"As a former health club owner and personal trainer, I
have worked with some of the most elite athletes as
well as your average ‘soccer mom’. Throughout my
dealings withpeople in the fitness industry I have
never met someone as dedicated and motivated as
Maren Piefer. I actually hired Maren as Adult Fitness
Director of one of my locations and that hire was the
best hire I made in ten years of owning facilities!

Maren’s dedication to grow a program was unparalleled. Her charisma and personality
along with her knowledge of her profession made her an instant success and one that
people were flocking to be around. I am no longer an owner or active as a trainer, but
Maren Piefer is at the top of my list if I was to ever open another facility. And to show
how much I trust and believe in her capabilities I have called on her to guide me in my
fitness routine. There are less than a handful of people I would trust to my fitness and
Maren is one of them. If you are looking to be babysat, go to the YMCA; but if you really
want to become physically fit and change your life, go see Maren! I have!"
-Chad Revelle, Raleigh, NC
"Maren is by far the best trainer I ever had. Her experience with Pilates, working the
core, understanding an efficient workout, and her overall strong knowledge of
fitness/nutrition/weight loss made her the best I ever had. If I lived near Maren,
which I don't, I would absolutely train with her as much as I possibly could. She helps
you meet every goal...and she's so good at it! I'm always apprehensive about spending
money on personal training.. it always seemed like too much money! But MAREN was the
best money I ever spent. I miss her!"
-Tracie Krieger. Palm Beach Gardens, FL Mother of three!
"I have tried every diet there is and have worked out for years. Never have I
experienced such a change in my body since I started working with Maren. In just 4
weeks I have noticed a complete change in my physique. My friends and family keep
saying how amazed they are at my progress. It is hard work and is very challenging, but
allot of fun and I have learned so much about my body, how to eat right, and work out. I
am so happy I decided to work with Maren and look forward to my continued success." -
Lisa Kohl, Boca Raton, FL
"Never in my life have I met someone with so much regard, knowledge, passion and
understanding of Fitness and how it relates to the human body. After only two weeks of
training with Maren, I saw things start to happen with my body that I never thought
possible and felt healthier than I've ever felt in my life!"
-Jordana Engholm, Boca Raton, FL
"Maren was instrumental in getting me back into exercising. She was my personal
trainer a few years ago, and I still use what I learned from her. Very motivational!
Wish she was still in my area!" –Elaine, Redwood Shores, CA
"After I had my two kids I was so fortunate to have met you because you worked me
really hard to lose that nagging 10 pounds of baby weight. I moved now but have
incorporated all the workouts into my routine here and have lost all the baby weight plus
some. Thanks for being so great at what you do!!!" -Andrea Payne, Atlanta, GA
"I had Maren as my instructor for the Low Impact Aerobics course at
Florida Atlantic University this past Spring 2007. She is a wonderful, caring,
compassionate and knowledgeable instructor. Maren also has a great sense of humor
which makes learning and staying healthy very fun and a priority."
-Mike Talebi, Boca Raton, FL
"If you train with Maren, you will not be disappointed. She personifies fitness in
everything she does. I have watched her transform her body to be competition ready in
5 months. She practices what she preaches! If you trainer with her and listen to all her
tips on nutrition and exercise, you will get results! Maren is very positive when she
trains which makes you excited to work harder and keep with it. Her attitude about
fitness is contagious!!!" -Debbie Peters, Boca Raton, FL
"I would like to offer my recommendation of Ms. Piefer as a skilled professional who will
be an asset to any organization. I worked with Maren for several months during her
time in Raleigh, NC as one of her clients at Velocity Sports Performance. In the time
we worked together, I was duly impressed with her command of exercise physiology and
its application to the development of fitness in adults.
Not ever having enrolled in a gym or fitness program before, I had no idea what to
expect. Maren exhibited a firm, but fair, approach to the development of our fitness
regimen, being careful to balance challenging the students with maintaining a fun and
interesting environment. Given that these classes occurred at 6 AM makes the feat
more impressive. I found that her knowledge of proper exercise technique and
nutritional principles helped to make the program one that provided superior value for
the time and money spent.
Maren’s enthusiasm and affable demeanor make it a pleasure to work with her. She is
very approachable and encourages feedback from her students as a way to develop the
relationships. The fitness business can be difficult in that it is hard to maintain
interest and motivation. She excelled at the development of a varied training regimen
that not only maintained interest but also gave the students a complete fitness
experience.
Maren is a person of integrity who appeared to me to be dedicated to the satisfaction
and good health of her students. Her professional aptitude is as good as I have seen and
I will miss having her as my trainer." -Steve Lauhoff, Raleigh, NC
"While I’ve always been someone who worked out at some level, the workouts that
Maren led at Velocity Sports Performance took me to me to places that I had never
previously experienced. The variety of the workouts pushed me in ways that I never
would have gone on my own.
Maren always said that she enjoyed our class, and I can honestly say that we enjoyed
her just as much. She was a total pain in the butt at times, and I often wondered why
she was making me do some of the things we were doing. But she did it in a way that we
all responded to, and in a way that we wanted to respond to. There were a couple of
times when we had different instructors, and the classes were just not the same.
Fitness is her calling." –Chris Blake, Raleigh, NC
After only 3 weeks of doing Physique training with Maren, I can't praise her enough. I
had been putting off working out with a trainer for several years..I was waiting to find
just the right one. After a 6 week long hiatus from all exercise, suddenly I found
myself in a situation where NOTHING fit. Instead of gong shopping for a new wardrobe,
I called Maren. Even though I was very uncertain about lifting heavy weights..(I had
always thought lower weights and high resistance helped tone)...and I certainly didn't
want to bulk up at this point... I put my faith in her..and here I am 3 weeks later..feeling
and looking better than I did before. And..my clothes all fit again. Even better than all
of that is the fact that I now have new goals. I guess I had basically reached a point of
complacency as far as my fitness was concerned. Now I'm revved up again and ready to
reach a new level of fitness that I didn't even imagine before. That's what this is about
for me..dreaming even bigger. And..with Maren..I actually think I can get there.
