Our Story

NO BULL Strength and Performance is the only facility in MidMichigan area committed to Evidence Based strength training in a private controlled setting personalized to the individual.

Come see and experience the difference of the most effective training session of MidMichigan.

At NO BULL Strength and Performance, we are a STRICTLY one-on-one personal training facility, which means you are guided through EVERY aspect of EVERY training session; however, under that umbrella, we offer many different services. The basis of our program is full-body High Intensity Training, which ensures maximum stimulation of all major musculatures of the body in a minimum amount of time.

Intensity-based exercise is about finding the right amount of exercise the body needs to create positive adaptation (muscle growth, fat loss, strengthening of joints, etc.) It is not about doing countless sets of the same exercise or just moving through an exercise without purpose. In our programs, we make sure you are getting the most out of each set and each rep.

NO BULL Strength & Performance opened in 2010 knowing that most people do not lift consistently for one or more reasons:

Inexperience
Intimidation
Injury Limitations
Fear of Injury
Available time
Lack of results with previous programs

NO BULL’s strength programs solve all of this. Whether a novice or an experienced lifter, we can get you STRONGER in less time than you ever imagined. Our equipment is bio-mechanically correct and satisfy your needs for full-range exercise.

We're the only facility outside of professional sporting teams and universities in the state that offers the entire line of Pendulum Strength equipment along with hand picked pieces of Hammer Strength, Nautilus, MedX Avenger, and other pieces to keep you challenged.

We're the first in the state to offer the DynavecMD Gluteator and the only Dynavec Plantaris ankle system.

Having been trained personally by Erik McKay, I believe in his ability to properly train athletes. Erik not only has the experience, but is also safe and effective when it comes to training athletes.

First and foremost, the methods by which Erik conducts his business and reputation are one hundred percent structured around safety of the athlete.

Being an Offensive Lineman for the New Orleans Saints, my job beats me up on a regular basis. It’s an absolute sigh of relief to know that when I come home to train during the off season, I am not going to get hurt or put my career in jeopardy. I firmly believe that this would be beneficial for young athletes as well, who often have the attention spans of gnats, and require a trainer who will actively keep them safe with proper form and execution of exercises. As a professional athlete I one hundred percent put my stamp on and endorse Erik McKay.

For years I wanted to try free running, but I had injuries and my broken neck made me think it wasn't going to happen. Yesterday, I did deadlifts! I couldn't even consider it without your head and neck training. Thank you for helping me dream again!

I have tried everything in the book to lose weight, and got some results, but none lasted. Something about working out with Erik clicked...I'm down three pant sizes and my "K-Mart arms" are starting to take shape. Erik is encouraging and will give you that push when you need it!

Erik helped me get back the strength, mobility, and flexibility I had lost over two years of chronic, severe back pain. In my time with him, I have seen him combins his knowledge, compassion and confidence to help others as he has helped me.
