Personal Training & Coaching in Person and Online
Hello! I am Michelle (they/them), nice to meet you!
I am a certified Pole Dance Coach and Personal Trainer, offering both in-person and online sessions, as well as workshops and classes.
Dancing has been a constant companion throughout my life, but nothing has ever excited or grounded me as much as Pole Dance. This creative and demanding movement discipline allows me to express myself freely, find peace of mind, and share the joy of movement with others. As a queer and neurospicy person, I am dedicated to creating supportive and inclusive spaces where everyone feels seen and welcome. I encourage people to explore pole dance on their own terms and discover their individual feel-good movement. My non-linear approach to teaching fosters self-reflection, feedback, and autonomy, supporting you build both confidence and competence in your desired movement skills.
I am committed to offering you both on- and off-apparatus training that is strongly informed by the best, up-to-date scientific evidence, while also being tailored to your individual needs and goals.
Ready to explore the world of Pole Dance, strength training, and movement on your own terms? Looking forward to hearing from you!

Comming back from a previous injury or dealing with pain? I am equipped to program exercises based on your goals that work around any barriers that are standing in your way.

“Very friendly and thoughtful trainer who is able to address each individual. Attentive and demanding, but without making you feel under pressure to perform. Quite the opposite!! After sessions with Michelle, not only do you feel like you’ve done something good for your body, but you also feel mentally great.”
Denise
“I attended the Pole Dance trial class and there was absolutely nothing that made me feel uncomfortable: the instructions were clear and motivating, Michelle promotes a healthy body image, there was practical help when needed, the support was individualized due to the small group size, and she has a good eye for what is needed – for me, it was very motivating for the future, and I left feeling happy and confident.”
Karin
“I find it admirable how much interest you take in the theoretical background (technique, anatomy) of the content of your classes and how you constantly further educate yourself in this regard. You ‘see’ so many things and provide extremely good and helpful corrections. I also like your open attitude towards all students and your positive and motivating nature, anyway! :)”
