Personal Training

Personal training is a passion for me. I truly love working with individual clients to realize their goals. When I think about the three core principles of my training style, I think about safety, progression and connection.

Safety – My number one priority is always safety. I want to know as much about a new client as I can -injuries, health issues, lifestyle, diet- before starting a training regimen with them. The more I know, the more I can protect the client.

Progression – Progression is the best way to measure increased strength and ability and that is what I focus on with my clients. Small changes in overload over time will challenge muscles and get results. There are no quick fixes but consistency, patience and progression work.

Connection – Connecting with clients is crucial to being an effective personal trainer. I believe that while my primary role is to give my clients a great workout, I am also there as a source of support and comfort. I truly care about my clients and am lucky to call them all friends.

I have been training with Marit for approximately 2 years. I started with her shortly after having hip replacement surgery. Because of the surgery, I was anxious about beginning an exercise program; however once I met with Marit and started exercising, my anxiety was replaced with an understanding that I was in good hands. She is a knowledgeable, experienced trainer and understands that not everyone can do every type of exercise and is always ready instantly with a modification that will work. I look forward to our sessions and always feel better and stronger after each one. Marit truly cares about her clients and is happy to see them progress. On top of that, she is one of the nicest people I know. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

I have been training with Marit for over a year. She has helped me regain a level of fitness I never thought possible. At our first session she asked if I had any goals. Simple, I wanted to be able to do 10 pull ups and be pushed to my limit every workout. She delivered on my first goal and so much more. Her knowledge of functional training and ability to create challenging enjoyable workouts is second to none. Marit showed me a completely new way to train my whole body effectively in one hour. Every week the exercises were different but attained the same goal of a complete body workout with an emphasis on core movements we all use every day. Her HIIT workouts are my favorite because they combine cardio and strength training into a non-stop sweat-a-thon. She leads by example and understands health and well being is everyones most important asset. In addition she is a wonderful person and I can not recommend her more highly.

Marit is a treasure I was lucky enough to find. She is truly wonderful. I am a “senior” (65+) client, and Marit tailors the exercises to my capabilities for a great and safe workout. My time with her has truly changed my life both physically and mentally. She is smart, fun and supportive; truly knows the human body. I look forward to my one- on-one sessions with her each week. Marit is a gift to give yourself!
