"Working out with Michelle not only changed my physical appearance but made me realize that my fitness came from the inside out.. Encouraging me to succeed with each workout and the challenges of my life as well... She is my 'life changer'!"
Daniel Sheehan
Model/Fashion Designer/Retailer
"When Michelle asks how you are feeling, never say "good". Because if you do, she will kill you. I'm 56 and in the best shape of my life because of her! Love her!!"
Mindy Schultheiss
Executive Producer
"Every week, Michelle kicks my ass. I'm covered in sweat! She pushes and challenges me to the point of almost throwing up, yay!! Great workout:)
Jeff Wright

"I've been training with Michelle for over a decade and i can honestly say no two workouts are alike. With her vast knowledge and continued growth, she creates fun and innovative routines. I always look forward to my sessions with her. "
Carrie McCarthy
Operations Manager
"Before I started with Michelle, I had never been with a personal trainer. Actually, I had pretty much not set foot in a gym. Michelle is the real deal. Not only is she kicking my ass and getting me in the best shape of my life, but she's making me have fun while doing it."
Sky Nellor
Model/DJ
"I’ve worked out very heavy on and off for three decades …with trainers and without…and in the past two years Michelle has challenged me to do things I never thought a man my size could do. At 50, I am healthier, stronger and fitter than when I was 30. Every day she finds some new way to push my limits…and makes me laugh along the way."
Tom West
CAO AFI
"Michelle is the absolute best and one of the most accomplished personal trainers i’ve ever met. She takes complex workouts and breaks them down into simple, doable steps that anyone can perform. Every time I work out with Michelle, I leave feeling energized and strong…as well as feeling like i’ve just had my ass kicked!"
Josh Mossotti
VFX Artist
"Michelle is a pro! Bringing life to your "old school" workouts with a creative new flavor, she manages to tailor each workout specifically for the client introducing new and fun ways to keep each session different from the last. I have been training with her for about a year now and I can honestly say that she has me feeling challenged, energized.... And REALLY sweaty! If you're looking for someone to freshen up your stale routine, Michelle is the girl for you!"
Gavin Rees
Talent Producer
"I've been working out with Michelle for over 20 years because she is a highly trained and skilled fitness/health expert who knows what she is doing. Her workouts are innovative, push me to my fullest potential, and of course, keep me sweating. As a scientist, I can also say that I have evidence to show for the effects!"
Lisa Meredith
Senior Behavioral Scientist
"Michelle is the meanest person i've ever met. She sounds like a songbird, but she's really a beast. She will hurt you ( in the best way ) and you will love it and come back for more the next day."
Julie Feingold, Fashion & Wardrobe Stylist, 33
"She's tough, she pushes you and she enjoys every minute of it!! Michelle is not only a fantastic trainer, she's extremely versed and educated in the human body and how it functions...THAT separates her from the pack. I always enjoy getting my butt kicked by her!"
Derek Milne
Anthropologist
"My entire family as well as my circle of friends is part of the extended Michelle Siegel experience. Her devotion to each of us as a trainer is world class. My young adult sons leave their workout with Michelle exhausted and her creative application of specific ways to work out particular muscles is always amazing and inspired. "
Erica Huggins
President of Imagine Entertainment
"Michelle has brought a level of dedication and intensity to my workouts which i haven't experienced before. Even after undergoing knee surgery, i still felt like i was not only in capable hands, but also more motivated than ever to push harder in a safe and challenging way. "
Patricio Hoter
Actor/Writer/Director
"I always get a great workout from Michelle and even though i may know what body parts we're working on any particular morning, she will challenge my regular routine by throwing in different exercises that i don't normally do and totally kick my ass. She pushes me to get out my comfort zone and there aren't many people that can do that."
Mike Preston
Actor/Writer/Director
"Michelle makes working out fun for me. Her unique approach challenges me to exceed what i think my potential is. She listens to my goals and helps me achieve them. I have noticed a huge difference in the way i perceive fitness due to her diligence in teaching and coaching."
Paulo Anthony Grayson
Actor/Writer/Director
"Michelle really knows a lot about the body. She's constantly researching and reading about physical health. She knows how to pin point specific muscles that you never knew existed. There's no lift this and run that. It's all very smart and unique workouts that make you stronger than you even knew possible."
Jake Strauss
Actor/Writer/Director
"I first started seeing Michelle 9 years ago after a major health crisis. My health was so low and my weight so high, i could barely walk across the parking lot. There was never any judgement at my not perfect body, only support and transformation. Not only are her workouts smart, challenging and fun, she personally takes the time to keep me accountable to my health and wellness. Results are real and lasting with Michelle. "
Jazmin Almario
Wardrobe Stylist
"Michelle enables me to feel strong in ways i never thought possible. Every workout pushes me just outside of my comfort zone, but her constant encouragement motivates me to keep going and i always surprise myself. She's a great trainer AND a great person!"
Jenn Stryker

"Michelle is a great trainer! She is very knowledgeable and thorough. The routines are always different and challenging. She adapts the workout to my body needs. Michelle has a great energy level that keeps me motivated and coming back for more!"
Glenn Reisch

