Meet Coach M
My name is Michaela Robichaud and I am the Owner of Movement by M! Having worked in the fitness industry over 11+ years, I have found my purpose in helping people live happy and healthy lives. ​
As a health educator and personal trainer, it is my passion to help others be better versions of themselves.​ I’ve had the pleasure of working with many individuals from all walks of life and developed a passion to encourage, motivate, and guide my clients through training to live pain-free, strong, adventurous lives. I am a firm believer that if we, as humans, take good care of ourselves mentally, physically, spiritually, and emotionally, then we will not only live healthy lives, but we can help take better care of those
around us, too.​
Movement by M is more than just a gym. It is a place where you can increase confidence, build relationships, enhance your physical capabilities, and live a more purpose-centered life.

Channing Matthews, 39
I've worked with Michaela for over 5 years, and I couldn't ask for a better trainer! She always knows when I need a push, but listens to my needs as my body has shifted and changed over the years.
Michaela worked with me as I went through a PhD, which was physically taxing on my body.
​
Michaela set up a fitness and nutrition plan to ensure I stayed mobile and healthy throughout a stressful time in my life. I can't wait to see the ways she continues to help others succeed.
Kelly Schwartz, 60
Working with Michaela during the last several years has definently imporved my overall health. When I was recuperating from breast cancer surgery she gave me exercises I could do at home. My doctors were impressed with my muscle mass, strength and told me to keep training!
​
I like that we talk about my needs and Michaela magically comes up with exercises to address any goals I may have. Aging is hard on the body but I feel confident that I will continue to lead a healthy and active life working with Coach M.
Kristal Kilgore, 40
I was never a "gym person" until I started working with Michaela to regain confidence in my knees after some sport related injuries and surgeries.
​
Eight years later and I am still coming because coach has created such a fun environment and her expertise she brings to our workout sessions are unmatched. I love the atmosphere and I see the positive impact that training provides on a daily basis.
Rosemary Berardi, 85
Several years ago, I fell and broke my neck. I was on the search to find a trainer who would work with me to improve my gait and overall general strength to prevent another fall.
​
I am amazed at the progress I have made a huge thanks to my Coach's expertise and training philosiphies. Michaela is one of the best things that has ever happened to me and I am forever grateful!

Sad about leaving your pet at home??? No need to worry. Odds are if you ask for permission to bring your dog along for a training session, I will most likely say Yes!!
