Why Are We Different?
We understand that the best coaches not only help expand your vision of what is possible, but they guide you to discover it for yourself. More often than not, runners weight train like they are Crossfitters or Bodybuilders, and wonder why they feel so stiff during their runs…and let’s face it, most hikers avoid weight training altogether. It’s time to REFRAME what the weight room can do for you by learning how to train a different way, so you can run more freely and hike in harder terrain for more epic views.

Why train to run?
Running is an extremely demanding activity on your body. Weight training can be used to improve gait mechanics, coordination, and motion, reducing movement limitations and allowing you to handle the demands of longer and more intense runs.Â

What Are People Saying About RP Coaching?
"Michelle at Reframe Performance coached me for my first ultra, a trail 50k. She takes the most personal and detailed approach I have ever experienced. She's attentive to where my body is at in terms of both performance and recovery, making sure I'm adapting and helping me troubleshoot, stead of just stacking on more volume. Communication is frequent and organized - I can tell she always has a plan.Â
I felt prepared for every mile of my first ultra, and I'm excited for our next season together. What has really set my experience apart is that Michelle helps me improve my race performance while encouraging me to adventure along the way!"
- Christie M. Athlete
"I have been coached by Michelle for several months. My initial goals were to feel more movement in my hips when running and to improve body composition. Her programming has given me the opportunity to accomplish both of these. I am feeling like the younger version of my running self again. Specifically, I am running nearly pain-free as well as a bit faster. Her strength workouts are incredibly individualized and very compatible with my running. All of this gives me the confidence to consider ultramarathon distances that I had begun to think were no longer within my ability. She really has changed my running life and health!"

 "Michelle has been instrumental in helping me build strength and stay injury-free in my running. She listened to my goals while also putting me through an initial round of tests to assess what I need and then build out a long range plan that had a sequential build specific to me that led to steady improvement over time. Thanks to her guidance, I’ve become a stronger, more resilient runner."Â
- Ryne A. Athlete & Pro Endurance Coach
 "“Coach Michelle is the complete package! She walks the walk and talks the talk. She has the academic and practical backgrounds, so she can write the best programs to work with any runner or hiker. If you follow her guidance you will be stronger, more durable and perform better out on the trails”
- Kurt P. Pro Endurance Coach
"Michelle understands that everyone’s fitness journey is different. I’m in my 50s, and am passionate about hiking. Our training sessions are highly collaborative. She works with me to overcome chronic pain issues, while increasing mobility and building strength. In the past few years, I’ve been able to hike higher, further, and faster than I’d previously thought possible. I can’t wait to plan my next trip!"
- Bob C.
"I have worked with several physical therapists, trainers and strength & conditioning coaches over the past 25 years and I would put Michelle among the very best that I have worked with. To me, she has the interpersonal skills and a unique exercise skillset/knowledge/background that allows her to provide a program that implements all of those approaches to allow someone to perform to the best of their ability."
- Jeff S.
"I am very thankful to Michelle for her technical expertise, and also her ability to motivate without overwhelming! She always helps with any questions that come up, along with coaching me over videos sometimes. I would HIGHLY recommend working with Michelle and getting her perspective on how to strengthen your areas that can be weak and cause pain. THANK YOU MICHELLE!"
