Mike Wilcox: Owner
|
My name is Mike Wilcox, I specialize in functional training, implementing exercise techniques that allow each individual to live a better daily life. In 2005, I earned my American Council on Exercise Certified Personal Trainer certificate. By having 10 years of personal training experience and over 16 years in the fitness industry under my belt, I have developed the knowledge, techniques, personality and compassion to encourage individuals to live a healthier lifestyle. My largest passion is finding a way to connect with people and showing them how to make their lives a little bit healthier. I am always motivated to learn and become educated in the constantly changing health and fitness field. I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Community Health from the University of Maine at Farmington, concentrating on physical fitness and wellness. I was a 2-year captain and all-conference basketball player in college giving me great personal experience training as a college athlete. While I was at UMF, I was hired to teach incoming freshman the fundamentals of strength and conditioning, which started my career in the fitness industry back in 1998. I intend to use my education and experience to positively impact the greater Bangor community through Wilcox Wellness & Fitness.

My favorite thing about exercise is that it allows me to do all the things I enjoy outside of the gym. I am never limited because 80% of the time I eat well and exercise, the other 20% I really enjoy my life. Some of the things I enjoy doing include cycling, hiking, camping & fishing, kayaking, cross country skiing, and many other outdoor activities. I live in Bangor with my wife Paige, our dog Oliver, and our cat Marley. We just welcomed our baby boy, Hazen, to the family in April of 2014.

Paige Wilcox: Owner
|
My name is Paige Wilcox and Mike and I opened Wilcox Wellness & Fitness together while I was still working my corporate account management job. Since I was a little girl, it has always been my dream to own my own business. I just didn’t know what type of business that would be. What I did know, that through that business, I wanted to work to make the world a better, more beautiful place. That is exactly what I wrote in my college acceptance essay to the University of Maine Business School. My favorite childhood book was Mrs. Rumphius – a story of a little girl’s great aunt, Mrs. Rumphius, who made the world a more beautiful place by spreading lupine seeds from Maine all over the world. I wrote in my essay that I did not yet know how I would make the world a better place but I knew I would do that through business. Mike and I met in 2006 - he was a long time personal trainer and I was always so inspired by the work that he did and the impact that he is able to make on the lives around him. When people commit to health and fitness, everything else in their lives falls into place.

It is absolutely amazing to me – they have a better relationship with their family, they are able to advance more quickly in their careers, and overall their outlook on life in general is so much more positive. This not only effects the individual who is benefiting from the healthy lifestyle but everyone surrounding them – their spouse, children, boss, employees, co-workers, and even the mail man. This is the change in the world that I am so honored and excited to be part of.
In 2012, we opened Wilcox Wellness & Fitness in an effort to affect more people in our community. I believe that through health and fitness, we can make the world a better, more beautiful place to be. This is why in 2015, I decided leave my corporate job in the biotech industry to come on board with the business full time to help be a catalyst to that change. My goal is to help Wilcox Wellness & Fitness positively effect more of the people of our community. I am so excited to see the ripple effect this change will make in our world.

Katie Norwood: Trainer

My name is Katie Norwood, I have been involved in the fitness industry since 2008. I earned my bachelors degree in Exercise Science from the University of Maine, where I became an ACE certified personal trainer. My goal is to help clients discover their own potential and strength. Everyone deserves to live the healthiest life possible, have confidence, and feel their best. Being healthy and fit can help you see the world differently. The world looks different from a bike or a pair of skis than it does from a car or an airplane. Those are the moments that make up your life. I make workouts fun and rewarding, challenging the body and mind in exhilarating ways. I truly love fitness and helping others find their love for fitness. Exercise is my passion. I want people to see exercise as a joy, not a utility; as a gift, not a chore; as an opportunity, not an obligation. I hope to meet you soon and share my passion for healthy living with you. |
Schaeffer Grierson: Trainer

Hi, my name is Schaeffer Grierson and I am an ACE certified personal trainer. I have gone through my own personal journey with weight loss, exercise, and healthy living. When I was 24, I lost 80 pounds on my own. Going through that journey without the support of a coach was very difficult. I struggled with learning how to find a balance with my diet and my life. You can read more on my journey here. In 2015 I made the decision to make a career of being a Personal Trainer because I don’t want others to have to navigate that path alone. I want to be the guide that helps people navigate the path with Healthy Living.
Wilcox Wellness & Fitness is the perfect fit for me as a trainer. I am so excited to get behind the mission and truly help people enhance their life by forming healthy habits that are sustainable |
for a lifetime. Throughout my journey with healthy living, I experimented with many different approaches - some were not sustainable at all. Finding a facility whose sole focus is lifetime health has been very inspiring for me personally.
Through my experience, I promise you that putting in the work to form healthy habits that you can sustain for a lifetime is absolutely worth it. Life is so much better when you don’t have that extra weight to carry around. You not only feel lighter, your entire outlook on life changes. Things that seemed beyond your reach now seem attainable. You have the energy and the excitement to do all of the things in life that you want to do.
In my role as a personal trainer, I love showing clients that their personal best is only temporary. The body is meant to be continuously changing and growing. I love the feeling of accomplishment that clients experience after they have finished a workout they thought they would never be able to do. I love that I get to help people form a solid foundation for an amazing life. I love that I get to help clients eat healthier, be more active, increase their overall fitness, reduce stress, manage time, and see just how effective a workout can be for your mind body and soul.
I love being a personal trainer at Wilcox Wellness & Fitness. I hope to have the opportunity to work with you and guide you along your path with healthy living.

Oliver Wilcox: Welcoming Committee
|
Hello, my name is Oliver Wilcox I am a 8 year old golden doodle. I am one of the founding partners of Wilcox Wellness & Fitness and I played a key role of setting the mission of the business to help people live their best life through health and fitness. I am incredibly skilled when it comes to helping people feel more comfortable in the gym. I have a great sense for when clients need a little extra golden loving.
I spend most of my days at the gym. My goal is to give our clients the little extra encouragement they need to get through the challenging workouts. If I am not lounging on my bed in the office, I can be found laying on my back next to the TRXs or begging for ear scratches. When I am not in the gym, I love spending time with my family, swimming, and sniffing in the woods. Be sure to give me a high five (or knuckles) on your way out! Happy Training! Love, Oliver |
