The Woman Missing in the Mirror (Paperback)

Dean Mitchell’s first book, The Woman Missing in the Mirror, began as a means to bridge the gap between a woman’s true physical potential and her ability to actually achieve it. In a deliberate attempt to not offer “just another fitness book for women” filled with fancy words and concepts that only a highly educated fitness professional would be able to apply, Mitchell’s intention with the book is to provide the reader with the precise tools needed for her success while also discussing a key ingredient overlooked in virtually every other program, an ingredient proved to set his methods apart from the rest. His “Make It Work with What You’ve Got” motto addresses the idea that you don't need to put your kids and spouse up for adoption or leave your career behind to take up residence at your local gym in order to achieve the look you desire. Nor do you need to put yourself on a diet so restrictive on calories that would make Gandhi look like he’s overeating to see the changes in the mirror you badly desire. You can still be a mommy, wife and social butterfly!

• Achieve your best body and fitness level tailored to… You!
• Get the precise tools needed for your success at any age or physical level
• Replace bad habits with new alternatives helping you lose weight and reach your fitness goals.
• Solve underlying problems like proper nutrition that stop you from achieving your true physical potential.
• Find out how to work around hectic schedules and high demands that you face today.
• And Finally! Take back your identity - Find that woman who’s been missing in the mirror.

Mitchell’s approach is simple: He teaches you how to solve underlying problems rather than continually treating your symptoms. He will coach you on how to replace a few bad habits with some new alternatives, all while applying his principles to the personal challenges you’re faced with; be it weight loss, proper nutrition, general fitness or building the best body that you can achieve.



Through more than a decade of training women of all ages and walks of life, he has developed principles found in this book that have been used by countless women to achieve levels of success they never dreamed possible.

His unique methods teach you exactly how to work around hectic schedules and high demands that you face today. Whether you’re that busy mother trying to juggle the demands of raising children while maintaining a house and your marriage and you find yourself last on the to-do list. Or maybe you’re the highly ambitious woman spending every waking second and all of your energy on a career and your climb to the top. Or maybe you’re the woman who’s in the later stages of life and wanting to live out the rest of your days keeping up with grandchildren and taking advantage of every opportunity to make your final memories.

His book is filled with countless stories of the women he has worked with and the challenges they’ve faced in their journeys, and how they were able to overcome them. Mitchell shares his own deeply personal story showing a dark past filled with turmoil and tragedies that most people have never been subjected to. It is through these stories that he is able to illustrate how easy it is to apply his principles to your own life and the challenges you’re faced with, regardless of difficulty.


Whichever woman you are, this book has the tools you need to take back your identity, to find that woman who’s been missing in the mirror far too long. You no longer have to feel helpless, you no longer have to carry with you the feeling of hopelessness because everyone else’s needs come far before your own. Mitchell’s hopes for his book "The Woman Missing in the Mirror" is that it will spread his message to as many women as possible that you don’t have to choose between the woman you deserve to be and the daily responsibilities you face!

Dean Mitchell is an entrepreneur, author, and health and wellness expert who has found extreme success through working exclusively with women all over the country to help them achieve the unachievable.

With his career in the fitness industry dating back to the better part of fifteen years, it’s easy to understand how he’s held every position imaginable. From scrubbing floors and fitness equipment to managing the day-to-day operations of big-box clubs, he eventually settled into his current position as a fitness consultant for women throughout the country.

He is the co-founder of Mitchell Fitness Solutions, his premier fitness training facility located in Northville Michigan that is one-hundred percent personalized to fit his clients individual needs.

Despite the success Dean has achieved in his career, his personal life includes a dark past that most are shocked to learn about. Starting out life without his biological father and with a mother who struggled with mental illness and drug addiction, he and his two siblings grew up in a poverty-stricken environment filled with chaos and turmoil. With his mother struggling to care for herself, let alone her children, he recalls being forced to grow up extremely quickly to tend to his mother’s and younger siblings’ needs. Despite his challenging beginnings, life has continued to test his will through experiences with tragedy and loss that most of us only read about. A few of Dean’s “tests,” as he calls them, include his mother suffering a massive stroke that would leave her partially paralyzed without the use of one side of her body at the young age of forty-four. The loss of both his siblings through suicide and a drug overdose are just a few more examples of what he has had to overcome before reaching his mid-thirties.

Despite being faced with adversity that would force most to throw in the towel, it is Dean’s insatiable desire to help others that has kept him focused on his life’s purpose. His latest project is his first book, The Woman Missing in the Mirror. He hopes through his book will help extend his reach even farther, making him an ambassador for women throughout the world, convincing them of the true potential they posses by giving them the same set of his unique principles he’s provided each of his clients that has allowed so many to see their true potential and how limitless it is.
