Michael Craven, President and Founder of True Fitness Solutions
Michael Craven is considered a local legend in the field of exercise
and weightlifting. His broad knowledge of the fitness industry comes
in part from having been the owner and trainer of Mike’s Olympic
Gym for over 23 years. Mike has trained 8 World Powerlifting Champions,
17 National Powerlifting Champions, 30 State Powerlifting Champions,
and was personally ranked 5th in the American Drug Free Powerlifting
Nationals in 1987. He has co-developed and appeared on several local
television fitness shows including Fitness Facts which was created
through his partnership with the Chippenham Sports Medicine Department

to be proud of, Mike’s biggest success stories have come from
his everyday gym members who have achieved better health and fitness
from his knowledge and training. While he continues to operate his

Solutions – a company that is dedicated to helping people
