You aren't going to find this in the gym, that's for sure. And the perma-diet will never give you the results or body you dream of!

Dear Friend,

Spring is here which means summer is only a nanosecond away! Now that warmer weather has returned, you might be finding your winter bulges blooming right along with the daffodils. This time however, are you yourself ready to do something different?

If you have ever failed to follow a diet...

Or discovered you don't enjoy exercising in a gym...

Or feel as though you have no energy...

Or felt frustrated with your body shape...

Or wanted to challenge yourself and really feel good about the way you look and feel...

Or if you are simply tired of being tired...

...it might be time to reconsider your approach to fitness and dieting.

It's not a fun place to be, but if you're thinking your workout and eating habits could be better, and don't know where to find the time and absolutely HATE gyms, let me assure you, you're not alone.

I, too, have had my moments. In fact, back when I was a teenager, I had packed 189 pounds on my 5 foot 4 inch frame. It took an innovative approach for me to permanently lose the weight and feel better.

And here's some good news. If you've been serial dieting for as long as you can remember with no real results, it may be you still haven't brought your greatest asset to bear - your mental powers.

And that means you're at a HUGE ADVANTAGE. Because the most powerful tool in your toolbox - your mind - is still waiting to be brought out in service of your ultimate health and fitness.

It was with that in mind that I created my 6 Week Outdoor Adventure Fitness Challenge. It's a complete, self-contained system for unleashing your peak fitness results in every respect - body, mind, diet - everything!

Here's what my clients tell me they've gotten out of the 6 Week Outdoor Adventure Fitness Challenge, the turn-key approach to fitness on all levels.

First and foremost, plenty of fresh air. You'll work out 5 mornings per week in the great outdoors, discovering and re-discovering local trails and open space. At no point do you see the inside of a gym, and that's a good thing because studies show the fitness benefits of exercising outdoors far outstrip those you get from working in a gym. And, besides, we literally turn the outdoor terrain into the most exciting and effective outdoor workout you've ever experienced! It's fun and focuses on max results. You not only take your cardiovascular fitness level to new heights in fun and creative ways, but you're plenty stronger in all categories because of it.

And it's total fitness, remember? So here's what else you can expect from saying yes to my 6 Week Challenge:

TESTIMONIALS:

"I have been training my whole life and can honestly say nothing has ever gotten me in this type of shape as fast and as strong as your Program. I have lost 30 pounds in 45 days! Thank you Michelle!!!" - Steve Becerra

"This Program has taught me how to change my eating habits to maximize my metabolism, and to eat truly healthy foods that will provide lasting long term health benefits. I have learned quite alot about the sabotaging effects that certain foods have on your body, as well as, the many benefits of other foods that I had never even tried eating before. The best part of the 90 Day Food Plan is that, unlike many diets that left me hungry and having uncontrollable cravings for bad foods, this plan actually leaves me feeling full and satisfied all day! I have not had any uncontrollable cravings, which has made it easy to stick to the plan. After 60 days on the program I have lost 27 pounds and reduced my percent body fat from 44% to 29% - that's 43 pounds of fat! I have gained 16 pounds of lean muscle mass as well which is helping me keep my metabolism up. The exercise program is challenging, and 5:30am is really early to be up and exercising, but Michelle and her trainers (and the other group members) make the workouts fun and interesting. We meet in different places each morning and do different kinds of workouts every day which keeps it from becoming routine or boring. You never know exactly what to expect which I enjoy! And the trainers are also very good at helping people to work at their own levels so that people are not going beyond their abilities until they are ready. Overall I feel great about myself since starting the program - I sleep better, have more energy, stay more focussed at work (get more done in less time), and people have commented that I seem less "stressed out" as well.
I would absolutely and enthusiastically recommend this program to others. It is the first program I have done that has given me the kind of results I want, and even better it is a program that I can easily see myself continuing to do for life!" - Debbie Purcell-Huynh

