I will forever be thankful to Anne Marie for changing the quality of my life. When I learned about Anne Marie’s Strength Roadmap 2022, I was at the end of my rope.  I had been suffering from leaking for several years, seen multiple healthcare professionals and had tried all the medications available for my leaking issue.  Nothing had worked.  The next step was a procedure which may or may not work. I entered The Strength Roadmap with little expectations.  Even the slightest improvement would be a win for me.  At the time, I could not even walk around the block without leaking and going to the store caused tremendous anxiety.  I found myself not going on trips because of the fear of leaking.  After just a few weeks on program, I started to see improvements and by the end of the 10 week course, not only had I learned about how to use my muscles to work together, but also how to reconnect my neural pathways to muscles I didn’t think I had (Glutes were a big win!!) My leaking improved over 90%. I can now go for long walks, spend the afternoon shopping and go on trips without worry.  What a life changer!! Anne Marie’s course provides tremendous value. All the information is well organized with educational information, visual and audio recordings, live classes and the opportunity to ask questions. I am thankful every single day that I learned about Anne Marie’s Strength Roadmap. Definitely a 5 star decision!

I completed Anne Marie's Program in March-May 2021.  In the beginning I was not quite sure what to expect...but it exceeded all of the expectations I did have and then some!  I was nervous that I was not as physically fit as the others that would be participating and worried I would not be able to complete the workouts.  However, after the first week I realized that this would not be an issue.  My favorite part of the Program was the live class once a week-I am a very busy person and don't much take time to reflect-but the first part of each class involved sharing any wins we had that week, discussing a topic or asking questions and I loved it.  The workouts were great and I finished each one feeling much better than I had felt before.  I started to see REAL RESULTS pretty quickly and that was so rewarding.  I became more flexible, my back pain was ceasing to exist, I was so much stronger and could lift heavier things around the house (Hello, 5 gallon Poland Springs water container!), my leaking had stopped and I just felt more complete as a person. I learned how important it is to take time for yourself and that is exactly what this Program is-an investment in you!  I highly recommend it!

Working with Anne Marie has been a life changing experience, no exaggeration. My husband and I are not people who like to exercise. But now we have worked out with Anne Marie every week for the last 4 years. She is encouraging, kind, non-judgmental and can pretty much fix any physical problem. Before I worked out with her I suffered from constant cramping in my chest, shooting pain in my ankles and I pulled out my back often doing daily tasks like vacuuming and gardening. She knows the muscles and brain connection better than any physical therapist I have ever had and makes adjustments on the fly based on what your body is doing that day. We recommend Anne Marie without hesitation to anyone who has never been in shape before or is a lifelong lover of workouts.  She is amazing!

"When I started with Anne Marie, I was newly 40 and feeling like I had just spent the last decade drowning in parenting and really not putting much effort into my own health and fitness.  My goal was to turn over a new page in life and begin on the path of healthier living, while simultaneously not exacerbating my ongoing pelvic floor issues.  With Anne Marie's gentle guidance and expertise, I was able to learn a routine that was catered to my needs.  Within weeks of starting the program I began to see real results.  My body felt more tone and I felt stronger than I had in MANY years. But the best part of my work with Anne Marie, is that the fitness routine was manageable for a busy working mom like me.  Prior to working with Anne Marie, when I thought about returning to a lifestyle of exercise, I thought about hours upon hours in the gym, huffing and puffing and covered in sweat, barely able to walk the next day from being so sore.  But Anne Marie personalized approach is designed for real results without it feeling overwhelming or life consuming.  Anne Marie taught me so much about how all the muscle groups work and the importance of focusing on exercising your whole body. And she helped me incorporate fitness into my life no matter how busy life gets. The class may have only been 10 weeks but I feel like I have lifelong knowledge that I will continue to apply for years to come.  Thanks Anne Marie!"

I have endured back pain on and off for years. During a time when my back was so bad and I could barely walk, I worked with Anne Marie in conjunction with a physical therapist. Anne Marie took the time to speak directly with my physical therapist to make sure the information I was receiving was consistent. She was able to make sure I was doing the prescribed exercises specific to my body. This gave me new awareness around movement and building strength along with ways to modify in order to keep myself moving forward. I am now able to use that information in my daily life with a better understanding of how to help myself when my back is feeling vulnerable. Thank you, Anne Marie!

Endurance and strength to run the Boston Marathon. As a Division 1 long distance runner, I struggled with a slew of injuries that plagued me, including IT band syndrome, a debilitating back injury, tendinitis of the knee, and 2 simultaneous femoral stress fractures that required me to be on crutches. I always wanted to run longer distances and complete a marathon but with my history of injuries, I wasn’t quite sure how I could ever accomplish this feat. And after having 2 children which weakened my already unstable core, this seemed like an even loftier goal. I shared my concerns with Anne Marie and right away, I knew her approach was completely different than any strengthening program I’d utilized in the past. Anne Marie was immediately able to assess what areas of my body needed to be activated and strengthened in order to help address my existing weaknesses and inefficiencies. I began to move more efficiently almost instantly. Our training sessions are engaging, motivating, and challenging. Anne Marie has raised my level of awareness in regards to my body mechanics and running form. She has me actively engaging my brain with my body’s movement during our sessions together. I feel mentally and physically stronger and more aware of how my body is moving now and am taping into muscles groups in my body that have been been “turned off” for quite a while. I have completed several road races over the last year including a half marathon while working with her, something I never thought would be possible. She has been such a motivating coach and partner in my return to running, and I am truly grateful as I know I wouldn’t have accomplished any of this without her! I am now training to run my first marathon in hopes of qualifying for the Boston Marathon and have never felt more confident in my body and mind to get me through 26.2!

A lifelong skier, I started working with Anne Marie as part of conditioning for a rigorous week long back-county ski trip in the Canadian Rockies.  She activated and strengthened key muscles, helping with my endurance and general fitness during the trip. Thanks to Anne Marie, I had much less muscle fatigue and avoided any injury.  Simply put, I couldn't have done the trip without her help! 

Anne Marie trained and supported me as I was studying to become a Pilates Teacher through the rigorous Pilates Center program.  During my weekly lessons, Anne Marie helped me escape the stress of my studies and applied what I was learning in a clear and simple way.  Not only did she prompt me to work harder than I ever had, but she had me laughing along the way.  I developed an understanding and awareness of my movement patterns and felt them changing, and my confidence increased.  Anne Marie is a teacher who will help you realize the path to "strength" isn't linear, but exploratory.  She held me accountable for my goals and inspired me to remain curious in my studies and my workouts.  Most importantly, Anne Marie taught me as an equal; I could always approach her with a question and engage lively discussion about our practice as teachers of movement.

I have been training with Anne Marie for over 5 years now on a weekly basis. I have enjoyed every single session and always look forward to the next.  She is able to connect with her clients on a personal level because of the atmosphere she creates.  She is focused on looking at your body as a whole and she understands your strengths and weaknesses. She is able to notice subtle differences in her clients because of her strong understanding of kinesiology and the human body. I feel comfortable asking her questions and for suggestions before, during and after my workout. She has offered me a plethora of wellness and nutrition tips and even helped me change my posture (I was struggling with hip pain) and regain my balance. I have become so much more aware of my body because of her instruction. I would highly suggest Pilates with Anne Marie to anyone regardless of fitness level because she is great at meeting you where you are and helping you grow.
