Marie Hong
Trainer at Women In Strength Fitness

Growing up in a house that was very focused on academics and studying, fitness and exercise was not prioritized throughout Marie’s childhood and early life. She was far from the athletic type, and it wasn’t until after college that she began to slowly explore working out and exercising. After having children and contending with a heavy dose of postpartum challenges, Marie dove head first into fitness and wellness as the instrument of change in reclaiming her strength and identity. What started as “going to the gym for me time,” quickly became a passion for weightlifting and learning the proper technique and form. Though intimidated at first, Marie fell in love with the process of getting stronger. It made her feel empowered to not only see the physical changes and progressive strength gains, but weightlifting also made her recognize how driven and mentally strong she can be. Realizing the benefits of weight training reach exceedingly beyond physical changes, and how it translates to many aspects of a person’s life, Marie earned her NFPT Personal Training certification and started working to share her passion with clients right away. Positively impacting someone’s life and health is what fuels her as a trainer. Her mission is to assist and guide people along their individual fitness journey and help them gain the subsequent strength, confidence, and capability it provides. Marie has met so many amazing people during her fitness journey, she’d like to be a part of yours as well.
