As an experienced personal trainer, I believe that no matter what your physical condition is now, it can be improved, meaning looking and feeling better, handling stress more easily and having more energy.

After a successful career in finance, I went a different route. What I do now sustains me in a far better way. It's seeing people raise their self-expectations and goals, getting healthier.

Sports have always been an important part of my life, for the social aspect and as a release of stress in a fast-paced career requiring much travel, too little rest. Gymnastics in school was followed by roadracing/marathoning in New York City and Hong Kong as a stockbroker. When I moved to Singapore for my investment banking business, a friend introduced me to bodybuilding. That was 15 years and many IFBB competitions ago.

Resistance training had been the missing component in my athletic pursuits. Preparation for competition gave me the know-how to sculpt my physique, prevent sports injuries and raise my athletic performance several notches. I furthered my sports education with the Personal Training Certification and a sports nutrition program from the University of Colorado. I've served as Fitness Editor for several publications during my career, read some of my published articles. Articles by Marian.

My clients benefit from this knowledge. Adapting principles of the competitive athlete's regimen to your needs and lifestyle can RESHAPE you. Looking good and feeling strong raises your self esteem and energy level.

I have been coaching clients as a full-time pro in Hong Kong and Paris for 15 years, utilizing an American style, no-nonsense approach with great results for those of every nationality aged 14 to 75, male or female. I am now in the Miami Beach area for private training and/or diet consultations in English or French as you wish.
