What Her Clients Say...

“I’ve been training with Maria for about one year. When I first started training, I was out of shape, slow and had very little muscle tone. Over the course of the year, she has helped me make major changes to my body; I’m toned, I’ve lost weight, and my overall fitness level has improved. Maria is a wonderful trainer and I would highly recommend her to anyone. She is patient, works with your schedule, and truly cares about her clients. Before every session Maria asks how you’re doing and, in my opinion, having a personal connection with her clients is what makes her so great. Maria is
upbeat and positive at every session and her encouragement to push yourself is very motivating.” -Amy Sands

“I have been a client of Maria’s for over two years. During the course of my training with Maria I have had many changes in my life but she has remained a consistent positive influence that has helped me adapt to the ups and downs that life brings. I have basically moved away from the Merritt location were I train with Maria, but find her training so valuable that I commute 30 mins for our sessions (I must admit that if not for Maria I would have moved my membership to a gym
more convenient.)

Maria has seen me through some minor health issues and worked with my PT therapist to see me through recovery. She has a great mix of empathy and coaching to know when push and when to adjust training to get the maximum out of every session. She has a great enthusiasm to keep the process fun even when it is a challenge for me.

I firmly believe that my health has improved because of my time spent with Maria and she has inspired me to focus on my health both in and outside of the gym. I hope that she is appreciated as much by her co-workers as she is by her clients because she truly represents what the culture of Merritt Athletic Clubs should be embracing.” -Anne Phelan
