Introduction: It seems like it should be easy, getting fit. Even if you have a plan in place, it can be extremely difficult and frustrating trying to find the energy to implement it. Hi, I'm Marianne, and I'm originally from N. Ireland. I started my career as a Cardiac Nurse over 10 years ago, but along the way, I gravitated towards fitness as a way to help promote long-term health and wellness. Having a chronic illness myself (an autoimmune arthritis), I know first hand the health benefits of exercise; both physically and mentally (living with pain is not easy). I'm an ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, Certified Kettlebell Instructor, Founder of MyomyFitness, MyomyStudio, The Pull-Up Academy, and Co-Founder of Girls Gone Strong and Get Glutes. I have been helping people find their fit-selves online and in person for 8 years. Now I'd love to help you reach your goals. Honestly, the best part of the work that I do is seeing the changes in my clients' demeanour. Not just seeing them get physically stronger, moving better and getting leaner, but seeing them find confidence they didn't know they had. Their fitness journey becomes an expression of who they are, and it causes a shift in how they see themselves. In effect they become fit for their purpose in life and it's wonderful to be a part of their story.

Marianne is an excellent coach/personal trainer. She adapted a programme to suit me...a 56yr ol woman, who thought Kettle bells and fitness programmes were out of the question! Marianne started me off with body weight exercises and really simplified these so I could both do them and stick with the programme! (consistency was never my strong point). She also gave me sound advice on my diet and when I combined her exercise programme with the diet advice I lost almost 2 stone (28lbs) in weight, had a more toned physique and felt a lot more confident as a result. I dropped two dress sizes and everyone commented on how well I looked. Therefore, I would highly recommend Myomy Coaching by Marianne!

Marianne is best personal trainer I have ever worked with. The strength training routines she taught me have become the basis of all my training. Her knowledge of the physics and chemistry of movement is evident. As a science graduate her expert knowledge stands out from the crowd . She has a focus on functional fitness. She seems to really understands how to get her clients to challenge themselves to new fitness levels whilst avoiding injury. With Marianne's PTs i learnt to get "more bang for my buck" from a short work out of 30-45 minutes 3 times a week. She is an expert on glute training . For anyone preparing for up coming running cycling or triathlon events, Marianne also offers the extra 90 Minutes of focused strength training to bring you to the next level .

I cannot recommend training by Marianne highly enough. I was completly unfit, hadn't exercised in about a year and had just got engaged. I had came to the point where I wad uncomfortable with myself and new I needed to do something but hated running or going to a gym. I was embarrassed that I didn't really know what I was doing and without someone to push me on if I'm honest I just went and did a bit to say I had been but hardly ever broke a sweat. I had seen different things about kettle bells and thought I would maybe like to give them a go. I researched trainers in my area and to my delight I found Marianne. I had known her through a mutual friend years ago and thought I would ask her to help. It was the best thing I ever did. Marianne Tailored my workout to suit me from the word go. My body did some weird things when trying to squat and do press ups, and my right finger came out when doing left handed kettle bell swings lol When doing squats my knee would turn out and I could never do them properly, marianne tried different techniques with me to get it right. She is so friendly and we had great fun in the sessions we had. To be honest I think I kept her talking when I needed a sneaky break:0) When I started I couldn't lift 5kg by the end I was lifting LOTS more. I loved every bit of my sessions. I felt stronger, healthier, fitter and more confident as a result. And if I do say so myself I looked good on my wedding day lol My only negative comment is she went and left the country and I need her again after having a baby and have let myself go. COME BACK MARIANNE.

