“Not long after deciding I wanted to live on my sailboat, I hired Maria Rossi to be my personal trainer and accountability partner. I asked her to help me become the strongest version of myself. I had recently discovered that I was NOT as strong as I thought when I injured my shoulder trying to pull up our anchor as a storm skirted by and almost blew us onto the shore. Maria carefully helped me recover, and gain strength… but she ignited the greatest transformation by celebrating my progress and encouraging me through my setbacks so consistently.

Women often think we should be able to accomplish our goals on our own, or we feel it is selfish to spend money on ourselves. But this decision to have a weekly personal training session with Maria led me to profound changes. I gained much more from Maria’s coaching than just strength training technique and nutritional guidance. She gave me a fresh appreciation for setting and achieving goals with a plan, and celebrating consistency and progress over perfection. Her influence strengthened my confidence, and it has shown up in my professional pursuits and personal relationships too. Maria has become one of the most influential women in my life. She celebrates every day, and we can all learn from her example.”

“You never can go wrong when you pick Maria Jose Rossi for your fitness goals!!!! I always liked sports and to workout but after life became super busy with kids and jobs I struggled a lot until I found Majo; she is not only very good and knowledgeable at what she does but also very down-to-earth and tailors personal routines and nutrition based on your goals and time. Together, I was able to achieve in a short time a much better healthy and organized life. For me it is a one way trip, sustainable without struggling with restrictive diets and hungry. Best investment in this 2020; besides she is a great person!”

“I first met Maria 6 years ago when I started taking classes at the local YMCA. She immediately became my favorite instructor, and I tried to take as many of her classes as I could. I then began training with her on a personal level. I cannot say enough good things about Maria. Her workouts are challenging, but doable and always leave you feeling accomplished and good about yourself. She is super motivating and understand and a positive influence in my life. Not to mention that she’s just a great person overall.”

“After five years of fertility treatments followed by a high risk pregnancy, my body felt completely unrecognizable to the person I was prior. I had tried various classes and diets following the birth of my son but nothing seemed to work to help me get strong and toned. I reached out to Maria in September 2020 and it was one of the best things I have done for myself in years. In just a few short months, my body is stronger than it has been in years and she has isolated muscles I never knew I had. I look forward to seeing what my body can do in this year ahead under Maria's guidance. She is inspiring and thoughtful and knows how to push you in just the right way! So lucky to have found someone like Maria to help me on this journey.”

“Maria is a great trainer. She was diligent in gathering information, checking our fitness levels (I train with my daughter), and coming up with fitness plans that were appropriate for each of us. She makes us work hard, and she is very encouraging. And she goes above and beyond by texting after workouts to how we're feeling. She's an excellent trainer and an equally good person.”

In addition to building an effective weight and nutrition plan for me, Maria has been an inspiration. She has a great energy and really pushes me to do more. She is the best around!”

“Maria is more than a trainer. She is a coach, mentor, and motivator. Maria not only encourages, but will tailor your workout to your specific goals. She does not have a one plan for everyone approach. She listens to your specific goals and any health concerns you may have, when coming up with a detailed plan tailored for your needs. She genuinely cares about her clients and watching them succeed.”

—Client

Maria changed the way I think about food and my body just within two weeks of meeting her. Her dedication, professionalism and warm personality got me hooked to her regimen. She also practices what she preaches her clients. She only advises based on what the client needs at that point in time and sets you up for success. She also follows through after every work out routine/meeting to make sure I am ok! Such a good moral support and work out buddy to keep us working moms fit and healthy.

—Client

María changed many people's lives by changing their energy with motivation leading by example of routines, perseverance and organization in many levels. She is very committed and professional with her clients! Results are guaranteed with her guidance!

“Working with Maria Rossi Fitness for the past 1.5 years since my breast cancer battle has been a life changing experience for me. Maria knows how to motivate, support and empower me to reach my goals. She does all of this in a loving and safe environment.”

— Client

"Started working with Maria in her professional fitness studio at the beginning of 2023 with individual private sessions. She is incredible—her warmth, enthusiasm, and genuine desire to help you be your strongest are so appreciated! As an individual living with a rare, chronic lung disease, Maria takes extra care and caution to ensure we have a safe and thoughtful session tailored to my health needs. She sanitizes every piece of equipment prior to my appointment and wears a face mask. Maria always asks me to take breaks as needed and hydrate adequately throughout the workout.“
