Introduction: Hello! My name is Maria Blazek, I have been a certified personal trainer since 2016 and have worked with individuals of all ages. My passion is strength training & helping individuals live a healthier lifestyle through sustainable nutrition, exercise & wellness habits. I became passionate about helping others reach their goals after struggling with some of my own health issues & going through a weight loss journey in my freshman year of college, which helped me to find my passion for weightlifting and competitive powerlifting in college. I most recently competed in a natural figure show and placed first in all 3 divisions. I received my Bachelors from The Ohio State University in Health Promotion, Nutrition & Exercise Science in 2017 & received a Bachelors in Nursing in 2019. I believe in using a holistic approach to wellness & find that true overall health is found in the pursuit of mental, spiritual & emotional wellness as well as physical. I am currently offering online coaching only- for those experienced with in person training who may want some extra guidance, structure or accountability as well as for nutrition. I have recently moved to the Oceanside area and offer one on one sessions. Please send me a message if you are interested in working with me.
