Mary Ann Brown

Personal Coach, Functional Fitness and Strength Training
What certifications, education, or experience do you bring to clients?
I have a degree in Kinesiology and Community Health and hold a current CrossFit Level 2 certification.

My approach to coaching is built on real relationships with my clients and meeting them where they are. Everyone comes in with different experiences, stress levels, and expectations, so I adjust my coaching to what each person actually needs in that moment. After nearly 30 years in the fitness industry, I’ve learned that the most sustainable progress comes from learning together, staying flexible, and building habits that fit real life...not perfection.

Coach
Greg Hepper
What is your role & speciality?
Online Performance & Lifestyle Coach
I specialize in helping high performing adults reclaim structure, rebuild discipline, and transform their bodies and mindset through tailored strength training, simplified nutrition, and behavior based coaching. My focus areas include fat loss, body recomposition, sustainable habit systems, and mindset transformation for long term change.
What certifications, education, or experience do you bring to clients?
I have a B.S. in Movement Science with an Exercise Science concentration, and over a decade of in-the-trenches coaching experience across private training, small groups, and online settings. My certifications include NSCA-CPT, Precision Nutrition Level 1, FMS Level 1, SFMA Level 1, PPSC, CFSC, and CCC. I’ve led teams, developed coaches, and built systems for scaling high touch online coaching programs. My approach blends deep knowledge of movement and behavior change with lived experience in what it takes to build discipline, resilience, and confidence from the inside out.
What’s your coaching philosophy or approach to helping clients succeed?
I believe in meeting people where they are and then giving them the tools, structure, and support to go further than they ever thought they could. My philosophy is rooted in the idea that physical change only lasts when it’s backed by internal change. That’s why my work always integrates mindset, behavior, and identity alongside training and nutrition. I focus on systems, not hacks. Progress, not perfection. And most of all helping people build unshakable self-trust so they can lead themselves for life.
What’s one thing you’re most passionate about in health, fitness, or nutrition?
Helping people unlearn the idea that they need to do everything perfectly to see results. I’m most passionate about teaching sustainable structure systems that simplify fitness, help people stay consistent through real-life chaos, and support them in becoming the kind of person they’ve always wanted to be. That moment when someone realizes they can trust themselves? That’s the win I chase every time.
