For me becoming more healthy was not the primary reason for starting my fitness journey. Going to the gym allowed me to feel better so I can do better. It allowed me to gain control when I had none. There are so many things I can’t control in life.
What happens at work…What happens in my personal life…How people react to me…What people think of me…
This all affects how I feel about myself and at the end of the day. What I say to myself is what determines whether I think I am a good person or a bad person. There were points in my life that made me feel like there was no better future. What is the point of moving forward when there is no light at the end of the tunnel.
That feeling of having no grasp as to how my life is going to turn out…That feeling of incompetence…That feeling of staying STUCK!
It wasn’t easy having to carry that type of mental baggage around 24/7 at the same time not wanting others to know because I don’t want to feel like a burden. Imagine that…Imagine having to feel that daily.
On top that! I ignore, put aside and deny that this is my reality so what did I do? I drown these sorrows away by…
Indulging in entertainment…Watching tons of Netflix…Binging on food…Drinking…
Seeking self pleasure and YES, drowning myself with WORK and being BUSY is also an excuse. If all this is true for you as it was for me then ask yourself “Are you happy with how you feel about yourself when no-one is around, when you are by yourself at the end of the day? For me the answer was NO.
This became my driving force to start gaining control. The first thing and arguably the only thing that we can control is our own health. I started working out consistently, researching and educating myself on nutrition, healthy habits, macros, supplements, sleep/recovery. Learning how hormones play a giant part in my fitness journey. Perfecting my form and technique with weight training. Took tons of courses and I even hired my own coach. I competed in multiple bodybuilding shows. I participated in endurance events such as tough mudder which is a long track with obstacles in between.
A lot of work has been put into this, the journey is still on going and it is not an easy path. At first I thought I could do it alone and without help who knows where I could’ve ended up. There were so many challenges that came my way. To be effective with my work I needed further education so I got my Personal Training Certification, Nutrition Certification & Human Behavioural Certification.
I chose this line of work, to help, educate and show you the path so you don’t have to go through the same trials and errors I went through. It doesn’t have to take long, I already know the path and have laid the groundwork. You just have to step in, do the work and believe in yourself.
Know that you deserve a better life.
With over 6 years of experience, Michelle has coached 100's of women of different ages and backgrounds. Michelle first started her career in a commercial gym by sharing her passion for fitness with other women and wanting to help them on their journey.
Through her fitness journey, Michelle had tried it all. From HIIT workouts, to “Low Carb” or “Low Fat” diets, none of them truly worked in getting her to her goal. It wasn’t until she looked at her personal experiences, as well as the experiences of past clients, that Michelle was able to find that working on developing long-lasting habits was the solution to being able to reach their fitness goals and keep the results.
As Novette and Michelle began to run their business together, Nori Athletics, the stress resulted in Michelle falling out of routine because she wasn’t able to keep up the lifestyle she previously had, which resulted in her gaining weight, and becoming really uncomfortable and self-conscious. It was after that, that it only became more apparent to Michelle that developing habits in exercise and nutrition would be the only sufficient answer to being able to reach her goal and maintain their physique. As Michelle realized that, she adapted that to her coaching with clients.
Michelle understands the pain of not being able to feel confident in one’s skin, sacrificing her time for others too often, and feeling very tired most of the time from the lack of having a proper routine. Now she wants to ensure that the women who cross her life don’t have to experience that. Today, Michelle helps busy women who are go-getters, whether they’re moms or business owners, develop the right habits around nutrition and exercise to get them to the physique and routine that makes them feel best in their body and the most confident.
With over 6 years of experience, Michelle has NASM CPT certification, Girls Gone Strong Women’s Specialization, and Girls Gone Strong Pre/Post-Natal Certification.
If you’re a go-getting in life but are struggling with self-confidence, if you’ve given up too much of your time for others but want to start giving yourself the attention and care you deserve, if want a better quality of life by improving your habits around exercise and nutrition, know that it’s 100% possible.

