I’ve been going to Michele for 2 years and every class she continues to challenge me! After working with Michele I am FAR more flexible and have the best butt… read more I’ve ever had in my life. Her workouts are extremely well balanced focusing on a myriad of muscle groups—and often ones I would never work out on my own or even know how to. So a surprise outcome for me inititally was how much better my back felt just working with her regularly for a few weeks. I think it’s also important to note how personal her classes are, which is exemplified by the fact that she always starts out with the same question: “How do you feel today?” She’s always ready to accommodate and modify exercises based upon any injuries, limitations, or if something just isn’t feeling right. Class sizes are very small, so even in group mat workouts you feel as if you have a personal trainer. She’s incredibly engaged and thoughtful in her workouts ensuring that everyone—regardless of fitness level or experience—walks away feeling accomplished and with a great workout. She also ends her classes with the same question too, which I love, “Do you have any questions for me?” Hot tip: I would 100% recommend subscribing to a monthly plan! The class times are flexible both in the morning and evening, easy to schedule, and offer an immense variety: She offers kickboxing, pilates, Matt barre, buti yoga, kettle bells, “off the wall” workouts, the list goes on! Whatever class you take though, expect there will always be a little “Michele twist!” that makes it unique and exciting.

Five stars are not enough. I have been in San Diego for the past year taking care of my grandson. At 72 years old, my strength, posture, balance, and flexibility… read more have all greatly increased and there are things that I am amazed I can now do that I could only have dreamed of a year ago. Michele is a very special trainer and person. My only regret about leaving San Diego is not being able to work in person with her. She is the BEST!

Michele is absolutely amazing! I have never met someone who is so knowledgeable about the human body and knows how to tailor workouts, stretches, massages, and exercises to your body’s… read more needs. She is a personal trainer that really hones in on the “personal” side of training where she is able to assess where you body is at and give you the tools to help improve whatever you need/want to. Not only that, she is a wonderful person who will make you feel confident in yourself inside and out. It was great to have someone who cared enough to check in with me between sessions. I was someone who really disliked working out and moving my body but after my sessions with Michele, I finally have a great attitude towards working out and even enjoy it!

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!

Michele is an INCREDIBLE trainer and person. She is kind, empathetic, strong, supportive, and encouraging. I came to Boundless to work on getting back into shape and to help with… read more reoccurring pain in my hip and shoulder stemming from injury and hyper mobility. Michele took tons of time to get to know me and my body before we even began and has helped me tremendously in the time we’ve worked together. I’m much stronger and my pain has decreased as we’ve improved my alignment. Michele pays close attention to your form during personal training and has an incredible eye for spotting areas that need correction. She discovered that one of my feet tended to roll to the side during exercise and has helped me strengthen and reorient it, helping to correct so many other issues from that one detail. She gives intuitive cues that help you get everything moving how it’s supposed to while you’re working out! Everything is custom to your needs and she never pressures you to do more than what’s appropriate for your body. Personally, she is so sweet and motivating and is always a joy to spend time with. She meets you exactly where you’re at and gives you gentle motivation to grow. If I wasn’t moving away, I’d keep training with her forever!

I don’t want to sound over-dramatic, but my experience at Pilates 4 Women Only has been life changing! I had a herniated disc in my neck, lots of tension, pain,… read more migraines, stiffness when my doctors told me I had to be stretching and exercising daily or I would end up needing (another, my 3rd!) spinal epidural shot for the pain. I have never been a person that actually enjoys working out. I don’t hate it, but I always dreaded going to a class or workout-until I found Michele at Pilates 4 Women Only. She has amazing classes that are gentle enough for my neck, but targeted to reduce the tension and build overall strength. After just the first few classes I knew I would be committed to working with Michele and that she could do what all the other group yoga and physical therapists had been unable to do- give me my life back and keep me out of daily pain! Michele is so incredibly knowledgeable about the body, muscles and what exercises are best for each person, she constantly blows me away. I have been going for over a year and we still do new moves every week, she never runs out of new things to try or ways to improve our workouts. I can move my neck, sleep and sit without pain now and this was something I had been unable to do for almost 5 years. The doctors kept giving me pain pills, Michele gave me solutions and hope. Even more than the pain relief, I love Pilates 4 Women because of Michele. She makes you feel like you are working out with a friend- one who is incredibly smart, thoughtful, really cares about your overall well-being, you have fun with, and you feel good, both mentally ad physically, after you leave. Even though I have improved SO much, I would continue seeing Michele even if I felt 100% all the time. The classes are just FUN, and starting here was such a great decision, I can’t recommend it enough! Do yourself a favor and give this studio and try, you’ll see why it’s different- and better!
