Michelle
Fitness is a showcase site for Michelle's competitions
and modeling photos. After Michelle became a fitness trainer
and performance nutritionist specialist, the site
became a place where clients could see what services were
available. The site was developed by Nancy Georges in 2001,
before Michelle hit Fitness America Nationals and
was developed as a modeling and competing portfolio site.
Her fitness career was developed as
an aftermath, due to her experience competing. Once she achieved
an award winning physique many inquired about how she did
it in only eight weeks. Her career in fitness began in an
apartment complex located in Rockville, Maryland. After experiencing
some life changing personal transitions in her life, she began
taking yoga. It was happenstance that the building she was
living in asked her to substitute a yoga class. At the time,
Michelle had sold Massage Express, LLC and
was in transition with her career and open to new possibilities.
She had taken classes with John Schumacher at Unity Woods,
but had no yoga teaching experience. After agreeing to "try
it", It was to her surprise that within six months she
was teaching 25 classes a week and had a following of over
350 people. She became a yoga and meditation teacher full
time and offered classes at popular studios in the Washington
Metropolitan area. She became certified in both Yoga and Pilates.
This combined with a body and energy work background helped
her design an innovative mindbody program called Synergystics.
It
was after a trip to Sun Valley, Idaho where she spent her
time at spas, taking yoga classes and doing kickboxing with
a celebrity trainer. She decided to expand into other types
of group exercise to include kickboxing and body sculpting.
She began teaching various types of classes within several
Health Clubs. She unexpectedly developed a large following
confirming that she had found her "niche".
It was
after watching Fitness America on ESPN she contacted a local
fitness show. After meeting the director, she was encouraged
to enter and told she had the perfect symmetry to do well
in a bodybuilding figure show. Overweight at the time, she
envied women who could shape their bodies and stand proud
in bikinis. With proper nutrition and exercise, she was ready
in eight weeks to do Bikini America with the Fitness America
Organization and went national her first show. Within six
months she also went national in fitness with the NPC (National
Physique Committee) in both figure and fitness. Competing
was life changing and inspired her to create MichelleFitness.com.
