Greetings Move Community!
Hello, I am Rowena, the new owner of MOVE! Fitness Studio in Nevada City.
Throughout my life, I've witnessed the harsh consequences of chronic diseases caused by inactivity and a poor diet. While adopting healthy lifestyle choices won't miraculously cure everything, it has been proven to enhance your longevity and vitality.
Following the tragic loss of a child, empowering my body through exercise helped me rediscover myself, regain self-esteem, and ultimately blessed me with three more healthy and wonderful children. As a result, my innate inclination led me to both pre-natal and post-natal fitness, instilling in me a sense of purpose to guide you through this remarkable journey.
At MOVE!, we are a multi-modality fitness studio that caters to all age groups. Our primary goal is to help you unveil your best self. Our certified personal trainers, who are friendly and knowledgeable, come from diverse backgrounds and bring a wealth of experiences.
We offer a range of options, including cardio-respiratory fitness, weight training, yoga, and Pilates, along with various tools and resources to create a personalized workout plan. Our focus lies in promoting proper form, functional mobility, and restorative stretching to enable you to continue MOVE!-ing and enjoying the things you love.
Grechen Mack
Gretchen has been a personal trainer for 15 years. She became certified as a trainer and started working with clients directly after finishing college. Her love for exercising in the outdoors including running, cycling, swimming, and hiking sparked a desire for her to encourage others to reach their full fitness potential. She enjoys teaching her clients proper form with functional strengthening, core exercises and stretches so they can live a more pain free and physically able lifestyle. Celebrating the steps her clients take toward their goal is what makes personal training so rewarding for her.
Gretchen and her husband have two children, who are also very active in sports and life outdoors. As a family, they enjoy being out on trails together, playing games, bike riding and swimming. By modeling an active lifestyle as a family, she hopes to instill that love into her children as well.
