ABOUT US

Marlene is patient but pushes me out of my comfort zone. When I don’t Understand something, she takes the time to re-explain in a different way to ensure my safety. She helps me to stay motivated, especially when I am having altough, stagnant week. She continuously thinks of new ways to challenge me.”

"After being approached by pushy trainers at the gym, I was hesitant to start working with a trainer. One of my friends had been working with Marlene and spoke highly of her so I decided to give it a chance. Upon meeting Marlene, I immediately could see why my friend liked working with her so much. Marlene's ability to create workouts that are challenging, engaging and fun is amazing and I look forward to our sessions every week (and miss them so much when I'm traveling). On top of her great in-person sessions, her homework ensures that I continue to challenge myself regularly even when I don't have a session. Marlene's personality is positive and her energy is contagious. She listens to me and pays attention to how I'm feeling, makes modifications as needed, while still pushing me to put in my all. I've noticed so much progress throughout my time working with Marlene and recommend her highly."

"When I started my path to better health, mobility and strength deciding to work with a personal trainer was the best decision I ever made. Marlene not only customized a program for me but provided encouragement to make my goals a reality. Sadly I moved out of state so am very excited that she is starting a webpage so I can work with her again! "

"Once I turned 50, I thought it would be nearly impossible and thoroughly painful to try to get into shape again. But after getting a diagnosis of high blood pressure, rather than take medication, I decided I’d try to get healthy through exercise. Marlene is amazing. What she knows about psychological health and its impact on physical health (and vice versa) is not only fascinating but also helps me make sense of every single workout. I’ve found myself getting stronger, regaining my balance, bringing down my blood pressure and basically being excited about going to train with her. She’s gentle but gets results. And she easily works around my crazy schedule. And the post-workout massage is everything!"

I'm so thankful to have been trained by Marlene. Marlene is a kind, understanding and patient trainer. Although personal training is a business, I never received that impression when I was with her. Whenever I trained with Marlene, she was never on her phone, but always very attentive and encouraging. She never rushed during our training sessions and if I had any questions, she would thoroughly explain everything until I fully understood the exercise. I never felt like just another client because I sensed that she genuinely cared about me as a person and really wanted me to succeed in my health goals. Unfortunately, I am not able to work with her as often as I used to due to moving. But I would highly recommend to take her as a personal trainer. She is truly one of the best!”
