"Michelle is an amazing personal trainer. She is extremely present in each session and has the capacity to read my energy on a given day and match the session to both my energy, short term and long term goals. She is knowledgeable and experienced and yet open to learning and new ideas. Michelle's approach is enthusiastic and fun and she celebrates success each step of the way. She is also very encouraging and supportive on difficult training days and is able to hold a positive perspective. Michelle excels in her communication skills and displays both a patience and compassion that creates an atmosphere of acceptance. I am delighted to recommend Michelle for personal training and know that I will enjoy our work together for months to come." |

| “Michelle is the most talented and dedicated professional personal trainer that I've had the opportunity to work with here in Vancouver. Over the years, I've worked out with trainers from various private gyms and community centers. Michelle shines above the rest because of her absolute commitment to me as a client. She listens, shares her knowledge, supports and nudges me forward to meet my personal fitness goals. Michelle cares more about sharing her wealth of experience with me than any other trainer I've met. I'm all the better for it. I have recommended Michelle to anyone who will listen. She's a joy to work with.” | ||

| “Michelle was sensitive to my particular body, she has a sense of listening. I've had trainers in the past who have imposed their program one me, with no regard to my individual needs, it was their way or the highway! Michelle took into account what I was telling her.” | ||

“Michelle was my self-defense instructor in a program that was very challenging emotionally, mentally and physically. Because Michelle not only recognized but gave me credit for working harder when it was already difficult, I never felt like a failure. I left the course feeling courageous and empowered, and look at me on my wonderful 2-week bike/camping tour through the Rocky Mountains!! By the way, I'm 56 years old.” | |

| “In the years I have known Michelle she has demonstrated great courage, compassion, honesty and humour. When I first met her, she was a self-defence instructor for Model Mugging of BC, now known as Empower Training. She taught me self defence and then later taught me how to teach the program. This self defence program is unique in that it relies on realistic role play to teach skills and can therefore be extremely therapeutic, and requires instructors to have many skills and knowledge of women's issues. Michelle demonstrated all of these skills, plus a willingness to learn - about her craft, and herself. Michelle's students greatly admired her. Yet she never let this cloud her judgment. As her student, I felt respected and challenged.” | ||

It is a simple matter to reverse the physical effects of aging -- the atrophy of the muscles which takes place every year after the age of thirty. The method is the creation of more muscle than that which is being lost.The creation of muscle assists in the mineralization of bone, helping to create strong healthy bone so that those who work out with an exercise program achieve better posture and improved bone structure as they age instead of going in reverse and appearing slouched and withered. |