I had Novette as a personal trainer for about well over a year. In terms of results, I've made the biggest improvements training with Novette. Because of his attention to detail, certain flaws in my foams were adjusted in order to execute exercises safely and effectively. Initially, because I have a desk job, I just wanted to become fit in general. With Novette’s help, my speed, agility, strength, and overall performance have dramatically increased. My body composition is definitely different from where I started, I gained more muscle mass in place of some fat. I have become more active which led me to taking up martial arts again. With a new goal, Novette continued to assist me improving my performance to compliment my martial arts training, such as agility and vertical height. He would push me to a point that wasn’t achievable before, but only within limits to avoid injury. My initial goals have been fully met and gone further beyond what I thought I can do. The workouts are always different, and always keeping me guessing. Any concerns or fitness type questions, he's always open to answer in great detail. I don’t regret training with Novette, I would definitely recommend.
Been working with Michelle since 2018 then I stopped for a year and got back into the program recently. She helped me train different muscle groups. My motivation for training or exercising is mainly for mental health and to ground myself from a stressful work life. She helped me gain that back during a low point in my life. I truly appreciated working with her and every session almost felt like therapy. I didn’t always follow through but she never pushed me in a way that I was uncomfortable. She ensures I have the proper form and reminds me of what I need to work on when doing certain exercises. I definitely recommend her program for those looking for some guidance in creating a more balanced lifestyle!
....I've had my fare share of trainers, diets, meal plans, workout programs...they've all helped in some way but never at the same time....Months before I decided to invest in myself wholeheartedly I was in a deep slump. The gym was no longer fun or motivating, it was a chore. My strenuous long hours at work collided with any type of schedule I tried to create on my own. Michelle has helped me accomplish many hurdles I faced in regards to my health and fitness goals. She developed a program specifically for me and what my goals are. The most important attribute that I have gotten from her program is SELF ACCOUNTABILITY and SELF AWARENESS. She provides me with information, guidance and support that keep me driven and motivated. She not only has become my personal trainer...I consider her family and one of my top supporters in anything I put my mind and soul into. Nori Athletics isn't just a workout...it's a lifestyle change.
Training with Novette has been an amazing experience. He has made working out fun again, the way he really takes his time with me and makes sure that I’m perfecting my form vs just lifting weights has definitely helped me learn so much more. The best part about working with him is even though he’s pushing you hard he still keeps things light with you in between sets and even jokes around with you. The other good thing which is really important to me is that he works around your schedule and makes it convenient for you. If you are looking for a trainer that is in it to help you learn and improve yourself Novette is your man.
From coming out of a dysfunctional relationship in 2018, to feeling lost and without an identity for many months afterwards, I was unsure how to recover.I needed to focus my attention elsewhere, so I began the basics with learning different levels of fitness, ranging from weight training, HIIT, and proper nutrition. Although, non of it seemed to make sense, and I was still feeling lost and unmotivated from the heartbreak.However, I was referred to Nori Athletics in January of 2019, and after almost one year of uncertainty, I stepped out of my comfort zone and attended my first ever bootcamp. Afterwards, within minutes following the HIIT workout, I was hooked and have never missed a bootcamp since.I enjoyed looking forward to going every week, as it gave me a sense of purpose to reward my success, by being able to put my fitness to the test. The high knees, burpees, jump squats, bear crawls, sled pushes, resistance training, planks, squat holds, and various other workouts had me screaming in pain, but also had me smiling every Sunday morning. Once I got to know both Michelle and Novette better, they told me about there Fitness Program and how they could help me get in the best shape I had ever been in.It wasn’t easy to accept it right away, as I had never done anything like this before, but after seeing how much effort they put into their bootcamps, along with their knowledge and the success of there current clients, I knew trusting them would be the right decision.Fast forward to summer of 2019, and I had never felt more fit, not only was I the lightest weight I had been in a decade, but I was stronger and down to my goal of ten percent body fat, all while maintaining my muscle for the summer season. To be more specific, I was able to deadlift 315 pounds, and also bench 190 pounds, all while going from 170 pounds to 154 pounds and finally losing that last bit of belly fat in five months. However, it was never just about the fitness, the bigger picture is that it’s a lifestyle. Not only was I given the hardest yet results oriented workout plan, but I was also given certain routines that lead to me feeling a sense of purpose and identity, which was something I didn’t have for almost two years.I learned to hold myself accountable, and noticed that developing the right habits lead to me being more productive in my classes and other areas of my life.Altogether, with the guidance of Nori Athletics, both Michelle and Novette helped me transform much more than my body, but more importantly, I got my life back.
