Comments from Elated Clients
I decided this morning that I would no longer fear the scale, but embrace it. I told myself any progress, is progress and I won't live in fear of weighing myself...that's ridiculous. Long story short, I weighed in today and I have lost 21 lbs, since starting with you. [a little less than two months ago] I'm so excited I can hardly stand it!!
Thanks for Everything!! - N.C.
I have noticed that my clothes are fitting better now and my husband mentioned yesterday, that my tummy has gotten smaller. Thanks to you! You've really helped me in working out harder and now I'm noticing the benefits. It's still hard but it's worth the effort. -C.C.
I look forward to the buttkicking workouts! -M.L.
I wanted to thank you for all you have done to help me in my fitness quest! Since working with you not only my strength has improved but also my confidence. - C.L.
Not only do I leave each session with Marie exhausted and drenched with sweat, she makes the hard work seem fun! We are always exchanging jokes and comments, which makes each hour with her fly by. Next time you see me, you should definitely ask me about the pirate joke I learned from her…it’s pretty hilarious! Fun and games aside, though, the newfound skills, strength, and endurance I have gained with Marie have helped me to become more confident and stronger than ever before!

Just to reiterate that was the hardest most horribly great workout I have lately had the pleasurable misfortune of enduring! - T.L.
My sisters are my sharpest critics. One lives in Nebraska and one lives in Colorado. Both of them knew that I was going to a personal trainer and they raved when they saw the results. I had not seen either one since Christmas and we recently (May 1) celebrated my son's wedding. My sister Shari stated, "That personal trainer knows what she's doing." - A.S.
UND's Studio One TV segment on Marie's Personal Training
Excerpt:
Alex Johnson says Marie specializes training more towards her, "If you have any questions about things you want to do with yourself like just I asked her about balance, she gave me a few suggestions about how I can make my balance and posture better." Marie's positive motivation, up-beat happiness, and handy knowledge are just some traits that stand out.
"She helps change your whole lifestyle habits; like eating. She makes you excited about going to work out," says client, Anna Geierman.
At the end of the day, Marie's enthusiastic personality persists. Marie's clients say they come back because of the positive energy she shares.
ACSM Health and Fitness Summit
I recently attended the Health and Fitness Summit in Austin, TX, where I took part in rigorous continuing education for my certification. Courses ranged between nutrition for athletes and strength training periodization to motivation and behavioral skills. I also attended world class workouts, and I brought these workout skills back to my clients!
