Hiring MaryLou as a trainer has been one of the best investments I’ve ever made. Not only have I been losing weight, but I’ve also been getting stronger and my endurance has been getting better and better. MaryLou is dedicated and creates such a fun and chill environment for training which I love. She’s also serious about things like form (you’d be surprised how many people tend to overlook that). I used to have extreme knee pain during workouts & just in my day to day, because my form wasn’t right & none of the trainers I’ve worked with would correct it. She’s shown me how to do all of my exercises properly & not only am I finally seeing the results, but I have NO PAIN ANYMORE! Seriously, if you’re hesitating, don’t. Your health is an investment and you should be investing it with people who are. MaryLou is one of them!!

I came on thumbtack looking for a personaltrainer and it was a bit overwhelming. MaryLou made finding a trainer on here much easier than past experiences. She’s flexible, easy to talk to, and a great trainer! I’m always sore after training with her and I can tell she’s really helping me. I would highly recommend her for anyone!

My first time working with a trainer and I couldn’t have asked for anyone better than MaryLou! She will push you to help you achieve your goals while at the same time taking it slow with the goal of developing a lifestyle of fitness and consistency over time!

I've been working with MaryLou for about two months now and she's been a great trainer! She's helped me fine tune my diet. I was previously on a Keto diet and wanted to reverse out of that. MaryLou looked at my macros and adjusted it for my needs. I've managed to hit a lower weight, build more muscle and I continue to feel stronger while eating more than I was before.
I wanted to find a trainer that understood nutrition as much as they did the physical training aspect and as a trainer she's very knowledgable in both areas. She's also very encouraging as a trainer and just enjoyable to be around. I would definitely recommend hiring her if you are looking to work with a trainer.
