“In the two-month period that I worked with Michele, I lost three and a half inches from my waist and 20 pounds. I receive unsolicited comments from folks who have known me, that I appear to have lost 18 years of age as a result. Certainly, my energy level is at an all time high. Even more importantly, that weight and inches lost has persisted.
I lost the weight and inches last November and December, without depriving myself during the holiday season. But, now in April, I remain at that desired weight and waist measurement. I just returned from a several-day vacation with my weight and waist unchanged, in spite of enjoying myself thoroughly. It is Michele’s method of incorporating my preferences for food and drink into a solid and scientifically based methodology that is responsible.
I don’t count calories or follow a tough or complicated regimen. I just do what is natural and balanced, and keep it all within reason. I give Michele all the credit for my success and recommend her highly to all who wish to improve their health and their lives.”

“I have been utilizing Michele’s services for the past two years. I have experienced dramatic increase in my strength and owe it to Michele’s customized program. She is a pleasure to work with and brings an enthusiasm that allows me to get through the workouts. Michele is also very helpful in giving me nutritional tips. This added benefit makes for a very enjoyable workout session.”

“I started working with Michele Pasula with a goal of losing weight and inches around the waistline. In a period of 45 days I have accomplished that by losing 15 pounds and 3 inches. But what Michele did for me that was even more valuable, was to educate and coach me on the nutritionally correct way to go about making a healthy life-style change. Using a consultative approach Michele educated me on what type of foods were right for me specifically and why. This is important because as Michele pointed out, we all have specific needs and personal goals that are our own, therefore we should have a plan that is specifically tailored to each of us. That is what she did for me, and as I continue to follow that plan with follow-up consultations, I realized that I have the ability to make a healthy choice with the specific diet and nutritional values that are best for me. If you are ready for a health excellence experience led by a true professional, I would highly recommend Michele Pasula.”

