I'm a 69-year- old woman who has been training with Maria for 3+ years now. She really knows her stuff! She takes pains to stay current with professionals online and elsewhere and is a continuous learner. As you probably know, various exercises are embraced by the training world, only to be discredited a few years later as the injuries start to show up. Maria uses her extensive knowledge of the body and her research to stay ahead of this curve, providing an extra layer of safety while also keeping workouts fresh and updated. Maria really cares about her clients, too. She has seen me through a knee replacement and an auto accident which affected my shoulder, always checking in with me about what I'm feeling and modifying the exercises so that I get maximum benefit as I heal. I can't recommend her enough!

Maria has been my trainer for many years. She loves being a trainer and it shows when you are. Working out With her. She is always try’ing new routines and new equipment to keep you motivated and interested. Her workout routine is tough and challenging, but you feel great afterwards. I would recomend her services highly.

I highly recommend Maria. She is extremely knowledgeable and supportive. She designs the program after assessing your physical capabilities and then and only then dose she design a program that is specific to your needs and goals. I have been with Maria for several years and she has helped me to maintain and improve my overall condition. Maria G

I would highly recommend Maria to anyone seeking to improve their overall physical wellness. She has the knowledge and skills . Her classes are one on one. My goals were to improve my strength, balance and flexibility. Maria developed a specific program to fit my age (75+) and my goals. Maria and I have achieved all of these goals. My overall health has improved with each session. I'm happy and my doctor's are too.

I have been training with Maria for about six years. I am in my early 60s, and have had some issues with knee and back injuries. When I started I had back pain, no upper arm strength, and was pretty stiff. She focused a lot on improving my flexibility and endurance. She is very cautious with injured or painful areas. Her workouts are tailored to one’s personal needs. They are challenging; she encourages you to push yourself, but is mindful of any limitations. I am in better shape now than I was 20 years ago. I would highly recommend Maria!

I started 270 pounds and not feeling well of my health. I ask Maria what can I do to start my journey she thought me so much it open my eyes to so many things like from nutrition labels and learning how to read them to exercise programs that’s best fit me starting slow with light weights to great programs heavy weights that never could do myself. Well today at 160 pounds feeling amazing can’t tell you how amazing and perfect the journey was for me thanks again Maria for all you do and how well you do it and giving someone the strength and support!

Maria trains my 13 yr. old son. He is an aspiring athlete. Could not ask for a better trainer to teach the foundation and correct form to prevent injury and build speed and strength. My son leaves sore but with a feeling of accomplishment. She really knows her stuff and is a full of energy and morivation. She is patient and enthusiastic. Highly recommend. Young athletes will truly benefit from her expertise.

Maria is great. She had me work every muscle group on our first appointment. She is adamant about proper form to prevent injuries and explains everything in great detail. I had an excellent workout and look forward to working with Maria going forward!

Awesome Experience! Session was great and I look forward to returning. Maria focuses on proper body alignment and technique to prevent injuries while providing a full body workout. I highly recommend her!

Lisa L.

Very pleased! I am so impressed by Maria’s knowledge, skill and dedication. I am in my 60s with some medical issues and I feel completely comfortable that she understands my body, what I can safely do and how to get results. She pays close attention to form and emphasizes the mind body connection. Our workouts are thorough and she keeps detailed notes on my progress. I cannot recommend highly enough.
