Client Reviews/Comments
Mary Ann,
Thank you for your gentle "nudging" ("shoving" me into reality is a more appropriate term) to make the changes I really needed to achieve what I wanted with my routine and diet. I know I was a pain in the butt and stubborn to change, but your patience paid off (and I benefited from it). I've never had a trainer that put so much energy into looking out for my well-being, and thanks to you, I'm in better shape in my 60s than I've ever been.
I promise I'll maintain this as my new lifestyle from now on, and can hardly wait to see what you'll have for me next. See you at the gym!

Mary Ann is a wonderful personal trainer! She makes you feel comfortable and understand exactly what you want to improve. She makes going to the gym something that you look forward to. While doing the exercises she fully teaches you so you can do them successfully on your own. She has created a great and positive outlook about being consistently fit, couldn't of done it without her!
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! :)
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!
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 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.
i have truly enjoyed working with mary ann. if you are looking to get in shape, lose a few lbs, or just tone and shape your body, shes the right person for you. she desingns a work out to fit your needs and it really works!
I officially trained with Mary Ann for two years. She is very motivating and encouraging. She helps me reach the goals I set for myself. She keeps the work outs fun and exciting. She's the best!!
