                                          NICOLETTE VAN DYKE - Lost 26lbs, 9 Inches!

                                          "I have lost 26lbs and I feel awesome! I feel awesome for a number of reasons.  First of all my body looks great and I have way more energy.  It is also so much easier now to buy clothes I like.  On top of that I am much happier and I feel more confident.  I had successfully lost weight in the past, but the weight always came back.  The difference this time is I didn't just follow a diet.  I took a more holistic approach.  For the first time in my life I tried a combination of exercising, dieting, and coaching.  I always thought it was just a matter of following the right diet but that turned out not to be sustainable.  Being healthy and looking good is not just a physical thing - it's a mental thing.  I found that out when I was introduced to Michelle.  Michelle taught me that you need a combination of training all the muscles in your body, respecting yourself and eating the right types of food.  Give Healthy Girls Training a shot.  It's working for me!"  Nicolette Van Dyke, Oakville, ONT

                                          MICHELLE FLINT - Lost 30lbs, 4% Body Fat, 5 Inches!

                                          "I have been working out with Michelle for nearly 5 months now and I have lost 30 pounds! I have lots more energy, and I feel so much more peaceful and positive in my life. I'm really in tune with my body now too. Where before I used food to cope with unpleasant emotions and challenges in my life, I now no longer need to eat to make myself feel better. I went from a size 14 to a size 8. It was an awesome feeling throwing out all my size 14's, 12's and 10's from my closet. It won't be long before I'm throwing out all my size 8's! Michelle is  such a positive and motivating Trainer who is a model of what she teaches.  If  you're considering personal training just start. It took me 2 years to get back  here and I feel amazing! Baby steps at first, but once you get going it's awesome!" Michelle Flint, CA

                                          "I have lost 22lbs and counting.  Michelle has been an angel in my life!  Our paths crossed for a reason and that reason is to learn and grow from a woman who is truly doing what she was meant to do in life.  Food, activity, mental wellness and living my dream are all priorities in an otherwise very busy life of mine.  I am honoured to have Michelle on my support team.  There is no finish line and the journey has been fun so far."  Adina Ingram, Oakville, ONT

                                          PAULA KNIGHT - Lost 6lbs. Down 2 Dress Sizes.  Lost 4 Inches

                                          "Wow! You can't imagine how great I feel and it is all because of Michelle! When I turned 50 I decided I needed to make some changes in my life. I wanted to look  better, feel better, and be more productive. At five foot two, I was 20 pounds  overweight, single, depressed and I smoked. All I wanted to do was sleep. Now  after finding Michelle not only am I looking better and feeling good about  myself, I have all this energy! I have lost 6 pounds, 2 dress sizes and 4 inches  off my waist and hips. I also went back to school and stopped smoking! People  have noticed the positive changes in me. I would never have believed I could be  so excited about getting up in the mornings to work out but it's fun and  exhilarating. I just see it getting better and better. Thank you Michelle!" Paula Knight, CA.

                                          "Michelle is amazing! She taught me how to live my life in a healthy manner and helped me to incorporate challenging but fun exercises (which I really
                                          like)  into my life that are mentally, physically and emotionally empowering.  Michelle  has shown me how to love myself, my body and everything else in between." Kellie Lee, CA

                                          JANET PHILLIPS.  Lost 7lbs.

                                          "Before I started training with Michelle I wasn't motivated to workout at all. I was a big stress-eater and I didn't believe I could lose any weight since I'd  tried so many things with zero results. But I wanted to be healthier for my daughter so I signed up with Michelle and in just 8 weeks I have noticed a  significant change in my body. I have toned up my muscles and my endurance is so  much better. I do a 4 mile run every Sunday with my dogs, I no longer have jiggly bits, I am much more defined, especially in my arms. I've lost 7lbs and counting, and I feel much more relaxed despite my high-pressure job. I no longer  feel like the big blob I once did and I don't eat when I'm stressed. Michelle's  mind-body approach to training has really unlocked my unhealthy relationship  with food which was big for me. Michelle is a motivating trainer who really  cares about her clients - she's not your typical 'drill sergeant' trainer which  I like. She gets me in touch my emotions and my thinking. Her focus on the  mental and physical relationship made a big difference for me."  Janet Phillips, CA

                                          EVELYN RAMERIZ - From walking with a cane to skiing!

                                          "My name is Evelyn Rameriz, I am 58 years old. I began working out with Michelle a few months ago. Prior to my training sessions with Michelle I couldn’t balance  on one leg, jump, bend down to tie my shoe, or participate in one of my favorite  activities; skiing. This was due to a condition called Reflex Sympathetic  Dystrophy Syndrome (RSDS) which I suffered from for nearly 10 years. RSD usually  follows an injury which triggers an immune response and symptoms associated with  inflammation, burning pain, increased skin sensitivity, stiffness and swelling  in affected joints. It also affects  mobility and I had to use a cane to get  around. After just a few weeks of training with Michelle not only can I  bend down to tie my shoe and perform up to 20 jumping jacks, I can also balance  on one foot and ski!! Just last week I went skiing in Lake Tahoe with my husband  for the first time in 10 years and it felt incredible! I am so proud of  myself and what I have accomplished! Working with Michelle has helped me to feel  happier, more positive and stronger than I have in a very long time. My mind  feels great and as a result of my success I have started writing a book to  inspire others with RSD that there is hope. Michelle has helped me in my journey  back to living a positive, healthy and happy life. She treats me like family and  she guides me not only in my training but encourages me to be the best I can be.  She challenges me in my training sessions and I have done so many different  types of exercise that have benefited me in balance, flexibility, and cardio  fitness, and I continue to improve my mobility and strength every day. I can  also bend my knees now and actually sit on my feet, which I never thought I  would ever be able to do again. This may not seem like much to some, but for me  it’s a big  deal and it shows me how much I have improved in such a short time.  Thank you so much for everything Michelle."  Evelyn Rameriz, CA
