30 Pounds in 2 Months!

"Michelle, I cannot begin to express how wonderful you, the program and everyone of your trainers and staff are. I feel more joy, connection to myself and others, and feel that I have a more meaningful sense of accomplishment in my life. I felt that I had these feelings prior to participating in the "UBP" however, I was wrong.

I can really reflect back on how I felt before I started the program and how I feel now. No comparison. I am so much more aware of my presence, I feel more grounded and alive than I have in years.

The coaching, menu plans, cooking classes, food shopping trips, and encouragement have really contributed to my losing 30 lbs in two months. Initially I did not know what to expect other than I was going to show up and do as I was directed and told! My thinking was "Oh what do I have to lose?"

I never imagined that this was possible for me. I am still learning from everyone in the program and continue to make progress at my level . Thank you for allowing me to realize that I too can get my sexy back. "

Stronger and Leaner...

"This program has transformed me from a soft, slightly heavy, couch potato to a more aerobically fit, flexible, stronger human being.

I am now back into sports I gave up years ago because my poor health made them so uninviting to participate in, thank you Michelle!"

Background:

Coaching Goals:

I grew up in a household where goals were paramount. My mother started out as a 10k runner, then a marathoner, then a triathlete, then an IronMan (or is that IronWoman?) The title may not be important; it's what she did to get there. She taught me the importance of setting small, achievable goals, and making your life your own. She was 'Just-do-it' well before Nike just-did-it.

It's important to me to translate the value of safe training – many people look at training as an all-out effort every day, every week. Workouts need to cover a wide range of efforts: each session has a purpose, an underlying goal to take you to your next race better than you were before and at your top level of performance. Building recovery into a program is not just a nice-to-have; it's a critical component that cannot be ignored.

Success, if it is to be defined at all, must be measured. Whether it's a picture of your former self, a race result, a journal, it's about transformation and seeing progress. There also needs to be balance regarding the measurement. Sometimes you need a run, just for a run's sake and its ok to leave the watch at home.

Racing and competition are an important part of my life. You can find me anywhere from 10k's to multi-day expedition racing and I believe strongly in our ability to push each other and attain new heights of physical capability. I believe competition isn't about beating someone else, it's about getting pushed (and allowing yourself to be pushed) by your fellow competitors and discovering you are suddenly capable of attaining something you thought out-of-reach.
