Marlyse, personal trainer and founder of Personal Trainer Madison

Fitness that supports your whole life.

As a science-based personal trainer, I love using evidence-informed techniques to help people rise to the occasions life brings. I want training to feel like a welcoming, neutral space where you can try new things, have fun, and build confidence without feeling judged.

I understand what it can mean to build muscle later in life and to begin seeing movement as a lifestyle rather than a chore. I love helping people change how they relate to their bodies, move beyond gym anxiety, and develop habits that fit their lives.

My background includes a bachelor's degree in biology, ACE certification as a personal trainer, experience as a victim advocate, physio-neuro-therapist, and teacher. To add to Personal Trainer Madison Wi, I am also studying to become a registered dietitian at Lamar University.

One of my favorite parts of this work is when a session becomes a chance to pursue a real-life goal we've been preparing for—conquering a hike together, completing a 5K, or returning to swimming after a long break. I love celebrating those milestones with clients. I also value the quieter wins: showing up to work out when life is busy, staying consistent, and recognizing that your effort matters.

Sometimes we lose sight of what matters most. My goal is to help people build focus, confidence, and trust in what their bodies can do to support the rest of their lives. I bring positivity, patience, practical problem-solving, and a growth mindset to the process. Training is a collaboration: we work through challenges together and look for realistic solutions that help you move forward.

Many clients choose to continue training even after reaching their initial goals, using our work together to maintain progress, explore new challenges, and keep movement part of their lives.

My love for Madison and its community is one of the reasons I built Personal Trainer Madison. I want to help people feel stronger and more confident so they can enjoy more of what this beautiful town has to offer.
