Testimonials
"I met Mara shortly after I had a heart attack due to a hereditary condition. At the time I was 60-70 lbs overweight, unhappy, and unaccustomed to my new sluggish demeanor. I met her in the gym and saw that she really had an expansive knowledge of fitness. I began a program of fitness with Mara and met with her consistently over the course of the next two years. Within that time, I came to a point where I was pretty close to the best shape of my life. I dropped around 70 lbs, and got below 200 lbs for the first time in 10 years. I was back to running marathons, mud runs, biking, and rock climbing, but more importantly, I was me again!! Throughout the process she helped me establish realistic goals, dial in my nutrition, stay positive through setbacks, and most importantly we became good friends!! There is no other health/fitness professional in the area that is more knowledgeable, credentialed, down to earth, and realistic about your goals. Wherever you are in your fitness today, she can realistically help you get to a better place tomorrow. Tell her what you would like to accomplish, and she will give you a plan of action to get there!"

"Over the last few years Mara has helped me incomparably. I first went to her with crippling shoulder pain caused by bone growths -- in just two weeks I was able to cancel my scheduled surgery, and the problem hasn't returned, even though the material is still in there. It is a joy to work with her and do what I can to alleviate the problems caused by an aging body. She's a great, empathetic, smart and no-nonsense trainer. Highest recommendations!"

"Mara is an exceptional trainer. I’ve been working with her for two months now and am developing ab,
core, and upper body strength I never thought possible. When I came to her I worried about further
injuring my already injured knee. She continually makes exercise modifications that help me to avoid
further injury. You are safe with her. She understands the body, how it works and what it needs to function
at its best. Admittedly I am a sloucher and have been for several years. Under Mara’s instruction my
posture is noticeably improving. I feel more alive than I have in many years. Her energy, her sense of
humor, her inventiveness, her infectious enthusiasm and unfaltering encouragement make working out a
joy. I look forward to our work outs and I’m loving my new body."
