Train With Coach:

Marie Christophell

Background

Now a competitive powerlifter of 5 years with 6 meets under her belt and more on the horizon, Marie started strength training while earning her MA in English and decided to make it her career. Initially anxious and unsure in the gym, she recognized and felt the effects of the transformative power of weightlifting early on in her own strength journey, and made it her mission to share it with as many women and queer folks as possible.

In her over 5 years as a trainer she’s coached dozens of women and found deep fulfillment and joy in teaching them proper form and watching them grow as lifters under her guidance and as individuals outside of the gym. She is constantly striving to better serve her clients and her community, and believes her purpose lies in empowering women through movement and movement education.
