Over the years, I’ve worked with many amazing humans from all walks of life but, I’ve found my strength is working with clients over the age of 50 who are ready to prioritize their long-term health and:

  • Have noticed a decline in their strength and want to minimize their risk of falls and injury.

  • Know the importance of strength training but feel lost and confused how to do so safely and appropriately

  • Are successful in various aspects of their lives but struggle to motivate themselves when it comes to fitness

  • Are ready to push themselves and stay open minded about trying new, challenging activities

  • Recognize their need to invest in their health and are committed to improving their strength for greater freedom and enjoyment in life

Kind Words

  • “Mary tailors workout routines just for you, whether you are an extremely athletic person who needs some regular rebalancing, or someone like me, who sits all day at the computer, and needs to be accountable to someone for my exercise. On top of being a skilled trainer, she is a wonderful, kind, brilliant person with a great sense of humor. And so it is always therapeutic to just be with her."

  • “After my 65th birthday, I seriously began to worry about how I would manage living alone if that came to pass. Lifting boxes, unscrewing tight jars, that sort of thing had become ordeals. So I sought out a trainer who works with older people- I feel so lucky to have found Mary. Since beginning with Mary I am doing much better with lifting and unscrewing jars (haha) and generally feel much more confident about aging.”

  • “Mary Rocha is a fantastic trainer. She is attentive to your whole body, and how mobility is connected to strength. She has a good eye for form, making sure you're doing your exercises properly, so as to avoid injury. Quality of movement is as if not more important than quantity.”

  • “Mary is very professional in her work. She builds upon skills, keeps one advancing and offers enough variety that one is never bored. And she makes the work-outs hard but fun!”

  • “Mary is a source of strength and joy to me, and I guarantee that she will be the same for you!”

  • “[Mary] has achieved the impossible: she has made me want to work out, want to eat well, and want to stay fit. And she has done it all with encouragement, teasing and smiling. Each individually designed workout gauges where I am and what I can do, and then gets me to a place where I can do more.”
