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.

I have being working with Michele at Boundless for about six months now and she is literally the BEST! I came to Michele when I was feeling my absolute lowest… read more physically and it was taking a toll on other aspects of my life. I have worked with other trainers, tried it alone at the gym (ha!) and done group classes but never end up sticking with it for a variety of reasons. What I appreciate so much about Michele is she takes the time to explain to you the “why” behind the movements and she was so patient starting at the very basics with me. She doesn’t just give you the support and guidance in your session — she has helped me with nutrition, meal planning, and checks in on how I’m doing in between sessions which helps with accountability. Beyond all that, Michele is just an absolute joy to be around. Even if I’m not feeling super motivated to work out (which now happens less and less) I’m always excited to see Michele. Her attitude is infectious and I always leave in the best mood. Overall, I am so happy to have found Boundless. I feel stronger and more confident than I ever have before!!

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.

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 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’s vast knowledge, attention to detail, and ability to explain things with ease will ensure you are giving 110% to your work out. She guides you in engaging the… read more proper muscles, holding the correct form, and giving modifications if necessary. She checks in with you to see how your body is feeling and will give you appropriate stretches to address any issues. All of Michele’s classes are excellent and you will get a great work out! My personal favorite is her Acro Yoga class! You get a good workout while having tons of fun! The time just flies by each class! Though I do enjoy all the classes, Acro is definitely my favorite. 🙂
