Up Your Fit

i've been in a rut recently with working out - pretty much doing the same cardio and weight machines and i needed a change of pace.  so when maggie had an opening on friday morning, i jumped at the chance to sign up.maggie is an accomplished triathlete.  she hosts boot camps, teaches zumba, pilates and personal training.  over the years, i've met a couple of her clients at different events.  some ranged from beginner to those training for a marathon to triathletes.  with my busy schedule, private sessions worked out the best for me.we met up at la jolla shores beach and since it was my first session, we talked about past injuries, current issues, what my current work out plan was and what i'd like to improve.   maggie was very positive and she gave me variations on the exercises in case i needed to adjust for my knee.  it's been almost a year since my surgery and some of my muscles have overcompensated during the healing process.  in order to re-balance myself, we focused on core strength training as well as building the strength in my gluts and quads.  it was great to get outside of a gym and enjoy how beautiful san diego is.  despite the cool weather, i worked up a sweat and had to peel off my fleece.  another big plus was that i didn't have to bring anything.  maggie brings all of the necessary equipment from mats, rollers, medicine balls, etc.  the work out varied with cardio of running on the beach to jumping rope to strength training with pilates and weight resistance.  she's the fifth trainer whom i've working out with in my life and i have to say that she really kept flow interesting and fun.  boo-tay shorts here i come!

Maggie is the best! You'll get a good workout in a supportive atmosphere. She structures her workouts to fit everyone. If you're a beginner she'll help you get in shape faster than you ever could on your own. If you're coming back from an injury, she'll have you back enjoying the lifestyle you love in no time. And if you are already in tip-top shape, don't worry, you'll still be challenged. That's the great thing about how she does her workouts... she structures the workout to fit YOUR needs and abilities, whatever they may be. Maggie's enthusiasm for fitness is contagious so you not only get a good workout but you'll have a lot of fun doing it. As a side bonus, because her classes and training are outside, you'll get some beautiful views too!If you're looking for training, I highly recommend giving Maggie a call. More...

I know Maggie from her work at AcroSports, a gymnastics school in San Francisco.  My now 18-year-old daughter, who has Down syndrome, was an employee and student of Maggie's for several years.  Without any request or intervention from me, Maggie took my daughter under her wing and trained her to work in the snack shop, as well as coached her in gymnastics.  It was at times a challenging relationship, but Maggie never lost her positive attitude, her enthusiasm, and her belief in Olivia.  We are SO sorry to have lost her to you fortunate folk in San Diego!

Maggie is a great trainer -- never the same workout ...always challenging but FUN! and the time flies. She does a great whole body workout. In 4 months I was able to go down a size and my jeans were loose again. She keeps you motivated...not mean but tough and fair.  She does take into consideration any previous injuries so will help you modify to build strength. A couple of us moms wanted to get rid of the "last baby weight" -- maggie helped us all through our post-pregnancy issues and got us strong. Also she was so great with kids when we had to bring them to the workout. More...
