Client Review’s

Go from struggling to staying consistent with online training!

From struggling going up the stairs to being able to do pull-ups at 40 years old…


As a busy mom of 4, I get that you probably don’t have much time.

I get the challenge of doing it all and feeling like you have no time for yourself. Because I was there once.

After my third kid, I was really struggling to manage everything and put myself on the back burner.

I was working part-time while my husband was in school full-time and doing the military reserves, so the kids & taking care of the house were mostly up to me.

On the days I was home, the kids were like wrecking balls around the house and it was hard to keep them fed before they were hungry again. (Right, they are like eating machines)

On the days I would work, I would get home and make dinner, and clean up, and it felt like I had no time left to work out or take care of myself.

But one day as I went up the stairs and was out of breath, I knew there had to be a way to keep it simple so I could fit exercise into my day.

I realized some exercise is better than no exercise.

I mean walking up a flight of stairs doesn’t take long, so I didn’t need to workout for a long time.

I wasn’t looking to run a marathon, just to keep up with my kids and make it up the stairs without needing to catch my breath.

So I started with quick workouts and eventually worked up to about 30 minutes most days.

I stayed consistent and pretty soon, I was feeling strong, I was dropping that “mommy weight”, and was in better shape.

And this year, at 40 years old, I was able to do pull-up and enjoy

vacation with my kids and do all the things that they did.

If I stayed on the same trajectory I was on, I might have

avoided this tower and other fun things with my kids.

As a trainer & health coach I know that exercising CAN

be quick and effective. You don't have to spend hours

in the gym, workout so hard you can't walk the next day,

or doing the same boring workout everyday.

And when you start exercising the right way, it can make a huge difference in your energy levels and confidence.

Don’t let another month or year go by!

Client experience

Heather went from trying different things and never staying consistent to sticking with her quick 10-30 minutes workouts for almost a whole year.

When you start knowing exactly what you need to do, have everything laid out for you, and have someone you reach out to for support at any time you will find the difference between starting and stopping and actually sticking to something that is sustainable. →

Live training versus on-demand personal training

Live training requires you to...

  • Take time to drive to and from the gym

  • No flexibility in your training time

  • Pay for a gym membership in addition to paying your trainer

  • Wait for the equipment you want to be available for use if the gym is busy

  • Pay $50+ each time you see your trainer

  • Have child care

The problem with this is that if you are working out at least 3 times a week, that is a lot of time & extra expenses...

But with on-demand personal training, you don’t have to go through all that.

Technology makes this possible.

On-Demand Personal Training allows you to...

  • Not worry about people watching you

  • Workout without the extra driving time & get it done in less time

  • Not have to wait for equipment

  • Not have to experience distractions or food temptations on the way home

  • Not have to pay for a gym membership

  • Sustain your workout plan due to it being easier to workout anywhere

  • Workout when it fits into your day

I have an app where I create custom workouts for you and you will get videos of me teaching you how to do each exercise correctly and be able to track your weights and reps.

So, you can do your workouts when they are convenient to you and you don’t have to pay $50+ every time you need to workout.

Hear from my client Elisa about her experience working with me!

“Michele has helped me cut 2 minutes off of my 1.5 mile run as well as guided me to running 20 minutes without walking! I’ve been sticking to her workouts for 10 weeks and I’m starting to notice my body change and my muscles are getting stronger! I just had a baby in August and her workouts have eased me into a healthier lifestyle. I also enjoy the app as it is super user-friendly. Having the app helps to keep me accountable and then the weekly check-ins are super nice to have because I can discuss my struggles and improvements which helps me as well! I totally recommend Michele Riechman for your lifestyle journey! ”

BONUS: Improve & Simplify your Nutrition

When I work with on-demand personal training clients, they not only get personal training but also habit coaching.

Right within the app, clients can not only TRACK workouts, but they can track their healthy habits too. 

Naturally, my clients become more aware of their nutrition habits & are able to create a sustainable, healthy way of eating without even dieting. 

And sustainability is the KEY to looking and feeling great, not just one or three months from now, but for years.

““I’m down 8.5 pounds in one month! I’m certainly feeling a little more like myself. Not nearly as bloated and my cravings have settled down. I’ve been focusing more on not “restricting” my food but watching portion sizes I eat.””
— Jessica

BONUS: Reduce Stress

Exercise not only shapes your body, but it also lowers stress AND makes you more resilient to life's stressors.

And the best part is... with the app- making time for exercise is no longer stressful because you can workout anywhere, anytime.

With the app & my personal training on demand, my clients are able to keep stress low by...

  1. Ditching decision fatigue and having their workouts planned out them

  2. Having support & accountability when struggles come up

  3. Simplified nutrition strategies (no complicated diet)

  4. Optional 2-minute daily deep breathing meditations to calm their nervous system and refocus their mind.

  5. Optional yoga classes. Yoga gets you a great workout but also lowers stress, boosts the immune system, and improves your flexibility and balance

“I enjoy the deep breathing & meditations. They are quick and help me to settle at the end of the day.”
— Kevin

Reviews

  • "I feel I’m really benefiting from your approach…I’m getting stronger and feel better in my body. It’s very empowering, and exactly what I have been needing. I'm able to go on long walks and have less aches & pain in my body."

    Elisa

  • “Michele’s workouts were easy to follow and they were the just-right challenge. I was extremely happy with her support & accountability. She would check-in on me throughout the week and was very helpful when I had questions. I felt all the changes I’m making are things that I can sustain and keep doing. I also really enjoyed the deep breathing and meditation exercises and found that I was able to de-stress and have more energy after them.”

    Rachel

  • "I absolutely love Michele’s customized workouts. She puts together exercises for me every week based on my personal needs. Her app has habits and check-ins to keep in contact and tweak things if needed. Definitely highly recommend her for all your workout needs."

    Julie

  • Not at all! Your workouts will be designed for you and your goals based on your personal training assesment. These workouts are customized, so maybe Monday you want a 15-minute beginner core workout, Wednesday a 30-minute strength workout with no squats, and Friday a yoga workout that is for a beginner. We will create that for you. No 2 clients will have the same program.

  • Absolutely! A monthly subscription is created to make billing easy and you can cancel anytime before it renews.

  • The four main workouts to choose from are strength training (with hand weights, body weight, or therabands), yoga, high-intensity interval training (HIIT), and relaxing/stretching based. Movement like walking can also be added in. Cardio may also be added in but is not the main focus. We will work together to design an exercise program that you want to do.

  • We start right where you are. So that may just be adding movement and walking to start with. Then we might add in 5-10 minutes of strength training and eventually work up to more. My goal is to find the just right challenge for you, so you keep coming back to exercise.

  • If you are released from your doctor to move and exercise, we can start within your limits. For example, if you can’t stand, we can create a program around sitting. Also if you have more of an old injury generally adding in gradual movement and exercise can help tissues to heal and your body feel better. When you have chronic pain and you don’t exercise, muscles get tighter, you get weaker, and it can actually increase your pain. We can discuss any concerns and specific injuries on a free call or you can send me a message.

  • If you have a supportive coach, you will find that you are able to do so much more for your health than you can do on your own. When you get clear on exactly what you need to do and stop wasting time on things that are not helping, you will see that time becomes less of a struggle. As a mom of 4, I try to keep things simple & effective. Most of my clients only workout 10-30 minutes 3-5 days a week.
