As Director of Personal Training at Xcel Fitness, Mike has dedicated his career to helping people accomplish goals they once believed were out of reach. His coaching combines advanced education, real-world experience, and genuine relationships to create lasting results—not quick fixes.

His mission isn’t simply to help people exercise.

It’s to help people become the kind of person who enjoys living a healthy, active life.

About Tyler

Helping You Move Better, Build Real Strength, and Unlock Your Full Athletic Potential

Everyone has potential.

The difference between where you are today and where you want to be isn’t talent, it’s having the right plan, the right coach, and the willingness to put in consistent work.

Tyler Simper believes fitness should never be random. Every workout, every exercise, and every progression should have a purpose.

Whether you’re a competitive athlete preparing for your next season, someone returning to exercise after years away, or simply wanting to become stronger, healthier, and more confident, Tyler develops individualized training programs designed to help you perform at your highest level, both inside and outside the gym.

At Xcel Fitness, Tyler combines advanced education, specialized certifications, and years of coaching experience to help clients move more efficiently, develop functional strength, and discover what their bodies are truly capable of achieving.

“Potential means nothing until you put it to work.”

Talent can create opportunities.

Consistency creates results.

That philosophy shapes every coaching relationship Tyler builds.

He believes performance isn’t reserved for elite athletes.

It’s something everyone deserves to experience.

Whether someone wants to increase strength, improve mobility, become faster, reduce injuries, or simply feel better throughout everyday life, Tyler believes purposeful training helps people become more capable in every aspect of life.

Rather than simply making clients tired, Tyler teaches them how to move efficiently, train intelligently, and continually improve through structured, measurable progress.

Whether preparing for competition or simply wanting to become stronger for everyday life, Tyler believes lasting success comes through consistency, accountability, and purposeful coaching.

Why Clients Choose Tyler

One of Tyler’s greatest strengths is helping clients understand that performance is about far more than lifting heavier weights.

Performance means moving confidently.

Recovering efficiently.

Developing strength that carries into work, recreation, and everyday life.

His clients appreciate the structure and purpose behind every session. Rather than guessing what to do next, they train with a clear roadmap designed specifically for their goals, fitness level, and movement patterns.

Education & Coaching Credentials

Tyler believes exceptional coaching requires continual learning.

His advanced education and nationally recognized certifications allow him to combine evidence-based exercise science with practical coaching experience, creating individualized programs that are safe, effective, and designed to help every client perform at their highest level.

  • Master of Science
  • Bachelor of Science
  • USA Weightlifting Level 1 Sports Performance Coach
  • NASM Performance Enhancement Specialist (PES)
  • NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist (CES)
  • NASM Integrated Flexibility Specialist (IFS)
  • Parisi Speed School Certified Coach

His education allows him to work confidently with competitive athletes, active adults, and clients looking to improve movement quality while reducing the likelihood of injury.

Athletic Background

Tyler has always believed coaches should lead by example.

His athletic background includes football, wrestling, track & field, motocross, endurance events, skiing, snowboarding, hiking, and strength sports.

Experiencing such a wide variety of athletic disciplines has given him firsthand appreciation for the physical and mental demands of performance, recovery, and continual improvement.

Those experiences help him relate equally well to competitive athletes striving for peak performance and individuals simply looking to become stronger and healthier.

Coaching Philosophy

Performance isn’t just for elite athletes.

It’s for parents who want the energy to keep up with their children.

It’s for adults who want to hike Utah’s mountains with confidence.

It’s for teenagers preparing for varsity sports.

It’s for someone who simply wants to move without pain and feel capable again.

Tyler believes everyone deserves to experience what it feels like to move well.

That belief influences every exercise he selects, every progression he builds, and every relationship he develops with his clients.

Because true coaching isn’t about creating dependence.

It’s about giving people the knowledge, confidence, and physical ability to continue succeeding long after they leave the gym.

Outside The Gym

Outside of coaching, Tyler enjoys remaining active year-round and continually challenging himself through outdoor recreation and athletic pursuits.

Whether skiing, snowboarding, hiking, participating in endurance events, or exploring new physical challenges, he believes maintaining an active lifestyle allows him to better understand the experiences of the people he coaches every day.

His own commitment to lifelong fitness reinforces the philosophy he shares with every client: movement is one of the greatest investments a person can make in their health and quality of life.
