Mariko
With over 40 years in the health and fitness industry, I bring a lifetime of experience, passion, and dedication to helping others achieve their best selves.
What drives me is finding the right strategy to get each person moving in a way that feels good and lasts a lifetime.
My journey began first as a professional figure skater, then a cheerleader, and evolved into a fulfilling career as a personal trainer, coach, and speaker.
Over the decades, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients - from beginners taking their first steps toward fitness, to professional athletes and competitors in fitness and physique championships!
My approach is rooted in both science and empathy, blending proven methods with real-life experience to create sustainable results.
Whether you are looking to improve strength, mobility, endurance, or confidence, I will design a program to fit your goals- no matter your starting point.
Outside of the gym, I am a proud mother of two (adult) children. I live in Carleton Place, ON and enjoy RV travel and motorcycle adventures. A lifelong student of fitness, health, and wellness, I am constantly learning and evolving -just like the people I train.
I’m excited to now offer online training. I hope to make fitness accessible and sustainable no matter where you are or what your schedule is. My ultimate goal is to help you build your healthiest body, so you can live the life you want with strength, energy and confidence.
