Move with Duende

My son started dancing with Marmara at 5 years old and had been with her the last 6 years! He has learned so much from her and his lessons helped him carry over what he worked with her to his group classes at a dance studio. She’s always been super patient with him, always showed up on time and made sure to be extremely communicative! Our son is always excited to see her and look forward to our continued lessons!

I’ve been working with Mar for over three years, and I truly can’t recommend her enough. She is so much more than a personal trainer. Over the years, she has helped me navigate various health challenges, injuries, and setbacks, always finding a way to adapt my workouts so that I can continue moving forward safely and confidently.

What makes Mar so special is that she takes a truly holistic approach to health and fitness. She doesn’t just focus on what happens during our workouts but she takes the time to talk with me about nutrition, lifestyle habits, recovery, and other factors that affect my overall well-being. She looks at the whole picture and genuinely cares about helping me feel my best, not simply getting me through a workout.

She is incredibly attentive and knows when to push me and when my body needs something different. Through some of the most challenging periods with my health, she has been patient, compassionate, flexible, and consistently supportive. I’ve always felt that she listens to what I need and meets me exactly where I am.

After this time together, I can honestly say that Mar has become an important part of my overall health and wellness. I’m stronger because of her, but I’m equally grateful for the guidance, encouragement, and genuine care she has shown me along the way. Anyone looking for a patient, knowledgeable, dedicated, and truly caring trainer who sees the whole person, not just the workout, would be incredibly lucky to work with her. More...

I can’t recommend Marmara enough. I first engaged her services when I realized I had lost my previously healthy exercise/eating habits post Covid. She definitely got me back to a place where I appreciate exercise and movement again. More importantly she also helped me with some goals I had around my diet and alcohol in particular. In fact, I credit Marmara in helping me completely overhaul my relationship with alcohol in a non-judgmental and incremental way. This has been a major change in my life and I’ve since welcomed a healthy baby that I know would not have been possible had I not changed my habits. Marmara is disciplined, kind, passionate and great at her craft. Highly recommend! More...

I have known Marmara for a while but recently started training with her. The experience has been wonderful. She designs strategic workout routines that adapt to my level of mobility and are custom made to my needs. She listens and observes you, not only recommending different routines based on what you want but those exercises that you need. Marmara is patient, dedicated, and knowledgable, strict and tough but kind at the same time; working out with her is an enjoyable experience. I have seen quite an improvement in some areas of my body but most importantly in my posture and range of mobility. I highly recommend working with Marmara one on one. More...

Marmara is a fantastic trainer. I have worked out with her on several occasions over the past three months and she knows how to get the best out of me.
I love the fact that she is very thorough about being safe while exercising and getting to know your own body.
Marmara is very professional and extremely fun to workout with. I definitely recommend her as a personal trainer! More...
