After being in chronic and excruciating pain for over 12 years I finally relented and had back surgery last year. Well it wasn’t the miracle I had hoped for and… read more the disappointment from that turned my pain to both physical and mental. I was desperate to find the right solution. The right person. And then I found Michele – and we slowly started changing my life one workout at a time. I can’t say enough about Michele and her ability to read your body and come up with alternate moves that are tailored to where you are at in the moment. She tailors each session and is a master at giving analogies to further explain how and why she wants you to move in a particular way. She is so mindful of your needs but also knows when and how to push when you need it most. She is direct and encouraging and checks in regularly through the week to see how your feeling, if you have any questions and to motivate you to move your body in between sessions. Of course after 15 sessions my back is not cured – but for the first time in 15 years I can finally say that it is not at the forefront of my life anymore. It’s background noise now and I have no doubt as I continue to work with Michele that it will become a thing of my past. At 45 years old I thought it might be too late for me to regain my strength and confidence in my own body – but Michele has shown me it’s never to late.

I really can’t say enough about Michele. She is the perfect instructor – incredibly knowledgeable about the anatomy and physiology, and highly experienced in a broad range of physical training… read more techniques. What makes her super special is her passion…about her studio, her profession, and most of all, her clients…. their well-being and success in reaching whatever fitness goal they have set for themselves. She is keenly observant of her students in action and encourages feedback, which she transforms into customized instruction. I have been going to Michele’s classes for several years, and as my needs have evolved (including some intimidating challenges) she has always adapted her instruction to meet them, with bottomless patience and support, and ALWAYS with unmatched enthusiasm! She has made a real difference in my life. I wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone seeking a fun, challenging, productive and personalized work-out environment.

Michele is incredible! In only 2 months she has helped me get stronger and feel more confident about my postpartum body. In terms of your own personal ability, she meets… read more you where you’re at and pushes you just enough. Her attention to detail is unmatched, which has made the biggest difference for me. She knows exactly how to keep you accountable without judgement and is extremely encouraging. I didn’t think I’d be able to reach my goals or feel this strong this quickly, and it’s all because of her guidance and support. You have to be willing to do the exercises at home in between classes, but she texts you to check in and is always available if you have questions. I’m so happy I started working with her!
