I have been training with Marianne since February. I have no cartilage in either knee. I have had knee pain and hip pain for years. I took ibuprofen several times a day. I have been under the care of an orthopedic doctor for about 7 years. Ice and over the counter medicine was the only source of pain relief. Ibuprofen took a toll on my stomach and I am no longer allowed to take anything but Tylenol. It does not work for me. I was told about Marianne King and Fitness For Life. I talked to her and she came up with a plan to strengthen the muscles around my knees to take the pressure off of them. After about a month, I started to notice that I was taking less and less ibuprofen. Now I do not have much pain at all. I can now run stairs again and walk long distances. I keep up with the plan she sets for me and I feel so much better! She is a real motivator!

Marianne has helped me with my fitness effort since I reached out to her more than a decade ago. She is not only a trainer, but a coach and a friend. Through a team effort she and I embraced, I lost 50 pounds. I gained part of it back, yet she helps me to stay on track. I am stronger now today than I was when we first started, due to her training techniques. Marianne is sincerely interested in the whole approach to fitness, nutrition, and overall health. Marianne is focused, individualized, passionate, caring, and creative! She keeps up with the latest fitness techniques and keeps each and every fitness session challenging and interesting. I attribute my overall health and fitness capacity to the efforts she places in me and her ability to motivate me. She is most adaptive and gives each individual the care he or she needs, depending on their level of fitness, if healing from an injury, if older, etc. I would recommend her to anyone of any age or ability seeking to improve his or her fitness levels.

Marianne is an amazing instructor! I have tried other trainers, and most seem to have a 'one size fits all' approach to training. They don't know what to do with seriously over-weight or out of shape clients. Marianne, on the other hand, begins with what you are able to do and pushes you to develop a little at a time. Several car accidents have left me with some limitations, and Marianne adapted exercises to fit those limitations without giving up and not trying to make those areas of my body stronger. Over the two years that we worked together, I grew stronger and more fit. Honestly, I've never felt better than when I worked with Marianne.

She always seems to know when to push and when to take it easy on me. She always knows how to make an exercise harder, but not impossible. Always beneficial. Thanks Marianne!

Every Monday, I look forward to Pilates with Marianne. She is always upbeat and it is never routine. Being the only male in the group doesn't bother me a bit either. I can tell the "core" excercises are keeping me fit and balanced and I am getting more flexible by the week. Mondays are now exciting!!! Thanks Marianne!!!
