I’ve worked with Rissa for over two years now and she is an excellent trainer! She has many skills which include being able to listen to my stories and keep track of how many reps I’ve done. She also always catches when a move wasn’t executed correctly, and tells me how to fix my form. (I call her eagle eye, because she doesn’t miss a thing.) Somehow, she can also tell when a weight “looks to easy” and encourages me to lift heavier.
My husband comments all the time that I used to feel frail and breakable before strength training with her, but now he says I feel solid and strong.
Training with her has helped me through a marathon and half marathon. I honestly credit training with her for the reason I didn’t sustain any running injuries and felt so good during my races.
She always asks how I feel after a workout and I say “better than when I came in!”
Thanks Rissa!

I have been with Marissa for a very long time. I HATE every minute of it, but I really like and respect Marissa. Her program gets results, and she always meets me with her professionalism no matter where I might be on any given day. If an exercise hurts or something of mine hurts, Marissa always has an alternative that works.

Professional, knowledgeable, caring, gets results.
