Fantastic experience: Great instructor and great class. Thoroughly enjoyed it!!

Fantastic experience: In my particular case, I needed a stepping stone to get into some shape for further exercising. Although during the sessions it did not seem strenuous, I was always pleased to feel the after-effects of using muscles that had not been used to stretching. I loved the music but was a little disoriented by the constant changes in routines. (must come with age) The group was friendly and very accepting of one another. Lesa Bablak

There are so many extras included beyond classes that make the online experience better than being there.

Fantastic experience: BALB / Michelle is an excellent and very motivating fitness coach. She is highly experienced and does a great job at providing modifications throughout her exercise programs as well as making at home workouts fun. I needed an exercise program I could do at home, on a very busy schedule with young children and Michelle meets those needs while she has also exceeded my expectations! The BALB community she has created is very supportive as well. Working with Michelle has increased my self-confidence and improved my fitness level - exactly what I wanted - all without a hyper focus on weight loss, more so body positivity!

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s energy for life and fitness is positively contagious!! The BALB programs are fun, have an excellent variety, cater to every fitness level and also create a great sense of community amongst the women participating. Also worth mentioning is the killer playlists and commentary that keep you smiling and motivated throughout your entire workout. I highly recommend to any woman who wants to enjoy fitness again or just get started!

Fantastic experience: Love the workout class! Pushing yourself while having your babies around and making mom friends and having a fun time. Michelle is sooooo fun and relatable. Very welcoming class and people.

Fantastic experience: I have always dreading at home style workouts, but Michelle makes it easy and enjoyable ! Fun moves with modifications if needed and amazing tunes

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s classes are EXACTLY what I was looking for in terms of online home exercise classes! As a busy new mom there are only so many hours in a day for ME time. Her classes are played LIVE a few times per week with the option to replay at any time; whatever works with your schedule! Every class is different, not one class the same. They are fun, energetic, and effective workouts leaving you excited for the next! No matter your fitness level Michelle offers modifications to meet your needs so that everyone is equally included. It is the true definition of a unique fitness “community” where all ladies have the same attitudes, interests and goals! BALB also has other programs ie. Stroller fit, boot camp, and yoga during the year to add even more fun! I am so happy I joined this group! Each workout has made me better both physically and mentally everyday and allows me to be the best version of myself and the best mom to my little one! :) I cannot recommend the BALB online studio enough! :)

Fantastic experience: Michelle’s energy and personality has helped me be excited to work out again! Her workouts are fun and challenging! I started with the stroller fit class and now jumping into her online classes which have been great!! Highly recommend joining the BALB community if looking for great support and fun workouts!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Michelle at Be Active for just over a year. I have learned so much about exercise and have become a much healthier and fitter person because of Michelle's guidance. And....at the age of 50, I can now hold plank for 2 minutes !! I recommend any of Michelle's programs for anyone interested in improving their health and fitness. Couldn't have done it without you Michelle :) Valerie

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love the support and community I have gotten from joining the BALB online classes. I have so much fun and look forward to the workouts. Never boring and Michelle is such a great motivator. So glad a friend introduced me to BALB - I’ve never loved working out as much as I do now!! Such an inviting group of ladies, never any judgment. If you’re thinking about joining I would definitely recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I have been a part of BALB for only 3 months now but the experience is like no other. I have loved every minute, from the daily classes, community and support from other Members and overall approach and support from Michelle. The changes I have made have been a direct reflection of the BALB community and all it and Michelle have to offer. I have already encouraged friends to join and will continue to share with those around me the role BALB has played in changing my life, for the better.

Fantastic experience: Joining stroller fit was the best postpartum decision I made for baby and myself. Michelle creates an inviting and safe environment for moms who are looking to get fit and socialize. Michelle’s energetic and her workouts are amazing with noticeable results. She works with you, your baby, and your body. I’m so happy to be apart of BALB. Thank you Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is as real as they get! Her positive energy is something she brings to each work out. She is knowledgeable, encouraging and understanding! Her work outs are something I look forward to and the community she has created is empowering for all. Her programs are tailored in a way that accommodates all fitness levels and the access to ‘replay’ classes helps women and families stay balanced. Michelle is incredibly motivating and easy to connect with!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is fantastic! Her sessions are upbeat, fun, and incredibly informative. It’s a great sweat session that teaches you exercises that you can do there and on your own! Such a positive addition to any day.

