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 a decade 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.
