Meet Michael Baah – The Trainer Behind the Stars
Michael Baah doesn’t just train athletes - he is one.
As a high-performance personal trainer based in Essex, Michael splits his time between celebrity clients on film sets, private cancer clinics, home gyms, and his global invite-only fitness app. His schedule is full - but never chaotic.
“I structure my time around what matters most: family, purpose-driven work, and keeping myself sharp,” he says. More often than not, he trains with his clients. That’s how he leads - from the front.
The Foundation: Boxing, Mindset, and Movement
Long before he was coaching international clients, Michael was a kid glued to boxing legends like Muhammad Ali and Chris Eubank. It wasn’t just their punches that caught his eye—it was their flair, grit, and unapologetic mindset.
His own boxing coach left a lifelong impact. “He taught me how to think under pressure, move with intention, and stay grounded. Always.” That foundation of mental discipline and strategic movement still fuels everything Michael does today - from personal training to parenting.
Why BlazePod? “It Has to Be Engaging.”
Michael’s fitness philosophy is clear: if training feels like a chore, you won’t stick with it.
“If you want fitness to be something you stick to, it has to be engaging. BlazePod delivers that and more. It trains your mind, not just your body.”
That’s what sets BlazePod apart in Michael’s view - especially for busy parents, working professionals, or rising athletes who need training that fits into their lives and challenges them on every level.
“When something’s enjoyable, you don’t have to force consistency. It happens naturally.”
His Favorite Drill: Light Catcher
It’s fast. It’s competitive. And it comes from the ring.
Michael’s go-to BlazePod drill is called Light Catcher, a spin on an old-school boxing reflex drill he did growing up. Picture touch-boxing - but with light cues. The goal? Tap the Pods as they light up, faster than your opponent.
“You need speed, awareness, and anticipation to win. It’s simple but brutal. And every client I’ve used it with ends up addicted.”
Drills like this remind clients that training doesn’t have to be overcomplicated to be effective—it just has to push them where it counts.
What He Trains For: The Skills Most Ignore
Michael’s training focus isn’t built on vanity metrics or aesthetics. He’s more interested in reaction speed, focus, coordination, and brain-body connection - the hidden skills that turn movement into mastery.
“Whether I’m in the gym or out living life, I want to be sharp. BlazePod helps me train the skills most people ignore. But they’re the ones that separate the good from the great.”
Results You Can See - and Feel
Since integrating BlazePod into his sessions, Michael’s seen a measurable difference. Not just in his own performance - but in the mindset of his clients.
“I’ve seen faster reactions, sharper movement, and better confidence. Confidence grows from repetition and competence, and BlazePod is perfect for drilling that in.”
That feedback loop - of data, improvement, and visible progress - is key to motivation, especially for clients juggling high-stress lives or tight schedules.
Community. Accountability. Energy.
What makes the BlazePod Creator Community different? For Michael, it’s the generosity.
“Coaches, athletes, parents - all learning from each other. There’s a unique energy when people are genuinely pushing the limits together and being generous with their knowledge.”
It’s more than shared drills - it’s shared values. Challenge, improvement, and encouragement.
What Keeps Him Going
Michael doesn’t rely on hype to stay motivated. He stays accountable by remembering what’s at stake: his family, his legacy, and the example he’s setting.
“I get inspired by my clients, by the resilience I see, and by the eyes watching me at home - my daughters. They see how I move, how I act, and what I prioritise. That alone keeps me accountable.”
Final Word: Lead from the Front
Whether he’s lighting up the Pods, coaching clients through burnout, or setting the tone for the day at home, Michael Baah lives the way he trains: with intention, energy, and consistency.
And if you’re looking for a drill to test your speed and anticipation like a pro?
Try Light Catcher. Simple. Brutal. Effective. Just like the work that matters most.