Fantastic experience: I joined Michelle’s stroller fit class during my first maternity leave in 2019; and was so excited to see that she was able to host another round this season during my second maternity leave. The energy of her classes is so motivating and every week there is something new! From day one, Michelle makes everyone feel like they’ve been a part of her community for ages, and has an incredible way of making everyone feel welcome and empowered. She always offers modifications to exercises and encourages everyone to go at their own pace. 5 stars, 10/10 recommended!

Fantastic experience: I have absolutely loved my Be Active Live Better journey this far! Michelle is such an amazing leader and provides such encouragement, guidance and patience in that she’ll have you doing things you once wouldn’t thought you could! Her online classes are packed full of love & laughter and her in person bootcamp a make me feeling amazing! I 100% recommend joining the BALB team!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is so motivating and encouraging, I always end in a way better mood after doing one of her classes! Working out from home is so convenient while still having the accountability of doing live workouts. I recently finished an in person bootcamp and loved it! Michelle brings so much energy and positive vibes to her space :)

Fantastic experience: Michelle is a very dedicated, inspiring and motivating instructor. Her online classes, be it live or watching the replays, provide generous instructions and modifications if needed. The classes are always fun, with great music. I highly recommend Michelle.

Fantastic experience: I love Michelle's workouts and the fact with all of the new rules she is doing on line classes and pre-recored membership. She is there to keep you motivated never to give up. She keeps it FUN. Always there to answer questions. If you haven't tried Be Active Live Better I highly recommend you do.

Fantastic experience: Michelle is a fabulous instructor who keeps me motivated to do her classes daily! She’s enthusiastic, positive and REAL! I’ve been a member for a year and a half and doing classes 5 days /week … Michelle continues to motivate and challenge!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Quality

Fantastic experience: I absolutely love being a part of the BALB community. NEVER in my life have I been so consistent with fitness classes, let alone the 6 a.m. club! I honestly feel the only reason I've stuck with it is because of Michelle. Her classes are challenging, never the same and FUN!! Michelle is motivating, encouraging, extremely enthusiastic and so positive. Classes are online but I feel her energy radiate through the screen. BALB is more than just fitness classes, Michelle teaches us how to live a balanced lifestyle. It's ok to have that glass of wine and eat that piece of cake. Everything in moderation and everything with a positive mind. I'm so happy I found this online, interactive community.

Fantastic experience: The on-line classes are amazing. The instructor is always energetic, knowledgeable and very positive. Doing the live class in the morning is a great way to start your day and if you can't make it, you can follow the recorded class for an amazing work out at any time. The classes change daily so you get a full-body work out and the music is a great mix of classics that gets you moving. Everyone in this community is so supportive to help you reach your goals - give it a try, you won't regret it.

Fantastic experience: So much fun, great energy and tons of learning both about fitness and nutrition. Michelle is a busy mom and finds time to share tips and tricks about being efficient, fit and healthy!

Fantastic experience: The online classes that Michelle does are fantastic! I moved to online classes at the beginning of covid lockdown at one of my lowest points of the year. She showed up everyday with a new class, new moves and with so much energy and motivation. It changed my year. I lost weight, gained strength, took my life back and gained confidence. She’s adapted to an online platform so well and has done it in a way that makes you feel accountable and wanting to show up. I was never a morning person and now I am because I want to catch it live (though you don’t have to). She’s built a community with her members and gives it all of her attention. I can’t recommend this enough! Sign up and change your life!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: You will not regret joining! Michelle cares about her members mental and physical health and goes above and beyond to help you become the best version of yourself. It is so much more than online fitness classes and the sense of community is invaluable. The live heart rate monitors help to keep me accountable and are incredibly motivating. Classes are always changing, high energy and adaptable for all abilities and fitness levels. Michelle does a great job providing modifications and options if you don't have the specific equipment. Thanks so much BALB, can’t wait to continue my fitness journey!!!

