Starting online personal training felt daunting for me, especially since it was not only my first time with online training but also my first personal training experience ever. However, working with Michelle has been truly transformative. From our very first assessment session, I was so impressed by how she analysed me online. She immediately identified what I struggle with, what needs improvement, and what my strengths are. Everything she said made complete sense, and it was clear that she truly knows what she’s doing. For the past seven years, I’ve struggled with my fitness journey and becoming my best self. I realised that if I really knew what I was doing, I would have had results by now. That’s why I decided to put aside what I thought I knew and accept help. With Michelle as my personal trainer, I don’t just hope to get results – I genuinely believe I will, thanks to her professional guidance and determination. Online training may seem intimidating at first, but I’ve experienced far more positives than I ever expected. There’s no anxiety of being watched at the gym, and you can do your sessions in the comfort of your own home – even in your pyjamas if needed! For someone like me, who is naturally shy and doesn’t enjoy performing in front of others, Michelle’s kind, encouraging personality and expertise make me feel completely comfortable in front of the camera. For the first time in seven years, I feel like a breakthrough is coming. Michelle truly goes out of her way to help you. Her coaching, resources, knowledge, accountability, and advice are all top-notch. I was always hesitant about hiring a personal trainer because these days anyone can get a quick certification, but with Michelle, it’s different. Her years of experience and hard work speak for themselves. I can confidently say that Michelle is the best, and I am so grateful I signed up with her. If you’re thinking about starting your fitness journey, I completely recommend her. More...

Michelle is an amazing instructor and coach I feel so energized after sessions and I haven't felt this good in ages. She put together a personalised program for me so that I can train by myself through the app but at the same time she is tracking my progress and coaching me throughout. This motivates me to do the sessions as I know she is watching my progress. I would never had done something like this by myself. I would recommend Michelle to all my family and friends 🤗 More...

Michelle is in my experience unique in combining the capabilities of a traditional Personal Trainer, certified Pilates practitioner and leading edge EMS aware consultant. When I began working with Michelle over two years ago she performed an assessment of my fitness and devised a programme specific to me Lose Weight Fix some leg and balance problems in conjunction with local physios I travel a lot so the combination of one to one in person and “virtually” enabled me to keep up with the exercises through strong motivation techniques. Together we were able to devise a regime of PT “fusing” resistance training ( important for a septuagenarian ), with Pilates and supplements that has improved my performance and increased my energy levels way beyond normal for my age. I wish I had started this five or ten years ago and I’d look even younger than people tell me I do now. Michelle’s concentration of longevity for those of my age and a gradual build up to “healthspan” . It's about the length of time a person lives in good health, focusing on quality of life as much as longevity. Trying to live not just longer, but healthier. More...

Very impressed with my online sessions with MGPT. While I naturally like to be pushed hard in my sessions, Michelle is very intuitive and perceptive on my physical and mental state each session and adapt the programme accordingly. Michelle’s background has enabled us to build a programme which combines pilates, mobility, functional, kettle bells and weights. More...

As someone who has had many personal trainers and done several training styles and classes etc, nothing comes close to the powerhouse that is Michelle! I leave every session on a shaky exhilarated high knowing that the time we just had together was worth every cent. After a few free sessions to see where I was at with my fitness, form and strength, she tailor made a plan specific to me. Unlike my past experiences where someone just counts reps, her attention to detail and form is unmatched. I've never met anyone with so much knowledge about the human body! As a qualified Pilates instructor she's not only helping me get the body of my dreams, but also correct my hip ailment at the same time. So not only will I feel glorious in my skin but eventually be pain free too....I cannot recommend her enough! :) More...
