Mary Ann has been the key factor to my recent fitness and weight loss successes! I've been up and down with my weight forever it seems and have always been physically active in some way, but it was a sports injury that put me out of commission for several years. Only within the the past few years have I been able to make positive changes in my life and feel confident enough to begin my weight loss and fitness journey. I finally decided to join a gym in March 2011. That's when I found Mary Ann and my life literally changed! I found someone who I was able to relate to on so many levels and I truly felt that I could trust her with my deepest, darkest fears about weight loss. She has always made me feel accepted and can ALWAYS find something for me to do when the sports injuries occur! I've lost over 20lbs. so far and look forward to working with Mary Ann for as long as she'll have me! Love you lady! :)

Heather - Watching you blossom and grow before my eyes has been extremely rewarding! You are SUCH a hard worker and not just on the gym floor. You've done an amazing job at managing your nutrition and following my recommendations. You're doing everything right and your results are the proof! And as you're learning, it's so much more than "working out", it's about slowly changing who you are for the better, a little at a time and becoming the happy, healthy, fit and amazing person you're suppose... moreHeather - Watching you blossom and grow before my eyes has been extremely rewarding!

Mary Ann is definitely the most motivating trainer I have had the pleasure to work with. After having lost a good 60 lbs after college, I had plateaued and couldn't seem to make the scale budge. After working with Mary Ann for a few months, she helped me gain muscle and lose fat with the strong fundamentals she instilled in me and I literally dropped another 15-20lbs (and she gave me nutritional tips--really important since I was a vegetarian). Working out isn't easy and not always fun but Mary Ann makes the time you spend with her meaningful and well worth it! Trust me, you will wake up the next day sore, and you will love it! And I cannot express how amazing Mary Ann is--she is truly there to support me and still stays in touch (and encourages me!) even though I've moved to the other side of the country!
Mary Ann's Response on Aug 15, 2011:
Nancy - Thank you so much for the wonderful review! I really enjoyed our sessions together! You are such a hard worker; always ready to take it to the next level and willing to be honest and face issues head on. I MISS YOU so much since you moved out of state, but I hope to train you again the next time your in CA. Thank you SO MUCH!

Thanks for all that you do! I've never had a more organized, focused, and challenging trainer that actually designed stuff specifically for me...in fact you're the only trainer that's ever given me a customized workout and kept records like that! I wanted results, and you provided them. Look out Jillian...here comes Mary Ann!
Mary Ann's Response on Aug 15, 2011:
Robert - Thank you for the great review! I'm so grateful you allowed me to guide you on your path to strength, health and fitness. You've put in the hard work and everyone can see the results! Keep it up and thanks for letting me be a part of your journey. ~M~

Mary Ann has been an awesome motivator for me - keeping me working on my goals. She truly took into account where I was at in the beginning of our sessions and I'm amazed at where I am today thanks to her encouragement.
Mary Ann's Response on Aug 15, 2011:
Norma - it was such a JOY working out with you for so many months! You're such a hard worker and your physical and inner strength inspires me. You put in the hard work and the results showed. I hope we can work together again down the road. Thank you for the review!
