Michelle Brugal, Retreat Co-Host
—
I met Michelle back in 2019 when she was an instructor for an online fitness platform that I was a member of. She quickly became one of my favorite teachers because her style of barre and sculpt was so unique. I had never experienced anything like her classes before.
Michelle is credited for bringing barre to that platform and it remains one of their most popular classes. Taking her classes so consistently during the lockdown in 2020 really solidified my love for barre. She has been a constant source of inspiration since I decided to get certified.
Michelle's knowledge of the body transcends exercise. She uses dance as a tool for self-expression. Connecting music and movement through thoughtful and creative programming, her classes deliver effective and empowering results, all while making exercise feel like a party!
She holds a BFA in dance from Fordham University/The Ailey School and has more than 15 years professional experience as a performer and teacher. Alongside her dance and modeling career, Michelle has honed her fitness skills working for various boutique fitness studios in New York City where she trained celebrities, athletes, children, teens, and moms. Michelle is a NASM certified personal trainer and Women’s Fitness Specialist with a focus on pre/postnatal exercise.
Like Megan, Michelle is looking forward to meeting and moving with the FBW community. at the upcoming retreat in September.
