Mary began her career in teaching fitness on the island of Jersey (English Channel) back in 1978, leading a class called “Popmobility”. Having moved to Vancouver in 1984, she became a certified Fitness Leader and continued teaching group fitness classes at numerous locations on the North Shore.

In 1991 Mary left her full time work in a financial institution and embarked on a career working in a fitness club/gym as a sales rep/fitness instructor which led to a management position.

Mary then decided to pursue her fitness education further and became a certified personal trainer and lifestyle and weight management consultant. She started her own business “Fitness for Every Body” and a full time fitness career working for several facilities on the North Shore, teaching clients one-on-one programs as well as continuing to lead up 10 aerobic classes per week.
