Hi, I'm Marilyn, an exercise therapist, personal trainer and owner of MVR Fitness.

At the age of 58, I transformed my life after a traumatic injury changed the trajectory of my life. I had to break free of old expectations if I was to be successful at reinventing my life.

I was encouraged to identify what I truly wanted which was to become an exercise therapist. I was passionate about how the body ages and how we can positively affect every aspect of that through mindset, connections, supercharging our nutrition and developing a fitness journey.

The process that I utilized transformed nearly every aspect of my life. Empowering others to find enduring joy through fitness is my passion.

In January 2025, my book Revitalize Your Vitality Clock will be available to help people everywhere take control of their lives and launch this vibrant new era.

I am married to my best friend Kevin. We are a blended family of seven children, eight grandchildren, and our dog. I continue to cycle, walk, kayak, hike, lift heavy, work in the garden, and chase the grandkids in the park.

I don't believe in aging gracefully. Rather I believe in getting dusty, being adventurous, chasing our grandkids and busting biases around aging. You're only as old as you believe.

My Why

During the 14-month recovery period from the traumatic injury, I developed a profound respect for my body, the power of working within my limitations, and the impact of my mindset. This journey has empowered me, and I want to share this empowerment with others. I want others to receive the same care, determination, education, and commitment my exercise therapist gave me. She was in my corner daily. I promise you nothing