"Having gone to different personal trainers throughout the years, no one compares to Michelle. She pushes me to do things i never thought were possible! She got me in the best shape of my life and helped adapt my exercise plan to always keep my body guessing and changing. "
Melanie Fitzpatrick
Publicist
"In high school, i started training with Michelle to strengthen myself for baseball. She constantly pushes me to do harder and more dynamic exercises that work and stabilize muscles i didn't even know existed. And even though i have stopped playing baseball, for some crazy reason, i can't stop working out with Michelle...it's totally addicting!!!
Eli Strauss
Student
"I love working out with Michelle. Every session is different and always hits the whole body. What i really appreciate is how attuned Michelle is to my needs, abilities and mood as well. She's always positive and encouraging and that motivates me. And if you train in person, you get treated to an unbelievable 5 min massage at the end of your session:)"
Vicki Oleskey
Retired Educator
"Been training with Michelle for over 15 years and she has helped me in so many ways. From getting stronger to helping me with my back problems among others. She absolutely rocks!"
Dori Tsang

Jocelyn Tate

"Michelle? She's a Monster. And I can't quit her. I’ve always been athletic but have never felt stronger.”
Abby K. Lance

"If you want to sweat, lose weight and always be challenged and pushed to your limits, then Michelle is the trainer for you!!! She has pushed me to do things that I never thought possible and always steps it up the next time!!! You are always soaked in sweat when you are done with your work out!!!"
Shemaya Mandelbaum

"Since I've been training with Michelle, my backside has never looked better in white jeans."
Shani Bayne

“Michelle’s intense & challenging workouts will make you scream on the inside but you don’t want let her see it! Best workouts EVER! “
Glynis Crawford, Writer
"Michelle challenges you to work harder than you ever have without pushing your body too far. It's uncanny! She has a deep wellspring of moves, knowledge and experience that allows me to reach new fitness heights and still have energy for everything else. I thought my most-fit days were behind me, but now I know I can keep hitting new goals and I love it!"
Benoit Demouy
Talent Manager
"Since committing to these intense workouts with Michelle, I am down 34 lbs and feel stronger and better than ever. I can honestly say as I stagger away in a pool of sweat after each of her workouts that I look forward to the next one. Thanks Michelle!"
Robert Krzeski
Television Finance
"Michelle was my wife's trainer and I was slow to come around, I had never had a trainer. She worked with me on everything from my nutrition/diet to tackling my weight and address my injuries. I would have to say I've never been in better shape!! I'm 56 years old . I would give Michelle the highest recommendation!!"
Michael Roche
Musician/Tattoo Artist
"I've always liked to punish myself physically when training. Not having fun unless I'm dirty and bleeding. Michelle brings that enthusiasm to her training programs. I never know what I'm going to get, but I know it's going to be brutal and fun."
Nat Suckley
Post Production Sound
"If i felt the way I did after a workout with Michelle in any other context, I would go to the hospital. I once couldn't move my arms for two days after a workout yet despite this, my arms felt stronger than they had before."
Sam Huggins
Student
"On days when I don’t think I have it in me to have a tough work out, Michelle manages to trick me into it and I’m always so grateful at the end! There are no excuses with Michelle, even if you’re injured she can work around the injury and kick your butt. I know I couldn’t do it without her challenging me and trusting that she knows what I’m capable of, even when I have doubts."
Alicia Frohmader
Executive
"I have been working with Michelle for nearly 10 months. Outside of the training sessions and due to random bad luck I have hurt my back twice, been sick twice and tweaked my ankle all during that same time. However, due to her ability to customize the workout, I have been able to continue training and progress towards my ultimate goal of losing weight and getting in shape."
Kristopher Van Vactor
Sr. Project Manager
"Michelle has inspired me to push myself with each workout. And with each workout, I learn more about how you really CAN push your limits. And I try and bring the same intensity to the gym that she instills in me. Like many others, i was a little scared to workout with her at first because I saw how much harder she challenged everyone she was training…now I can't imagine training with anyone else!"
Moira Hurley
TV Commercial Production Manager
"Don’t pick Michelle to be your trainer if you are looking for someone to coddle you. Choose her because you want to be stronger, leaner and tougher. She’ll push you to try new things, and before you know it you’ll be doing more push-ups and lifting heavier weights than you ever thought possible, all while building endurance that you didn’t know you had. She’ll make a difference in how you look and feel. More importantly, she’ll teach you how to make that difference every day."
Randye Hoder
Writer
"Been working out with trainers for 20 years, have never found someone as knowledgeable and driven as Michelle. She's always pushing herself to help deliver the best results possible. She is simply the best!!"
Chris Myers
President of Brand Development
"I have worked off and on with Michelle through my 20’s, 30’s and now in my 40’s. She’s one of the few constants in my life and there’s a reason for this, she is the best. I’m not the type of person who loves to work out but with Michelle I really don’t mind it. She knows exactly what to say to motivate and focus me and she won’t take any BS or allow me to wiggle out of doing something uncomfortable. She knows me and really understands how I want my body to look and feel. Now if I could just listen to her……….."
