"I met Michele Theoret through Tanya Lee Sheehan at the Body Art Studio. I completed a bootcamp and was successful in losing 35 pounds. I was convinced that the benefits of fitness, diet and yoga not only made me look better, but I had never felt so good in my life.

I began to help teach yoga with Michele and got to know her very well. From the very beginning Michele was an inspiration to me and any one she met. She was so strong and determined and filled with enthusiasm. I watched Michele intensely train for a fitness competition and eventually started to work out with her. When her big day finally came, my mom and I sat in the stands cheering Michele on. Was she ever great! She place top five with some very tough competition. She qualified to go the Nationals in Brantford, Ontario and I felt honored to go with her for support. What a weekend it was, lost luggage, protein shakes, pro-tan, and lots of half naked competitors.

We knew that Tanya had decided to close her studio and go on her own journey, so on the way home on the plane, Michele and I drew up plans for our own dream studio. Weeks later we were looking at properties and the rest is history. We opened our studio, "Yoga Revolution & Fitness Inc." We had all kinds of classes from yoga to spinning to training athletes. These are some of my best memories in my life. Michele has taught me so much about life, fitness, nutrition and friendship.

I had never thought about doing a fitness competition, until Michele asked me to try one. Five months later, I found myself backstage in a tiny two piece bathing suit, waiting to go on stage to pose. I would never been able to accomplish this without Michele's support and infectious enthusiasm. I can still hear her voice in my head, " Come on, Only 25 more lunges. Michele made the decision to move to Edmonton with her husband and new baby, but those days at our studio were very special for both of us and our many clients.

Today I strive on the determination I became accustomed to while working with Michele. Michele Theoret is an amazing woman, wife, mother and friend."

I started training with Michele Berlando in September of 2005 and in just under a year (thru to June 2006) the effect that she had on my life was amazing. The point in my life at which I landed in her studio/gym was pivotal and the outlet that she offered was important in my becoming who I truly am. What I gained in the time that she trained me hasn't slipped or disappeared. They were fantastic results of the staying kind, both mentally and physically. I've had several personal trainers over the years and nobody has come close to offering the support and dedication to the entire package that Michele does.

Michelle has a true passion for the human body and mind and its awesome power and energy. She brings this passion to both Weight Training and Yoga. She teaches both of these activities with a similar vigor and enthusiasm.

Her approach is both philosophical and physical, a combination that transcends simply working out, training, dieting etc. Along with her passion Michele has Skill, Knowledge and Discipline. These things serve to offer much motivation and further embed a healthy philosophy deep in the fabric of living. Her sessions had an energy that had me constantly not only WANTING to push my own limits but then actually DOING SO. Her energy remains inspiring, even now, 2 years after our training ended. However, it's not the same without her!

Michelle is an individual of true direction, dedication and magnitude. I feel lucky to have had her as an instructor and physical mentor. She is an inspiration.

"I started attending spin classes taught by Michele to complement my marathon training. Michele was able to motivate me and always gave me the encouragement to push myself that extra mile. I noticed improved cardiovascular endurance, strength, and was able to accomplish pesonal bests through Michele's class.

I eventually joined an intense three month program that incorporated weight, cardiovascular and nutrition coaching. In three months I was able to cut my body fat by 6%. Michele was very encouraging, helped me through the workouts when I was struggling, and always kept me wanting to come back for more!!"

I was a relatively sedentary dad in his 30's, running after kids in hockey, baseball, ringette and horses, always making time for them and none for myself. After i hit 40 my waistline started expanding as my metabolism hit the skids. My diet was not terrible, but i knew i needed help there too.

I started doing Michele and Luc's empowered workplace program (Power Yoga and Core Bootcamp) but was not losing weight. I knew it must be mu diet-I needed a program! I signed up for the 12 week body transformation, and what a life changing experience that was. Michele put together a diet and exercise plan based on my goals and other factors. I lost 20 lbs, toned up, gained muscle and have maintained a much healthier lifestyle. I highly recommend investing in any of the programs offered by The Power Center, as they are high quality, intense and get results. Both Luc and Michele are highly trained and posses a varied assortment of routines, exercises, and equipment which always keeps things interesting!

Above all, they are great people who really acre about making people healthier. They are supportive, listen to concerns and are always available for advice or to answer any questions. If i were to describe Michele in a phrase it would be "NO Excuses" and Luc "No Limits" These forces combine to bring out the absolute best in their clients.
