Michelle founded GiRLS in Real Life in 2019 in Overland Park, KS. Growing up a 4 sport athlete in high school and continuing on to play volleyball and basketball for two years prior to transferring to Iowa State Michelle has always had the desire to lead, inspire and empower both men and women which ultimately lead to her current role of a Group Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer. A boy mom of 3 Michelle is so grateful to have the opportunity to empower girls and women of all ages to have a positive body image, be healthy and confident. Michelle's motto is
