Personalized Habits, Permanent Change.

I came to Marissa looking for accountability to help me lose my postpartum weight during an extremely stressful time in my life. She coached me for 4 months and never once judged me when I would get off track. She was encouraging, professional, and realistic with her goals for me. I lost about 20lbs and several inches overall. I have more knowledge and confidence in eating the right foods my body needs and being able to maintain a healthy weight from now on. Thank you so much Marissa!

Her program has made losing weight and gaining muscle fun and enjoyable, and most importantly, HEALTHY; at no point did I feel malnourished or deprived of food. Seriously an amazing experience, turned my grades and life around. Biggest takeaway has to be that diets and nutrition don’t have to be about deprivation or sacrifice, and even after finishing her program, she’s given me so much advice that I feel I can stay in great shape on my own.

I could not be happier with how far I have come. I would never think I could eat this much food and lose or maintain. I feel like I am THRIVING, and it feels amazing. I have so much energy in the gym as well as my daily activity. The biggest takeaway from Marissa’s programming is that change takes time! Habits take time. Building healthy habits every single day and practicing them with Marissa holding you accountable will set you up to create a lifestyle that is sustainable to you so that your results will continue once you are done working with Marissa.

Reaching out to Marissa was probably one of the best decisions I made. During the duration of our time together, she was always reassuring when I had doubts of my progress and was very quick to respond to my emails. I reached out to her because I wanted to enter a diet safely, and not completely deplete my body of energy, especially due to my active. Whether I was trying to increase or decrease calories, Marissa was also able to give me advice of food that would help me reach those macronutrient goals without feeling too hungry or too full. My diet log was completely customized, and we were able to adjust as time went on to continuously see progress. By the end of our time together, I have never seen better results and am glad to say that I have a better understanding of macronutrients and energy the body needs. Thanks for everything Marissa!

"I really enjoyed working with Marissa, and previously had not had the best relationship with the gym. She worked with me to figure out a sweet spot of how many times and how long each gym session was, and worked around injuries and other activities to make sure I was still able to workout and make progress. This made the process a lot more palatable, and made it so I didn’t feel like I was slacking off just because I had a busy week. In a similar vein her flexibility on working with me on my macros was excellent. She dialed me in on what was most important, and showed me where I was lacking in my nutrition. I think the flexibility alone makes Marissa an excellent trainer, she’s always happy to work with you to help make your fitness journey that much easier."

This is my second time receiving coaching from Marissa and I can't really put a price on the knowledge and habits that I have been able to build from both times. Because this time around it was all about mindset changes to maintain and build a healthy relationship with food, Marissa always provided as much information as possible to make sure I was aware of why we were doing things the way we were doing them and therefore giving me the confidence and patience to trust the process. The biggest challenge I had involved handling social activities and traveling. However, Marissa always provided a game plan to ensure I could enjoy food in moderation while still having fun with friends and not limiting my experiences.
