Hi, my name is Michelle
About me
I am a BCRPA Certified Personal Trainer and GGS Menopause Coaching Specialist with a BA in Psychology, dedicated to helping you break through barriers and achieve your health and fitness goals. At 42, I’m a mom of three energetic boys (ages 15, 13, and 11), married to a local church pastor, and sharing our home with two large dogs and a tuxedo cat—so I understand what it means to juggle a busy, full life!
Have you ever felt stuck on your health and fitness journey, unsure how to move forward?
My training approach combines the science of strength training with personalized nutritional guidance to help you build confidence, increase energy and strength, and create a healthy, balanced lifestyle that lasts. Drawing on my psychology background, I’m passionate about helping you overcome both physical and mental roadblocks so you can get unstuck—and stay unstuck for good!
Let’s unlock the best version of you together.
The GUF Lifting Room
The GUF Lifting Room is my cozy home studio in Port Coquitlam, where I train clients one-on-one or in pairs. While I do offer online training, in-person coaching is something I will always prioritize. It’s both a passion and a principle of mine—because I believe that a truly great personal trainer gains invaluable insight and experience by working directly with individuals of all ages, backgrounds, and fitness levels.
I proudly call my clients the GUF Gritty Girls because they are some of the toughest, strongest, and most determined people I’ve ever met. Watching them show up, put in the effort, and crush their goals inspires me every single day.
A safe space
When you train with me, I’ll push you to work hard and give you clear, actionable steps to achieve your health and fitness goals.
But we’ll also have fun along the way. Our sessions are a safe space where you can show up exactly as you are—sharing your wins, struggles, and everything in between.
There will be plenty of laughter, and if you need to shed a tear, that’s okay too—you wouldn’t be the first! 😉
Most importantly, there’s no need to be anyone but yourself when you’re with me.
