Hey y’all. I’m Mychele
I’m a MOVER! I teach Pilates, Dance, Yoga and fitness. I have taught almost every fitness format imaginable for over a decade but as you can see, there are some that STAYED in my heart. I created Get2Werk Fitness with the desire to provide fitness classes to underserved areas of South Los Angeles. I also started this journey to show my kids that it’s never too late to live your dreams.
My classes started as a space for under-seen Black, Latinx, and body neutral students with an emphasis on accessible movement practices that later evolved to serving more communities.
Certifications + Affiliations:
Over the years, I have participated in local, national and international fitness events representing fitness formats and brands such as Pilates Anytime, Balanced Body, Flexia Pilates, Under Armour, Reebok and Nike Women. In 2018, I won the “Wow the Crowd” Dance Fitness Contest in Los Angeles, California. I was named “Best of 2020” in Pilates by Pilatay.com for a healing movement event with my girls Tasha Edwards, Lesley Logan and Erika Quest. I’ve worked with Los Angeles area boutique studios, fitness facilities and national chains such as Equinox, Bay Club, UFC Gym, 24 Hour Fitness and Gold’s Gym! I’m still at Equinox and looking forward to my 10 year anniversary in 2025!
And if you want to know a little bit more about what inspires me…
- I was a professional dancer and making movement accessible to REAL people is “my jam!”
- Student/Client success: meeting people where they are on their fitness journey with modifications and ways to get them to that “A-HA” moment brings me joy.
- Authentic connection – Over my years of teaching, many of my “DAY ONE” folx are still in my fitness family for more than a decade.