I have had two, three month programmes working out online with Marianne over the last 3 years. I first found her coaching site my o my tv accidentally when looking how to use kettlebells. I did not want to become a member of a gym. I had a couple of starter kettlebells and I needed to know how to use them and I wanted to lose fat and gain muscle. Her site and programmes offered exactly what I was looking for as a beginner. My body shape transformed in the first three months. And despite have a break from workout sessions over a time since the first three months, I maintained the most part of the muscle shape and definition I had worked on. Returning to kettlebells the second time around as more of an advanced exerciser, was to improve all over fitness to prepare me for 6 months backpacking. By the second month I was noticing a lot of difference in my cardio fitness, flatter belly and arm and leg definition. I love working with Marianne. Even though it is done online with much distance between us and I needed to motivate myself more and be disciplined because of this, she provides a very personal programme and offers a great amount of support. I think the key with Marriane is that she listens and sees you as a whole person rather than a fitness object. She works on your emotional barriers to really drive you to your goals. She is a very intuitive, knowledgable, organised and gentle personal trainer. She has motivated me to be a better exerciser as well as a to be a better person to myself and others. I couldn't recommend her highly enough.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Yes, my standard price is $65 per session if you pay as you go (paid online or point of contact via Square). While you may want to sign up for a few sessions to begin with so you can test the waters, there are additional benefits if you commit to at least 3 months upfront. Not only will you receive up to 40% discount for those 3 months, and you'll remain at that rate month-to-month as long as you stay on board, but the "3 month mark" is when results really start showing. Plus, when you invest more because you value yourself, you're more likely to succeed. Depending on the frequency of weekly sessions (and this is flexible), and whether you're training alone or with others my rates range from $234/mo (for 1 person training once a week) - $1529/ (for 4 people training 3 times a week). Individual and couples training take place at my studio in Jenkintown, PA. For groups of 4, I will travel to your home, office, or local park to deliver your training sessions (and I can bring all the equipment we need for the perfect workout). Rates include up to 15 minutes of travel time (based on google maps' estimate for the time of day your session is scheduled for) from my home in Hatboro, PA 19040. However, from 15-30 minutes travel time there will be a flat fee of $10 (I only charge travel for my drive to our sessions). I also have various packages which can be discussed. They include training sessions, a fitness program and possibly a blend of in-person and online coaching (ex. One in person session and one online session via Skype per week if you live farther away). Wedding Packages, Transformation Packages, Beach Body, Glute Building Programs and I can help you achieve your very first unassisted Chin-up/Pull up with my new program. NOTE: If there's a month that has 5 weeks then that is included in your payment. You can pay this online via my subscription or invoice system.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Firstly we have a free consultation by phone. This consultation involves me getting to know my new client better, and them getting to know me. It's important to see if the coach/coachee relationship is a good fit for both parties. The central mission of my business is to meet my clients where they are at on their fitness journey and take them to where they want to go so getting to know more about their history with exercise and what is driving/impeding them helps when structuring their coaching. During the first meeting I gather information about the prospective client so that I understand their goal(s), why it's important, timeframe, any any other expectations they have regarding training. I listen out for any anxiety or self-doubt they might have about what the sessions might be like so I can provide information about my training approach and offer a proposal for how many sessions, how many months, and any additional advice that will help them in reaching their goals. Once they are happy to continue, I ask them to complete a Heath Questionnaire/Par-Q to identify and categorise any risk of conditions that may require exercise modification or clearance by a medical professional. Next, we move to completing my client consent and agreement form so we can begin planning their first training session. The first session is what I call a "foundations day" and is much less intense as we go through my client's movement assessment which establishes their baseline. This helps me tailor workouts to their current capabilities. If the client is inexperienced with exercises, I will spend this initial session refining exercise form on 8 foundation movement patterns which are essential to establish early on so progressions can be considered carefully. These movement patterns are: a squat, a hip hinge, push-up, a Glute bridge, lunge, overhead press, row, and a plank. These patterns show me my clients current motor control (mobility, stability, co-ordination, awareness) and technique. Any tightness or pain can be addressed (appropriate referrals made to other professionals if required) and the safest, individualised plan made to help them reach and exceed their goals. Each session after that may include skill work along side the workouts so they reach their goal by building on a strong foundation. I am always happy to answer questions along the way.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
I began in the fitness industry back in 2010 when I started my blog as a hobby along side my Nursing career.

Here is a summary of my education and certificates: ACSM Certified Personal Trainer BSc in Nursing Registered Nurse in the United Kingdom - active Certified fitness instructor, Certified Kettlebell Instructor Certified Olympic Weight-Lifting Coach Fully Insured CPR/AED Basic Life Support (Red Cross)