Fantastic experience: I am LOVING the BALB community!!! Michelle is amazing and it’s such a great bunch of like minded, motived, positive women supporting each other and making gains!!! Do yourself a favour and TRY it! You will NOT be sorry!!!

Fantastic experience: With the online classes I have the Flexibility I need in my schedule. Be Active keeps you healthy not just physically but also mentally with a variety of workouts that mix up the spice to your daily routine!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is very positive and motivating. Whether you are a beginner, experienced or out of shape, she makes the classes attainable for all levels of ability. I highly recommend BALB!

Fantastic experience: I have been a member of Be Active Live Better since the first day Michelle provided classes. Be Active is not just a typical studio, instead it is a community where I have built many friendships. It is a community that encourages me to work towards achieving my best self, while having many laughs along the way. Michelle offeres several classes that are directed to various fitness levels. Her classes are very well planed and no two classes are alike. I have recommended several friends throughout the years and all of them have been more than satisfied with their experiences. If you are looking for a place where you can begin your fitness journey give Be Active Live Better a try. You won't regret it!

She goes above and beyond and you can feel that this isn’t a job for her ...it’s a passion! So grateful to be part of this community!

Fantastic experience: I joined BALB March 2020 and it was the best decision I could have made. I struggled to make time for myself to work out, (busy working and two young kids) but Michelle give me motivation and accountability every day to show up. Work outs are amazing, effective, sweaty and the best way I could start my day. With such a great variety of exercises I know I’ll target all my muscle groups and Iove the variety offered - always something new to try. I am grateful for this new life changing habit! Thanks so much Michelle!

Fantastic experience: Michelle is always very professional and keeps it entertaining! Great classes!!

Fantastic experience: I can’t say enough about Michelle and Be Active Live Better! After being referred by a friend, I reached out to Michelle to sign up for 2 classes per week. I was welcomed graciously by Michelle and the whole BALB community! No judgements, only support and motivation. Within 1 week, I was reaching out to Michelle to sign up for more classes! Although you are working up a sweat, the classes are fun! I recommend it for anyone...no matter what your workout background or history is! Can’t wait to continue with Michelle and this very special group!

Fantastic experience: For someone who hasn’t worked out in quite some time, it’s easy to get overwhelmed when starting to work out again... but Michelle and the BALB community make it so easy and comfortable to just MOVE! She often encourages you (with fun dance moves as well lol), offers modifications during the workouts and checks in to make sure you have all the tools necessary to make the most of your workouts! “One is better than None” is something Michelle said in one of my first workouts and it really stuck with me... I’m here and I’m moving, no matter what the pace! I’m so happy I joined!!!!

Fantastic experience: Positive: Communication , Professionalism , Quality

Fantastic experience: Michelle and her expertise helped me change my life. Her programs are motivational and they work. Michelle's commitment to her business and helping clients achieve their goals is why she is the best out there!

Fantastic experience: The daily workouts are fantastic and a lot of fun. Michelle is very motivating. The early morning workouts are great as it keeps me energized throughout the day!

Fantastic experience: I’ve been a member of Be Active Live Better for 2 years now and highly recommend it to anyone looking for a personalized, motivating, and fun way to get your body moving and see quick results! Michelle is so lively and knowledgeable, and every workout is such a great experience. You know you’ve hit the jackpot when your workouts turn into a spontaneous dance party! There are so many classes for every individual—Tabata, Weights, Spinning, Cardio, etc. My favourite is Tabata—it’s 60 minutes of intensity and really makes my body feel great. BALB is definitely the place to be if you want to feel part of a community, especially during hard times when we are all isolated from each other. Thank you Michelle for providing such a positive, motivating and fun atmosphere—and of course for kicking my butt every day!