I heard about Nori Athletics from my friend and colleague who has the same if not even more hectic schedule than I do. I trusted her referral and was able to connect with Michelle. I have been working with Michelle since November of 2019 and it’s been one of the best decisions I have made for myself! After being in a Motor vehicle accident, I was unmotivated and unhappy with where I was physically. I initially told myself I would start getting “healthy” in the new year but she convinced me that starting in November would put me ahead. She’s not only my coach but my friend! I believe that is what really separates her from any other personal trainer. Nori Athletics approach isn’t about the all or nothing mentality. It’s about creating habits about working out and around nutrition that clients can sustain for the rest of their lives. I’ve gone from 0 work outs a week to 4. I’m so much more aware of what I NEED to eat and how I can fit in what I WANT to eat. I feel stronger, energized, and more confident in myself ! All thanks to Nori Athletics!
About two and a half years ago, I decided to go to the gym because I wanted to change my body a bit and I wanted to be strong. So, I met a mysterious person in the gym. That person was my fitness instructor, Novette. He taught me how to eat healthy and he set up a very comprehensive fitness program. Since I had never been exposed to fitness, he had the patience to teach me every movement, which greatly reduced the chance of injury. After more than two years of exercise, my body went through a big change. I am indeed stronger than before, and my muscle mass has increased a lot. I am very happy because I have reached my goal. In terms of athletic performance, since I am playing football, my physical confrontation has improved a lot and there has been a lot of progress in speed. Fitness has greatly improved my athletic performance. I am very grateful towards my personal. Now I go to the gym for at least three days a week, and I will continue to work towards my fitness goals.
“As an acupuncturist, I see in my practice every day that self-care is vital to maintain your health, working your best & showing up for the people you love… but I wasn’t following my own advice so I started looking for a coach. I meet Michelle a few years ago and loved her drive for her clients & herself.
Working with a coach should be about being taught & lead to new understanding by someone, who you can trust to do so with a generous heart & without judgement - both Michelle & Novette of the Nori Team definitely do this. Their work outside of the gym is as much, if not more important than the time spent training you in the weight-room. The best part of working with Nori is that Michelle & Novett are able to be your cheerleaders in what ever way you need!”

I’ve known Michelle for a little over 3 years now. Within this time she has helped me create so many new connections within my body that I never would have fathomed possible. I’m really happy with my Nori Athletics journey thus far, because I have leaned out quite a bit, gone down from a size 11 to a size 5, and a medium-large to exclusively smalls or extra smalls. I’ve gained more confidence and feel more at home in my body. I’ve lost nearly 25lbs since I’ve met her and gained a lot of muscle.
Michelle has also gone above and beyond to cater to my issues surrounding my scoliosis and congenital rib fusion— always researching new physio and exercises to strengthen my body and straighten my posture. By simply rebuilding connections that either have been lost or may have not been there to start. Both Michelle and Novette have become dear friends to me, not simply just trainers I see weekly, but friends I look forward to spending time with and learning from. They are really well rounded trainers as they don’t focus solely on your physical health but your mental and emotional state as well.
I highly recommend Nori Athletics to anyone who wants to take their fitness journey seriously, because of their in-depth attention to detail and overall care for your wellbeing. Thank you for enriching my life with you’re amazing prescience— I love you guys!
I thought I knew how to do a workout and what to eat. I was sporadic with going to the gym and once I got there, I didn’t know what exercises to do. Michelle guided me with workouts, form, and diet. She gave me many tips which has led me to improve my habits. Most of all, I felt the support and patience from her to be consistent. The gym is extremely clean and organized. I actually look forward to a workout session with Michelle!
Hey y’all!
Shyan here... well where do I start !
