💖 Meet Michele Stutzman

Founder of Inspire 4 Life Coaching
Co-Creator of Below the Surface Coaching & Consulting
Certified Life Coach | ACE Certified Personal Trainer | Group Fitness Expert

Coach Michele has spent over 35 years leading in the fitness industry, teaching a wide variety of classes including Spin, Step, Zumba, Body Pump, Pilates, Barre, and HIIT. Her energy, authenticity, and fierce passion for helping others have earned her lifelong students and deep respect within her field. But behind her powerful presence is a story of struggle, surrender, and rising stronger—physically, emotionally, and spiritually.

In her early 50s, Michele hit a deeply personal crossroads. As a newly divorced mother of an adult son—and following a sudden, painful breakup—she found herself questioning everything. Her identity, her purpose, even her future felt uncertain. For the first time, this woman known for her grit and positivity felt completely disconnected from her body, her routine, and her inner spark.

But Michele has never been one to stay down for long. In the quiet of her healing, something stirred. A single moment—watching Eckhart Tolle on a talk show—ignited something in her. That spark led her to dive into teachings from Tolle, Tony Robbins, and other transformational leaders. What followed was a full-body, full-life reset.

From that healing journey, Inspire 4 Life Coaching was born—a coaching practice rooted in foundational movement and holistic strength.

As Michele continued coaching and working with women, she recognized a deeper need beyond physical strength.

This inspired the creation of Below the Surface Coaching & Consulting—a collaborative container that focuses on emotional wellness, inner healing, and the transformation that happens when women are given safe space to explore what's beneath their burnout, grief, or disconnection.

Below the Surface is where Michele’s intuitive gift as a listener, motivator, and truth-teller shines. It’s where she helps clients dig into their real stories—the parts often hidden under performance or perfection—and begin to rewrite them with strength, clarity, and compassion.

Today, Michele serves as a coach, mentor, movement guide, and light-holder for women who are ready to come home to themselves—stronger, wiser, and more radiant than ever before.
