Michael Eckert

Michael was born and raised in Winter Park, Florida, where he began his journey into the world of fitness and social media.

His career has been filled with experiences, from being a sergeant in the Marine Corps to breaking the world record for doing 50 pull-ups in a minute.

His early passion for fitness eventually led him to develop a training style that combines rock climbing workouts, weight lifting, calisthenics, and high-intensity tactical training, called “Dynamic Stacking.” According to his website, this new approach was developed to integrate simplicity and efficiency in order to gain the best results in the shortest possible time. His new techniques and unique training methods have garnered a lot of attention and followers.

Eckert has been featured in Men's Health Magazine, where he was named one of the top 20 Fit-Fluencers alongside stars like Dwayne Johnson. He has, so far, trained thousands of Marines and civilians during his military service. Eckert competed in the fitness HITT championship where he represented all of USMC Japan in a fitness contest in Miramar.

He continues to post fitness tutorials on TikTok, Instagram, and YouTube and has so far gained over 2.3 million followers, 1.1 million followers, and over 149k subscribers, respectively.
