CLIENT TESTIMONIALS
Shareen Ross,
Certified IT Architect
Marcie has been my GYROTONIC® trainer for over 10 years. She has been absolutely and consistently fantastic! As a frequent traveler for business, I really need Gyrotonic to stretch me out and strengthen me so that I don't end up with back problems or other chronic issues. Each time I come in for a session, Marcie can see the particular areas that require focus for that day, and she pin-points movements and exercises to address them before they turn into problems for me as I get older. As a result, I feel GREAT and I can move with ease! People who see me think that I am younger than my age and I attribute that to the vitality that I feel from regular Gyrotonic sessions. I highly recommend Marcie as a Gyrotonic trainer!

Marcie takes mat Pilates and Barre classes to a new level. As a working actress and dancer, it is important to me to take with a teacher who avoids injuries, provides long/lean results and keeps the class interesting. Incorporating strength, cardio and weights makes it a one stop shop. Marcie gives you the burn but keeps the fun!
Matt Baron, Triathlete/Marathon Runner
I've taken GYROTONIC® classes with Marcie for five years. Marcie constantly adds new exercises to the core routines. Coupled with her outgoing and positive attitude, this keeps the classes fresh and fun.

Former NCAA Division I Athlete
As a former football player at UCLA and being in the fitness industry for 10 years, I have worked with many trainers. Marcie is unique in that she has a tremendous talent for discovering what works best for your body and determining the exact movements you need to be doing on a consistent basis in order to get the results you are looking for. I learned how to strengthen parts of my body that I had never been able to hit before while working with Marcie. Pilates and GYROTONIC® with Marcie is the perfect supplement to my weight training regimen. Every time I train with Marcie I leave feeling looser, more flexible and stronger. On top of all that, she is professional, sweet and joy to work with.
Thanks Marcie!
