Testimonials

See what some of Michelle's clients have to say about her!

I have been doing Michelle's core strength exercises for three months now, and I can tell ...you might as well not even ride your bike seriously if you aren't incorporating a good core workout as well. It really is that essential. Your leg strength is useless if you don't have a strong foundation to push against. A strong core utilizes your leg strength more effectively than riding alone, and in order to be efficient and make the best use of your time this has to be a part of your training. Period.
--Jason Donald, Pro Cyclist, Slipstream/Chipotle Cycling Team

The difference between professional training and going-it-alone made a world of difference for me. In the first year, Michelle took my riding to a whole new level and I took 1.5 hours off my Leadville 100 time. It was worth every penny.
--Jenn Dice, Government Relations Director, IMBA, wants to break the Leadville 100 record

I work long hours and can find more excuses not to work out than you can imagine. A friend recommended Michelle and not only has she helped me lose 16 inches in various parts of my body. She cares about her clients and will help you accomplish whatever goal you are trying to attain, from extreme athletes to menopausal women who just want to feel better about themselves.
--Irene Shaffer, realtor, REMAX of Boulder

Michelle brings a full career of direct, practical experience, extensive specialized education, and unbounded enthusiasm to the table. She is a joy to work with. Under her tutelage I won a NORBA National race at Big Bear and took a second place at Mammoth. I was the 55+ Boulderracing.com cyclocross champion in 2003, and placed second in 2004 and 2005.
--John Daily, Professor and Director of the Center for Combustion Research, University of Colorado, Boulder

Michelle has been essential to my success as an ultracyclist. Her highly professional, customized and flexible approach to training planning enabled me to achieve my ultracycling goals while also running a business (which involves travel) and becoming a father. Michelle is a master at making the most out of limited training time.
--Urs Koneig, PhD, MBA, Redpoint Business Coaching; Seattle, WA

Michelle Grainger helped me bounce back from two pregnancies through a combination of weight training, cardio suggestions and sound nutritional advice. I gained lean muscle mass, strength and endurance while having fun with the program and staying motivated.