"In college I was in really good shape and enjoyed who I was. After getting married and having two kids, I ended up overweight and unhappy about the shape I was in. I had some limited success with diet programs but soon hit a plateau. I knew that to make any more progress I was going to have to commit to regular exercise, but I also realized that I would be unable to maintain it long term unless I found a program that was interesting and could be done early in the morning. I have lost 13 fat pounds, reduced my body fat by 5%, and I have gone down almost 2 dress-sizes! I love being able to walk into Ann Taylor (my favorite clothing store) and buy clothes off the rack again. Michelle has also introduced me to a healthy eating style. As a result of the program, I am much more aware of - not just the calories/fat/carbohydrate value of food, but also the overall nutritional value of fresh, unprocessed foods. As a result, even though my 90 day program is over, most of my meals are still based on the philosophy of the plan.
I've been left with a great sense of accomplishment. I can do this! I recommend this program to anyone! Michelle and her trainers are very good about working with everyone at their own level. I would encourage people to just try it. What can you lose? What could you gain?" - Eileen DeFeo

"I have been working with Michelle...over the past 3 years. I was drawn to her energy and enthusiasm for "well-being" vs. just a killer workout drill sergeant. She has made fitness at early hours of the morning...in the dark!...an exhilarating experience. We have logged many miles together on the trails and many hours of pushing through my personal barriers to succeed. When I started on Los Gatos Creek trail, I could barely run about 1/2 a mile without having to stop. Now I lead the pack up and around the hills focused on reducing my time, keeping my pace and making my workout "my time" for building a better me! Michelle's dedication to her students is evident and her drive for results is 2nd to none. You WILL see changes in your fitness level if you commit to consistency, eating right and striving for your personal best. The combination of weights, bands, cardio building, running techniques, yoga and stretching ensure a well-balanced regimen for all levels." - Heather Henderson

"Without a doubt, I have had more results with this program than working out in the gym and training for a marathon! It's truly a TOTAL body work out. I've never been able to get my stomach or thighs (I know, our toughest areas!) toned the way they are now. It really does feel great. I'm NOT a morning person, but I find once I'm there, I'm thrilled! The areas we go to are absolutely beautiful, and it starts my day off more energized. When I first started I thought everyone would be in this spectacular shape and I would 'lag' behind. Some were and some weren't but the bottom line is everyone was and are so kind. I DON'T do the taco bell 'run' anymore! And, I really can't say enough about how much I enjoy the program and your encouragement. Thanks Michelle!" - Teri Larkin, Fidelity National Title

"Michelle provides excellent outdoor training always changing the scenery. You won't get bored with the same routine. Good personal trainers are hard to find; Michelle has amazing amount of energy at 5:30 in the morning and it's contagious so it's worth getting up early in the morning to work out with someone like her." - Monica Maze

"As an athlete, Michelle's program has helped me rise from an average, middle of the pack racer to a podium finisher. The workouts are tough, and they reveal attributes about yourself that you never knew. Coming off of a 3-day non-stop expedition race, a summer of racing and self-led workouts, I was cocky. Thought I had it all dialed in for fitness. Then a friend recommended Michelle's workouts and OMG, the weak areas stood out immediately and I could feel it for days! Eight months later and I am faster, stronger, and getting ahead of the field. It's a great feeling. Thanks Michelle!" - Brandon Nugent

Michelle, I'm definitely ready to turbo-charge my metabolism and create my best self. How does this work?

The Ultimate Body Potential 6 week Outdoor Adventure Fitness Challenge '08 starts on May 5th and wraps on June 13th. Once you sign up, you and I begin by meeting and setting your self transformation in action.

We do an initial 1 hour coaching session to set your 6-week goals for your body fat percentage loss and to discover what you want to achieve during the Challenge (Get clear about what you want!). During this session, I will coach you to make sure we clear out the roadblocks to success before we even get started!
We also do a beginning weigh-in and body fat composition testing to give you the most accurate picture of where you're starting from so you can see and track measurable progress along the way.
I also provide you with a starting package that includes all the magic making tools you'll need to ensure your success

Once we've determined your goals, cleared out the cobwebs and prepared you for success, we get down to the heart of the Challenge.

You'll have access to my highly successful and motivating morning Outdoor Adventure Fitness Training workouts in either Mill Valley in the North Bay or Los Gatos in the South Bay 5 mornings per week. These are maximum results workouts! So be ready!
We continue with body fat composition testing so you can learn what the number on the scale really means and how to have a completely different relationship with your bathroom scale and your body! Remember, muscle weighs more than fat and you'll be acquiring plenty of LEAN muscle during your workouts!
Every Friday at noon, you have access to my Club Michelle for Peak Performance group coaching calls to learn all the Secrets you need to know to ignite your metabolism and shed unwanted body fat forever and dramatically improve the appearance of your skin just in time for summer (It's so easy; you can call in from your phone, anywhere!)
During this time, you'll also receive 3 sessions of SCIO Biofeedback to pinpoint exactly what you need to restore your body back to balance physically and to rejuvenate a new you!

