Reach and exceed your fitness goals with Kerrin Michele
I train a select amount of clients at Gem Fitness (also known as the Lion’s Den) located in Tigard, OR. Gem Fitness is a private training facility with over 80 pieces of leg equipment you won’t find at other gyms to help you achieve the best shape of your life. I realize the benefits of an experienced professional putting eyes on a client during training to assess and critique movement and technique, keep up the pace of the workout, and motivate the client to achieving their highest potential.
Contact me for availability.
Posing and stage presence is essential to placing well at competitions. During this session I help the client asses their
best angles, poses, transition, and walk to give them an edge on stage and help them look their absolute best.
This can be done 1:1 in person or via Skype
depending on location.
Cem has taken her physique to the next level with his expertise in posterior chain training and legendary gym environment and equipment.
Kerrin has benefited tremendously mentally and physically over the years from 1:1 training every week with Cem and is offering the same opportunity to a select group of clients at the same gym that helped her build her best self. From beginner to professional athlete, Kerrin Michele is dedicated to ensuring all her clients receive the attention and coaching they need to succeed.

“Don’t look elsewhere, you’ve found your trainer!”
Whether you are a gym newbie or a seasoned competitor, Kerrin has what it takes to not only train, but to motivate and inspire you from personal experience. As an IFBB Bikini Pro, I know my body well and am confident in my own abilities to build a bikini body, but Kerrin has been one of the few people training out Gem Fitness consistently for the last year and half without pause, and she has the capabilities to work with anyone. She’s learned and mastered so much from Cem himself; she was able to teach me some new moves and get my glutes activated beyond my usual routine, burning for days, it was awesome! Aside from skill, she’s likely one of the smartest people you’ll meet which has easily translated into her training style. Don’t look elsewhere, you’ve found your trainer!

“Thank you to my rock, Kerrin, you are the best coach out there!”
OMG I did it! First National show in the books at Muscle Contest, NPC USA Nationals! I have so many emotions flowing but mostly I’m just SO proud of myself! You know what an amazing feeling that is?! To allow yourself to feel and be in the moment and realize perfection is relative. I had such a calm and peaceful energy and mindset going into this and truly allowed myself to just have fun through the process, not sweat the small stuff or be hard on myself. Thank you to my rock, Kerrin, you are the best coach out there!

“She goes above and beyond to provide me the right resources and material to be successful on my fitness journey.”
I came to Kerrin June 2017 at the start of my 16 week prep. After feeling lost and not having my needs met from my previous trainer, I had a gut feeling that I needed to find a new coach! I was very desperate and came across a Facebook post that mentioned Kerrin! I went to her Instagram and browsed through the work that she has done for herself and clients. I was very impressed! Since working with Kerrin, she told me the honest truth about my condition and what I needed to do for the 2017 NPC Ironman Show. In my head, I thought that I had plenty of time to diet, but I was wrong! Kerrin’s sustainable method is the safest route I could have ever done for myself. Being a beginner in this sport, I was super lost! I didn’t know much about counting macros, suit fitting, posing, or show registration. Kerrin walked me through each step and made sure I felt good about my journey. She goes above and beyond to provide me the right resources and material to be successful on my fitness journey. She genuinely cares about all of her clients and will be very honest. If it wasn’t for Kerrin, I would have not placed third in my very first show one year after giving birth! Kerrin and I are currently working towards Emerald Cup to bring an even leaner and overall better package to the stage. Thank you Kerrin for your support and guidance, much love.

“I felt the biggest sense of relief, feeling my best and bringing my best.”
I was coming towards the end of a 20-week prep with a different coach, feeling completely run down and drained, which is to be expected after a long prep. However, even after putting in the time and work, I still did not feel like I had tapped my full potential, and was about to be bringing a mediocre look to stage.
That’s when Kerrin came to the rescue, helping me realize that when you don’t feel ready, chances are you’re not! Right when I was ready to call it quit, Kerrin offered to look over my plan. She gave suggestions to adjust my macros and cardio plan to see if we can get the ball rolling. Five weeks later, I brought my leanest and best package to the Oregon State Championship. We achieved what I thought was going to be impossible in the healthiest ways without any fat burner, sodium, or water manipulation. Coming into the show, I felt the biggest sense of relief, feeling my best and bringing my best.
I met Kerrin at the beginning of our bodybuilding journey and it has been a pleasure to see her grow as a competitor. Her physique speaks for itself that she is an incredibly hard worker and very knowledgeable in training as well as nutrition. Not only that, she is kind and is always going out of her way to help others achieve their goals. I could not be happier to have her in my corner helping me put on strength and size for my next season. Kerrin believed in me and motivated me when I was at my lowest point in prep. I would recommend Kerrin to anyone looking for a coach that is always willing to be a hundred percent honest, will provide sound and reasonable explanations, and has your best health interest in mind.

“I am so grateful that I found a coach and mentor I can trust in this sport.”
I approached Kerrin for a competition prep 10 weeks out from the NPC Capitol Grand Prix in 2017. Ideally I would have started with Kerrin 16 weeks out from the show but I had already been dieting for 6 weeks with another team whose strategies did not align with my goals. One of the things that most impressed me about Kerrin was her attention to detail. Kerrin was insistent that I asked questions and felt comfortable to come to her with any of my concerns. She ALWAYS made me feel like a priority. With each check-in during my competition prep I learned something new and if there were questions she explained everything to me thoroughly. Kerrin always reiterated that the goals I had for myself were what mattered the most. Due to some personal and difficult life changes there were times I thought about quitting, but Kerrin helped me to believe in myself despite the changes in my life. I am so grateful that I found a coach and mentor I can trust in this sport and I can’t wait to begin prep for 2018.
