MEET MICHELLE: GROUP EX INSTRUCTOR
With over 20 years of experience, Michelle brings a wealth of knowledge and passion to our fitness community.
As one of ONLY four cancer exercise specialists in Tennessee, - all four currently work at North River - she plays a vital role in our LIVESTRONG at the YMCA program, empowering individuals affected by cancer to regain their strength and energy post-treatment. Michelle is a personal trainer, and outside of LIVESTRONG at the YMCA programming, she also instructs Outdoor Bootcamp at North River and Pilates classes Downtown!

Starting her journey at the Downtown Y as an early morning bootcamp instructor, she quickly moved up to group exercise coordinator and eventually became the project manager for LIVESTRONG at the YMCA for our entire association. Her dedication to fitness and community shines through in everything she does!
When she’s not leading classes, Michelle enjoys spending time with her daughter Hailey, or exploring the great outdoors.
Michelle said it best: “Working out is like recess for adults. Fitness made fun.” Join her for a class and discover the joy of movement!
