Fit means unlocking your mental and physical potential, nurturing your health and happiness, and using your unique talents to transform your life.

Whether it is through choosing the best ingredients for a healthy meal, breathing effectively during a workout or calculating the correct amount of sleep, I have dedicated my time and career to finding the life hacks that turn today’s crazy world into an exciting playground. In addition to being a NASM-Certified personal trainer, my years of experience as a yoga teacher and health coach allow me to tackle your challenges in a holistic way.

My mission in life is to help you redefine your relationship with food, sleep, and stress so that you can build momentum both inside and outside of the gym. In each of your sessions, I target the movements and mindsets that are critical to achieving your goals and becoming the most powerful version of yourself.

Marie R.

Aug 15, 2023

Mari is an exceptional trainer and coach and I wholeheartedly recommend her after training together for 4 years. She has excellent technical knowledge and skill, and is great at giving feedback and unlocking difficult to diagnose issues (both physical and sometimes mental). She is passionate about her work - she is constantly learning and genuinely wants to help her clients achieve their goals, whatever those goals may be. She is extremely observant and isn’t afraid to deliver direct feedback when necessary for growth, but always does so with kindness. She’s also an excellent pre and postnatal trainer, and her guidance was exactly in line with my PT’s. Mari guided me through some intense and difficult times - as a working mom to a toddler during the early days of the pandemic, through IVF, a pregnancy and postpartum, Mari has been there with me every step of the way, helping me to feel strong, balanced and energized when it otherwise seemed impossible. After working out with various trainers for over 12 years, Mari is the very best I’ve been lucky enough to train with and learn from.

Mari is an incredible trainer. Over the past three years, she has taught me how to lift weights with correct form and with confidence (I had never lifted before), helped me heal muscle injuries while increasing my strength, and adjusted my training program to accommodate life changes & stresses. If you're looking for a trainer who will help you accomplish your fitness goals, while always staying attuned to your mental health, Mari is the place to go!

After a few years in the workforce, I began experiencing lots of pain that impacted my ability to do all the activities I once loved like running, hiking, and yoga. While I tried working with traditional physical therapists, I found that my pain wasn’t going away and I needed to try something different. I started looking for a trainer and luckily found Mari! From the very beginning, Mari helped me set goals and get real about what I wanted to accomplish. She put together a personal training program that got me really strong, working out with proper (and safe) form, and pain-free. I would recommend Mari to anyone looking to work with a personal trainer or health coach. Her extensive knowledge, professionalism, and unique training approach will help you achieve your goals.

Mari is great, and her approach to fitness is really well rounded, paying attention to the mental and emotional sides of wellness, and how they can affect the physical. She was also incredibly knowledgeable and patient when I injured myself (outside of the gym) and had to modify my workouts to focus on rehabilitation. I love a strong, independent female business owner, and I would recommend her as a trainer any day.

I meet every single new client for a complimentary in-person consultation!

Education is everything to me when it comes to being my best self and best coach.
