Joseph Marrella B.S. Health and Physical Education Corporate Wellness Speaker & Personal Trainer
Gail offers the clients of GG Fitness Productions additional health and wellness options through a unique partnership with her husband Joseph Marrella, President of JM Fitness Associates. As a professional speaker, his knowledge and strong interpersonal communication skills sparks his audiences' interest and motivation to pursue health with serious intent. In addition, "Joe has over twenty years of experience coaching professional and college athletes, corporate executives, and individuals going through physical rehabilitation or trying to achieve peak levels of fitness and athleticism, " says Gail. "His patient and positive personality has inspired lifestyle changes in adults and children from all walks of life."
Joe’s Whole Body Approach to Fitness “Health is a marathon, not a sprint,” says Joe. “There’s really no shortcut to wellness. It’s a lifelong commitment, easily achievable through demonstration, support, education, and practice.”
While delivering wellness presentations, Joe listened and observed his participants expressing the need for manageable ways to address lifestyle changes. The time and travel demands placed on executives and managers often made it difficult for them to eat right or exercise regularly. With Joe's vast experience as a professsional fitness trainer, he had the vision and foresight to understand what drives individuals to sustain their commitment to his program. From that awareness came a "prescription" for clients to strategize ways to challenge their health obstacles and achieve well-being.
Through JM Fitness Associates , Joe helps improve the quality of life for men and women offering his "tried and true" methods of success for staying focussed. “I enjoy motivating people to change their eating and exercise habits so they can become fit, energetic and healthy,” says Joe. “The transformation I’ve seen in my clients transcends the physical. They report a higher level of self-esteem, a more joyful attitude toward life and a desire to continue making positive changes.”
Inspirational and High-Energy Seminars Joe delivers interactive, high-energy wellness and sports-specific presentations to corporations, governments, schools, non-profits and professional service groups.
