Love Your Bod has totally upped my fitness game. I have a busy schedule and they have really tailored their program to make it easy to get in a workout from home!

I began training with Micaela in 2014 shortly after she moved to Kingston. Over the next few years, I worked out using various plans Mica created for me based off different goals (bulking, leaning out, pregnancy) and got to be in the best shape of my life. I never felt guilty, pressured or deprived when life happened, if didn’t work out a few days, or ate fast food, as I had with other trainers. Mica understands that fitness should be part of your balanced life so you can meet your fitness goals while still enjoying other aspects of life. Regardless of what your fitness goals are, Mica just wants you to enjoy workouts, life, and your body!

I can honestly say that working out with Mica has changed not only my body but my mindset towards health and wellness. Mica’s workouts are tough, but fun and easily adaptable to my schedule. She emphasizes healthy eating but discourages restrictive diet plans that aren’t compatible with a social enjoyable life. For the first time, I’ve actually been sticking to my workouts plans, and have noticed results not only in my body tone and definition but in how I generally feel about myself and my health. For me, the true benefit of working out with Mica is not just weight loss, but the feeling that I am stronger, healthier, and better able to live an active life!

Over the year I had Micaela as a trainer, I had a recurring back injury that prevented me from doing common exercise motions.  Like bending forward (hooray to not doing crunches?!). Rather than being daunted by my limitations, Micaela actually enjoyed the challenge of modifying my workouts to things I would be able to do and that would speed my recovery and keep my progress moving forward.  That same adaptability and focus on appreciating what your body CAN do right now – and not getting bogged down on what you can’t do… (yet?) – is being carried over into the Love Your Bod workouts.  Being able to easily adapt the LYB workouts to what I can do today, with the equipment I have, keeps much of the benefit of working out with Micaela in person – the workout names even give a hint of her (slightly cheesy) sense of humour.

Not only is Micaela fit and beautiful, but she is compassionate and very down-to-earth. I trained with Micaela once/week for 12 weeks to shake up my workouts. It was a gift to me! I’m often on the road, so she designed workouts to fit hotel gyms with minimal equipment but high intensity. Fellow hotel gym goers would often comment “what are you training for?” or “that looked really tough”. She introduced equipment that I’d had never used before and challenged me beyond what I thought I could accomplish.  If you’re looking for a trainer who cares about you and your fitness/nutrition goals, you’ve found the right person.

I have trained with Micaela for four years and she has helped me to achieve more than I ever imagined I could. I feel so lucky to have gotten to work with such a dedicated and supportive trainer. Micaela sets the perfect example of what healthy, realistic fitness and nutrition should look like. She uses authentic methods of getting in shape and her positive approach to working out is truly inspirational. I left her gym after every session feeling stronger, accomplished, and proud of myself. Working with Micaela is the best decision I have ever made for myself and I am so excited to continue my fitness journey using her new LYB Program!
