Michelle is an intuitive and knowledgeable trainer and body worker. The holistic attention she pays to her clients, listening closely to their needs and goals, both spoken and unspoken in… read more their bodies, is unmatched in the “fitness” industry in my experience. As a woman who experienced drastic abdominal separation following three pregnancies, I tried many programs over the course of several years before finally finding the knowledge, guidance and compassionate support I needed in Michelle to heal my body and start regaining alignment and strength.

Working with Michele at Boundless has been the best gift to myself throughout my first pregnancy (currently ~34 weeks). In my first trimester I knew I wanted to start to… read more strengthen my body to have a healthy pregnancy and to work with someone who is specifically skilled in working with pregnant people. That’s when I found Michele. First we met for an in-person consult at the studio to talk about my goals and how she can help set me up with a solid plan. I immediately knew I was in the best of hands. I bought a 10 session pack of personal training which included private gym membership and with each private session, she guided me through a fantastic workout in the gym, in her neighboring pilates studio, and even some outdoor workouts in the park. She would also provide “homework” like written or video recorded exercises which helped keep me on track. Each session included a check-in on how I was feeling, lots of encouragement, feedback and modifications when necessary. Her knowledge of body mechanics and anatomy is unparalleled. I’ve always felt like I could trust her completely. She would even text me after sessions to ask me how I’m doing which I feel you can’t find in any other trainer! Michele is truly one of a kind and is wonderfully skilled and talented at what she does. She is THE trainer to go to if you are anywhere on the pregnancy/postpartum spectrum. Training with her helped me develop more confidence in myself and my physical abilities during pregnancy which has been a game changer. I can’t wait to get back to working with her postpartum to regain my balance and strength. Thank you so much Michele for everything you’ve done for me!

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!

When I found Michelle I was in a bad spot- my body hurt, I was heavier than ever before, and just felt awful. I knew I needed more than… read more just a workout – I needed a trainer- I have learned that there is a huge difference. Michelle is fantastic- she is a specialized with your entire body and mental wellness in mind. Her approach is purposeful, scientific. Intentionally building muscle to help loose fat, gain endurance and be resistant to joint pain pain. This past year coming to Boundless Womans Gym has not only been a life saver but a life ENHANCER! Just call and see for yourself

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.
