My goal is to challenge myself mentally and physically.  I am a 36 year old mommy of two very active little boys.  They are the joys of my life, but when I started to find myself always in pain and not being able to keep up with them, my heart was breaking. After having my last son, I was always sick with intense stomach pain, constant headaches, fatigued, joint pain, and just in tons of physical pain.  I would go to doctor after doctor and they would run test after test, but no one would have any answers.  Three years went by – back and forth to doctors, running tests, doing blood work and still nothing.  Than at my breaking point of throwing my hands up and just saying I give up, thinking this is how I will always be and feel, I found the most amazing Dr. who really listened to me and gave me answers. Now with the answers in my hands, I knew I had to make the first step to making changes and a difference in my life – and that is where training with Michelle has made such a difference.

Michelle is amazing! She is so motivating and inspiring. Her unbelievable smile and zest for life greets and grabs you every time you are around her.

Her wealth of knowledge is so deep that she not only challenges your body

but your mind and soul as well.  The workouts she takes me through are so intense that they push me to my limits each and every time we are together.  Even when I train on my own, I hear Michelle’s words carrying and motivating me. When we started together, I let Michelle know that I have Diastasis recti (which is the separation between the left and right side of the rectus abdominis muscle, which covers the front surface of your belly area.  But I refer to it, as my little alien – as from time to time, it likes to make an appearance and pop out. My famous little party trick!) along with a hernia.  I was told that I needed surgery to repair “my alien” but Michelle was so determined that I wouldn’t, she did some research and found exercises I could do to help.  When we started, I could put three fingers into the separation (attractive I know!) but now I can only get one and half in!  That is exciting and I have done it without surgery!  I love that I can share things with her on any level and she always makes me feel good. I have shared times when I have run into people and they have taken notice of my changes and how Michelle yells and screams with such excitement, it makes me work harder and be better.  She is my inspiration in every way! With Michelle’s guidance and never ending support, I know I can make the changes I really want.  She is my rock!

I love coming to BB3 to do my workouts.  The friendliest people always greet you before your intense workouts.  The vibe in the gym is not like any other gym I have been too.  You know that when you arrive, you are getting your trainers all and true best!  Everyone that is there is there for the same reason – to be challenged and to transform his or her bodies.  Billy Beck III has done a fantastic job with his facility and the staff he has surrounded us with.  Billy has such an intense passion for health and fitness.  His knowledge and understanding of the human body is just mind blowing!

Having the support of my best friend and wonderful husband, Ricky has really taken this journey to another level.  It is always hard to make changes in your life, but if you don’t have the help and support of your loved ones by your side, it is even more difficult. Ricky has never once over the years complained when I was in pain and not feeling well.  I have always had his unconditional love and support. I am truly blessed!  He even rally’s our boys to tell Mommy how wonderful she is doing and looks! I love when my four year old slaps my butt and says, “looking good Ma!”   One night, when we were talking about how things were going, Ricky told me how much he admired me for how I was doing and handling the challenge. He told me I was so calm and focused but not stressed or obsessed with my results. He was so right!  As I said in the beginning, that this challenge was more for me than just a challenge. It’s deeper. I wanted this! I NEEDED THIS!!! I am relaxed and comfortable, knowing I have all this love and support around me.  I know when this challenge ends – my journey will continue. I will take so much knowledge and strength with me that my changes will continue. My attitude, both physically and mentally has been changed forever!  This has truly been a life-altering experience for me and I am so excited that I chose to ‘LIVE GREATLY’
