Fantastic experience: I found out about Mary through a friend as she did posing lessons with her too and had amazing things to say about her so I decided to book a posing session with Mary. After 1 class, I have polished my techniques, my walk and overall, my posing routine looked 100 times better than it did before. After that, I have consistently booked sessions with Mary (1-2 times per week). Mary is professional, tough yet encouraging, and overall, an amazing coach. With her help, I felt confident on stage all thanks to her critique and tips. I would highly suggest booking a session with her if you need help with posing. I also have heard great things about her personal training sessions as Mary is highly educated and a tough coach that will help you reach your goal.

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Mary for posing for my first bikini competition. I will start by saying it does not come naturally to me, AT ALL. From our very first zoom meeting during lockdowns and into in-person teaching, Mary has been incredibly personable, knowledgeable, and has made me feel very comfortable and ready for my first show. We had so much fun in the process, too! When I finally got on stage, I felt comfortable and confident, and part of my judges critique was that she liked my posing and overall presence on stage (thanks to Mary!)!!! I highly recommend using Mary to teach you posing for any division. She’s very knowledgeable in different categories and what things the judges are looking for in each! If I could give her 10 stars I would!!!!!

Fantastic experience: Mary is a no nonsense, straightforward, yet friendly coach that got me from shy, awkward and unable to walk in heels to confident and sassy on stage. She is very thorough and helped me consider all other parts of my prep as well, going above and beyond what her job was as a posing coach. If you are considering hitting the stage, hire Mary as your posing coach NOW! She is worth every penny and you will not be disappointed.

Fantastic experience: I took posing lessons from Mary for my first ever bikini competition. Mary explained me everything, step by step, gave me a lot of confidence and she knew exactly what poses will make me look the best on stage. I took 2 silver medals in two categories, thanks to Mary!!!

Fantastic experience: From the beginning of this year, I've been training with Mary. She is a top grade committed personal trainer with in-depth knowledge and experience in all categories of physical training. She is very motivating and empowering and helped me tremendously to train consistently and effectively. I could see the progress in my strength and fitness with the first few classes itself. She listens to you and observes you and would know the right type of program to follow. She assigns different types of trainings and give different challenges frequently to bring out the best in you. If you are looking for fitness or good strength and physique, Mary is 100 percent your go-to person. I highly recommend her.

Fantastic experience: I have Mary been my coach for more than two years. Before I met her, I was figuring out stuff by myself, and of course that had put me into disadvantage in sticking to the proper movement and workout plan. Working with her has changed my whole experience with weightlifting and bodybuilding. She is so professional and confident about her knowledge. I was able to build more muscles and pushed myself to the limit based on her instructions. She is also very nice and encouraging. She has given me so many helpful tips, not only on bodybuilding but also on mental health and optimistic lifestyles. Definitely 100% recommend training with her!

Fantastic experience: My friend referred Mary to me as a competition posing coach, I had a very good experience with Mary, she's very professional with her knowledge and her coaching, the way she described about the posing movement is very easy to understand, I learned a lot from her. she gave me a lot of support, she's a sweet friend and professional coach in the same time.

Fantastic experience: Mary is a top notch coach with a field of expertise. She guided me to my first ever bikini competition two years ago. I was pretty needy during my journey, as I wanted to “get things right” and I truly hadn’t a clue about the ins and outs of her world. I know she squirmed under the weight of my neediness but she NEVER gave up on me and for this, I’m eternally grateful. I love her dearly and can’t recommend her enough!! She even laughed at my unique sense of humour which helped us both get through my training!!! Lol! You’ll be in very solid hands, if you choose Mary!!!

Fantastic experience: I met Mary at a first aid training course and reached out to her for help with my diet. Because of her guidance I was able to lose the weight that I’ve been struggling to shed!! Huge shoutout to her and would highly recommend her work to anyone looking for a change!

Fantastic experience: I have had the pleasure in having Mary as my trainer for almost a year now. With her guidance, my glutes and shoulders have grown, where it seemed like an impossibility in the past. What I appreciate and enjoy most about Mary is her depth of knowledge, as well as her ability to motivate. She is keen on spotting you to use proper technique and ensures you are training the intended body part with effectiveness and efficiency. She is friendly and patient, no matter how trivial your questions can be, she is always detailed and articulate with her responses. Most definitely Mary has provided quality training and coaching to help me achieve my body building goals. No brainer...highly recommended!

Fantastic experience: I was referred to Mary as a posing coach for my first fitness show. I was very nervous about this part of the preparation for the show, but Mary displayed a very warm down to earth personality that made me feel welcome and at home. How she was able to articulate and teach posing was extremely impressive, and her knowledge in the sport is immense. Mary created a routine specifically for me and what highlighted my shape best. She was VERY patient which I appreciated, and in time I gained more confidence in my posing. She provided a lot of insight, and went above and beyond for me when I needed extra help. She turned what was the most daunting part of the process for me into the most enjoyable. I highly recommend Mary for all of your posing needs, but I’m sure she also makes a fantastic coach and trainer as I’m sure she is phenomenal at anything she does. Mary is a true professional.
