Biography
Michelle Chambers was born and raised in Jamaica. During her
youth, Michelle swam competitively for both her preparatory
and high school swim teams, and attended ballet and modern
dance classes until she graduated high school in 1988. While
in college, Michelle majored in pre-med/dental, but decided
in her third year that she no longer wished to pursue
studies in this field. Instead, traveling was more to her
liking, and like a large percentage of Floridians she
pursued a real estate career but soon discovered it lacked
the glamor she hoped to find.
Throughout her college years and afterwards, Michelle always enjoyed training in the gym but it took some encouragement from a family member of hers before she decided to make it a career. Since then, Michelle has never looked back and attended the Fitness Institute International to become a certified personal training specialist. Michelle is also a certified personal trainer with the National Strength and Conditioning Association (NSCA), and is certified in CPR/AED/First Aid with the American Heart Association.
My Mission
As a fitness professional and mother of a six-year-old and a
four-month-old, I
am very aware of the challenges facing moms, and future
moms, in reaching and maintaining their fitness goals. Who
we are, and who we will be, is defined by how we respond to
these challenges. My primary goal as a fitness trainer here
at One To One Fitness is to assist each individual
with a plan to optimize their health through both physical training
and sound nutrition.
In all aspects of life, in order to succeed you must “walk the walk”, not just “talk the talk.” I currently compete in Figure/Fitness Competitions, Ultimate Athlete Competitions and train for endurance running. I hold certifications with NSCA, Fitness Institute International and CPR/AED/First Aid, and strive for more knowledge by taking continuing education courses and seminars for my clients because I believe they deserve the very best.
Remember…
Success is not given, but is
achieved through hard work and perseverance.
