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.

My experience with Michele and Boundless has been amazing! For my second pregnancy I decided to seek help from a trainer who not only understood the woman’s body, but the… read more pregnant woman’s body! I found Michele and I cannot even explain how beneficial my workouts have been from a physical and mental standpoint. Michele has a wonderful energy, is a clear communicator, and is incredibly knowledgeable about the body. Her positive energy was something I needed more than ever as I’d go through the stages of pregnancy. Michele’s gym is spacious, clean, and she does an excellent job of explaining the type of equipment you are using, how to use it properly, and she also helps you find ways to substitute for workouts at home. I can’t say enough about my experience!

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!

I started working with Michele 4 months into my pregnancy looking to stay physically fit. I wish I had started even sooner! Working with Michele had me not only feeling… read more strong physically throughout my pregnancy, but empowered, knowledgeable, and SO loved and supported. She is truly an expert at what she does and always made time to address my specific needs and concerns. An added bonus was the community fostered within her classes that connected me with amazing women to continue this new mom journey with. Taking her class was by far one of the best decisions I made during my pregnancy to support my physical, mental, and emotional well-being. I cannot recommend her enough!

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!