Fantastic experience: Loving the option to go live the mornings I can- or do after work when everyone is in bed! Michelle is easy to talk to, motivating and inspirational. She’s full of energy and sometimes I’m laughing so hard that I have to take a break from the exercise. Really happy I finally joined! Some weeks are better than others but the positive is.... the accountability has proven to help ME feel part of something they is inclusive and fun. Highly recommend!

Fantastic experience: In the past I have not particularly enjoyed online workouts. I’ve never found them very motivating and very easily could talk myself out of participating. With BALB, and Michelle specifically she has managed to help keep me motivated, engaged and on track with my goals. I also very much appreciate that it really does feel like a community with whole health focus as opposed to physical activity only. I appreciate all the tools she has provided and support that is available, and of course the variety of her killer workouts!

Fantastic experience: Michelle has a wealth of knowledge and experience teaching fitness. I have been attending classes for a few years and really enjoyed them. Once Covid hit Michelle took her classes online and they went from good to amazing. Energetic and intense, she always reminds you that you can do it! She not only offers excellent workouts, she provides accountability and support from nutrition to personal growth. I highly recommend her classes. . .

Fantastic experience: Be Active Live Better is about more than just working out. It’s a community and lifestyle. The workouts are awesome but the feeling of inclusiveness and belonging is even better. I’ve always felt supported and close with the other people who are part of the BALB community. Michelle is one of the most motivating instructors I have met. She’s always reaching out to check in and see if there is anything she can do to support you. Highly recommend giving the classes a try!

Fantastic experience: These workouts are great and lots of fun too! I find them very motivational and Michelle is an inspiration! :)

Fantastic experience: Amazing Studio! I love being apart of the BALB community. I love the in studio workouts in the morning. The online workouts are incredible during these uncertain times. Heart Rate monitoring is fantastic to help push limits and improve performance. Michelle is fun, vibrant and motivating. The classes are always different and target muscle groups and endurance. I wouldn't go anywhere else!

Fantastic experience: The best around!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing classes with Michelle for over 2 years now – and REALLY enjoy it! I started with Baby and Me class, moved on to all different kinds of classes, from Tabata to Strength, Cycle Yoga and Cardio Box, even got my husband hooked and had my kids do classes with her, which they loved. Every session there is something new, something familiar at various times to fit everyone’s schedule. All the classes I have taken have been great, all the different instructors are amazing and I truly enjoy every single class. Michelle is always fun and energetic and knows how to get the best out of you! I’m so happy I started this journey with her and her team!

Positive experience: I really enjoy the high energy and physical challenge. It is obvious that Michelle puts a lot of effort into balancing and varying the routines. She connects well with her clients. Studio is bright, clean, and well-organized. Very much appreciate that the fitness classes are women-only.

Fantastic experience: I have been lucky enough to complete almost four sessions, two personal training, with Michelle and Be Active. Live Better and have just signed up for another. For me, her various classes with equally as experienced trainers and experts are more valuable than any gym membership. Michelle takes the time to get to know each client, their strengths and weaknesses, and works with them to maximize their potential. While she can definitely be tough and knows just how to push you, she is also incredibly kind, accommodating and invested in your health and wellbeing. Taking these classes are the first time, ever, I've been dedicated to fitness and health outside of school sports. Big kudos to Michelle and her team!

Fantastic experience: I have completed 2 full sessions with Michelle and look forward to starting the third next week! Before joining, I found working out to be boring, tedious and repetitive which resulted in being unmotivated. Michelle creates a warm friendly but most of all fun atmosphere while pushing you to reach your fitness goals and encouraging you every step of the way. She is constantly reinventing the workouts with intensity as the weeks go on. Michelle's love for fitness, health and wellbeing is evident through the connections she makes with each client in her classes and the time she takes to offer knowledgable advice. Furthermore, I appreciate the comradery that we have in each class and that Michelle accommodates everyone equally no matter what their age, sex or abilities are. For myself personally, I have seen my body change and become stronger in the last 2 sessions and most times I leave a class feeling proud that I was able to accomplish what Michelle had set out for us. The studio is bright, clean and very inviting. So happy to be a part of the Be Active Live Better family! Thank you Michelle for all that you do and keep living your dream!! Rhiann
