About

I have 15+ years of experience as a swim instructor and coach. I run a learn to swim lesson program for kids and adults of all levels, beginner to competitive training. I also have a learn to swim program for children with special needs, specifically those on the spectrum, including non verbal students. I am a RYT200 yoga teacher. I teach group and private yoga classes in a variety of styles, including hatha and vinyasa as well as moving meditation. I believe there is power in learning to channel ones breath. I work with all my clients on mastering breath techniques that can be used in class and life for channeling energy, mood regulation and more. I am also a Personal Trainer. I like to combine body weight resistance and circuit training in a HIIT style workout. I developed my approach to training after years as an elite level athlete and coach. My program gives clients the freedom to train wherever they are without the need for equipment or excess space. My workouts produce results for everyone at every level of fitness. I have yet to meet someone with a fitness goal that I could not help. Years of experience as both athlete and coach have given me a balanced understanding and appreciation for what it takes to create change in the body and mind as well as the language to convey that to others. I most enjoy working with motivated individuals and I love being a part of healthy, positive transformation in people's lives!

I really lucked out finding Michelle. She is so so good at what she does. She isn't your trainer that has a preset workout and uses it with everyone. She is ALWAYs bringing something new and challenging me every time we train. She is so meticulous in her workout plans and teaches me the form and explains what muscles we are working/shaping and how a given exercise is affecting your body. Many of the exercises we do are things I've never seen/heard of before but she is very innovative and always looking into new things and what research says. I truly believe she cares about my well being, the results I want and she listens to concerns and targets her workouts to address those. She also can provide excellent nutritional advice to give you the whole package. She is extremely upbeat and motivating. Each time I see her she is truly engaged in our time and will make sure to adjust my posture/positioning to make sure I get the full benefits.....I could go on and on. She is a unique person and a fantastic trainer. I'm definitely impatient in wanting to be exactly where I want to be...like yesterday and she is patient with me and explains realistic time frames for seeing results. I've recommended her to friends and they love her. I was iffy about writing a review because I don't want her to be taken away by more people! Anyone would be lucky to work with her!

Michelle has been so great. She is not only extremely knowledgeable in fitness, well-educated, and an amazing athlete herself, she is such an excellent trainer. She is so incredibly supportive and pushes me through every work out so I get the most I possibly can from it. She also consults me through the rest my fitness week plans for optimal and quick results, even though I am only able to see her twice a week :( I wish I could afford to see her everyday! With that said, she is extremely competitively priced, and thanks to this - I AM able to see her twice a week. I love all of these qualities about Michelle and so much more, but my favorite is probably her willingness and understanding to work with me. If you have respect for her she will return it!! I couldn't be happier with how well we work together. A+
