The beginning

Hi everyone, my name is Michael Salas; I am the founder of Somatic Strength and Conditioning I just want to say thank you to every single person who visits this page now or any time in the future; I truly appreciate every single one of you.

This is a weird one to write because in a ll seriousness I never thought it was something I would be doing. I have been a strength and conditioning coach for seven years as of 2025. I hold various certifications such as the NSCA-CSCS and TSAC-F, EXOS Performance Specialist, USA Weightlifting Coach Level 1, and USA Track and Field Coach Level 1. I have worked in a pretty wide range of spaces that has provided me with experience working with people and athletes of all levels from division one athletes to people who are walking in to a gym for the very first time; one thing they all have in common is that we have been able to work together to get them where they want to be regardles of the goals or prior inhibitions/ restrictions they may have.

I started Somatic expand my reach and allow me to help more people get stronger, more athletic, and be able to do the things the love every single day. Somatic pertains to the body, and I believe that taking care of your body is what allows someone to be able to go out and play sports, hike, bike, play with your kids, sprint faster, jump higher, or do whatever else you may want to do without a fear of being unprepared.

I hope you all enjoy, I will try to be consistent with these blog posts but we will see how that goes. I also applogize in advance for any rough edges on the website since I am still new to this.
