Personal Training

With the better part of my life dedicated to dance, movement and teaching, in addition to 10+ years as a Personal Trainer and a Group Coach, I certainly know how important it is for us to live in our bodies, cultivate our passions and find happiness in sharing our spirit.
My Philosophy
Take responsibility for your learning. Move daily. Seek joy in the little and the big accomplishments. Set goals that are about how you feel above all. Look for the ah-ha moments, and keep going. Health and wellness are intrinsically related to our mental health, finding the peace, joy, purpose and passion in how we spend our time are key ingredients to the outcome.
Experience
With over 10 years as an Equinox Personal Trainer and Group Fitness Coach, in addition to my work as an Alvin Ailey trained professional dancer, I’ve come to understand that true strength is all about balance.

"Miriam has been my trainer for eight years. She is my mentor, counselor, and friend. When I started working with her, I was pregnant with my second daughter. I was looking for a trainer who would help me stay healthy and strong while pregnant, as well as renew my strength after having the baby. Miriam did those things, to be sure.
But in the meantime, she also became a close confidant and friend. Even though she pushes me to physically painful places, I have never dreaded a session with her.
Honoring the connection between mind and body, she motivates me by helping me to recognize the strength that I already have inside myself. When the pandemic forced us to think differently about everything, Miriam took the opportunity to pivot her training operation onto Zoom, and has done so successfully. It has been almost a year since we trained together in person, but I remain confident in her ability to motivate, engage, and advise me.
I highly recommend her as a trainer, and feel lucky to have her in my life!"

“The Zoom workouts with Miriam have been a fantastic way to stay in shape and keep connected with others during this tough time. The programming is excellent and constantly varied, incorporating what you have around -- from a towel to slide to a backpack full of canned goods to squat!”
-Alex Patterson
"Miriam did a great job sizing up my needs and addressing my desire for greater flexibility. I am impressed with her general knowledge of physiology and what each exercise is doing for your body. She communicates well, using plain language to describe the work and making it easy to get the most out of each session. But the best thing about Miriam is her generosity of spirit. She is kind, funny and enthusiastic, leaving you with a shine that lasts well into the day!"
