MaryEllen was the perfect person to interview for an article on recharging and refocusing. She was thoughtful in customizing her expertise and advice for our hospitality readers, ensuring that tips were realistic for their hectic, on-the-go lifestyle. I would welcome the opportunity to partner with her again.
“Thank you for that session. I have been feeling lighter and have been putting myself first and focusing on my day to day goals/tasks. It has been an amazing turnaround after speaking with you. I really enjoyed your energy and thank you for shedding such a positive light and being who you are and all that you do. Thank you. Thank you. Thank you.”
“I was initially skeptical about how helpful a life coach might be, but working with MaryEllen the past 4 years has been really beneficial. She has helped me to focus on important issues and is willing to tackle anything. She is supportive without ever being critical or judgmental. MaryEllen's upbeat personality is an added bonus to her professional skillset, she is a pleasure to work with.”
“I've had the pleasure of being coached by MaryEllen (Meg) Giombetti. Meg has a warm and encouraging way of bringing out your best. She makes me feel that I can achieve anything I put my mind to. This is empowering and energizing. She also is detailed in the way she follows up which is helpful in keeping me focused on my goals. Thank you for the partnership and the accountability as it will have a long-lasting impact.”
“For Microsoft’s celebration of International Women’s Day in New England this March, the members of our Women’s Employee Resource Group (ERG) were treated to a virtual coaching session with MaryEllen on how to gain strategies and plans to improve their mood, energy, and relationships. Empowering women and offering programs to support mental and physical well-being is important to Microsoft New England. With staff working at home more, our ERG wanted to help our employees reduce their risk of burnout and MaryEllen was the perfect speaker to offer solutions. “
“MEG has worked with our Northeast Region staff at Microsoft Corporation as both a fitness instructor and wellness coach. MEG has inspired our employees to think about the importance of wellness in both mind and body. She truly makes working out fun while providing skills to improve our overall health, especially while we work from home. Thank you MEG for helping empower Microsoft employees to get fit.”
“What sets MaryEllen apart from her peers in the wellness space is that she is whole-heartedly committed to inclusivity, diversity and body positivity. She understands the diverse range of individuals who make up a corporate culture, and ensures that no matter their age, background or level that they will leave with a smile. There is no alternative to the enthusiasm she brings for a true team-building experience for corporate culture wellness.”
“I began participating in MaryEllen's classes about five years ago. I had not been getting much exercise, and began noticing my lack of endurance, and problems with balance. I was winded after the first class, but by the second class, I began to see an improvement in my stamina, and feeling of wellbeing. After a few months, I began to notice that my sense of balance, both during exercises, and in my daily life had improved, and I felt a sense of accomplishment. After five years, I still look forward to her classes. MaryEllen always makes each session fly by. She encourages her students to do what feels right for them, whether it is to modify, or to challenge oneself. MaryEllen shows an interest in all of her students, and cares for each one of them. She wants to be sure that they are getting the most from each workout, and are doing each move correctly, so as not to hurt themselves. No matter how I am feeling when I begin each class, by the end of each one I always feel better, both physically and emotionally. MaryEllen's positivity and encouragement, even virtually, has helped me get through the past 10 months. I would recommend participating in any of her services, whether it be fitness, wellness or both!”
“I have had the pleasure of working with Meg since April of 2020 through group classes and one-on-one coaching. She is always thoughtful and insightful about helping me to meet my fitness goals, while also paying attention to my emotional and mental health. Meg's approach is to treat health holistically. She wants you to be healthy in all ways—mind, body and spirit. My sessions with Meg are always challenging and fun. Her energy and enthusiasm are contagious, and I often find myself smiling and laughing even while sweating and working hard. She is a fitness coach, friend and sage advice giver all at once!”
“When it comes to health and fitness, my typical approach has been to go all in at once, often resulting in a fantastic start soon to be followed by a fantastic burn out. Meg coached me to make a series of smaller but still impactful changes across multiple aspects of my life while providing support and accountability. Over the last three months, these changes have added up and I have met a number of my longer term goals - decreasing my caffeine intake, consistently exercising , being more mindful about when and what I am eating and continually striving to find more balance in my overall life. I still have plenty of work to do but I am better positioned than I’ve ever been to meet my goals and am confident I will get there.”
“Sounds dramatic, but you very well could have saved my heart/brain/soul the past seven months or so. For that I shall e’er be grateful. I LOVE your workouts and have seen such a change in my body, one I didn’t think possible with 30 minute workouts that don’t leave me wanting to throw up or unable to climb stairs for days. That I can be kind to my body (and mind) while challenging it and making it stronger is EVERYTHING. You are living your life with power, intention, kindness and service - I will always support that journey.”
“I have had the pleasure and benefit to have been coached by MaryEllen for many years now. MaryEllen has coached and guided me in terms of my overall health and well-being—not just my fitness level. As a senior executive in a Fortune 100 company with three children, my work and personal schedules are extremely hectic with very little downtime. I would not be able to do what I do, as successfully, if it wasn’t for MaryEllen. She has guided me on nutrition, fitness, stress reduction, and mental well-being. At the same time she has set goals for me to keep me motivated and striving to improve on my overall personal objectives. MaryEllen is one of the most authentic people you would ever want to meet. She is authentic in the way she leads her own life and is clearly authentic in the way she looks after her clients; and coaches and guides them to a greatly improved overall well-being.”
“As a division 1 athlete, I was always very fit. After fracturing my foot, I stopped working out. I hadn’t been in a gym for more than 4 years, when I hired MaryEllen. As a PGA golf professional, my swing and fitness are very important to me. MaryEllen has given me golf specific workouts that help my overall strength, specifically targeting my core. Working out with MaryEllen is a blast. Not only is she a great trainer, she is truthfully a friend that is very easy to talk to, making your workout more enjoyable."
“Your enthusiasm and joy in what you do shows every day. You EMPOWER your clients to do their best and help us to recognize that we can do more. I love your passion, your ability to laugh at yourself, and that you take what you do seriously but don't take yourself seriously. You and your programs have been life changing!”
“What you share - it’s enlightening. I like to hear about different perspectives and experiences. Even when something doesn’t immediately resonate with me, I realize later that it actually does. You have a way of making things really stick. Things that I’ve learned from tips and practices you’ve shared will pop back up and get me thinking differently about things. I really appreciate that.”
“When I first decided to take your class, I didn't know if I would be capable to keep up & do the exercises. I was happy when you had a class for people 50 and over, it gave me a chance to see what my limits are. Well I'm so glad I did, you showed us that we could do the classes and showed us modification to exercises and still get a great workout. Your coaching gave me the confidence to try other classes that you offered and I thank you for your motivation and energy you bring to your classes to make it fun.”
“For me, working out was about taking back my life and feeling better about myself. Hiring a trainer was a way for me not to have to think about so much of the process. MaryEllen takes a special interest in your well being. She is constantly changing up the workouts so that it stays fresh. Her attitude during the workout is always positive and enthusiastic and is often followed up with emails to provide further encouragement or support. Her focus goes beyond the workouts as she takes special care to assist with finding a better food balance. Now, with MaryEllen, I’m not only thinking about the process, I’m working hard at it and enjoying it. I’m certainly getting my life back!!”
“I had a chance to be coached by MaryEllen and I must say I had the best results working with her. I lost more than 30 pounds following her diet and workout instructions. I love her sessions and the support she gives. One good thing I have always liked about MaryEllen is her enthusiasm and willingness to help her clients reach their goals.”
