Hi! My name is Mary Stewart, I am 53 yrs. old, married with 3 adult children. My husband Jeff and I own and operate the Miss Chris Marina and the Cape May Whale Watcher. I have struggled with my weight since I was a child. I was never much for working out at a gym, but my youngest daughter Brigid suggested I give it a try about 3 years ago... now I am hooked! Once I turned 50, I decided that taking care of my health and getting strong meant working out regularly so I joined World Gym. I had a girlfriend who worked out and she started to train me, but then got a full time job and I continued on my own. The results were good but I get bored easily and soon found myself skipping workouts. I met Celeste in October of 2005 and immediately liked her friendly, easy going manner. I also figured that anyone who looked so terrific must know what she's talking about. I first tried 3 sessions and immediately signed up for 10 more and soon decided that Celeste and I would work together until I achieve the fitness level I want or die trying (just kidding).

I have re-shaped my body and become very strong- I can carry all my groceries in from the car in just one trip. I am not as lean as I'd like, but am slowly chipping away at the lump of marble that is my body to find the goddess within. I work out 3 days/ week with Celeste and love every minute of it. She challenges me and always switches up my routine, the same moves are never repeated twice. I also do aqua aerobics twice a week in Cape May and do cardio daily except Sunday, usually 45 min of walking, an elliptical machine and I also take an extra class or 2 at World Gym whenever I can. My friends think I'm silly investing so much in my health, but I beg to differ. The best part of hiring a personal trainer is that I never skip a session. Without Celeste, it would be very easy to talk myself out of going to the gym most days. As I said to her the other day, a great slogan for a bumper sticker would be "Celeste knows best"!
