Hi, I’m Marilyn Moss

As we grow older our bodies, minds and metabolism change so our routines, including workouts, diet and lifestyle must change in order for us to feel young and pain free.

The changes in our body include bone loss, hormonal changes, slowing metabolism and loss of flexibility due to changes in tendons and ligaments. Without proper adjustments, our routines become less effective and more prone to injury.  Doing the same things you did in high school can lead to back and joint pain, frustration and, worst of all, injury.

With my 20+ years of experience  helping hundreds of people like you, and my master’s level education in exercise science I developed THE ONLY INDIVIDUALIZED INTERACTIVE VIDEO ASSESSMENT TOOL.  My interactive exercises and your responses absolutely eliminate the guesswork and impersonal nature of other programs.  I am able to create a safe and effective program for you that will correct your movement imbalances and inefficiencies so you can have peak effectiveness with whatever you want to achieve.

And you can do it online Anywhere, Anytime.

Nothing is more gratifying than when clients report avoiding painful, time-consuming and expensive surgeries and feeling younger and more energized than they ever thought possible. And I am always honored when corporations like Marriott, schools like Berkeley Preparatory and physicians ask me to create personal programs for patients, boot camps for employees  and low back pain prevention seminars for workers.

When I was young, to say I was a couch potato is an understatement.  I couldn’t run around the block to save my life, I was always the last one to be picked for any athletic event, and I was tired all the time.  

In my early 20s I got tired of feeling tired and being “skinny fat.”  I looked thin but my body fat was high, and I constantly complained about feeling tired. So, since I didn’t have a natural athletic cell in my body, I started to study the science of exercise (way before it was in vogue) and learn how I could make adaptations at the cellular level so that I could do more.  Slowly but surely, I got myself fit.  

I was so stoked about how I felt and looked that I got my teaching certification from AFFA and ACE and started teaching aerobics at a big club in Atlanta.  My class grew and so did my interest in changing bodies by applying exercise science. 

I got so interested in it that I quit my full time job as a corporate loan officer (with an MBA) and got a Masters of Science in Exercise Science, ACSM Certified Personal Trainer, NASM Corrective Exercise Specialist, Exercise is Medicine Credentialed, Yoga Certified and Member Yoga Alliance. Doing what I loved paid off and I graduated at the top of my class and my career helping others followed.

Helping people like you feel and look better than you ever thought possible and turn back that physiological clock so you feel younger next year continues to be my passion. Wishing you lots of good health and happiness.
