Michael Slotin Fitness Therapy Studio

Fantastic experience: Excellent therapist.

Fantastic experience: As a healthcare practitioner I do a lot with my hands and also spend a significant time charting, so when I recently strained my neck all of chronic inflammation and muscle tension I have built up in my shoulders and neck flared up to the point where I could not turn my neck! Thankfully I knew who to call and was able to get in with Michael the same day. The next day my neck felt so much better and I was finally able to turn it without having pain.

Fantastic experience: I cannot say enough good things about Michaels Slotin and his practice. I originally came to Michael because I was concerned about my running stride efficiency (I was a heel striker and unsure of how to proceed). Michael evaluated my gait while running barefoot on a treadmill and suggested a postural assessment. Sure enough, underlying muscular imbalances were contributing to my irregular running technique and chronic neck pain. It was nothing short of fascinating - I had no idea how my body had contorted itself over the years due to hours of sitting (one leg stronger, one arm stronger, hips tilted, shoulders uneven, etc.) Michael helped me see and understand what my body was doing and how to correct it, giving me strengthening exercises to perform at home. These helped my running but I was still having some intermittent neck pain. Well, I quickly learned that Michael's best skill is his massage. His knowledge of anatomy and physiology is unparalleled and his ability to find and release muscular knots and break up fascia is nothing short of extraordinary. After one massage my neck pain went away for weeks. It eventually came back because those muscles were stronger than my consistency in performing the realignment exercises at home (D’oh!). However, after the second massage my neck pain went away for months. I’m still shocked and believe this was a direct result of the strengthening exercises and his ability to correctly identify the source of the constraint and facilitate the muscular release. Of note, this was not a typical relaxing massage but a targeted and therapeutic massage. Due to my scar tissue there were moments of discomfort however, it was eye-opening to discover how my body carried evidence of prior damage that I failed to appreciate. I was blown away. I haven’t kept up with the massage but I have kept up the strengthening exercises and my pain is 95% better and much more manageable now. I know how to take care of myself at home. Thank you, Michael!

Fantastic experience: My friend recommended Mike Slotin to me. She thought he could help with my back problems which were keeping me form doing even regular things like walking. She was right. His massage and fitness therapies have made a big difference, I am no longer in chronic pain; my back is stronger; I move better and my body is in better balance. I highly recommend him. The studio is top notch and the staff is totally professional.

Fantastic experience: one of the best classes I have participated in. It was quick, effective, pain free and so informative. Michael knows so much about your body and makes it easy to understand what you can do to be pain free!

Fantastic experience: As an active senior "snowbird" looking for a place to do strength training and improve posture, I hit the jackpot when I found this studio! Every session is personal training that pushes the individual to reach their maximum effort. This is not the boring "3 sets of 12 reps". Every session consists of several exercises, each designed to reach fatigue in a very short period of time. I found this method sustains my interest and is more productive than other training methods. Christine and Michael are knowledgable and encouraging as well as very personable . Christine also introduced me to Gyrotonics which has been truly amazing! In a short time (2 months), I have seen a great improvement in my strength as well as a greater awareness of my physical self (posture, breathing, balance). I can't say enough!

Fantastic experience: I have been coming to Michael for a little over 2 years and i was in bad shape the first time i saw him. The knowledge that he as when it comes to massage and anatomy is like no other. He has taught me how the body works and has gotten me out of pain thru massage therapy. I am so grateful for his caring nature and his ability to help those in chronic pain. I have just started a new program with him on posture assessment and feel strongly that this will be the answer to becoming Pain Free!!!

Fantastic experience: Michael is very knowledgeable. I came here with back and hip pain. He has definitely helped me. If you want to feel better then this is the place to come.

Fantastic experience: A month ago I was unable to move. I had the Nuss Procedure done about 18 months ago and have been in debilitating pain since. He not only got me out of pain but I’m now building muscle. He is a god send without a doubt. Him and his wife are very positive, nice and intelligent people. I can’t express enough how great full I am for them.

Fantastic experience: I am a 76 year old woman whose had bilateral hip replacements. Before I started fitness therapy and therapeutic massage with Michael Slotin I had to lift my leg with my hand to get into my car and I couldn't get off the floor without pulling myself up holding on to the furniture. Now I swing my leg into my car without even thinking about it and I can get up off the floor under my own power. I rate Michael Slotin Fitness Therapy five stars but he deserves 10 stars for the improvement he's facilitated in my life. He's a true professional in every way. I will work with him for as long as I'm able. I encourage anyone who is suffering pain or just wants to improve their fitness level, give him a try. You won't be sorry.

Fantastic experience: Michael Slotin gives the best massage on the planet! I have had chronic knee pain since a snow skiing accident when I broke my leg a few years ago and that pain is gone along with all my daily aches and pains . I go in weekly now because I feel so much better ! I also love his exercise and weight class ! Quick and to the point ! Michael Slotin has a plethora of medical knowledge and has helped me in every area of fitness and diet . I can’t recommend him enough !

Fantastic experience: Vary nice equipment Michael work's wonders with his hands

Fantastic experience: Michael Slotin is my go to pain reliever. In my first session he got rid of my vertigo, mid back trigger points and shoulder pain. In second session he got rid of my hip and knee pain. I will not go to any other massage therapist. He works miracles.

Fantastic experience: Michael Slotin is my pain reliever. I have had a lifetime of chronic neck & back issues and tried over 12 different massage therapists in the area. I have been coming to Michael for 7 years & it has made a world of difference in my life! Michael’s best quality is that he truly cares! He really listens & finds the cause of the pain. He offers many different types of massage, including cupping. He also suggests stretches I can do at home. I am SO glad I found him!

