Marie Hilferty

Fitness is my passion!  Those that train with me or visit my classes experience fresh, creative workouts, I never do the same workout, and it leaves people feeling present, energized, and mentally elevated.  I train my clients according to their goals and I aim for results.  Many of my clients, I've trained for over a decade.  I'm dependable and professional.  I began teaching group exercise at the age of 19 and worked as a fitness instructor while earning my BFA in Dance from Temple University. I have 25+ years teaching dance, group exercise, and personal training residentially and in some of Philadelphia's finest fitness centers, 5 diamond hotels, and schools/universities.  I also have quite a resume of people that I've re-taught how to eat sensibly and lose pounds. I was chosen to represent Philadelphia in The Winter Olympic Torch Relay in 2001-02.  My certifications are under AFAA and AAAI-ISMA: personal training, group exercise, sports nutrition, life/wellness coaching, kids & teen fitness, older adult/senior fitness, aqua, step aerobics, kick boxing, bOSU integrated balance training, glide, advanced body bar training, oriental energetics, and thai yoga massage bodywork training and a Jillian Michaels Body Shred certification.  I also have a teaching certification in elementary education. I love inspiring others and helping them to recover health or maintain their wellness through the joy of movement.  Educating my clients with proper alignment cues and maintaining a positive energy for clients and my classes to thrive within is important to me.  My classes cultivate a sense of community amongst members where friendships are born and goals are realized.  check out www.HomeGirlLife.com, www.fitbymarie.com Cheers!
