"If nothing changes, nothing changes" This was the first quote Michelle sent me and this is so true. I have just finished my 4 week program and I feel fantastic. My skin looks great, my clothes feel better and I have lost almost 3 kilos and 5 cm off my waist. I have never really been overweight but I had noticed that I had put on a bit of weight around my waist and hips. I realised that after just having turned 40 if I did not do something about now it will just get harder.

I signed up for the 4 week "Kickstart" program. I was a bit nervous about sticking to a food plan as I had never been on a diet before and most diets I have seen in magazines contained foods that were not really appealing. I was therefore greatly  surprised when the eating plan arrived and it was not dissimilar from the foods I eat now and enjoy. My biggest challenge was always going to be cutting my alcohol intake as I love wine and would often have a few drinks during the week and lots more on the weekends. This however I found very easy in the end as I was feeling so fit and healthy the last thing I wanted to do was ruin this by having a bit night drinking or a hangover. I never really had realised how much weight this put on and effects it had on the skin and body because I just enjoyed it and considered it a social thing to do.

I had just bought some exercise equipment for home so Michelle put together a terrific program for me to do without leaving the house.Having someone put this program together for me gave me something to focus on and recording my training each day and results each week gave me the incentive I needed to stick to the program. I have just signed up for the 12 weeks maintenance program as I do not want to go back to my old ways and I have still some goals to achieve yet.

Thank you again Michelle for your support. Look forward to more of your inspirational emails and support.

Having become very dissasatisfied with face to face personal training and feeling that really I was not getting much support with what I wanted to achieve, I thought I would try online trainining.  Admittedly I was a little dubious but words cannot express how great the whole Glow journey has been. I joined Friday afternoon and Michelle contacted me that evening and had my programme to me that weekend.  Michelle gives so freely of her time and her knowledge, there is no little hidden extra costs for advice and trust me I asked quite a few questions!!!  Michelle would always get back to my emails promptly.  
 As for the programme I purchased the mini  4 week "I've got an event coming up" and phew the fat blasting circuit was AWESOME.  You certainly knew you were alive when performing this and along with the menu plan I felt as though I was more toned at the end of my 4 weeks.  Well I enjoyed my Glow journey so much I have just purchased another 12 weeks!!!
Thankyou Michelle

"I have previously worked with 2 other well known on-line personal training companies; your program absolutely blows them apart; your approach; designing something for us to get into which is realistic and forms habits that will last long passed the actual programs is awesome and the support is 2nd to none - probably 100 times better than both of the previous combined -thank you!" Kat Exmouth WA 

The Glow Program is just what I have been looking for. It integrates diet and fitness, keeps me accountable and gives me the tools to plan carefully. I’ve tended to get frozen with indecision about what’s best to do out of the thousands of exercise and diet options, so Michelle, the program and the planning tools have really pushed me through that barrier. I was doing a slim program + exercise at my gym, but they were not integrated together and I found I wanted accountability when it comes to exercise, not just food. So I am finding this system more motivating – and better value! Thanks Michelle, I look forward to future fitness with you.

 Hello Michelle,I feel like i could sit and have a coffee (what am I saying,green tea lol) with you and conversation would just flow.  

You are an  amazing lady who has done an incredible job with my self esteem; that is what I have conquered and am proud of the most.

Michelle you keep it SIMPLE,no  hassles just solutions. Your support is un heard of. I feel empty knowing my 12 weeks are up but in saying that you have given me confidence to just be me,look after me,make time for me. I know the sun will still come up tomorrow if I  don't get something done. I am a calm happy,savvy,new woman. 

I can't thank  you enough  xxxxxxxx       Kerri 39 SA  

Hey Michelle, 

Well I just wanted to update you. I feel great and I find that the food is just “what I eat now”. I know what portion size is good, I know the good choices from the bad and I am relaxed about it. 

I have kept the weight off, and all my friends out here are amazed and are constantly complimenting me and using me as their incentives to get into shape. So it is really confident building.  

Thank you very much for all your support and knowledge, 

I enjoyed it, and I came out of it a different person. 

I will continue to recommend your program and website to any one who is interested.

I had previously tried another online personal trainer who offers “one-size-fits-all” packages. I found it boring, with little to no motivation and little to no results.

Michelle’s programs are great! She is always coming up with something fun and more challenging. You are not doing the same exercises simply using a heavier weight. She has provided me with many recipes and offered more. I always look forward to a new program and am far from bored. I am constantly challenged and can’t get enough. My only warning is – It is addictive.

Thank you so much Michelle, for all your motivation and hard work.

Cathlin Jakovcevic, 31 Midarie WA

Michelle was an excellent online trainer, she never misses a point on her feedback and always offers excellent advice, Michelle helped me to take my training to the next level and break through the plateau I had hit.

Always inspirational and providing the support as and when you need it means that if you are having a bad day, Michelle is quick to get back to you with everything you need to know before the problem gets the better of you.

Thanks a million, you’re fabulous at what you do, keep up the great work at Glow!