What is SCIO? SCIO is the most advanced, revolutionary biofeedback system currently available. It's a machine that scans your body to detect everything from allergies to vitamin deficiencies, viruses to internal wellness. It's a comprehensive, non-invasive way to pinpoint and correct physical issues that might be standing in the way of your ultimate wellness and results.

But there's more. As a thank you for signing up, you receive:

A One Hour Deep Tissue sports massage!

Normally, to receive everything involved in the Challenge individually, it would cost you over $1500. But if you register now through May 3rd, save $$ with the Early Bird Spring Deal - only $699 (about the price of a week's worth of really nice restaurant meals).
Even if you register later, after the 3rd, it's still a deal! -- $899

Sounds great Michelle. Sign me up for the 6-week Life-Changing Challenge! I understand that I receive:

An Initial Coaching Session with Michelle Van Otten (Value $299)

And I Get The Keys To The Body I've Always Dreamed Of! (Value $Priceless!)

You've explained that if I invested in each of these wellness products individually, it would run me over $1500 (and it would still be worth it), but that through May 3rd, I pay only $699, and only $899 if I register late.

FAQ Section

What will you be doing during your training?

We turn the outdoors into our total body conditioning 'gym'. You will be using weights, resistance bands, bodyweight exercise, swiss balls, TRX suspension training systems and more! We make your workout fun, unique and appropriately challenging for all muscles groups. We place an emphasis on developing strong and correct functional movement patterns, strong and functional core (abs and back), balance, improved posture and breathing to really increase your level of fitness and functioning. Our proprietary methods of training your body are second to none and guaranteed for maximum results. We take pride in offering expert, cutting edge fitness training with an individual focus on your needs and goals.

Where will you be meeting?

One of the best things our clients love about our training program is the variety of terrain we expose you to. Keeping in mind that you have to take yourself out of your comfort zone in order to make any progress, we help your body do this by offering training in varied locations so your body never gets used to training in the same environment (ahem.. "the gym!") All locations, whether Mill Valley or Los Gatos are ALL within the immediate town limits so you can expect quick access to and from training locations. A DETAILED CALENDAR AND DIRECTIONS LIST WIL BE PROVIDED WITH YOUR REGISTRATION!

How long is the morning training session?

Each morning we ask that you arrive at least 10-15 minutes early and begin stretching and getting ready. We start promptly and before you know it your 75 minute training session will be over!

See Weekly Schedule

What if I am not in great shape now and I worry about being able to do this?

THIS IS WHY WE ARE HERE!!! You are training with us because you are getting in shape. That said, you must be injury free and be in good health with physician's clearance to exercise. Having some level of fitness under your belt will be easier but we do have all levels from multisport athletes to working on being athletes! Please talk to us if you have any questions about your starting level.

If I am a multisport athlete how will this training help me?

This training program will catapult your performance no matter what sport you do. All of the functional strength training we do translates directly into increased performance, strength, endurance and skill. We have worked with triathletes, adventure racers, marathon runners and more - all of whom take their game to the next level as a result of working with us on many levels.

What equipment will I need?

You will need to purchase two sets of hand weights (lighter set and a heavier set), mat, Swiss ball and perhaps a rolling carry on piece of luggage to make transporting these items to your training a cinch for you! There are many benefits to having your own equipment-including the fact that you will know exactly how to work out anywhere, anytime creatively!

One question, though: what if it doesn't work for me?

There's absolutely no risk to you! I personally guarantee the effectiveness of my training programs. And I'm as committed to your success as you are, so if you've given it your 100% best effort and have shown up at the workouts, taken on the nutrition plan completely and made it to the tele-coaching calls but you still don't feel that you're getting AWESOME RESULTS worth every dime and more, I insist that you take me up on my 100% MONEY BACK GUARANTEE.

Hurry! I only offer the 6 Week Challenge once per year! It's THE ultimate in outdoor-based, body-mind-habit transformational fitness, so don't wait until next year to become your best you. And group size is limited, so if you've decided to get off the diet merry-go-round and claim your ultimate body, SIGN UP NOW. What do you have to lose?

To the best possible you,
