Marie is our Certified Fitness Trainer and Office Manager at Downingtown/Kennett Nutrition. She has worked in various office settings over the years. Marie started her personal training career in 2014 after obtaining her certification with the American Council of Exercise (ACE). Her love of helping others achieve their fitness goals started with simply learning to help herself.

In 2016, she trained for and completed her first Ballpark Spartan Obstacle Race. Marie understands the importance of setting a goal, seeing what it will take to obtain that goal, and working towards tackling it. She enjoys teaching clients new ways of exercising using the TRX suspension straps, kettle bells, and full body weight exercises.

She enjoys traveling, all things Disney, being at the beach, kayaking and fishing.