Just wanted to say a big thankyou to you michelle for being my trainer on line for the last 12 weeks. I have always been a sporty person, gone to the gym, group trained but after a while I started getting bored and needed that bit of a extra push. I didnt find it easy and thats what I wanted.I challenged myself each week and saw the changes I was after within 6 weeks. After 12 weeks I feel fantastic and will take away with me lots of new exercises and most of all faith In myself to do anything I set my mind to. You are inspirational michelle and I feel lucky to have crossed your path. I would highly recommend anyone that is after a new challenge to try glowwomensfitness.

Michelle – I have a new Testimonial for you:

“I originally signed up to lose a few kilos and tone up, and was surprised at how quickly I started getting results.  Michelle provided a nutrition plan, a fat burning circuit, a weights program, and also a cardio program which started me running. There is also a Glow Women’s Forum to interact with other women who are doing similar programs, so you can share your experiences and encourage one another. 

After only 11 weeks on the program, I ran in my first 5km fun run, finishing in just over 28 minutes.  Since then I have participated in many fun runs ranging from 4 -14km and I have also competed in a mini triathlon. 

As my goals keep changing, Michelle tailors new programs to help me reach my goals. My next challenge is to prepare for a half marathon, and with Michelle’s help I’m confident I will achieve this goal!”

Darlene McGown, 35 North Croyden Victoria

Having just completed the 12 week program with Michelle I feel great, heaps more energy, a lot more toned and overall a lot healthier.

Michelle provides great support throughout the program with a lot of email contact and weekly checkups that keep you on track, as well as being able to chat to a network of ladies who are all striving for the same results you are. I have no doubt if you follow Michelle's advice and stick to the program you will see fantastic results.

Thanks so much Michelle for all you have done to set me on the right path to a fitter, healthier life.

Jodie Dean 24 Qld

I have always exercised but lately had lost my motivation, stopped challenging myself and generally became a bit lazy.

Michelle's program got me kick-started again, giving me guidance as well as encouragement and goals to aim for.

I am feeling so much stronger, fitter and more energetic, and don't even consider missing a workout.

The other thing I liked about the Glow Women's Fitness approach is that in the past, trainers I have worked with seemed to believe that working out had to be the highest priority in your life, and could be quite disapproving if other things got in the way occasionally.

By contrast, Michelle understands what women's lives are like (busy and a constant juggle!), works with that and gives plenty of support, motivation, and encouragement for what you do achieve on the way.

The Glow Womens Fitness Online program has been the best thing I have ever done for my health and fitness. I have somebody there for me with friendly advice and encouragement and motivation. 

Michelle quickly replied to my emails and had my program up and running within a couple of hours.It was fantastic; I could start the program straight away while my motivation was high. 

I now think about my food choices and I am really enjoying my exercise. I look forward to my weekly reports to Michelle, knowing that somebody is going to be proud of what I have achieved for the week and reply with a positive response. Even though I have never met Michelle, I would call her a friend.

Thanks for your great program, Michelle. I found the program easy to follow, challenging and more importantly, I got results in just four weeks. I found the client contact helpful and motivating and you were always timely with your replies. Congratulations on your great service and I look forward to working with you again in the future. Leanne, 34

I initially signed up wanting help to lose 6-7 kilos and tone up a bit, and after only 5 weeks I had already lost 5 kilos and really noticed a difference in my shape and fitness. After 8 weeks I had progressed to running for 25 minutes (when I started I could only run for 2-3 minutes), and then Michelle suggested I think about entering a fun run. I never dreamed of being able to run 5kms when I started! And then in my 11th week I competed in my first 5km fun run, and Michelle is now helping me train for an 8km fun run! Michelle has been with me every step of my journey, providing ongoing support and advice, and each time I achieve my goals, I can't wait to share my results with her. Its great that Michelle also shares her life with us and I wish her all the best for the Melbourne Half Marathon in October!

I was initially pleasantly surprised by how quickly and professionally the whole program was delivered - the questionnaire, the exercises, the diet. The skeptic in me thought "this will be it;  I won't hear anything more”. 

I was surprisingly proven absolutely completely wrong! Michelle it seems that there is just not enough that you can do for your clients! Weekly progress reports, uplifting advice, emails replied to within the hour, help at hand immediately no matter what.   

The service that you provide is impeccable and exceeds all expectations.Whilst I have not seen huge results due to this bug I have you have kept me motivated and made me feel like I am the only client that you have with continual inspirational emails and I know that should the need arise you are just a phone call away. 

Thank you Michelle and continued good luck to you. I know you will do well because you are not only well intentioned you deliver above expectations on your service. 

Pam  44  Rowville Victoria 

Within a day of signing up for an online fitness program, I received an email from my trainer, exercise schedule and food menu. So it encouraged me to get started immediately. Michelle kept in contact every couple of days, which triggered reminders and motivation for the new path of fitness I was taking and it was great to  have someone remember you and offer help where required. Her replies are prompt and full of hints and tips to helping me reach my fitness goal. She’s been friendly, understanding, motivating and has helped me start on a new lease on life, creating balance.

Encouraging, Supportive, Inspiring! I have only been on the program 3 weeks but am already noticing changes in my energy levels and I feel fantastic. I would recommend the tone up program to anyone who wants to tone up. I am enjoying every minute.
