“Once upon a time, long, long ago… Well okay, it was 2011. I had just had hip replacement surgery and had as much physical therapy as my insurance company would allow. But I felt I still needed additional help to get back to 100%. My physical therapist advised me to avoid personal trainers and instead look for an exercise physiologist. Voila! Michelle and Human Form. What a great find! I not only improved my hip function but have found a great community of people who challenge, encourage, and help me be my physical best.
Since then, I’ve had a couple of injuries (NOT exercise related!) that affected my ability to function at my best. Human Form to the rescue! A groin strain and a pulled hamstring tendon have been slow to heal, but the HF coaches have been awesome in helping me recover by modifying and customizing the routines. I’m getting better and doing it safely, correctly and pain free.
Having been a Certified Fitness Instructor for many years I know that there are different levels of expertise, and not all trainers and instructors are well qualified. However, the coaches at HF have excellent credentials. Also, there is an extensive assessment before starting any workout program here, so exercises are appropriate for your level. And yearly re-assessments make sure you know when you’re ready for a bigger challenge.
I’m a dental hygienist, have a degree in health education and have worked in professional theatre. Currently I’m a Mary Kay Consultant and a voice actor. I guess I can’t seem to decide what I want to be when I grow up! I enjoy working out with people of all ages, sizes and fitness levels who encourage each other. I love that I’ve made good friends here and I look forward to working out, staying healthy and having fun. Well, except for squats! LOL”
