If you’re time poor and feeling like you’re stretching yourself thin, making no progress with your health, trying everything with no results, it sounds like you could use some change.
Our clients often tell us the same thing when they meet us for the first time… they’ve tried so many things to get a hold of their health, they truly feel discouraged!
Remember what it’s like to meet up your friends after school, catch up about your plans, play games and run for the fun of it? Exercising should be challenging, but also fun and engaging!
Partnering up with a buddy or a coach to reach fitness goals has been shown to significantly increase adherence to any exercise program. Your coach and workout buddies are expecting you to show up – sticking with your schedule means doing more workouts in and getting more results!
As humans, we are wired to adapt and conform to our closest social groups (our partner, families, friends, coworkers, etc.). When you start spending time and building new relationships with positive people in your community who have their love for fitness in common, you will find yourself changing… for the better!
With a fun, engaging environment that combines exercises and challenges you to push yourself a little more each time, you will find yourself showing up excited, working hard and getting amazing results. You’ll be sore and keep coming back for more!
Spending time in nature, hanging out with friends, practicing yoga, and completing team challenges are great ways to reduce stress and anxiety in both kids and adults. Now, enjoy a healthy dose of post-workout endorphins and you’ll find yourself smiling for no reason.
You have no more brain power or will at the end of the day to make decisions? You want each and every workout session mapped out for you? Just show up to your scheduled workout. Your coach will take it from there.
With Monterey Bay Moves’ classes, I went down 2 waist sizes, lost weight, planks feel like rest time now, I am able to perform a correct push up on my toes and I hike uphill without needing to stop. Elizabeth is an amazing instructor and makes me feel very comfortable, motivated, and capable of achieving my goals. I love the variety of the workouts, the small class sizes, and the feedback on form/the right way to do the exercises.

Since a few months I’ve been working with Elizabeth to lose weight and get in better shape. I can highly recommend this personal trainer. Elizabeth lives at the Dunes and comes to my home for the workout sessions. She guides me very well and makes it fun!

Professional outdoor workouts right here in Marina. Coach Elizabeth and staff are the best! Motivating, positive, welcoming, and effective.

At first, I was worried I would not attend classes regularly, but the instructors keep the workouts varied and interesting; I am motivated to attend. I feel stronger and healthier. Coach Elizabeth knows how to motivate and encourage me to do my best. The warm-ups are fun and stretches are great. I feel very healthy and now look forward to my three classes I attend each week.

I joined the group classes to prevent back injury and increase my abdominal/core strength. At first, I thought the MetaFit class was very difficult, but that was because I hadn’t exercised in so long. Coach Elizabeth is encouraging and provides individual tips for optimal body positioning along with the group instructions. Explanations about the flow of the training are helpful for motivation and pacing. Now I am more aware of my posture and feel that my core has improved.

The yoga classes are amazing, as well! Each yoga class is a wonderful journey of harmony and peace!

Your program got me MOVING and perhaps is the beginning of a healthy lifestyle forever. The ideal of picking and choosing from your variety of classes is EXACTLY what was NEEDED. Thank you for being an AWESOME leader,coach and HUMAN Being. The outdoor and zoom programs that you offer literally saved my LIFE.

“The yoga classes (well all the other classes too) are great! Instructors have great teaching styles and I enjoy the use of aromatherapy and therapeutic adjustments during in person sessions. In light of the pandemic, classes have been made available online and they are both great at using their voices to guide you through flows when your have can’t necessarily be on the computer screen to feel the flow. The class times vary enough that I am able to fit 2-4 yoga sessions into my schedule each week!”

MBM has been so great for my physical and mental health. the workouts are mainly outside and I think that is what I love most about them. I am inside all day everyday and it feels so good to break a sweat in the fresh air.
Also, the classes cater very much for the 9-5 life, I especially like when we have our morning classes. It really gets my day started on the right foot. Before MBM I was sort of working out consistently but so bored with my workouts that I would easily fall out of my routine. There are several different classes MBM offers and I think with variety of workouts and classes is the reason I have been able to see more muscles in my arms and stomach.
Coach Elizabeth is what also makes MBM so great because she makes a big effort to create a community among us. She checks up on us, creates special challenges to keep us motivated, and has made a big effort to keep us safe during our workouts with all that 2020 has thrown at us. A lot of us have made friends within the group and MBM has been such a positive part of this year for me. (I’m not crying, you’re crying)

I’ve had private coaching with Monterey Bay Moved for the last six months, and it has been life changing. I’ve learned a ton about fitness and nutrition, and I’ve also learned about what gets in my way of pursuing my health. Elizabeth is great at listening to my fitness journey and plugging me in to the perfect trainers, classes, and experiences (like a community hike!) I’ve gained a significant amount of muscle, curbed the shelter-in-place weight gain, and staved off the quarantine blues through working with Elizabeth and the team. I’m really grateful for everything MBM has given me ♥️

I started taking yoga classes to add as a part of my routine during quarantine, and it’s made such an impact in my life! I have not practiced in a few years and for the first time in many years, I feel present in my own body. It’s a 55-minute flow that surprisingly gives you quite the workout! It’s tough, but good and much needed. They have you in poses that are not your usual chill yoga poses, but such interesting poses myself and my roommate have not done before that make you stretch and tone parts of your body you were unaware of. I’m also practically falling asleep by the end because it’s so peaceful. I LOVE IT! I look forward to it every Monday and Wednesday!!! My body is thankful.

I’ve been working out and taking yoga classes with Monterey Bay Moves for a little over a year. Elizabeth (the owner and head trainer for group fitness classes) is the most knowledgeable trainer I’ve ever met and worked out with. She corrects form and gives feedback and encouragement kindly but is also super motivating and pushes you to push your limits safely. The yoga instructors all offer their own unique style, which helps keep my practice versatile and challenging while teaching me various breath techniques and mindfulness from various schools of thought. I would highly recommend Monterey Bay Moves to people of any fitness level!

Elizabeth is the best! She works with you to find out what you want to achieve, assesses your current physical abilities and tailors a program just for you. As you progress, she tweaks and changes your routine so that you are not always stuck doing the same thing. After working out with her for almost 3 months now, I highly recommend Elizabeth and Monterey Bay Moves.

Elizabeth Plante is a great person and mentor. Her knowledge and experience as a mentor/trainer helped me successfully complete my first triathlon! I highly recommend her for anyone wanting to achieve their fitness goals!
Joe Cruz
The environment that Elizabeth has created and fostered is just what I needed. Everyone in the group training is supportive regardless of skill level. I feel encouraged when before I would feel defeated. The routines have not yet been the same which keeps every workout interesting and a challenge. I feel her passion for fitness and want to return that energy in kind which is saying something as I do not particularly enjoy exercise. I wholeheartedly recommend Monterey Bay Moves.

It’s so cool to enjoy and look forward to working out with the app, even when traveling, when once I was intimidated by weights/strength training. Appreciate Elizabeth’s help on this journey!

I started taking yoga classes (Restorative Yoga on Mondays and Yoga Flow on Wednesdays) a few weeks ago and they have been seriously so amazing! I’m definitely a beginner when it comes to yoga, so I was nervous going into the classes. But Allison does a great job at walking you through the poses and details what to do so clearly that I don’t even have to look up/check to see what she’s doing! She also does a great job at offering modifications for all poses for people with injuries or who want an easier option. It’s been four weeks and I already feel more flexible, more strong, more present in my body. Every class is different, challenging, and rewarding. I come out of each one more confident in myself (body, mind, and soul)! Monterey Bay Moves is the best and I highly recommend attending their classes!!
