me man! Literally I’m in the same situation as you where bro, i have been grafting at a clothing store for the past year to pay for life shit, but all I want to do is PT. I’m going to apply for the course, get out of my shit hole town and take the risk. Your Chanel is real as shit man, you just showed me it can be done!
I'm just starting my career, i've just finished doing my film degree at uni and now i'm starting doing some "voluntary" filming work for some charity just to give my self some exposure and experience which is SO important when looking for media jobs. whilst at uni I created a few cinematic videos of car meets/events and put them on my channel but now i think its time I move into some real productions but its so difficult finding clients.
Mike Im myself taking a PT course here in Portugal. I was complety Lost in life after dropping out of college. I was sitting at home when i saw a video about your carreer to the Point you are now on. The very Next day i signed up for the course. Im finishing it in a few months. This may not mean much to you but i want you to know you really have changed my life. I aspire to become a Better version of me everyday. And it if weren't for you and your attitude i would still be a waiter in Oporto. Thank you so much,man. I hope someday i can thank you in person whenever you come to Portugal, as you do sometimes. I'm Forever thankful mate i really am.
Just found your video.excellent .it's nice to see that there are still some real people out there .hope you stay successful and keep those great videos going. Really good advice.
Cheers for this Mike. I left uni in 2012 with a degree in advertising and commercial film production. Despite small success, I regret my degree and I’m stuck in a job I no longer enjoy within the video industry. Your channel helped me through tough times and this videos inspired me to push on out of a comfort bubble. I’ll be taking my PT course soon and maybe doing a masters in marketing.
@@MikeThurston I do, but I am still at the point where I am not exactly sure what to do in the future, however seems like not many people do know for 100% what and how they want to end up with.
Mike I really appreciate every single video you make, the information you give to your audience is genuine and that could help a lot of people all around the world.
Can't believe it's been over 2 years since you moved. I remember first starting watching your videos since back then when you first moved to london and have seen you grow ever since. Well done Mike.
Great video Mike, I've been watching you for about 2 years now and feel I can relate to a lot of the stuff you mentioned in this video. I'm still unsure of what my next big step is but after watching this video all I want to do is get after it. Thanks a lot :)
your lifestyle now is all well deserved rewards from the hard work you've put in Mike , thanks for all the advice you upload on here dude , it's been so helpful with my training 💪
This is too true for me, and really is a wake up call. I am 19 and have been stuck in an endless routine making tiny bits of progress along the way but nothing significant for too long now. About a year and a half since I've graduated high school and I have just been stuck in my repetitive job every weekday and not working on my goals in life as hard as I should be, and I still live with my mom. I am not happy where I am now, but I am comfortable. I feel like I need to move out and get my own place so I am forced to work hard on my goals and make things happen in my life and not get too comfortable. The cost is what has been keeping me from doing it but maybe it's exactly the push I need. Thanks so much Mike. Wish I had a friend like you irl lol.
5:10 Listen to this advice. This is 100% the key to accomplishing anything in life. Certain times in your life you have to put in 100% sacrifice and suffer whether that be for 1 month, 1 year, or several years. And let's be honest, alot of people are too afraid to do that.
What I really don't like about this guy is, that he has substance and experience about what he's talking about. And he share's it with us viewers, and he's not a asshole. Damn, I feel envy mixed with admiration. He has worked hard and is a good example of not being comformist, and always trying to find a way. He has the looks, but he has worked his ass off. Gotta update my life.
I wish I could say something you haven't heard. I cannot. HUGE Appreciation for the real you. Every video of yours I've seen is absolute authenticity. I think Very Few can say that. Looking forward to more of your work.
I totally agree with you that you have to sacrifice a lot when you want to make the leap. I'm currently doing part time graduate school because I want to switch my industry.
Thanks Mike, I dip in and out of your videos but always find them interesting and inspiring. Totally agree regarding progress during a desperation stage of life. It’s amazing how far we come out of our box when it’s do or die.
This is one of the realest fitness channels across youtube
Facts
instablaster...
Mike doubles up as a personal trainer and a motivational speaker. You get something from every single one of his videos whether it be knowledge or motivation. Absolute hero
10:20 So so true, you have to remind yourself when you're too comfortable
Lot of people my age (21) are clueless as fuck and need someone like you to give a bit of guidance. They don't teach these things in uni or school. Big thanks Mike
Just gotta say, hats off mate.
But anyway , just wanna take this opportunity to tell you that you’re a cool dude, you’ve helped me a lot on my training and you push me to do better in life. Cheers to you Mike, keep pushing hard. The fitness industry needs more people like you.😁👍🏻💯
I'm literally in the limbo of taking a leap of faith for my dream and leaving the job I can't stand. Thank you for the video, needed it.
Chelsea Scott same its like the universe is telling me something
Kindly update on your situation. how has the life worked out for you? Have you chased your dream ?
Likewise
0nly live once
How's it going now
Good shit Mike, sometimes that mental physique matters Most
"Some of the greatest leaps in - terms of progress- are going to come from times of desperation"
Mike Thurston
“Some of your biggest leaps in your career come from times of desperation”. So true for anyone in any industry.
Very happy for you and anyone else as well who has gone or still going through hardships in life. Whenever a door closes on you, there are many others getting opened at the same time. However, it's you who has to still walk to the doors to enter your new destiny!
Can tell you’re a genuine bloke, appreciated.
This video is FULL FULL FULL of top quality advice. I'm 56 years old, and I'll be honest and open and say that for the last 15 years, maybe longer, I've been 'stuck', bumping along. I'm now, coming to a new chapter, working more in London and loving the vibe as you say. It's where I'm from, but not visited in many years. I'm waking up. Hopefully I'll have many more years to put 'right' the 'inactivity' that's been there for 15 years. Don't get me wrong, I have done a lot in that 15 years, but it's not gotten me very far. I, like you, like EVERYONE watching and listening to this video can do/be the same. We can be our BIGGEST selves, if we DARE to try. This video is PRICELESS. Thank you for your wisdom and for sharing your decisions and decision making processes.
This is by far the best fitness and life coaching channel on TH-cam. That last 2 minutes really hit home for me.. thank you 🙏🏼
You forgot to mention the point in your career when you took pictures with a horse in your boxers
Awkward lol
The horse was wearing his boxers?!
@@paulbarton957 no, he was wearing the boxers but leaning against the horse
Hay Horses have youtube idols too ya know...
Hahaha..he is the best

