Mary's journey is built on passion, perseverance, and a genuine desire to help others become the best version of themselves.
Originally a Registered Nurse in the Philippines, Mary migrated to New Zealand in 2015 in search of new opportunities and experiences. She began her career in New Zealand working in aged care and later as a Community Support Worker, where she developed a deep passion for helping people improve their quality of life and overall wellbeing.
Her love for health and fitness inspired her to pursue a career in the fitness industry, leading her to achieve her Level 4 Personal Training Certification. Since then, she has dedicated herself to empowering others through fitness, education, and accountability.
Today, Mary is the Club Manager at Snap Fitness Albany, where she combines her healthcare background, fitness knowledge, and passion for people to help clients achieve lasting results.
As an athlete herself, Mary has competed in two Powerlifting competitions and continues to challenge herself through new fitness goals. She is currently preparing for her next challenge — HYROX — demonstrating her commitment to personal growth and leading by example.
Outside of the gym, Mary enjoys spending time on the golf course and loves the challenge, focus, and discipline that golf brings. Her passion for both fitness and golf reflects her belief that staying active should be enjoyable, rewarding, and sustainable for life.
Over the years, Mary has helped many women build confidence, improve their health, and achieve their fitness goals. She believes that fitness is about much more than physical transformation; it's about creating confidence, resilience, and a positive mindset that carries over into every aspect of life.
Mary's mission is to provide a supportive and welcoming environment where every client feels empowered, capable, and motivated to succeed.
