Training Philosophy:

Always remember your "why". Why do you have your particular fitness goal? In my case, I want to live a long, active life rather than give in tomy sketchy family health history. Maybe you want to be able to play with your kids without getting winded, or get through a day without back pain. On the days you're having trouble getting into your workout (I have them too!), reminding yourself *why* you're doing it is one of the most powerful motivators there is.

"I can't speak highly enough about Mary Beth's uncanny ability to motivate people to achieve their fitness goals... and surpass them. In our time together, I went from having very little coordination... to doing "atomic crunches" on TRX. Mary Beth was a true partner and coach. She listened to what I wanted and where I was, and then she guided me further than what I thought I could achieve... by mixing up our exercise routines (circuit training to free weights to TRX and beyond) and, truth be told, by firmly and amiably motivating me. -- S.H.
