Fit & Fab
Member Spotlight
Sometimes the stories of others inspire us to take the next step in our own fitness journey.
Every woman's journey is different - but one thing they have in common is they simply decided to begin. They didn't wait until everything was perfect. They just took that first step - then another. I hope their stories encourage you to take your own first step.

Strong Enough to Keep Up with My Grandkids
Joining Fit and Fab has made such a positive change in my quality of life! I had not strength trained or practiced consistent, structured movement in several years due to inflammation in my joints & IT band issues - which had resulted in a decrease in muscle mass.
I began the Fit and Fab program modified with little to no weight and progressed to now using 5-15 pound weights depending on the exercise movement. My beginning goal was to be able to lift my new grandchild without pain. With that accomplished, I wanted to be able to play on the floor with him; to get up and down from the floor easily.
Next, I wanted to walk stairs normally (not sideways or one leg at a time) & lose the need/habit to support myself when sitting or standing at church, home, etc.
This year my younger son got married and I wanted to hold my now 2 grandchildren for pictures. At almost 3 yrs old & 9 months old, I knew that could be a challenge, but with the help of this program and support & guidance from Marian, I was able to do just that.
On to the next goal! And yes, I'm glad I trained today!!”Â

I Finally Found a Program That Fits My Life
I was searching for an online strength-training program for women over 50 when I found Fit & Fab. From the first workout, I felt like it was going to be a fantastic program for me. Marian contacted me as soon as I signed up, and she wanted to get to know me - what my goals were, my workout history, any limitations I had, and basically just wanting to learn more about me as an individual, which I really appreciated. I joined to build strength as I age, and more specifically to build leg strength because I am having knee replacement surgery soon.Â
Since I have started doing the workouts each week, I’ve lost weight (25 lbs and still going!) and built a lot of strength. My clothes fit better, some have gotten too big, and I’m starting to like how I look in my clothes.Â
The muscle I have built has helped a great deal in strengthening the muscles around my knees as I get closer to my surgery date. Even the physical therapist I worked with commented that she could tell I’ve gotten stronger!Â

The Workout I Can
Take Anywhere
The best part of partnering with Marian is the flexibility of her workouts. I've exercised my entire life but in this "vintage" season, I needed to strength-train more. The worst part is knowing what to do. The gift of just "pressing play" and VOILA, there is the most beautiful, inspiring, motivating presence on your screen modeling exactly what to do is life changing! I've taken Marian all over the world with me: Italy, Alaska, The Bahamas and Hawaii to name a few. Convenience is everything to me and I find it easy to fit in her 30 minute workouts into my busy schedule. And don't be fooled...they're HARD!!Â
 This Granny Fannie isn't going to be lulled into cruising through life; I've got grandbabies to pick up and play on the floor with! Thank you Marian! What you've created is changing lives.

The Best Decision
I Almost Didn't Make
In April 2025, I stopped by our local tile store to pick out a backsplash for my kitchen. My friend Marian was working, and while we were talking, she reminded me of something she’d shared with me a few years earlier. She and her husband had moved to town to care for her mother. That immediately resonated with me because I had also been my mom’s caregiver.
Marian told me she had made a promise to her mom that she would take better care of herself. After her mother’s passing, she honored that promise by creating Fit & Fab. She invited me to check it out and explained that the community included members in their 30s, 40s, 50s, 60s, 70s—and even 80s.
When I got home, I visited the website. I’ll be honest—I joined reluctantly.
At the time, I signed up because of my granddaughter, Georgia. I wanted to be the kind of grandmother who leads by example and shows her that taking care of yourself is important at every stage of life.
Fifteen months later, I haven’t looked back.
What started as something I was doing for Georgia has become something I do for myself. I genuinely love it and can’t imagine my life without Fit & Fab.