Fantastic experience: After struggling 4 months with whiplash and general old age stiffness I started training with Michael. First 2 days a week and then moved to 3 days. Michael pays attention to my abilities so I don't get hurt. When noticing I was having problems with my neck he did massage therapy and had me do the right exercises to relieve the discomfort. So if you would like a custom workout from a knowledgeable instructor based on your what your body needs, check out Michael Slotin Fitness Therapy Studio. Wish I found them sooner.

Fantastic experience: It's always a great start to my day.

Fantastic experience: I recently moved to Cocoa Beach from California....with a lower back in such horrible condition I needed to be lifted out of bed with a spatula.... yes that's an exaggeration but in sincerity, I suffered with considerable pain from lower lumbar disc degeneration. Nobody is more surprised than me when I say that my lower back has improved from 25-35% capability to 90% strength / capability as a direct result of Michael's training and fitness class. Thanks Michael!

Fantastic experience: I heard through my sister that Michael was a good masseuse. I scheduled an appointment and what he did to me was far better than any massage I have ever gotten. Michael does structural integration and I walked out after that first session feeling longer and less tight and the next morning I woke up pain free from my TMJ for the first time in 30 years. During my first visit I met Michael's beautiful wife as well as his fitness instructor Lynn. Calling her a fitness instructor is like calling him a masseuse. I have been active my whole life and am always reading about new fitness techniques but could never find them anywhere to try it. When Lynn told me they specialize in HIIT, I signed up that day, and went consistently every day after because it is a workout that is concise and effective and way too hard to find! I looked and felt so much better after only a week and a half. Going out of town for Christmas interrupted the schedule, but I am looking forward to getting back into it. I know I can change my body and my metabolism in only one hour and for the very fair price that is charged, it is hard for me not to be excited. The TRX that is also utilized after the treadmill workout is amazing as well. I can't write anymore because it's making me too excited to work out again and I have to wait 3 days! I am also doing the 28 day fat loss challenge they are offering. It is a great feeling to know that all I have to do is show up and work hard and do what is asked and know that good results will happen. I have lived in the northeast and fitness/wellness centers like this exist and cost 709-900 a month. What a great find this has been for me in Cocoa Beach. Thank you Michael and Lynn! Excited to see you both in 2017!

Fantastic experience: The 28 day challenge at Michael Slotin fitness was awesome!! I have tried numerous diets and fad supplements to lose weight and nothing worked. Michael really knows his stuff. His level of dietary knowledge and training is far superior to any personal trainer I have ever had. I would highly recommend the 28 day challenge to anyone struggling to lose weight.

Fantastic experience: Fitness Therapy is more than a gym. Michael Slotin and the other staff provide outstanding guidance and support in every way. I recently participated in the "28 Day Transformation" and lost 22 pounds and many inches! Michael and Christina provided nutrition information and cooking instructions, to help us learn how to shop, prepare and enjoy healthy, yet delicious dishes. Along with the fitness and yoga classes I have regained my health and vitality. If you are looking to change yourself for the better, you really must check out Fitness Therapy for yourself!

Fantastic experience: I went for a beach run with Michael this morning. He was very patient, kind, and knowledgeable. He gave me great instruction on proper running technique, and I ran longer than I've ever been able to run before. We followed up with some very good stretches before their studio filled up with happy students. Very fun experience and nice people!

Fantastic experience: I was referred by my aunt, and I'm super happy I went. I'm 28 years old and I've been having back problems for about 6 years. I've tried many different options to alleviate the pain, some worked better than others, but nothing seemed to help for long enough. At my first appointment, I couldn't even bend over to touch the ground because I was in so much pain. After my session, I was able to go home and pick up my two year old daughter without any pain. Wish I had gone sooner!

Fantastic experience: While I am awaiting my right hip replacement in early July I have been going to Mike Slotin since early February 2 times a week. Mike is the best!! He has kept me mobile and virtually pain free. He has impressed upon me the importance of a healthy diet and taking natural supplements in order to keep me mobile and pain free.

Fantastic experience: Mike is the Best ! He saved my vacation Came from Denmark with lower back pain and he skillfully unlocked my back. Thanks Mike. Easy access. Fair price. Really professional.

Fantastic experience: I was lucky to be the first member to join Michael Slotin's Fitness Therapy. While I was excited to start working out in this beautiful space; I had no idea how these workouts would change my life. I am being challenged like never before. The variety of workouts matched with the small group class sizes gives me the one on one instruction I've never had before. The teachers are extremely knowledgeable and passionate about our health and fitness. I have also made so many wonderful friends at the studio. I can't imagine working out anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: This place is just what I was looking for. I needed a fitness studio, NOT A GYM, while I was visiting Cape Canaveral on vacation. I'm so happy i checked this place out! I took the Cross Tread class my first day of vacation, and signed up for a 5 class pass that same day. Lynn, the coach, is great...and because the classes are small in size she knows everyones names, injuries, and concerns. The class covers cardio and strength training. I was very impressed and will be back every time I'm in Cape Cananveral (several times a year).

Fantastic experience: Michael is the best! The most effective, efficient, and intuitive trainer and massage therapist I've ever had. My body was a tangled mess of heel spurs, knee pain, bursitis, tendinitis, and midlife weight gain, and in a few short months he turned me around. I'm pain free and so much stronger, lighter, and happier. This is the best fitness level I've had in over a decade and coming to MS Fitness Therapy was the best decision I've made all year. I can't wait to take classes in the new studio.

Fantastic experience: The classes are the best around!!! Very knowledgeable instructors and trainers.
