As a licensed FAF Gym Instructor, Michael has served as a freelancing personal trainer since 2004, with clients ranging from young teen athletes to the elderly in 11 countries to date. Nowadays, Michael runs his own personal training business, Body Mike. Sporting a very outspoken personal life philosophy, Michael has become well-known across Finnish media for speaking against the grain and standing for traditional values.

In 2016, a movie about Michael was released in Finnish and Swedish theaters, eventually to be distributed on DVD, VOD and through other channels, called Spandex Sapiens. The movie was funded by the Finnish National Broadcasting Company (YLE) and the Finnish Film Foundation (SES).

Michael’s other movie roles include Finland’s first-ever superhero action movie, Rendel (2017), which was released in theaters in September 2017 after which it was licensed worldwide, and It Came From The Desert (2017), which is slated for global theater release in 2018. Michael was also the official host of acclaimed Finnish men’s fitness lifestyle show Maximal on the bygone MTV Max channel in Finland back in 2009, in addition to performing a cameo on Finnish television drama series Aallonmurtaja (2019).
