Marianna is a 14 time marathoner and run coach with a pr of 3:25 in the full and a 1:30 in the half. She is most proud of the fact that the 3:25 occurred shortly before turning 40 - proving a few of her training beliefs....1. Age is just a number 2. Older doesn't necessarily equal slower 3.Your greatest limitation is found between your ears. Having started her personal training career at the David Barton Gym (where she and Brewer became fast friends over their love of Café) she fuses her strength training background with her endurance athlete energy and passion in all of her classes. For over the past decade, Marianna has been a sought after personal trainer and coach in NYC, but is currently residing in Florida to be closer to her mom and one of her other great loves - Disney World. Yes, growing up as a Disney child (Disnerd) has helped to cultivate Marianna's optimism, strong beliefs, and cheerful disposition, but don't be fooled by her smile - her brand of pixie dust is sweat and the Magic comes from hard work.
Workout Philosophy: “Remember your Why — I am always focused on the reason behind an exercise or program and carefully plan for a desired result.”
