About Marlo

My passion for movement began in my early years as a competitive gymnast and coach and developed further as I progressed in to dance and choreography. As a gymnastics coach I worked with the “tiny tot” program for 10 years, as well as the pre-competitive program for 6 of those years. This exposure to coach lead me to obtain a degree in Physical Education/Kinesiology. Following graduation from University I have had the pleasure of working at two Universities (Villanova University and Bates College) as both a Strength & Conditioning and Rowing Coach. Not only did I get to work specifically with the Men's and Women's Rowing Teams at both schools; at Villanova I helped with program development and implementation for football, swimming & diving, track & field, cross country, women's volleyball and women’s lacrosse. Also, at Bates I developed strength and conditioning programs for swimming, skiing, hockey, tennis, squash, dance, and was the Fitness Director/Wellness Coordinator on campus, creating appropriate programs for athletes, students, faculty and staff.

Over the past several years I have continued to work with athletes (triathletes, cyclists, swimmers, rowers, dancers, gymnasts, soccer, and hockey) as an independent trainer/coach in San Diego, CA, and St. Catharines, ON, and Burlington, ON Canada. However, my passion is to guide and develop proper movement in bodies of any age in order to reach their maximum potential. Aside from working in the field of fitness and performance athletics for over 20 years, I have trained and competed as an Elite Athlete in several sports (Rowing, Cycling, Triathlon, Gymnastics) over the past 30 years. I also hold a Bachelor's degree in Kinesiology, as well as several certifications NSCA-PT, CSCS, NCCPT, Cross Training, Rowing Coach, Gymnastics Coach, Ashtanga Yoga, Stott Mat Pilates, and Fascial Stretch Therapy. Therefore I possess a wealth of knowledge and experience to share with young athletes striving to succeed.
My specialty lies in building midline stability, muscular balance and flexibility. Based on the aforementioned principle of athletic development, my education, and my experience, I was able to help the Villanova Women’s Rowing Team acquire the NCAA Division I efficiency trophy for the first time in the school’s history. Also, under my direction, an elite triathlete plagued with injury for several years was able to finally complete her first Ironman (after several previous attempts), and in good standing, only to recover and race to win her age category in a half Ironman the following weekend! Also, a young dancer who suffers from an unexplained condition of sudden onset paralysis from the waist down, followed by 3-5 months of recovery, was on the verge of being cut from the elite program at her dance studio. While in paralysis, the muscles of the lower body would seize, which left her with lack of flexibility and strength once recovered from the paralysis. After only 3 month of work together she was able to achieve the body lines the dance director required, and not only was invited back in to the elite program, she was also invited to go on pointe, thus proving a dramatic increase in strength and flexibility.

Currently I am searching for an opportunity to offer my knowledge and expertise to Burlington, ON and surrounding communities.

About the lesson

My teaching methods are individually based on the needs of the athlete, student, team, or person looking to improve their physical life. Although the structure is scientifically based according to my education and certifications, every body is unique and the science is applied on a case to case basis. I work with individuals of all ages and skill levels, including those with physical limitations and injuries who look to improve quality of life.
