Meet Marlene.
Experienced Personal Training in Greater Boston
“I’ve learned that people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel.”
I’m here to support your fitness & wellness journey
I work with people who feel better knowing that an expert is there to consistently help guide them along their path. Movement, and fitness in general is absolutely key to your mental and physical health. That doesn’t make it easy. My clients most value my compassionate accountability, and my attention and dedication to personalized intuitive programs that deliver lasting results.
Working with you where you are
My clinical experience makes me a different kind of personal trainer.
I’m an exercise physiologist. When working together, we work as a team to meet your goals for a better quality of life and the importance of self-care.
Personal training that does not include holistic self-care is incomplete.
“First move well, and then move often.”
— Gray Cook
It is not unusual for clients of all walks of life – veterans, seniors, and high-performance professionals – to have spiked blood pressure readings, feel stressed or to sometimes not feel like exercising at all.
Yet once most get started, you can see a dramatic, positive shift in mood. Clients become more relaxed and enjoy everyday activities. When finished, they often express relief and gratitude.
We all need encouragement to move the needle in a positive direction.
“I started lifting very small amounts of weight, and now I can carry my grandchildren up several flights of stairs!”
I not only survived cancer, but have thrived. I no longer have joint pain, my endurance and strength are better than ever, I know how to lift and stretch without fear of muscle damage and have begun to ski again!
I’ve been training people for 30 years.
It’s not an accident that I’m here. I love the work I do.
I have worked for many public and private institutions, and hundreds of individuals and families from diverse backgrounds helping them live healthier, more empowered lives.
It’s not just about getting “fit”, It’s about living well.
When you are ready to train with purpose and confidence, with a specific goal in mind, you are ready to create lasting results. Genuine purpose is the heart of how I work with my clients. We’ll identify yours, and build your programs and routines around your true intentions.
Living with less pain, or having a more balanced exercise program to complement an existing endurance training program.
