"Barbell training is something I have always wanted to try. Until training with Micaela I didn’t think it was attainable for me. Micaela’s keen knowledge of communicating form of a particular lift that will be efficient and turn into strength is the reward and is incredibly inspiring. Staying strong is a long term goal and with Micaela’s training expertise I know I can.
P.S. Zion (gym dog) is quite delightful and a giver of joy!"
