    Marla Scheckman applies to her work not only the technical knowhow and means to properly combine aerobic and strenght excercises, but also a firsthand understanding of the real callenges of food cravings and weight loss. She brings to each lesson only encouragement, never judgement, and her enthusiasmis contagious. I am overweight--morbidly obese by clinical standards. As such, I would never be comfortable working out in a public setting such as a gym or fitness center. But Marla makes me feel capable. Virtually every week, she pushes me to try new things, and with her help, I do. If she can help someone like me, who has so far to go, imagine how far she can take someone who starts out more fit.

    Marla is knowledgeable, enthusiastic, energetic and just plain fun to work with. She is a caring individual who truly wants the best for her clients. Her expertise spans a broad range of health and fitness. I whole heartedly recommend Marla to anyone who wants to get (or stay)
    fit, and have fun doing it.

    I started working with Maral Scheckman 3 1/2 years ago; finding Marla for my personal trainer was like discovering a precious treasure (she is priceless !!) Marla is a smart, determined, highly focused individual who is always upbeat and encouraging. Every minute of my individualized training session is focused on the best fitness outcome for me. I am in the best shape of my whole life and I know I could not have come this far without Marla's professional expertise and her enthusiasm. She is patient, but very thorough and she always coaches me to exceed my own exspections. Her assessments and goals for me have always been on target. I would give Marla Schekman my highest recommemation. I respect her decisions and trust her judgement;it just doesn't get any better that that....

    I am a clinical psychologist (peggygower.com) and I regularly refer clients to Marla. Physical fitness is a large part of mental health and Marla's approach dovetails nicely with my own. She is personal yet professional and everyone loves her. She has my highest recommendation! Feel free to contact me at the above web address if you want more information.