I’ve just left a 20 year career and am struggling with what to do next , my life is at that turning point where my health is getting back on track after a lot of bad years and many many surgeries but I’m ready to move on with my life and I want you to know I watch your videos regularly but this on has really made me think and put things into perspective.

Lewis Hamilton? That’s sick
i am SO jealous i fuckin love F1
My only claim to fame is that i blew a guy who said he flat shared with the stig from top gear . Its not much but its what happened
Was Hamilton sound tho? He always looks up himself

just graduated uni and been working in a job I hate for the past 6 months, my god this was EXACTLY what i needed. thank you Mike!

Mike Thurston is the best fitness youtuber. He always progresses
Ya very likeable and positive
Really admire your videos, openness and transparency,. Thank you
This man is gonna bella high in life, lifting Positive other people mentality.
Just wanted to say thank you 🙏
Dude! You're the best. Been following your videos for a year now, and it just makes me so happy the progress that you are making. You will surely go a long way and keep on growing! Great job!
Honestly love the content you make! Just making the switch now to my dream career and so cool to hear about your path to success!
I was with Lewis's brother last week, such a great family and humbling tale of how they both got where they are. You're story Mike is great too, well done on your success and the best of luck for the future. Robert.

Always love seeing you sharing, Michael.
Thank you for your honesty. I've just graduated and I feel exactly what you said and I've been thinking what the hell am I gonna do now? It's crazy and I hope I can do as well as you did. You're really really motivating and honest which gives me hope for a better future.
Such a great video dude. All the best to you im a fan!
Content is sick. No beating round the bush. This channel is motivating for life as well as the gym. Top quality stuff, Mike I’m waiting on a book.
Mike my guy you inspire me man!
Literally I’m in the same situation as you where bro, i have been grafting at a clothing store for the past year to pay for life shit, but all I want to do is PT.
I’m going to apply for the course, get out of my shit hole town and take the risk. Your Chanel is real as shit man, you just showed me it can be done!
I'm just starting my career, i've just finished doing my film degree at uni and now i'm starting doing some "voluntary" filming work for some charity just to give my self some exposure and experience which is SO important when looking for media jobs. whilst at uni I created a few cinematic videos of car meets/events and put them on my channel but now i think its time I move into some real productions but its so difficult finding clients.
Mike Im myself taking a PT course here in Portugal. I was complety Lost in life after dropping out of college. I was sitting at home when i saw a video about your carreer to the Point you are now on. The very Next day i signed up for the course. Im finishing it in a few months. This may not mean much to you but i want you to know you really have changed my life. I aspire to become a Better version of me everyday. And it if weren't for you and your attitude i would still be a waiter in Oporto. Thank you so much,man. I hope someday i can thank you in person whenever you come to Portugal, as you do sometimes. I'm Forever thankful mate i really am.
Just found your video.excellent .it's nice to see that there are still some real people out there .hope you stay successful and keep those great videos going. Really good advice.
Good job mate. Very real and motivating
Cheers for this Mike. I left uni in 2012 with a degree in advertising and commercial film production. Despite small success, I regret my degree and I’m stuck in a job I no longer enjoy within the video industry. Your channel helped me through tough times and this videos inspired me to push on out of a comfort bubble. I’ll be taking my PT course soon and maybe doing a masters in marketing.
Surprisingly I share the same degree. That sounds really really mature, Mike. Thanks for the story and wish your career best!
Are you enjoying it?
@@MikeThurston I do, but I am still at the point where I am not exactly sure what to do in the future, however seems like not many people do know for 100% what and how they want to end up with.
