Review from Mary G.
Westmont, IL
7/6/2011
Back in February, I had to get measured for a bridesmaid dress... two seconds after I dropped the tape from around my hips, I called Michelle Blakely, president of Blakely FIT and trainer extraordinaire!
I'm not a worker-outer--never could motivate myself week after week--so I knew that I needed a kick in the pants and someone who would hold me accountable. I've been working out with Michelle twice a week for about 6 months now, and it's been an amazing experience.
Michelle, from start to finish, is a fantastic trainer. She REALLY listens to you, where you're at in your life, what you want from working out, and then tailors a program to suit you, including overall goals for your wellbeing that work with and go beyond the workouts she'll coach you through.
She is one of the most motivating people I've ever been around--she makes me LOVE coming in on Tuesdays and Thursdays to work out. Yes, truly, that from the gal who isn't a worker-outer. Encouraging, friendly, flexible, and a great trainer, she will push you to your limit without going overboard, and she's really concerned for the whole package: mind, body, and spirit.
I especially love that her approach is to incorporate fitness and wellness into her clients' lives. She's not there so you can lose 50 quick pounds (is there even such a thing)--she's there for the long haul, so you get real, lasting results...and the tools and enthusiasm to stick with your new exercise-included lifestyle!
If you've ever stood in front of the mirror and gone "meh" at your reflection but feel too unmotivated to do anything on your own, please call Blakely FIT! It's the best gift you can give yourself. Believe me: in the six months I've been working out with Michelle, the changes--both in my body and my frame of mind--are astounding and wonderful. I couldn't be more pleased with the result or the person helping me achieve them! -

I went to see Michelle three weeks before a trip to Mexico in February. She has me feeling fit and confident in no time. I had only planned on a few weeks for my trip but I liked her so much, I continued going. Michelle provides a thorough, challenging work out that doesn't kill you or hurt you. I have a disc herniation and she was always cognizant of it and worked around it to ensure a safe, effective work out. She is also makes it fun and interesting. No clock watching here! AK
