Can’t wait to move to San Diego area and go here

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 am so happy I found Michele! I’ve always worked out & considered myself athletic (running, biking, climbing). I started to feel really tight, sore after climbing & like I… read more was losing my strength getting older. Being in my 40s I thought that’s just what it’s like getting older, but working out with Michele proved me wrong. With Michele I quickly learned how to stretch, breathe & workout properly and today I am stronger than ever, feel healthy & super motivated. I am so impressed by her expertise, focus & dedication to my (& everyone in class) individual goals & results. Classes are challenging & fun and it‘s a great environment. Michele always asks for feedback. If you have an injury she knows how to work around it so you still get a great , safe work out. She gives us 100% of her attention and I love that Michele celebrates my progress as much as I do. I have been taking Michele’s classes for almost 4 years now!

Michele is a phenomenal trainer, instructor, and all around human being! By far the best I have ever been to and one of the kindest most positive individuals I know.… read more No matter what your fitness level or experience you will leave her classes feeling stronger, smarter, happier, and ready to take on the world! Her vast amount of knowledge of not only fitness techniques, but nutrition and wellness is astounding and she puts all of this to good use. She never hesitates to answer a question and actively encourages them from beginning to the end of the class. I’ve never felt more informed in regards to my workouts or had someone with such a comprehensive understanding of the human body. She keeps her gym exceptionally clean as well, disinfecting and wiping down all equipment and mats after each and every class. And is also respectful of personal space and boundaries, offering hands-on adjustments, but making sure to ask permission beforehand to ensure everyone is comfortable and respected. I love the variety of classes she offers and the fact that they range from early in the morning to late into the evening! This flexibility allows me to get my workouts in regularly with ease even with my hectic personal life and work schedule. The smaller class sizes also make for an amazing customized workout and Michele is so in tune and invested in all of her clients that she has no problem customizing/modifying any and all workouts to truly suit everyone’s individual needs. I go into Michele’s classes after a long day in the office feeling so tight, uncomfortable, and messed up. I walk out of them feeling like an entirely new human being, with all my aches and pains gone. The improvement in my flexibility, strength, and mobility, especially in my injured shoulder (injury having happened in an unrelated circumstance), has increased ten fold! She is seriously a life saver and I don’t know what I would do without her. I look forward to each and every class. Having gone to Michele for almost 3 years now, I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you take her classes and am pretty sure you’ll wonder why you hadn’t done it sooner!

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.

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.
