Strength training and resistance training can improve bone density and reduce your risk of falls and fractures. Because we only work with women 50 and over, all exercises are designed to accommodate concerns around osteoporosis (for example, no fast rotation around the spine).
I started weekly virtual private lessons with Maryann back in September 2020. After nine months, I gradually moved over to the group class that met twice weekly.
Since my 50s, my doctor has been after me to incorporate weight bearing exercises into my routine to help with bone density. Easier said than done. Maryann is amazing. She is trained in an exercise regime specifically for my age group. She is super well organized – always on time and prepared – never boring.
If you take a virtual class, she has a two-way camera so she can watch you as you move and suggest adjustments so that you don’t injure yourself – supervision is very important! She has a very engaging personality so time flies and before you know it the class is over.
Thanks to Maryann, my core strength and balance have significantly improved so I am standing taller and feeling younger!
Maryann is a fantastic trainer! She's very professional, well organized, and she really knows what she's doing. She pays a lot of attention to proper form and body mechanics so we get maximum benefit without injuring ourselves. She does a great job mixing things up so no two classes are ever the same. She keeps things challenging, but fun too. I highly recommend Maryann and Fit Over 50 SoCal!
I’ve been working out regularly with Maryann for the past 2 years. I feel so lucky to have found her right before the world shut down. Virtual workouts have changed my life. No more rushing to the gym and hassling with everything that goes along with it…parking, schlepping my clothes back and forth, locking up my belongings, public showers, etc. I don’t plan on going back even now that gyms are open again. I love our group and look forward to seeing everyone each week. Maryann’s instructions and demonstrations are clear and she is quick to making individual corrections or adjustments if needed. She is knowledgeable and personable—a perfect combination. I recommend her 100%.
