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!

I am so happy I found Michele! I’ve always worked out & considered myself athletic (running, biking, climbing). I started to feel really tight, sore after climbing & like I… read more was losing my strength getting older. Being in my 40s I thought that’s just what it’s like getting older, but working out with Michele proved me wrong. With Michele I quickly learned how to stretch, breathe & workout properly and today I am stronger than ever, feel healthy & super motivated. I am so impressed by her expertise, focus & dedication to my (& everyone in class) individual goals & results. Classes are challenging & fun and it‘s a great environment. Michele always asks for feedback. If you have an injury she knows how to work around it so you still get a great , safe work out. She gives us 100% of her attention and I love that Michele celebrates my progress as much as I do. I have been taking Michele’s classes for almost 4 years now!

Michele is a phenomenal trainer, instructor, and all around human being! By far the best I have ever been to and one of the kindest most positive individuals I know.… read more No matter what your fitness level or experience you will leave her classes feeling stronger, smarter, happier, and ready to take on the world! Her vast amount of knowledge of not only fitness techniques, but nutrition and wellness is astounding and she puts all of this to good use. She never hesitates to answer a question and actively encourages them from beginning to the end of the class. I’ve never felt more informed in regards to my workouts or had someone with such a comprehensive understanding of the human body. She keeps her gym exceptionally clean as well, disinfecting and wiping down all equipment and mats after each and every class. And is also respectful of personal space and boundaries, offering hands-on adjustments, but making sure to ask permission beforehand to ensure everyone is comfortable and respected. I love the variety of classes she offers and the fact that they range from early in the morning to late into the evening! This flexibility allows me to get my workouts in regularly with ease even with my hectic personal life and work schedule. The smaller class sizes also make for an amazing customized workout and Michele is so in tune and invested in all of her clients that she has no problem customizing/modifying any and all workouts to truly suit everyone’s individual needs. I go into Michele’s classes after a long day in the office feeling so tight, uncomfortable, and messed up. I walk out of them feeling like an entirely new human being, with all my aches and pains gone. The improvement in my flexibility, strength, and mobility, especially in my injured shoulder (injury having happened in an unrelated circumstance), has increased ten fold! She is seriously a life saver and I don’t know what I would do without her. I look forward to each and every class. Having gone to Michele for almost 3 years now, I guarantee you will not be disappointed if you take her classes and am pretty sure you’ll wonder why you hadn’t done it sooner!

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.
