Hey y'all. I'm Mychele
I’m a Pilates teacher and dance fitness instructor with over 10 years of experience teaching every fitness format imaginable. I created Get2Werk Fitness with the desire to provide fitness classes to under-served areas of South Los Angeles. My classes started as a space for Black and Latinx students then later evolved to serve more communities.
Get2Werk is now a studio and online space. Get2Werk classes provide students a safe, non-judgemental place to show up as themselves and feel SEEN.
Beyond that, I believe that there is no such thing as the “right” body type and that everyone has a right to fitness, including YOU. When you take class with me, you can expect a fun and challenging workout that’s also joint friendly and includes every modification you could ever need, because fitness isn’t just about the sweat. It’s a non-negotiable form of self-care.
Certifications + Affiliations:
Over the years, I have participated in local and national fitness events representing fitness formats and brands such as Under Armour, Reebok and Nike Women. In 2018, I won the “Wow the Crowd” Dance Fitness Contest in Los Angeles, California. I’ve also worked with Los Angeles area boutique fitness facilities and national chains: Equinox, Bay Club, UFC Gym, 24 Hour Fitness and Gold’s Gym!
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 almost a decade.
I’m an empty nester now, but I started this journey to show my son and daughter that it’s never too late to live your dreams.
