People saying nice things
“I am so grateful that I found Michelle. Her guidance and knowledge supported me at a time when I really needed a new exercise plan to support specific goals and a nutrition plan as I had recently gone through some health and diet changes due to intolerances and thyroid troubles. I genuinely looked forward to the workout plan that was designed for me and my injury at the time. I got in the best shape possible before a planned surgery (the surgeon and physiotherapists commented) and Michelle really helped me do that. The exercise was really easy to fit in to my schedule as well as to maintain and included movement I enjoyed. I am looking forward to the new exercise plans included with the rest of the package! The sports nutrition tailored to my specific dietary needs took a whole lot of complex planning out of my weekly shopping, gives me lots of variety in what I can eat (after feeling quite overwhelmed previously) and leaves me feeling great, inside and out. Michelle’s professional and warm manner makes the whole process accessible and inviting. Thank you, Michelle :-)” – Jenny Hayes
“Michelle has been instrumental in helping me shift my focus to a healthier way of living. Training for a triathlon event, I reached out to Michelle to help assist with losing some weight and eating healthier to optimise my performance. Michelle crafted meal plans inline with my training and i’ve noticed a huge uptick in performance, my health and my mindset towards food and exercise. I highly recommend her services.” – Tommy Verrall
“I’ve worked with Michelle since June 2015 and she’s proved to be a highly knowledgeable, deeply passionate professional. Her food plans and exercise plans have been consistently excellent and have helped me work towards my body composition and fitness goals at a much faster pace than I expected. She is extremely adept at making her plans and routines extremely focused on my individual routine, for a truly tailored service. I cannot recommend her highly enough and look forward to continuing to work with her” – Ardil Salem
“Quite simply, if you are serious about losing weight, getting in shape or generally feeling better about your body then speak to Michelle. I have literally changed my life because of her. I was never a bad eater in general but Michelle has shown me how much better I can feel about myself and my body by changing what I eat. And the best thing about it is that the food she recommends is actually way nicer than the unhealthy food I was eating in the first place. It was all a great process. I told her exactly what I wanted and she told me exactly what I needed to do to achieve it. She was very supportive also which was great and she took a genuine interest in how I was doing and I always new she was on hand to answer any questions dietwise or training wise. Her training methods were very simple but very effective. I burned fat and increased muscle size in no time and I never once signed up for a gym. Michelle is great, she puts the “personal” in Personal Trainer” – Dominic Hughes
“I’ve been training with Michelle for a few years now and it’s had such a positive impact on my life. Michelle achieves the perfect balance of being friendly and fun, but tough at the same time. She is brilliant at gauging what is required to get the best out of me and is a great motivator. The fact that she teaches boxing is such a bonus, this is my favourite part of training! She has also guided me towards making small changes to my diet, which overall have improved my lifestyle, without sacrificing the things I enjoy the most. A sensible, healthy approach to nutrition and fitness. I think I’m looking and feeling better than I have for years. Thanks Michelle!” – Jenny Fitzgerald
“I have trained with Michelle for over 8 years and she now also coaches my partner and my best friend. I have had various trainers throughout
“Michelle has been my sports nutritioni
“I was an emotional eater and I used to have a lot of sugar cravings. I needed suppport in terms of nutrition and training and I also needed someone I could learn from in how to build a healthy lifestyle. I was lucky when I found Michelle! Training with her is a pleasure, not a duty. Every training session is different so you can’t get bored and it’s the same for nutrition. You receive a meal plan, not a diet. The secret of the plan is including food that will boost your energy and detox your body! I’ve been working with Michelle for 2 weeks and I’ve already lost a dress size, my skin is glowing and I feel a lot of energy all the time. If you’re honest with her about your behaviours week by week on food and training, results are definitely guaranteed!” – Daniela Pavan
“Being a nurse and a midwife I know the changes the pregnant and postnatal body goes through, and therefore it was essential for me to work with someone who has the knowledge and is specifically qualified to train someone ante and postnatally. Michelle has helped me rebuild my body in the best and safest possible way, as well as helping me with nutrition in order to maximise breast feeding and keep my energy levels up. Friendly and flexible, Michelle is only ever an email or text message away, always willing to offer advice or encouragement. I could not recommend her warmly enough.” – Natalie Taylor