“Before I started with Michele, my diabetes was off the wall. She educated me to know that it is diet, exercise and stress related. I am stabilized now for 6 months. Thanks to her menu planning and shopping with me. She is number one in my book.”
— John Weiss, Age 56, Boca Raton, Florida
“I was 3 weeks into Training for a body building competition when I started working with Michele. She completely changed my typical ” body builders diet”. Before I started with Michele the food I was consuming seemed to weigh me down–chicken, brown rice, and broccoli every 2-4 hours. I was struggling to run 2 miles. After Michele transformed my diet, I began running 6+ miles. The diet began fueling my workouts.
With Michele’s help in a 7 week period I transformed from 135lbs and 17% body fat to 122lbs and 10% body fat. I credit Michele with a big part of my success, I wouldn’t have been able to get through my intense workout sessions with out the energy she helped me find through my nutrition. THANKS GIRL!!!!!!!”
— Jackie Polak, Personal Trainer/Fitness Instructor
“I decided to work with a personal trainer for psychological reasons; I wanted to have someone to report to as a way to stay motivated. But what Michele Pasula has taught me has gone well beyond psychology and has exceeded anything I imagined would be possible.
She designed my cardiovascular and weight training routines and our work together, combined with portion control, helped me to lose 60 pounds! At age 48, I am in the best shape of my life. I am stronger and healthier than ever, and I credit Michele with much of my success.
She is professional, technically skilled, and conscientious. She also makes working out fun so that you look forward to each visit.
I highly recommend her to anyone considering a personal trainer or nutritionist. You will need to do the hard work, but follow Michele’s instruction and you will be well-positioned for success.”
— Susan Seasack Ph. D, Neuroscience – University of Pittsburgh
“With enthusiasm and commitment, Michele taught me how to set health and diet goals that would last, including how to make food and drink choices that I could live with. Over the course of nine months, I easily dropped my cholesterol level, body fat percentage, and weight (35 lbs.). More Importantly, I’ve maintained the lower weight by continuing to follow Michele’s liveable advice.”
— Henry Clement, Beaumaris Company, Pittsburgh, PA
“I am a 45 year old CEO and have difficulty planning meals and eating balanced due to my travel schedule. I cannot arrange when and where I will eat due to business meetings and European travel. Michele was referred to me by a friend and what a find. She has completely changed my food habits, with exceptional support (a beautiful smile) and a client dedication and commitment that goes beyond the extra mile. If you are serious about making a healthy change…Michele Pasula CAN do it.”
— John B., Pittsburgh, PA
“I have been working with Michele for well over a year. I can truly say that the degree of commitment and intensity that Michele gives to her clients is quite remarkable. She is the consummate professional both in the thoughtful preparation of the training sessions and also in the integration of the exercise activity with knowledgeable nutrition counseling as well. She is attentive to client needs and once she understands your goals she will be determined and focused to help you get there, even if now and then you need a push. I have worked with other trainers in the past and the difference with Michele is that she gets results!”
— David Iwinski Jr., CEO, Acusis
“My whole life, I have been plagued with erratic weight. I was either “pleasantly plump” or, I would starve myself, and become too thin. I had tried every diet known to man, but none were successful. I was confused. I didn’t understand what I needed to do to maintain a healthy weight without depriving myself. I was introduced to Michele, my lifesaver. She educated me on a healthy eating plan, one that I could eat and still lose weight. The key to my success was the education she provided and most importantly, her support. Not only did Michele help me lose weight for my wedding, she has helped me maintain it a year and a half later with the help of monthly phone consults.”
— Tonya Yaros Belczyk, 28, Physical Therapist, Ohio
“Over the years, I have tried every diet; while some have been successful, others have not held my interest. I currently was watching my diet and working out two days. Still, there was a piece of the puzzle missing. I’ve been to nutritionists before and they just seem to give a diet and say “see you next week”. Michele is different. She looked at the whole picture, from blood work, to exercise, to examining my eating habits. She determined my weakness for sweets and amazingly was able to prepare a plan geared to what I like and incorporate satisfying sweet treats. After being on Michele’s plan for only one month, my cholesterol dropped 70 points from 300 to 230 – that is unbelievable! I am eating healthier, feeling great, and most importantly, don’t feel I’m missing anything. If you’re looking for a great Nutritionist, someone who cares for you and takes time to find out what makes you tick, Michele will make you feel wonderful.”
— Dolly Barie, Age 64, Brandenton, Florida
“Michele helped me lose those last 10' of pregnancy fat. I had tried so many plans; would lose 5 and gain 2 back and forth. She really got me in shape and I still keep in touch for weigh-ins monthly. If you are committed… Michele is the only answer.”
— Renee Constanzo, Age 31, Boca Raton, Florida
“I started to see Michele for two reasons. I wanted to increase my energy level and lose 10 – 15 pounds. Michele had me keep a food journal, writing down … what, why and the time I ate. Michele modified my diet while increasing my aerobic exercise. After several months of working with Michele, I not only lost the weight I wanted and increased my energy level, but I learned how to eat when I was hungry, and not when I was tired, upset or bored. Michele has changed my life!”
— Andrea Haney, 47, Pittsburgh, PA
“In January, 2007 I had gastric bypass surgery. I knew that the surgery was a tool to lose weight, but also knew that in order to be successful and to maintain the weight loss; I would need to make changes in my lifestyle. The biggest challenge for me was exercise. I began by walking on the treadmill and joining a water aerobics class, but after three months I knew I needed to do more if I was going to be successful. I was lucky to find Michele.
Michele changed my life. She takes the “thinking” out of exercising. Michele’s professionalism and knowledge has helped me to succeed. With Michele’s exercise plan and her coaching, not only may I not need to have plastic surgery for sagging skin, but I have learned how to exercise, and have discovered that I actually enjoy it. I look forward to my time with Michele, and am no longer intimidated about going to the gym. Even when I am not exercising with Michele, I can still hear her words of encouragement, which helps me maintain my focus on the long term benefits of my program.
I lost 20 lbs. the first month working with Michele and in the 11 months since surgery, I have lost l32 lbs. I know that I could not have done this without Michele’s guidance. She taught me the importance of exercise and good nutrition. The surgery helped me take the weight off, but with Michele’s help I know I can maintain a fit and healthy lifestyle.
I would highly recommend Michele to anyone, especially someone who had, or is thinking about having, gastric bypass surgery. Michele has a gentle, but forceful way, of letting me know that I am capable of reaching my goals.”

“I have been in the fitness industry all of my adult life. As an exercise physiologist & group exercise instructor, I have always prided myself on keeping fitness and nutrition woven into the fabric of my everyday life.
About 9 months after my second baby, I realized that I could not shed my last 10 lbs. Although I had been doing the same things I had always done, those stubborn pounds weren’t budging….so I enlisted the help of my coworker and friend, Michele Pasula.
The best part of working with Michele was that she completely stripped down all previous notions of “healthy” eating that were completely off base. She not only helped me to eat less processed foods, she educated me on why I needed more of this, and less of that. She showed me brands to buy, gave me times to eat, and gave me options to help control my wandering eye.
Doing her program helped me to lose the 10lbs and I truly do feel better and less hungry throughout the day (as cliche as that sounds.) I recommend her to anyone who listens. She is awesome at her profession and makes me feel that I carry a nutrionist around in my pocket… because she is always willing to help me and answer my questions (and lets be honest…isnt that what we all want?)”
