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’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.

Michele is absolutely amazing! I have never met someone who is so knowledgeable about the human body and knows how to tailor workouts, stretches, massages, and exercises to your body’s… read more needs. She is a personal trainer that really hones in on the “personal” side of training where she is able to assess where you body is at and give you the tools to help improve whatever you need/want to. Not only that, she is a wonderful person who will make you feel confident in yourself inside and out. It was great to have someone who cared enough to check in with me between sessions. I was someone who really disliked working out and moving my body but after my sessions with Michele, I finally have a great attitude towards working out and even enjoy it!

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.
