For years, I’ve worked to shape a fitness approach that feels both purposeful and impactful, drawing inspiration from my own family. Watching my father, now 84, who still skis, golfs, and lives an active lifestyle, has only strengthened my commitment. He's always said, "Use it or lose it," and he truly embodies that mantra, even after walking with my mom through her final days with unwavering support. Seeing him maintain strength and mobility for both his own health and to care for her has been a powerful reminder of the importance of movement at every age.
My goal is to help others achieve that same level of independence and vitality. With small group in-home training, golf-focused body fixes to improve movement, and private sessions online or in person, my approach centers on helping people become "Forever Athletes."
**How does Pilates fit in?** Pilates, to me, is about learning purposeful movement that integrates principles like breath, centering, and control. When we can move well, we get to enjoy activities like golf, pickleball, and hiking for longer and with more ease. Strength training also plays a critical role, though Pilates alone doesn’t fully meet these needs. That’s why, with my background in Exercise Science and personal training, I’m adding more strength-focused options.

She really knows her stuff!!!” -- Kaylyn Morse
“I have subscribed to two other Channels before finding Pilates on Demand. This channel is amazing!!!!!The instructor has great queuing and I love how creative these workouts are. I don’t have time to drive across town to go to a session. This channel keeps me engaged and I enjoy the Michelle’s energy and humor. You can tell that the instructor is very passionate and comes with a-lot of experience. I just love it!” -- Jessica Hanika
“Michelle’s compassion for Pilates is infectious!! Nothing makes Michelle happier than choreographing a new ab or arm sequence and sharing her love of Pilates. This creativity comes from her vast knowledge of anatomy and Pilates. She explains the Pilates principles and encourages us to to incorporate these principles into daily life. I learn something new every class with Michelle which makes me want to learn more. My journey with Pilates continues to grow because of Michelle’s dedication to health and wellness.” -- Leslie Sloan
“I started doing Pilates classes four months ago and I also have done some privates with Michele. She is not only a great instructor but also a very motivating personal instructor . Michele shows a lot of expertise in her training. She know the muscles of the body well and has a way of encouraging me to push myself to stretch just a little farther or work just a bit harder. She tailors movement and positions to each individuals needs. I now am much stronger with more flexibility.I highly recommend her to anyone wanting to develop more strength and flexibility, toning and/or rehab.” -- Julie Gallegos
