Marianna is fantastic. I did 6 weeks personal training with her when I was just 7 weeks postpartum. She was honest with me about my goals and worked hard to help me achieve them. Marianna has a warm and encouraging approach. She made the sessions fun and was great at knowing how much she could push me. She was supportive on WhatsApp throughout the week and gave me sensible, realistic advice about my diet. I am so proud of what I achieved in 6 weeks with Marianna and I highly recommend her to anyone who wants to get fitter and feel better about their shape.

Marianna is coaching me online and following our consultations Marianna is programming me effective training that manages my injuries/weaknesses, strengthens them and also enables me to work towards my personal strength goals. This is really skilled programming and all done via online consultations, video checking on form and progressive planning. I’m so impressed with Marianna’s knowledge and skills and I’ve learnt a lot from her. She also has a very in depth knowledge of planning training around being a busy working Mum which is incredibly important. Thanks so much Marianna, I thoroughly enjoy your online coaching 😊

I just love these classes. It's such a gift to find a way to do structured exercise with a baby. Not only can I take him with me but the classes are just perfect for the post-partum period and beyond. Not too hard, not too easy, and great for targeting getting your strength back after pregnancy/labour. Marianna is so knowledgeable and helpful, and she creates a lovely friendly and safe environment. Thank you!

Marianna has been my PT since the start of last year, so I felt lucky when I fell pregnant to have someone local that I could have private tailored sessions with. She’s supported me throughout the pregnancy to stay fit and strong - always working to my own pace and specific needs, which was important to me. I herniated a disc a few years back so I never thought I would be pain free pregnant, but bar the odd day here and there, I’ve reached nine months staying active and largely without pain - which is quite frankly astonishing! Marianna is patient, caring, knowledgable and makes exercise truly enjoyable - and I know I am in the best hands for the postpartum fitness journey when I’m ready. You won’t regret starting your fitness journey with Mpowered Fitness.

I joined Marianne last year in May 22 after my daughter started nursery when she turned 1. I was diagnosed as prediabetic 1 year prior to this and after being on a few diets I finally had to take the plunge and deal with losing weight and change my diet completely. I met with Marianne before starting my journey and she explained the options that were available to me. I went for the PT option where I do exercise at home and meet with Marianne on a monthly basis for my 121 session. The journey was hard at first as I had to get my head around what types of food was good for me and it was my first time at doing strength training..but I was determined to do this. I was over 10st when I started with Marianne and after 10 months i went down to almost 9st. The a I had to eventually stop due to personal reasons but during this time, I learnt a lot about strength training and you cant loose weight just with dieting, you need to train, and Marianne was very patient with me when I was learning to use weights properly too. I had good and bad days but we were allowed that so as long as you get back at it the following day it's ok. I have recently had a operation and I am planning to join Marianne again to discuss training options and will try to keep it up as I am in my early 40s and the perimenopause will eventually creep up to me...so having a good diet and a good exercise routine will definitely help me. I highly recommend Marianne as she is a mum herself and totally understands how hard it is when you have children butalso you need to manage your personal life too.
