"I have been training my whole life and can honestly say nothing has ever gotten me in this type of shape as fast and as strong as your Program. I have lost 30 pounds in 45 days! Thank you Michelle!!!" - Steve Becerra
"This Program has taught me how to change my eating habits to maximize my metabolism, and to eat truly healthy foods that will provide lasting long term health benefits. I have learned quite alot about the sabotaging effects that certain foods have on your body, as well as, the many benefits of other foods that I had never even tried eating before. The best part of the 90 Day Food Plan is that, unlike many diets that left me hungry and having uncontrollable cravings for bad foods, this plan actually leaves me feeling full and satisfied all day! I have not had any uncontrollable cravings, which has made it easy to stick to the plan. After 60 days on the program I have lost 27 pounds and reduced my percent body fat from 44% to 29% - that's 43 pounds of fat! I have gained 16 pounds of lean muscle mass as well which is helping me keep my metabolism up. The exercise program is challenging, and 5:30am is really early to be up and exercising, but Michelle and her trainers (and the other group members) make the workouts fun and interesting. We meet in different places each morning and do different kinds of workouts every day which keeps it from becoming routine or boring. You never know exactly what to expect which I enjoy! And the trainers are also very good at helping people to work at their own levels so that people are not going beyond their abilities until they are ready. Overall I feel great about myself since starting the program - I sleep better, have more energy, stay more focussed at work (get more done in less time), and people have commented that I seem less "stressed out" as well.
I would absolutely and enthusiastically recommend this program to others. It is the first program I have done that has given me the kind of results I want, and even better it is a program that I can easily see myself continuing to do for life!" - Debbie Purcell-Huynh
"In college I was in really good shape and enjoyed who I was. After getting married and having two kids, I ended up overweight and unhappy about the shape I was in. I had some limited success with diet programs but soon hit a plateau. I knew that to make any more progress I was going to have to commit to regular exercise, but I also realized that I would be unable to maintain it long term unless I found a program that was interesting and could be done early in the morning. I have lost 13 fat pounds, reduced my body fat by 5%, and I have gone down almost 2 dress-sizes! I love being able to walk into Ann Taylor (my favorite clothing store) and buy clothes off the rack again. Michelle has also introduced me to a healthy eating style. As a result of the program, I am much more aware of - not just the calories/fat/carbohydrate value of food, but also the overall nutritional value of fresh, unprocessed foods. As a result, even though my 90 day program is over, most of my meals are still based on the philosophy of the plan.
I've been left with a great sense of accomplishment. I can do this! I recommend this program to anyone! Michelle and her trainers are very good about working with everyone at their own level. I would encourage people to just try it. What can you lose? What could you gain?" - Eileen DeFeo
"I have been working with Michelle...over the past 3 years. I was drawn to her energy and enthusiasm for "well-being" vs. just a killer workout drill sergeant. She has made fitness at early hours of the morning...in the dark!...an exhilarating experience. We have logged many miles together on the trails and many hours of pushing through my personal barriers to succeed. When I started on Los Gatos Creek trail, I could barely run about 1/2 a mile without having to stop. Now I lead the pack up and around the hills focused on reducing my time, keeping my pace and making my workout "my time" for building a better me! Michelle's dedication to her students is evident and her drive for results is 2nd to none. You WILL see changes in your fitness level if you commit to consistency, eating right and striving for your personal best. The combination of weights, bands, cardio building, running techniques, yoga and stretching ensure a well-balanced regimen for all levels." - Heather Henderson
"Without a doubt, I have had more results with this program than working out in the gym and training for a marathon! It's truly a TOTAL body work out. I've never been able to get my stomach or thighs (I know, our toughest areas!) toned the way they are now. It really does feel great. I'm NOT a morning person, but I find once I'm there, I'm thrilled! The areas we go to are absolutely beautiful, and it starts my day off more energized. When I first started I thought everyone would be in this spectacular shape and I would 'lag' behind. Some were and some weren't but the bottom line is everyone was and are so kind. I DON'T do the taco bell 'run' anymore! And, I really can't say enough about how much I enjoy the program and your encouragement. Thanks Michelle!" - Teri Larkin, Fidelity National Title
"Michelle provides excellent outdoor training always changing the scenery. You won't get bored with the same routine. Good personal trainers are hard to find; Michelle has amazing amount of energy at 5:30 in the morning and it's contagious so it's worth getting up early in the morning to work out with someone like her." - Monica Maze
"As an athlete, Michelle's program has helped me rise from an average, middle of the pack racer to a podium finisher. The workouts are tough, and they reveal attributes about yourself that you never knew. Coming off of a 3-day non-stop expedition race, a summer of racing and self-led workouts, I was cocky. Thought I had it all dialed in for fitness. Then a friend recommended Michelle's workouts and OMG, the weak areas stood out immediately and I could feel it for days! Eight months later and I am faster, stronger, and getting ahead of the field. It's a great feeling. Thanks Michelle!" - Brandon Nugent
"Michelle, I cannot begin to express how wonderful you, the program and everyone of your trainers and staff are. I feel more joy, connection to myself and others, and feel that I have a more meaningful sense of accomplishment in my life. I felt that I had these feelings prior to participating in the "UBP" however, I was wrong.
I can really reflect back on how I felt before I started the program and how I feel now. No comparison. I am so much more aware of my presence, I feel more grounded and alive than I have in years.
The coaching, menu plans, cooking classes, food shopping trips, and encouragement have really contributed to my losing 30 lbs in two months. Initially I did not know what to expect other than I was going to show up and do as I was directed and told! My thinking was "Oh what do I have to lose?"
I never imagined that this was possible for me. I am still learning from everyone in the program and continue to make progress at my level . Thank you for allowing me to realize that I too can get my sexy back. "

This program has transformed me from a soft, slightly heavy, couch potato to a more aerobically fit, flexible, stronger human being.
I am now back into sports I gave up years ago because my poor health made them so uninviting to participate in, thank you Michelle!"
