The end of the year brings perfect timing to audit the level of self care you accomplished in 2025 and use that to set goals on what you want to accomplish in the new year.
Score yourself #1 for poor and #5 for excellent, taking notes on anything necessary. In January we will take these sections 1-1 and learn ways to improve.

Or message to schedule a 1 hour audit with me where we personalize it to you.
Free 15:00 consults can also be scheduled.

2021 - 2023
By far the hardest and most stressful period of my life. Marked by grief, loss, an EF4 tornado, 4 surgeries, a broke foot after falling down the stairs, a business to run and in the throes of menopause (that's a different article for a later date 🤪)
But on the other side of that mountain I can see the strength built from enduring that period of time.

Many people treat the word "menopause" as a synonym for "old" when it reality the changes in hormones can begin in your thirties.
We go to doctors for help, many who rely on outdated and incomplete studies.
Educate yourself

Menopause is gaining attention in media and government, including the White House, but a recent series in The Lancet misses the mark for women.

* Every 33 seconds a person dies from heart disease.
* While cancer is the most feared diagnosis, heart disease accounts for twice as many deaths.
* Data from the INTERHEART study show that 90% of heart attack risk was due to preventable risk factors

In February's edition of the Vue covers your risk factors and prevention strategies

Unsure how to navigate the gym, especially in the rush of the new year?
•
Scared to commit to personal training package?
•
Consider me your health and wellness concierge. I've packaged a few services together for an "intro" into how we make this work for you.

This "basic training" works on a 1-2-3 step approach and by the time we finish you should have a plan in place as well as accountability for the first 30
days.

* I only have certain time/day I can do these, message with questions to see if that works for you.

I filled two time slots that became available last month. Both new clients said they found me on Facebook, leading me to address the fact my dwindling social media presence needs an updating.
📍
My name is Marissa and I'm the owner of Clean Slate Performance. I've lived a large portion of my life inside a gym, been a personal trainer since 2008. I did a short stint in CrossFit as a head coach and manager before leaving in 2017 because I saw a growing segment of the population that wanted help, but didn't know where to begin. When social media is a human highlight reel of young, ultra fit people doing intense things, I wanted to focus on what my strong suit as a coach is..simplifying the process to show that what social media often won't tell you-fitness doesn't have to look a specific way, a good coach will tailor it to your age, your goals and your abilities.
📍
I believe in utilizing compound exercises that focus on muscle endurance and range of motion-then strength.
I personally don't program a ton of high impact jumping/lunging type movements because of the stress on the joints (and because burpees still suck😝) and I can get your heart rate up without them.
📍
If you are the "I just need you to motivate me" type person, I'm probably not the person for you, and that's okay. If you walk in the door ready to work, we can get somewhere.
📍
Any of my clients will attest to the fact, I'm not here to count your reps (because I'm a squirrel) You spend 8-10 hours a day counting and see if you don't occasionally get off track. 😂

I currently don't have any openings, but I still give free 15:00 consultations and will be glad to put you on my waitlist.

Hormone levels/testing/therapy is a really trendy catch phrase for businesses these days. What they don't know, or aren't telling you about the effects it plays on your health.
