Marli
Hey! I’m Marli and I am a personal trainer here at Body Basics!
I have been in the personal training industry for over 7 years, with many years before that working in swimming pools as a lifeguard, instructor, and teacher. I have taught yoga and stretch classes, helping the participants to release tight muscles and relieve the stress that day-to-day life can bring. I have also played my fair share of competitive sports
and coached as well.
After seeing how the body is so interconnected and moves as one, I started specializing in rehabilitation and conditioning for athletes, as well as for people who have mystery injuries where they can’t figure out what is going wrong. I also love to help people become stronger and see growth in the body that carries them everyday!
Working out in the gym can seem overwhelming at times but when you have the right person working with you, you will see your full potential and become stronger each day. Let’s have a chat and see what I can do to help you reach your goals, and see where your body
can take you! Looking forward to working with you :)

I grew up playing team sports like basketball and hockey and loved being active. In 2016 I started kickboxing, and in 2018 I ran my first obstacle course race. I like trying new things, and challenging what my body can do, so I also understand what it feels like to be unsure, and a total beginner.
I’m passionate about helping others, and became interested in being a trainer to share my love of exercise, and help others start their journey or continue progressing in it. For me, exercise is so much more than just losing weight, it’s about feeling good and being able to do things you want to do. I love running obstacle course races and lead a weekly local OCR workout group.

I've had a passion for fitness and strength conditioning since I was a competitor in high school and amateur sports since I was 14 (I was a provincial and national alternate for track and field competing in shot put, javelin and discus). I am a 25 year martial arts practitioner (goju-ryu, taekwondo, Greco and freestyle amateur wrestling), and was a 2007 Chenneys Western Canadian Open Martials Arts Full Contact Continuous Combat Champion. I have also been a wrestler, announcer and host for Real Canadian Wrestling in Calgary.
I am also an ISSA Elite Personal Trainer and bodybuilder, placing seventh in a Mr Muscle and Fitness Magazine competition. Fitness is a way of life for me and I live that passion every day. I love to encourage those around me to be the best that they can be and achieve personal satisfaction in their lives.

Health and fitness has always played a huge role in my life. My fitness journey began with sports. I was a competitive gymnast for 12 years. Due to a rough injury I had to quit the sport and that's when I started weightlifting. I have grown to have a passion for lifting and helping others with their own journey. I love watching people grow and develop in their own way.
I have also studied kinesiology at Red Deer College. I excel in strength training and will help you work towards the goals you have always desired. I know what it's like starting out in the gym unsure, but I will help you to be the most confident version of yourself. The gym is my favourite part of the day and I would love to make it yours as well.
Fun fact about me is you will never catch me skipping a leg day ;)
