Michell Damm Gullett
Irvine
Senior Membership Manager, Renaissance ClubSport

A single mother in her 30s, Michell Damm Gullet knows about juggling multiple demands. She works in management for Renaissance ClubSport in Aliso Viejo and has been in the fitness industry for more than 10 years.
   
“I have been a single working mother since my daughter was 1,” says Gullet. “I work 50 to 60 hours a week, and as a personal goal I trained for the IFBB Pro Fitness competition in March. I earned my first Pro card at the USA Finals in July 2009.”
   
Her greatest joy as a working mother is the knowledge that she is being an example and role model for her daughter as she grows and develops into the person and woman she will become.
   
“My greatest challenge is making sure to be there for my daughter and at the same time giving it my all in my career, knowing that I am providing for my daughter and her well-being, health and joy. Even on the toughest days, I know in the end it pays off.” renaissanceclubsport.com

Michell’s tip: “Just being a mom is a challenging job. Try to curb the guilt and don’t worry what you may feel about not being there every moment.”
