Mike Robertson

Mike Robertson is the President of Robertson Training Systems, co-owner of Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training, and performance coach for the Indy Eleven professional soccer team. As of 2014, he’s officially been in the fitness industry for 14 years. In that time, he’s done and seen a little bit of everything. From 2000-2002 he was an assistant/volunteer strength and conditioning coach at Ball State University.

During that same time, he completed his Masters Degree in Sports Biomechanics. Mike spent the next three years in Ft. Wayne, Indiana, where he headed up the Athletic Performance Center. This is where Mike was really introduced to the assessment process, physical therapy, rehabilitation, and corrective exercise as a whole. This definitely was not his comfort zone at the time, but he learned a ton there and this helped really broaden his scope as a trainer and coach.

In 2005, Mike teamed up with Mike Dodd to form Custom Fitness, a high-end, in-home personal training company. There, he got a firm appreciation for what it was like to work in a truly one-on-one setting, often with adults in their 40′s and 50′s. Then in 2008, Mike and Bill Hartman decided it was time to team up and open their facility, Indianapolis Fitness and Sports Training (IFAST).

Mike has trained everyone from weekend warrior to professional and Olympic caliber athletes, and IFAST has been named one of the Top 10 Gyms in America by Men’s Health magazine twice.
