Have Fun and Meet Your Fitness Goals with Michelle

"My goals are to help our clients meet their goals and to be an incredible motivator," she said, her fitness philosophy includes motivation, mindset, and creating a fun, inviting environment.

Like our other RydeOn! instructors, Michelle is a total fitness professional. With certifications from the National Exercise Trainers Association (NETA), Keiser's M3 Foundations Program, Spinning, and Mad Dogg Athletics, Michelle brought over ten years' of experience in teaching fitness classes to RydeOn! when she started teaching indoor cycling classes here when we opened.

“My goals are to help our clients meet their goals and to be an incredible motivator,” she said, and added that her fitness philosophy includes motivation, mindset, and creating a fun, inviting environment.

“Some people – very few of us, actually – can keep our motivation going all by ourselves, day in and day out. Most of us do much better at achieving our goals – all of them, not just our health and fitness goals – when we're surrounded by an environment that supports and encourages us. I work hard to provide that environment for every one of my classes,” she added.

Michelle creates that environment with a mixture of 80's and 90's hip hop and rock music and classes that focus on intervals, high energy work, and strength-building. She takes requests for music and makes sure that everyone knows they're welcome to work at their own pace.

When it comes to RydeOn!, Michelle said that she loves the “happy, feel-good” energy within our walls. “This place is full of positivity to live by!,” she said.
