Meet The Team That Makes SoWa Run
Mike Anderson
General Manager
Mike earned a B.S. in Exercise Science from UMass, Amherst in 1990 and immediately began working in the fitness industry at Le Pli Health Club & Spa in Cambridge, where he began to learn the importance of quality and customer service. From there he spent several years as a Personal Trainer before getting into club management. Over the past 25 years, Mike’s focus has been on operating clean, friendly, professional and energetic health clubs, while also staying active as a Personal Trainer, Group Fitness Instructor and Triathlon Coach. Having entered the sport of triathlon himself in the mid 90’s Mike has gone on to complete 9 Ironman races, as well as several shorter distance races. In June 2022 he attempted the Swissman Extreme Triathlon, where he missed the time cutoff by 15 minutes. He is going back this June in an attempt to finish the race this time. Mike looks forward to growing SoWa Health and Wellness into the best member-centric and community focused club in Boston.
