Trainer of the Month

Coach Michelle

Tell us about yourself!

Looks like it’s my turn for another “meet your trainer column”. I want to start by turning the focus back to YOU! I am so grateful for every pair of bag-punishing feet and hands that walk through the door for my classes. Trainers need motivation too, and your presence and energy do just that! I hope I’m able to mirror some of that motivation right back to you.

Thank you for every kind word, suggestion, and smile. I love meeting you, learning your names and feel grateful that you came to my class. I have been a member at Kersey’s for 10 years and immediately fell in love with every and all aspects of this amazing place. I have recently become a trainer and I am so happy to be able to share my excitement and love for kickboxing with everyone!

A community:

For me, Kersey’s has been a door to a whole new community. I come to work out, but I also come to hang out and have fun with my friends. It’s so much more than just “kick”! We have incredible mentors in Krista, Brandon, Fran and all the wonderful trainers! I encourage you to introduce yourselves to as many people as you can. There are always times when you need that extra push to get to class and knowing that you’ve got friends and smiling faces waiting for you can help you find the energy to get out the door and head to kick.

I’m back!

I was away for most of the spring as I recovered from (planned) jaw surgery. It was everything they said it was going to be... nothing good! But it’s finally in the rearview mirror. I’ve been fortunate to have as good a recovery as one can have. I can’t imagine what it must be like for fighters to break their jaw. I never see another protein shake, it will be too soon. It was a good/bad reminder about how fast muscle tone is lost but also, how fast it comes back now after just a few weeks of training.

What are you doing this summer?

Summer is definitely my family’s busiest time of the year. As many of you know, “Leave Those Kids Alone” features my son and daughter, Alex and Addi, and is managed by my husband John-Paul. We’ll be up and down the 401 and I-75 all summer long performing across Ontario and Michigan. They are also performing several times in Windsor and Essex County, so if you like classic rock you’ll absolutely love hearing these 4 incredibly talented kids (my pair plus Louis and Luca) play your favorite hits.

Speaking of my daughter Addi, some of you might see her at Kersey’s as she’s back at it kicking some butt! She took a break for a little while but realized that you can have so much fun while working out. She’s hooked on Krista’s cardio class, also one of my favorites!

Ok, ring the bell! See you in class.

Special Events Team Building

Are you looking for a way to help your team level up? Bring them together to boost camarderie? Have fun learning a new skill? Improve strength, endurance, agility, coordination?

You’ll get a one hour private session with a trainer who will tailor the workout to your team’s needs, to help them become stronger physically and mentally to crush it when game time comes.

We’ve had soccer, volleyball, hockey and broom ball teams!

Are you a part of a team that has nothing to do with sports? A killer accounting team, a fantastic nursing crew? We are also booking special team building events as well that double as a workout and a team builder - with no awkward ice breakers!

July’s Events

Justina’s Baby Shower Class

On Wednesday, July 17th, our Kersey Kickbox fam celebrated Coach Justina’s last class for a little while as her and her husband, Marcus, welcome their second baby. We are going to miss Coach Justina very much, but as long as she shares some baby photos with us, we will forgive her absense!

July’s Events Theme Nights!

This month we had some incredible theme nights! From country hoe downs to hip hop house parties to neon raves, our coaches and members had a blast dressing up, rocking out and working up a sweat in July!

Check out our upcoming events so you don’t miss our upcoming August theme nights.