“In the three short months I have been training with Michelle I have experienced a transformation. Firstly, through taking a detailed case history of food; likes and dislikes – Michelle has transformed my diet – I eat more now than I previously ate and yet I have lost and maintained a healthy weight. Secondly, through taking a detailed case history of exercises I like and dislike, injuries and so on; then producing a training schedule which dovetails with the sports nutrition diet I have gone from being ‘sporty’ to being an ‘athlete’. I have more endurance, stamina and strength as well as a lean, toned, fit and healthy body which of course enables me to think even more clearly and enjoy a better quality of life. Michelle is a good listener and from my experience really does ‘tailor’ the nutrition and training plans to the individual.” – Nicole Marais
“I trained with Michelle three times a week for 12 weeks and the final results exceeded my expectations and more. Turning up for each session was exciting as no two sessions were the same and I never knew what was in store which kept my muscles guessing! For me Michelle has really nailed it in terms of her instruction and enthusiasm. She is tough but encouraging which is what you need in a personal trainer. You have to put the work in and be 100% focussed but the rewards are awesome. What I really love about her is that it is not just about exercising – she places as much emphasis on diet and lifestyle as she does on the physical side and they definitely go hand in hand. I cannot recommend her highly enough and look forward to returning to train with her on Brighton seafront – how lucky am I !!” – Winnie Wishart
“It’s September. The days of lounging, comfort-eating and terrible excuses (e.g. the weather’s so bad there’s nothing to do but eat!) are OVER. This time last year I bit the bullet and went in search of a personal trainer for the first time ever. Michelle turned my life around – friendly, motivating and ever professional, I owe a whole new outlook on fitness and health to my time spent with her. And when next my life permits, she’ll be my first port of call again.” – Amanda Hyatt
“Training with Michelle has been a life-changing experience. As well as helping me to lose weight and tone up in no time at all, she has helped me gain confidence and make regular exercise something to look forward to. From running miles outdoors to lifting heavier weights, her constant enthusiasm for her work is inspirational” – Jacqui Swift
“In my first session with Michelle I knocked five minutes off my best run time. I found it really motivating and she made me believe I could do it after thinking I was never that good at sports! Michelle has got a real skill at getting more out of you without being at all pushy. I highly recommend her.” – Jenny Savage
‘I started personal training with Michelle when I was 12 weeks pregnant and really liked her holistic approach. The assessment of posture, body fat, resting heart beat and nutrition was thorough and so the programme always feels very tailored to my needs. Her knowledge of pregnancy workouts is superb – I always leave feeling full of energy and I am enjoying watching my body change through both the growth of pregnancy but also through the enhancement of the training. In addition she is a lovely individual and the sessions are always a laugh not a chore. I would without hesitation recommend personal training with Michelle – I wish I’d discovered her years ago!’ – Anna Kay
“Today (end of week 7)… 13 kg in 7 weeks is amazing. That’s 2kg away from the first target. I never thought that the results were going to be so quick to come. I have tried to get the weight off now for a couple of years and have tried all sorts of diets and various types of exercise… never thought that by eating more I would lose weight! I think you are extremely professional and judging by the results you definitely know your stuff. I feel healthier and full of energy.”– Lawrence Scalzo
“I worked with Michelle for 4 months prior to a trip to Northern India when I needed to get fit to climb those steep mountains. I found Michelle extremely helpful – first of all she looks at your body and your capability and plans the training round your needs so it’s very individualised depending on the sort of fitness you want and why. She pushes you hard and increases the level of difficulty all the time so you are pushed to practise (which most of us need!). She’s gentle but firm!!!””From my point of view I learned a lot more about exercise and physical fitness generally, learned how to use the machines properly and Michelle always ensures you are holding yourself properly for the exercise – which a lot of people in the gym are not! I think Michelle is really good and would ask her to get me fit for another event if needed. It’s very rewarding to measure your level of fitness before and after!! I have already recommended Michelle to my husband and a neighbour who are both training with Michelle now. Good luck!” – Sue Wyld
