Meet Coach M

My name is Michaela Robichaud and I am the Owner of Movement by M! Having worked in the fitness industry over 11+ years, I have found my purpose in helping people live happy and healthy lives. ​ As a health educator and personal trainer, it is my passion to help others be better versions of themselves.​ I’ve had the pleasure of working with many individuals from all walks of life and developed a passion to encourage, motivate, and guide my clients through training to live pain-free, strong, and adventurous lives.   

 

I am a firm believer that if we, as humans take good care of ourselves mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, then we will not only live a more quality life, but we can help take better care of those around us, too.​ Movement by M is more than just a gym. It is a place where you can increase confidence, build relationships, enhance your physical capabilities, and live a more purpose-centered life.

Channing Matthews, 39

I've worked with Michaela for over 5 years, and I couldn't ask for a better trainer! She always knows when I need a push, but listens to my needs as my body has shifted and changed over the years. 
Michaela worked with me as I went through a PhD, which was physically taxing on my body. 
​
Michaela set up a fitness and nutrition plan to ensure I stayed mobile and healthy throughout a stressful time in my life. I can't wait to see the ways she continues to help others succeed. 

Kelly Schwartz, 60

Working with Michaela during the last several years has definently imporved my overall health. When I was recuperating from breast cancer surgery she gave me exercises I could do at home. My doctors were impressed with my muscle mass, strength and told me to keep training!
​
I like that we talk about my needs and Michaela magically comes up with exercises to address any goals I may have. Aging is hard on the body but I feel confident that I will continue to lead a healthy and active life working with Coach M. 

Kristal Kilgore, 40

I was never a "gym person" until I started working with Michaela to regain confidence in my knees after some sport related injuries and surgeries. 
​
Eight years later and I am still coming because coach has created such a fun environment and the expertise she brings to our workout sessions are unmatched. I love the atmosphere and I continue to see the positive impact that training provides during my day to day life.

Rosemary Berardi, 85

Several years ago, I fell and broke my neck. I was on the search to find a trainer who would work with me to improve my gait and overall general strength to prevent another fall. 
​
I am amazed at the progress I have made and a huge thanks to my Coach's expertise and training philosophies. Michaela is one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I am forever grateful!

Getting a perasonal trainer was one of the scariest things I have done. I was overweight, completely lacking confidence, and sure my phsyical disability could not overcome. 
​
I have been working with Michaela for 10 years, and I finally feel like I have control over my life! Not only am I stronger phsyically, and mentally but I am able to complete 5k races, no longer need a cane to walk, my back pain is no longer holding me back, and getting up and down off the floor no longer gives me anxiety.
​
Thanks to Coach M, I realized that in order to grow, I have to go outside my comfort zone. 

Molly Motherwell, 65

I started working with Michaela after having rotator cuff surgery and losing 85lbs. At this point, I was ready to take exercise seriously again and I was on the search to find someone who could help me reach my goals!
​
I couldn't have found a better partner. Michaela is exceptionally knowledgeable about physiology and always creates safe, and effective workout plans. Beyond her technical skill, she is very personable, fosters a light atmosphere and is relentlessly positive. 
​
My sessions with Coach M are the highlights of my week and have become foundational to both my physical and emotional health. I highly recommend Michaela to anyone who is looking for a trainer who truly cares about their clients long-term success and well-being.

Sad about leaving your pet at home??? No need to worry. Odds are if you ask for permission to bring your dog along for a training session, I will most likely say Yes!!
