  • I've been training with Margaret for three years. I came in with a shoulder injury history and a genuine conviction that I'd never do squats safely again. Within months of working with her, I was squatting regularly, pain-free, and with a confidence I didn't think I'd get back. Her knowledge across every discipline of strength and conditioning is remarkable, and she applies it thoughtfully to whatever you need.
