Marisa

Yessi

Certified in Power Yoga and extensively trained in all forms of yoga, meditation, cardio, and strength training, making it fun and effective. I have all of my clients do all forms of breath-work because everything starts with breath. I find that people tend to hold their breath on a daily not allowing oxygen to flow through the muscles which is the only way you can truly release tension. Helping you to get back to your true energy underneath all the layers. I really love working with children since I can be a big kid myself which is why I am also able to bring that out of the adults I work with.

I believe that in this moment where you are now, you have a choice, that either leads you closer to your soul or further away from it. Something I’ve learned from training my clients is how important accountability is. You have to be there for yourself in order to improve and it’s a beautiful thing to accept that you need a push and help from someone in order to achieve that. It’s all about taking steps which is what I love to help my clients with.

Lauren D

Lauren is a passionate, driven, and certified personal trainer with an extensive background in competitive running and swimming. She ran both cross country and track & field throughout high school and was an active member of the swim team during her senior year and college career. In 2019, she ran her first-ever marathon in 3 hours and 25 minutes, qualifying her for the Boston Marathon, which she ran this past April. She is a self-trained marathon runner, so if you are training for a race, looking to fine-tune your running form, or simply wanting to add more cardio to your routine, Lauren can help you meet your goals! 2 months before the Boston Marathon she got a stress fracture in her ankle, putting her in a boot for a month and then leaving only a month out of the boot before the marathon. Lauren was forced to get creative and create a workout plan that had her off her feet but also maintained her aerobic fitness as much as possible by continuing her passion for swimming in and outside the pool. It worked out well actually, as with less than a month on the roads before the marathon she was able to finish in 3 hours 39 min (not a personal best, but not too far off of it). Lauren has lots to share in terms of injury prevention as well as low or no impact exercises that are still cardio-heavy!
