Hi, my name is Mari-Carmen, the founder of Mari Carmen Fitness. I have a background in Paediatric Nursing and as a mother of three, my passion and drive is to empower mums to achieve their Fitness, Health and Wellness goals. As a mum myself, I know how challenging being a mum can be, which is why I have developed all my programmes to focus on mind, health, and exercise as well as a nutrition plan that is suitable for the whole family. I love what I do and love seeing my clients become more confident, healthier and happier.

Health and fitness have been a huge part of my life and even more so since having my children. It has been integral to my physical, and mental well-being and health during my antenatal and post-natal time. I aim to show fellow, busy mums, how easy it is to implement healthy habits and exercise into a busy schedule through my various ‘Fit Mama’ online fitness programmes. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have either the access or time to get to a gym, I have designed home fitness programmes, which make it easy to lose weight at home.

With the launch of my new app Fit Mama Powered By Mari Carmen Fitness, health and fitness have never been easier for mums. I recognised a gap in the market in terms of health and fitness apps for mums. I decided to develop my app to reach more mums all over the country and make it accessible to all budgets and backgrounds through my 3 programmes delivered on the app. This is so exciting, I cannot wait to grow and develop the app further to provide a high-quality of service for mums all over the country.

Being a health and fitness coach for women is more than developing exercise programmes. When it comes to programming postnatal women require a high level of understanding and knowledge. As mothers we do not have the same amount of hours in a day as those without children, but why should we feel disadvantaged? It is about reframing our mindset and findings ways in which we can. keep fit and healthy in the little time we have. Mindset is so important when it comes to habit formation. Many women do not sustain their results following a regular diet plan, simply because they have not taken the time to understand their triggers, habits and mindset. Change happens when we understand all of these and create a programme which considers these. No size fits all!

When it comes to programming my mothers I use my tried and tested sustainable approach; no fads and certainly no restriction. What I teach my clients to do I live and breathe every day. It is easy when you know how and have been shown. But this takes time. If you have a burning desire to make long last changes then get in touch I would love to show you the right way.
