From the Smokies to the start line.
Mike Dedoes is an A.C.E.-certified personal trainer and DEKA World Championship finisher who builds every program around your goals — not a template. Train in person in Knoxville or from anywhere on Zoom.
Mike & Sara Dedoes
We started building our life together in 2020, when we met at a fitness conference just before the world shut down. Hiking became our favorite way to spend time together — and in June 2022, we were married in the Great Smoky Mountains. We call Knoxville home, with our two fur babies.
Mike coaches in-person and virtual clients full time. Sara teaches middle school. Together, fitness and helping people are what we build our life around.
