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!

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 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!

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.
