Hi, I'm Michaela!
I haven’t always been the girl lifting heavy weights or running for funsies.
For a long time, I struggled with my body image, falling for quick fixes that don't work and living in a constant spiral of restricting and overdoing cardio.
Change really came when I learned that that movement isn’t punishment.
Movement is medicine.
When I discovered strength training, balanced nutrition, and sustainable habits, everything clicked.
I got stronger. I felt better.
For the first time, fitness actually fit my life.
Now, as a NASM CPT and PT Tech, I help other women find that same freedom.
The Barbelle exists to help busy women move better, feel stronger, and finally enjoy fitness without falling into the trap of the all-or-nothing mentality.
What I Do...
I help women ditch the all-or-nothing cycle of fad diets and guilt-driven cardio so they can:
Feel strong without fear of getting “bulky.”
Move through life with more energy and less pain.
Actually enjoy the process of getting fit & healthy.
What This Means For You...
Workouts that build strength and confidence and fit in your schedule.
Nutrition that works with your lifestyle, not against it.
A coach who's been in your shoes & knows how to help.
The real goal is to get more folks moving and feeling better!
What's Included:
1:1 Training Built Around You
Every workout is designed with your body, your goals, and your movement patterns in mind, so you’ll finally stick with it and see progress that carries into real life.
Personalized Nutrition Guidance
No endless restriction, no banning foods you love. You’ll learn how to fuel your body in a way that actually tastes good, leaves you satisfied, and keeps your energy up.
Pain Free, Stronger Movement
You'll train smarter, not harder, learning proper form, corrective strategies, and mobility work so you don't just look stronger, you also feel better.
Strategic Cardio
We'll tailor cardio to boost your endurance, support fat loss, and make you feel strong without running yourself into the ground. You might even find yourself enjoying it.
Mindset & Habit Coaching
You'll build routines that feel realistic, confidence that lasts outside the gym, and the discipline to keep going (in ways that work for you) even when life gets messy.
Ongoing Support & Accountability
No more “falling off the wagon” and starting over. With me in your corner, you’ll have someone to keep you on track, celebrate your wins, and remind you that you’re capable of more than you think.
”After years of struggling with diet and exercise, finally a plan that works.
Tremendous results. I was having shoulder and knee pain, but the workouts have helped significantly. I've learned to fuel my body with the right amount of food. Overall, I've seen a great improvement in my health since beginning 1:1 coaching.”
