Two months ago I was always in pain and my digestive system was always upset. I could barely go for walks because how bad the pain was. Marilyn has helped me completely change the way I eat and I haven’t been in any pain since. I feel healthier and have lost 10lbs! I am so grateful!

Working with Marilyn has been wonderful. I have lost weight and inches, and gained flexibility and stamina. Her willingness to work around my crazy work schedule, which often means last minute changes to workouts, is very appreciated. I recommend her to anyone who wants that personal touch. I am over sixty and have neglected my fitness for years so it is never too late to start.

Marilyn is a pleasure to work with. She develops an exercise plan that is specific to your needs. She is great about checking in with me during the session to make sure that everything feels good. She has even reached out to my physical therapist to make sure that we are doing the best exercise program for me! In addition, she sends periodic texts with messages of inspiration - so appreciated. I am just starting my journey with her, but am already starting to feel stronger.

When I first started working out with Marilyn six months ago, I had severe back pain and poor balance. After one session my back felt much better and I canceled my orthopedic doctor appointment. She was also able to help me with a terrible knee problem. She decided it was coming from my balance issues and started exercises which gave me wonderful relief. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get fit safely. She follows up with videos and complete instructions. The videos she gives me are not generic, she customized them for me! I promise you won’t be disappointed!

Marilyn is great! She's been doing this for a very long time and it's clear from the first time you speak with her that she knows what she's doing and you're in excellent hands. Everything you do is extremely well catered to your current fitness level and is very flexible with the programming if something starts to go wrong. After 5 months or so, I'm as strong as I've ever been and doing exercises I wouldn't have even dreamed of doing even in high school, 10 years ago. Do what she says and you will see results.

Marilyn is truly my guru! I've been thru chiropractic, physical therapy, and orthopedics and occasionally using a cane, spending a great portion of my life in pain. But since I have been stretching with Marilyn, my back has never felt better and the cane went back into the closet. She knew how to design a program to fit my abilities and my limitations, as well as my schedule, and she is always available for questions and assistance. This is a great program!

Marilyn is my Functional Fitness Guru and I am seeing measurable improvement and progress each week. I am most impressed by her knowledge of the body’s muscles and how to soothe any tenderness I may feel any where. The continuous check on my body’s feedback makes me confident that I have Marilyn’s focused attention throughout our time together. This is the best exercise program that I have undertaken in years!

Marilyn is great! Super attentive to her client’s needs. My back has been hurting due to long hours at work, and the stretches we do during our workouts have been really helpful in reducing my pain. Couldn’t recommend enough!

Marilyn is the consummate professional and has been a pleasure to work with. She's customized a work out, nutrition and stretching plan that is a great fit for me! Seeing good results quickly and looking forward to a more healthy future!!

I initially reached out to Marilyn at functional fitness guru because of nagging back pain. I am pleased to say that our workouts alleviated my back pain very quickly. Once the back pain was gone, Marilyn increased the intensity of our workouts to help me reach my new goals which included participating in adventurous Travel. Workouts are always tailored to meet my needs. They are hard work but a lot of fun! I actually look forward to working out now and feel a huge difference in my overall well-being! When I began working out with Marilyn, we did it locally and in person. I have since moved out of state and our workouts are now virtual. I was initially a little bit wary about virtual workouts, but they have been every bit as good. And, as an additional benefit, the virtual training has made it easy to fit in extra workouts that may only be 15 to 30 minutes. I get my best workouts with Marilyn! She is knowledgeable, professional and fun and I highly recommend her!

I have been working out with Marilyn for over 11 years. I am 74 years old and I’m indebted to Marilyn for having kept me in great shape. She’s a personable trainer with an excellent knowledge of the musculoskeletal system. Early on I was having knee pain and she felt it was coming from my back. Sure enough my knee pain resolved after we worked on the appropriate muscle groups. She is A+ all around!

Dr. Robert V.

I was able to get rid of lower back discomfort I was having! Great service highly recommend!

I have used Marilyn as a trainer for several years in person and virtually. Our virtual sessions 3x per week are great! My fitness level has improved even more than before as we are very focused during our sessions. Marilyn is very responsive and modifies my workout as needed to deal with any issues I may be having. I highly recommend Marilyn at Functional Fitness Guru!

Cindy M.

I have been working out with Marilyn for two years. She is a very kind, caring and compassionate person. She is also very knowledgeable in the anatomy and physiology of exercise. She goes above and beyond to help you meet your goals. She is by far the best personnel trainer I have ever had. I look forward to our weekly sessions. Because of her I have learned to love exercise.

Functional Fitness Guru has been extremely helpful in helping me achieve my fitness goals. I noticed the difference in my weight and endurance in a short time after starting. The online program really made a difference to me with my busy schedule. And it was personalized for my needs, which I loved. Thank you, Marilyn!

Karen M.

I have been training with Marilyn at Functional Fitness Guru for several years. She personalizes each workout to my needs and diligently adjusts exercises as needed to achieve the desired goals! She even helped me with my rehabilitation after I experienced a sports related injury. I fully recommend her whether you're a beginner or someone who is experienced in fitness and wants help moving to the next level!

I 've been working with Marilyn at Functional Fitness Guru for 4 months and I've lost 24 pounds and almost back to my ideal weight. I was a yo-yo dieter and weekend athlete all my life and it wasn’t until I started with FFG that I learned how to eat and incorporate exercise into a doable routine. I had chronic back pain off and on for the last 10 years but it turned out that it was lifestyle related. She gave me daily stretches and I haven't had any pain since we started and I am getting ready to start yoga again. It was a lot of work, but Marilyn’s gradual approach and 10 percent cheat rule makes her program something I can live with. Thank you Marilyn, you are compassionate, caring and tenacious!

Marilyn is a true fitness professional. I told her my fitness goals and she created a program that was perfect for my initial level of fitness. After 3 months (18 sessions), I am leaner, stronger and ready to conquer my next fitness goal!

Really inspiring to communicate with my trainer through the app. I like how she can change and post my workout and help me change things up!
