I became a personal trainer at 19 years old while attending The Fashion Institute of Technology in New York City. While I enjoyed being immersed in the fashion world, I simultaneously developed a passion for fitness and living a healthy lifestyle. I studied under several fitness professionals at various gyms and boutique studios in New York City, and soon became a nationally certified personal trainer through NASM.
Over the years I have taken many courses and workshops to become well versed in varying techniques and training styles. In 2013, my husband and I moved from NYC to Connecticut where I launched Michele Warren Fitness. My mission was to teach others how fitness could enrich their lives, as it had done for me. Now with over 15 years of experience training clients, I have developed a unique approach to achieving optimal fitness. It is what I call the “HybridFit Method” –a fluid combination of techniques from yoga, Pilates, and cardio ballet. Whether I’m conducting a private or group class, the HybridFit Method enables me to tailor each session to my clients’ needs.
In addition, I provide advice on nutrition and overall wellness strategies. I strongly believe that food is medicine – encouraging my clients to eat from nature as much as possible, while limiting processed foods. Fueling the body with organic and local ingredients, staying well hydrated, using non-toxic items for self care to household products, and prioritizing good quality sleep, are just a few ways I encourage a positive wellness journey.
Ultimately, my goal is to present a culmination of my passions through Beauty, Design and Wellness, and how that will create a unique client experience. This may be through recipes and photos I take of food, beauty products I highlight and how I decorate a space that creates tranquility. My website will soon feature content on these important topics too.
I currently reside on Long Island with my family. I welcome you to experience my HybridFit Method in person or virtually. Together we can embark on a journey to live our best lives.
