Ventura, CA 93003
I have been teaching fitness since 2001. I love what I do, I strive to bring variety to my classes and enjoy finding new moves and routines to share with my students and Clients every day. I have been blessed to live where health is a lifestyle. I specialize in TRX Suspension Training and Spinning, as a Group fitness Instructor I focus on Total Body Conditioning. I organize and run 7-10 day fitness retreats to Italy taking students to Tuscany where we experience the culture of Italy while training aggressively to enhance the experience. I recently relocated from the beautiful Island of Maui to Santa Monica, CA in November 2014. I am excited to further my fitness career as I continue to grow in my expertise of different modalities of fitness. I am 54 years young, living in the prime of my life and enjoying the ability to train many others in my same age bracket. It is now in life that it is necessary to strive for more fitness in order to not lose it. I love working with people who realize that they can stay healthy and fit for so many more years to come.

I was reluctant to try out a personal trainer at my local gym 2+ years ago - I hadn't had great previous experiences. I was looking for someone to work with me on flexibility, core strength and balance. Michelle was exactly who I asked for! She is knowledgeable, professional, kind, fun and supportive. Most importantly - knowledgeable. She knows how to modify exercise for "issues" but at the same time push for maximum benefit. Michelle has become my personal trainer and when I had a couple of injuries from vacation activities recently, I quickly stopped physical therapy because Michelle was doing all the same things the PT was doing and I'm back to 100%. Michelle genuinely cares about each and every one of her clients - it's not her job, it's her passion.

I've been a gym rat for 36 years and I can say without a doubt that Michelle is one of the most passionate fun trainers I've ever worked out with. Be it cycling, step, ball, TRX and nutrition (very important). Michelle is inspiring, knowledgable, very motivating and she is very in tune with today's training modalities. Some trainers get stuck in the old ways. I appreciate that she is consistent and open for the next new workout out there and is excited to share with her students. I believe that was a good trainer is all about.

If you are looking for a fitness instructor with an emphasis on customer service, look no further than Michelle Taylor. She has been my trainer for the past 5 years. I've celebrated my 49th, 50th, 51st, 52nd and 53rd birthdays working out with her. She pushes her students in group classes from Spinning, to TRX to PIYO all while understanding the goals and limitations of each individual. Her energy is contagious. She's got a passion to enjoy life in Italy; so much so that she persuaded her students to travel to Italy last year on her fitness retreat. The vacation could not have been better. Very best workouts ever were during her TRX in Tuscany Trip.