I first met Michelle at their boot camp they host on Sunday's through a friend referral ! I had really no intention of signing on because I have had pretty bad/ medium experiences with personal trainers whether they are just lazy or on the opposite end way too intense !
Michelle’s vibe was honestly so comforting and a breathe of fresh air ! She doesn’t care about the sale, she honestly just wants to help you whether that means getting stronger or leaning out or just overall learning about fitness and developing a maintainable lifestyle !
I signed up with Michelle for a small trail just to test it out and I absolutely loved the program ! I love the community, I love how I can reach out with any questions and I love how flexible and understanding they are ! Not to say they won’t crack the whip when need be ;)
What I knew about fitness back then versus what I know now 9 months later has drastically increased and I feel that Michelle has given me a whole new perspective on how to live life comfortably but maintain a healthy and positive day to day life !
Whenever I’m doing a set and I feel like I’m ready to give up I can hear Michelle’s voice in my head saying “you got this girl!”She is an absolute angel and also an amazing leader and teacher !
Forever my number 1
I have been with Michelle since December 2019. It started with an 8-week challenge and honestly I can say by week 2 I was hooked! I use to go to the gym a lot in my early 20s; then you know the usual stuff happens, you start school/career start and become less and less consistent. I finally said enough is enough I need to make myself a priority again.
So when I saw the opportunity for an 8 week challenge to get my fitness back I thought to myself.. What is there to lose? The progress I saw week after week in the challenge was so rewarding and I could feel my body getting stronger again. I started to feel like myself again. I instantly noticed more energy, productivity and overall happiness. So naturally I signed up for personal training sessions that were more focused on me and how my body responds.
Michelle is very knowledgeable and was able to help customize a workout plan that was best suited for my body. I had a shoulder injury from my years of dance and weight lifting when I was younger that she assisted with rehab and providing modified but still acceptable level exercises to ensure proper muscle engagement. She offers weekly check-ins that provide great advice, reflection and motivation as well!
Michelle truly cares about every single one of her clients as well as each interaction is personal not forced and beautiful. I am always learning something new about fitness, personal attributes and the perspectives during each conversation.
Michelle doesn’t just help you get into shape and achieve the body you want. Michelle takes a holistic approach that assists you in making lifestyle changes that are achievable and fun to work towards.I would highly recommend Michelle if you are ready for a lifestyle change!
Working with Michelle has been life changing - I’ve been working with her since 2017. In university, I wasn’t taking care of myself and was feeling sluggish a lot and I knew I needed to make a change. Since starting with her, Michelle has taught me everything I know about fitness, health, and good habits. She develops not only your fitness, but checks in on your overall well being and health. Personal training can sound intimidating, but Michelle is far from that. Her welcoming, supportive, and friendly vibe has me leaving every session feeling awesome. My results with her have been fantastic and I’ve learned so much!
Once I really applied myself while working with Michelle, I’ve lost over 10 pounds and look noticeably more toned. My skin even got clearer! I cleaned up my diet under her guidance, and almost never drink. Because I feel so amazing, I don’t miss any of my old unhealthy patterns such as drinking, dining out frequently, and staying up late.
Once her and Novette started NORI Athletics, I’ve been attending their bootcamp - it’s incredibly challenging and so rewarding! The community they’ve built of supportive people achieving their goals is an honour to be a part of.
“I was a professional dancer when I was younger, and while I was active over the years after I stopped; I did not have a regular workout plan. I decided to start going to the gym nine months ago. I was working out very regularly but wasn’t making much progress. I trained a couple of times with Michelle and appreciated her approach. I started training with her twice a week six months ago and haven’t looked back.Michelle is caring, attentive and encouraging and has set up a great plan for me. I injured my shoulder before I started working with her and she has helped with rehab and has modified my workouts if needed. She challenges me beyond what I think I can do and in addition to her regular training I now attend the Nori Athletics weekly bootcamp.
When I started this process, my goal was just to get in better shape, but because of Michelle’s holistic approach, I am eating a more balanced, healthier diet. I have lost 10 pounds, gained lots of strength and am doing things I never thought I could do! I am excited to continue working with Michelle and to continue challenging myself. "
