Mary is mom to Liam (5/07), Sinead (6/10), and Jameson (7/12), and has owned Baby Boot Camp Oakland since April 2009. She has a B.A. in English and French Literature from U.C. San Diego, is an ACSM-certified personal trainer, and is certified in Group TRX Suspension Training. Mary is also a licensed provider in Core9 Birth Recovery and Diastasis Repair.

Mary works hard to make Baby Boot Camp classes fun and challenging, and wants to help motivate moms to reach their goals and potential. She strives to create a community of active, healthy moms.

Mary's "AHA" moment came when she started taking Baby Boot Camp classes after her first son was born. She was about 40 pounds overweight before she got pregnant and then put on 50 pounds with pregnancy. She lost all of the weight with proper nutrition and Baby Boot Camp classes (!) and realized that she had a true success story that she wanted to share with other moms.

Mary loves to exercise in the beautiful outdoors of Oakland, and is excited to share her passion for fitness with you!

Ariana has always been an active person, running, climbing, doing yoga and boot camp, but 14 weeks into her pregnancy, she had surgery and was put on modified bedrest. Her fitness completely went out the door. She discovered Baby Boot Camp when she was ready to jump back into exercise. It provided her the knowledge and options to start slowly and build her strength and endurance back, while also giving her the challenge she needed when she got her strength back. The fresh air and the relationships she built with other moms helped her stave off the isolation of the early days of being home alone with her two babies and got her body feeling good again. She found herself going even after her kids, now 3.5 years old, were in preschool. The next step for Ariana was to teach. As a clinical psychologist she realized that exercise, with the support of other moms, in the fresh air is one of the most therapeutic things she has done for herself and she hopes to give this to other parents.

Jeni started attending Baby Boot Camp when her son was 3.5 months and it quickly became her non-negotiable me time. Jeni and Henry have been attending Mary’s class multiple times a week for over a year now and she not only lost all of the baby weight (and is more physically fit than before her pregnancy), but she has found the most amazing community of moms who she is lucky enough to call friends. This is why Jeni jumped at the opportunity to be a part of the Baby Boot Camp community as an instructor. Being a mom can be exhausting and stressful, but Baby Boot Camp has lightened that load in so many ways and she is excited to bring health, energy and community to more moms!
