Michelle (Meesh)

Meesh first discovered Pure Barre as a client in 2013 and quickly fell in love with the workout and the community. She began teaching in 2016, leading classes at studios across Chicago, and in 2023 stepped into the role of Owner of PBSL. What started as a love for the workout quickly grew into a passion for teaching and the community that forms inside the studio. With a background in business and leadership, Michelle brings both heart and strategy to the studio. She is passionate about creating a welcoming, supportive space where clients feel encouraged to challenge themselves, celebrate progress, and build lasting connections. When she's not on the mic or behind her computer, she can be found attempting to corral the chaos between her son, husband, and their dog Draper (a frequent studio guest), while also squeezing in Chicago restaurant adventures and almost any Bravo show she can find. Michelle is certified in all Pure Barre formats.
