FIT ANNE
FLOURISH
What Flourishing Looks Like
For one person, flourishing might mean crossing the finish line of a marathon. For another, it might mean walking without pain, keeping up with the grandchildren, feeling confident carrying groceries or taking that active trip.
Every journey is different, and every goal matters.
Challenge. Persevere. Achieve.
Setting a meaningful goal, challenging yourself and
discovering what you are capable of.
Strength for the Life You Love.
Building the strength and confidence to explore, travel, and stay fully engaged in life.
Real People. Real Progress. Real Stories.
Client Success Stories
FEMALE, AGE 63
I navigated breast cancer, a fractured patella, and a string of other physical challenges before realizing that, somewhere along the way, I had quietly adopted the belief that certain things were simply too late for me. That realization changed something. I sought out Anne—and began replacing that belief with one I now hold close: “If it’s going to be, it’s up to me.”
I work with Anne of Fit Anne Flourish every week to build strength, balance, and inner resilience. I chose Anne because she is knowledgeable, motivating, engaging, and genuinely invested in helping me become my best. She meets me exactly where I am, adapting to whatever physical limitation may show up along the way while continuing to help me see what is possible.
Time with Anne is truly about you—where you are, what you need, and what you are capable of becoming. I believe we all deserve our own love, attention, and effort—and the opportunity to become the best version of ourselves mentally, physically, and spiritually.
So, to anyone who has quietly begun to believe it may be too late to get stronger, I would say simply:
It is never too late to begin.
FEMALE, AGE 77
When I turned 75, I started to worry about falling. After 2 years of workouts, twice a week, I am confident that my balance is as good as it was when I was 50!
FEMALE, AGE 68
It’s never too late to get stronger! AnneMarie individualizes your workout to your own needs and abilities. For someone who hated to exercise, I now look forward to strength training with AnneMarie! My greatest accomplishment since working with her has been walking a difficult portion of El Camino in northern Spain.
FEMALE, AGE 58
It is intimidating to exercise in front of others! Feelings of judgement or competition contributed to my aversion to the gym. Working with Anne is very comfortable. She meets me where I am in my fitness journey. I feel supported and cheered on, and never judged.
The physical effects of personal training have helped me immensely, but flourishing also means the psychological effects. I feel accomplished after I have trained, and I have never stuck with an exercise program, class, or gym for the amount of years I have done personal training with Anne. It has become obvious to me that attempting to age better must include strength training.
FEMALE, AGE 83
I jump start my week on Monday morning at Fit Anne Flourish. It gives me an opportunity to get at least two other workouts in at the Senior Center.
I look forward to that time and Anne gives me new ideas for my other workouts and lots of encouragement!
My troublesome knees from past injuries have been strengthened and balance has really improved!
FEMALE, AGE 40s
Anne is literally the best there is!! She has helped transform the fitness habits of my whole family. Anne is a true professional, tailoring each workout to our fitness level and goals.
She is always smiling and working out with her is so much fun! I actually look forward to our workouts and feel energized every time. My family and I would recommend her 100%.
MALE, AGE 60
So many things have changed. I’m able to do more around the house, fully participate in gardening—something I really enjoy—and I’m playing the best golf of my life. I can travel to new places and move without pain. One of my proudest moments was spending a day walking around Istanbul, Turkey. When we got back to our hotel, I realized we had walked eight miles—and it didn’t faze me.
Anne is patient and meets you at the fitness level you’re at. I’ve never felt judged; I’ve always felt supported. If you’re nervous about hiring a personal trainer, I think those nerves will disappear within five minutes.
I certainly thought it was too late, but at age 60, I’ve gained strength, endurance, and flexibility. Anne’s support and expertise have helped me enjoy the everyday things in life that used to be more difficult. She’s helped me immensely.
FEMALE, AGE 77
In my early 70s I was noticing my lack of balance. I would think “I’m going to fall over and break a hip when I get dressed in the morning!”
I’ve had trainers start and quit. Anne started slowly. Three years later, I no longer have to whine and cry through my exercise program 2x a week. I can actually do it! I no longer have a fear of falling while getting dressed in the morning, nor gardening and falling into my flower bed. I am much stronger and far more stable than before.
FEMALE, AGE 67
Before I started working with Anne I had neck surgery. I went to PT which helped, but I knew I needed to continue strengthening my left side.
Not only did Anne help me improve my strength, but she also improved my balance and increased my endurance.
I would tell anyone that it is never too late to start and a personal trainer can modify the workout with you so you can progress towards your goals.
MALE, AGE 67
After nearly seven years of working with Anne, I feel the difference in every part of my life—mind, body, and spirit. I went from being overweight, sluggish and a little slow to feeling stronger, leaner and even “chiseled,” with more stamina, energy and zest for life. I’m more flexible, mentally sharper, and I always leave my workouts feeling better than when I arrived, with a real sense of accomplishment.
At 67, I’m proof that it’s never too late. As the Chicago song says, I’m ‘Feelin’ Stronger Every Day.’ And Anne even trained my father when he was nearly 90. Strength really is for every age.
MALE, AGE 39
As a busy working father, I needed to prioritize my health & fitness. Making the most of my strength training time was important. Anne keeps me accountable and continues to plan and execute workouts that challenge my strength and stability.
FEMALE, AGE 44
I’m most proud of how much stronger I’ve become. I can lift heavier, move with more control, and I feel much more confident pushing myself because I know I’m doing it the right way.
I’d tell them it doesn’t have to feel intimidating. Anne meets you where you are, challenges you without making you feel judged, and makes the whole process feel very doable. I’ve always felt supported, but also pushed in the best way.
