Michelle Lavergne

Michelle has been my trainer since July 2020 and for the first time in my life, I am not "dieting" and I feel great in my body. She's knows her stuff and makes it super easy for a clumsy beginner like me to make progress ? I'd highly recommend her to other women who are tired of fads and want a sustainable long term solution ~ not to lose weight but to adopt a better lifestyle for good!

I was recommended to meet Michelle via a friend. I was looking for a Personal Trainer that was very familiar with female fitness and working with conditions like PCOS which need a more tailored approach. From my first meeting with Michelle at Core Collective it was clear that her approach to working with a new client was grounded in empathy and non-judgement. Michelle took the time to connect with other practitioners I was already working with, namely a nutritionist, to ensure she had all of the information required to create our program. We had a detailed discussion about my goals and the complimentary program that Michelle was going to design to ensure I could achieve those goals. It's not just gym work, Michelle has worked with me on a number of wellness habits including increasing my NEAT and improving my sleep to compliment the work we do together in the gym. I've found the gym programmes Michelle has created challenging yet empowering. I've enjoyed the combination of strength training, pilates and interval work. It's been exciting seeing the amount of weight I can lift increase while the weight on the scales goes down. My general movement has significantly improved and as I come to the end of my first 12 week program I am really starting to see the physical changes. Not only that, many of the other health issues I was suffering with have also decreased. Michelles continued support and accountability has gone far beyond the gym and I'm thankful to have her on ”my health team”.
