I came to Mary after a fall in which I dislocated my shoulder and tore my rotator cuff. Although this type of injury is common what complicated my situation was I'm missing my other arm from the elbow down. Mary was able to work with me and find many different work-outs that were custom and beneficial to me. We worked on core and strength without hurting my shoulder. In fact I was able to improve my shoulder function. Mary was very creative and dedicated in finding ways I could succeed, she more than exceeded my expectations. A very satisfied client.

About 15 years ago I was involved in a traffic collision that resulted in my back needing a spinal fusion.   I had 2 more back surgeries over the next several years.  My recovery has been a long process, which has been aided greatly by Mary.   She is always patient and encouraging and most importantly listens to me in order understand my needs and customize a workout program just for me.  We have worked together in group settings and also on a one on one basis to create and customize a physical therapy program for me.   

Mary has trained and helped me with cardio, core and strength training, stretching, flexibility and overall balance. Mary is not only a personal trainer but she is also a yoga instructor.  All these workouts have helped me so much, and she always makes the workouts fun and enjoyable.  Most importantly Mary has helped me recover from the back fusion surgeries to the point where most days I feel as I did before my surgeries, which is a bit of a miracle.        

Due to the pandemic, Mary has provided online Zoom group classes.   I have attended these Zoom classes for over 2 years now, her classes are easy to access and Mary’s easy going personality makes it feel as if she is in the room with me.   I can not recommend Mary enough, she is the best personal trainer I have had.  Thank you Mary!

My experience with the Health Coaching 3 Month Program was a very positive experience. Being given the tools to achieve a healthier diet and lifestyle was life changing. Health being my number one goal, this program teaches you how to nourish your body, your mind and your spiritual self. I am now armed with all the tools necessary for a healthier and happy life.

I was reluctant at first to join any gym due to the environment. After meeting Mary and seeing the facility my mind was at ease. She offers a multitude of classes that are intense yet fun. I’ve been attending weekly classes for over a year. I feel more energetic and look forward to the new year at Fitness Express.

Encouraging and professional are words that come to mind to describe Mary with the 6 Month Health Coaching Program. I am a 40 something person dealing with family and the everyday demands of owning a small business.Over the last six months, Mary has been instrumental in helping me analyze my health, set reasonable goals and work toward these goals. Mary realizes that there will be set backs along the way. She is not judgmental and shows genuine interest in me as a person. I look forward to continuing my journey to better health and reaching my goals.
