Mary-Lewis has deep and extensive experience in the field of personal fitness training.  In 1985, after studying Corporate Fitness at Longwood University, she moved to New York City and taught aerobic classes for high-end clients in the entertainment industry.  Moving back to her hometown of Williamsburg in 1987, Mary-Lewis continued her multifaceted training career working with different client populations.  From 1987 to 2021, she coached core conditioning classes for Williamsburg high school athletes, taught a range of group fitness classes at Kingsmill Resort, and worked as a Personal Trainer at Core Fitness.  In 2016 she began performance training at Pivot Physical Therapy (now Athletico), where she currently works three days a week, training individuals and leading classes for various client populations from age 55 to 95.

While she is distinctly proficient in the art of fitness conditioning, Mary-Lewis possesses a unique ability to connect with individuals on a personal level.  She focuses on assisting each client to grow in function of life skills.  She is most gratified when her clients achieve personal fitness progress whether weight loss, self-sufficiency in daily tasking, or consistency in their fitness routines.

Mary-Lewis is always on the go.  She participated and placed in the 1997 National Aerobic Championship Finals. She continues her personal workout regimen rigorously.  She loves her time with her children (their spouses) and her grandchildren.  She loves hiking, concerts and travel.  Her dogs are another love of her life.

Anne has a B.S. in Medical Technology from Penn State and Thomas Jefferson University. She held several certifications for fifteen years prior to retirement through the American Council of Exercise as a Group Fitness Instructor, Personal Trainer, and Health Coach. She owned a Jazzercise Franchise for twelve years.

Anne is a veteran personal trainer who is returning to work years after retirement because she is passionate about helping the aging population achieve fitness goals to stay as active and healthy as possible in the later years of life. Throughout her 25-year fitness career she taught Jazzercise, co-owned a Fitness Facility, offered personal training in the fitness facility, her home studio and in client’s homes as well as group classes for the county.

Her volunteer work has included training non athletes to complete a 26.2-mile walking marathon for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society including Bermuda, Dublin, Vancouver and the Marine Corps, ten years as a facilitator for cancer support groups through the Kelly Weinberg Foundation, Nine years of Pet Therapy visits through TDI and a lifetime of participation in various roles in her church.

She has lived in Toano since 2006 with her husband Ron and her beloved exercise machines Buddy and Truffle (Dogs who need walks). She and Ron have two children and five grandchildren located in Eastern Shore MD and Vermont.

She considers herself an endurance athlete preferring distance events over speed and has successfully run several marathons since age 57 and has completed 7 multi-state 500-mile bicycle rides for the non-profit Anchor House Ride for Runaways.  She currently runs, walks, golfs, paints, drums and stays involved in small group book studies. A daily walk/run with the dogs keeps her grounded to the changing seasons in nature and her own life.

It is her belief that she is in the most rewarding years of her life, a time in which celebrations center around family, friends and if possible, a lake view.

Her goals with training at Bdefined are to share the joys and challenges of an aging body with clients she has not yet met. This journey to a strong, balanced body that can thrive during challenging times is best shared with a friend who is on that same path. Life itself is an endurance event.
