Shorouk

"Before training with Michelle, I struggled to stay consistent with workouts—ADHD makes everything, especially fitness, feel overwhelming. But Michelle completely changed that for me. She has this incredible way of making training fun, engaging, and actually doable. She doesn’t just tell you what to do—she explains why it matters, how it helps, and makes sure every movement feels right for your body.

Her experience shows in everything she does, and she somehow balances being super knowledgeable with being one of the kindest, most supportive people I’ve met. Sessions with her don’t just feel like workouts—they feel like time spent with a friend who genuinely cares about your progress. If you’re looking for a trainer who gets you, keeps you motivated, and makes fitness enjoyable, Michelle is the one!"