Mike I really appreciate every single video you make, the information you give to your audience is genuine and that could help a lot of people all around the world.
Amazing video and advise. Keep up the great work Mike
Can't believe it's been over 2 years since you moved. I remember first starting watching your videos since back then when you first moved to london and have seen you grow ever since.
Well done Mike.
Inspiring story! Thanks for sharing Mike
Great video Mike, I've been watching you for about 2 years now and feel I can relate to a lot of the stuff you mentioned in this video. I'm still unsure of what my next big step is but after watching this video all I want to do is get after it. Thanks a lot :)
Mike Thurston - From selling skinny jeans to flexing his chesticles all over social media. 💪🏻😜
One of the best in the fitness industry, truly eye opening
your lifestyle now is all well deserved rewards from the hard work you've put in Mike ,
thanks for all the advice you upload on here dude , it's been so helpful with my training 💪
Absolute legend, awesome personality and overall honest , down to earth guy, you deserve your success!
I love this stuff. Dude, you inspire with so much more than just workout tips. Thank you!
mike you are the guy!
Respect! Thanks a lot for the very motivating words!
This is too true for me, and really is a wake up call. I am 19 and have been stuck in an endless routine making tiny bits of progress along the way but nothing significant for too long now. About a year and a half since I've graduated high school and I have just been stuck in my repetitive job every weekday and not working on my goals in life as hard as I should be, and I still live with my mom. I am not happy where I am now, but I am comfortable. I feel like I need to move out and get my own place so I am forced to work hard on my goals and make things happen in my life and not get too comfortable. The cost is what has been keeping me from doing it but maybe it's exactly the push I need. Thanks so much Mike. Wish I had a friend like you irl lol.
Move out and get your own place Brandon, it'll be the best thing you do. (still make time to visit your mom though!).
Love your positivity and dedication Mike.
Onwards and upwards 👍
Anyone else really needed this from this man. Only person I listen to and trust 100% what advice he gives!
Very inspirational mike
I could watch your videos for the life lessons and motivational stuff alone, the gym and training stuff is just the icing on the cake.
5:10 Listen to this advice. This is 100% the key to accomplishing anything in life. Certain times in your life you have to put in 100% sacrifice and suffer whether that be for 1 month, 1 year, or several years. And let's be honest, alot of people are too afraid to do that.
A real help! Thank you so much on sharing this, I love that "comfort is the real enemy".
great video don't let life get stagnant, but enjoy the journey of life and at the end of it all you only really get one shot so go do what you love!
What I really don't like about this guy is, that he has substance and experience about what he's talking about. And he share's it with us viewers, and he's not a asshole. Damn, I feel envy mixed with admiration. He has worked hard and is a good example of not being comformist, and always trying to find a way. He has the looks, but he has worked his ass off. Gotta update my life.
wow, motivation comes from this video! Great Mike, so glade that you did what you did to take your life to the next levels.
I wish I could say something you haven't heard. I cannot. HUGE Appreciation for the real you. Every video of yours I've seen is absolute authenticity. I think Very Few can say that.
Looking forward to more of your work.
Amazing story and inspiration video
I totally agree with you that you have to sacrifice a lot when you want to make the leap. I'm currently doing part time graduate school because I want to switch my industry.
Thats motivating! Thanks for sharing
Congrats mate, you are one of the few fitness channels that isn’t full of bullshit. Keep it up!
This guy deserves everything he earns! Real stuff!
Thanks Mike, I dip in and out of your videos but always find them interesting and inspiring. Totally agree regarding progress during a desperation stage of life. It’s amazing how far we come out of our box when it’s do or die.
