Marie is a personal trainer as well as a nutrition coach. She specializes in functional fitness which is a type of exercise that supports your everyday life. It includes movements such as walking, pushing, pulling, bending, squatting, lunging, and core. In other words, functional fitness is a classification of training that prepares the body for real-life movements and activities. It's designed to prepare you for all aspects of your life, not just to successfully lift heavy weights in the gym. If you can hit a 300-pound back squat, but you’re out of breath walking from your car to your front door, functional fitness may be the answer.
