  • “I’ve been working with Margarita for over a year and as a woman over 50, my weekly session with Margarita is the most impactful health routine I’ve made. Margarita not only develops varied routines to strengthen, but she also looks at whole body imbalances. We work on flexibility, core strength, and balance. She also provides knowledgeable feedback to support me with health outside of our sessions. I highly recommend Margarita for anyone looking for a highly qualified trainer who is knowledgeable about women’s aging body and women’s health issues. Not only do I feel stronger working with Margarita, but I am more attuned to my body and receive professional support for my overall health.”

  • “I trained with Margarita for over a year. She really helped me get out of a rut and into a sustained workout regimen that started my day off with a great workout. I wasn’t a morning person before Margarita. She really cared a lot about my health and nutrition as well to make the most out my training. Her amazingly positive attitude and knowledge about strength training is inspiring! I really enjoyed our time together and continue my fitness journey because of her.”

  • "I’ve been working consistently with Margarita for the past few years, and I can confidently say she truly understands what it means to be an exceptional personal trainer. No matter your fitness background or goals, she has an incredible ability to meet you where you are and create a plan that feels personalized, effective, and sustainable. What sets Margarita apart is her attention to detail and how in tune she is with your body and progress. She helps you understand why you’re doing it, breaking things down in a way that’s approachable and empowering, even if you’re not someone who usually wants all the technical details. Thanks to her training, I’ve gained so much more confidence in my lifting abilities and have seen results I’m genuinely proud of. She creates an environment that is motivating, supportive, and tailored entirely to your individual needs. I highly recommend working with Margarita, no matter where you’re starting or what goals you have! She truly knows how to bring out the best in her clients."

  • “As someone who has never lifted a weight before in my entire life, I was so intimidated by the idea of working out but Margarita made the entire process so approachable it felt like I was just working out with a friend! She really listened to my goals, tailored my workout plan to what I wanted to achieve, and met me on my level so that I felt comfortable and confident hitting the gym on my own. I’d highly recommend working with Margarita if you’re looking to hit your fitness goals in a knowledgeable, safe, and supportive environment!”

  • “When it comes to the mind-body connection, Margarita Keen-Phillippe is a consummate master. She doesn’t just run you through sets and reps; she truly pays attention. She has an incredible ability to understand exactly what an F45 athlete or private client is trying to get out of a workout, and she connects that directly to their larger goals. I’m a NASM-certified wellness coach, and having personally lost 312 pounds, I know firsthand that you have to connect with someone’s mind and heart before their body will truly buy in. Margarita understands that instinctively. She meets people exactly where they are. Her encouragement is authentic, and she guides you forward in a way that is both empowering and sustainable. Training with Margarita is impactful because she brings together a rare combination of empathy, sharp insight, and elite coaching skill. I have nothing but the deepest respect for her.”

    — John V.

    — Robert M.

  • “I started working with Margarita after a breast cancer diagnosis and I’m so thankful to have found her. Having her guidance and coaching has been invaluable to gaining remarkable strength and finding confidence in my body again. The attention to technique and constant feedback has also allowed me to get strong without any injuries. Totally worth the investment.”
