Michael O’Rourke, BA (Hons), Director

Michael is the founder and Director of Morpheus Health and Fitness. After spending several happy years coaching sport and teaching at his local prep school he decided to retrain for the fitness industry. After completing his training at St Mary’s College, Twickenham and with The American College of Sports Medicine (A.C.S.M.) he started his new career at Champneys Health and Fitness Club, Piccadilly, eventually becoming Fitness Manager. It was at Champneys that he set up and ran a successful Personal Training service which offered its clients a professional and original approach. This approach has been fine tuned and developed to create a new, unique, and comprehensive wellness solution… Morpheus PT.

Michael engenders trust and commitment in all his clients. As a passionate educator he is a dedicated fitness professional with a wealth of experience in the often conflicting world of health and wellbeing. More recent training with The CHEK Institute in California and the Open University has developed his knowledge and understanding of how to achieve optimum health.

Still active on the gym floor (his words), Michael has a loyal client list that still enjoy his energetic, creative and fun fitness routines!
