My name is Marty Harwood-Edes and I am in the business of empowering women of all ages and backgrounds. I am one Asheville's only in-home personal trainers with an advanced certification in weight training for women and a love of outdoor activity.
I have worked professionally in the outdoors leading groups (children, teens & adults) for more than 17 years.
I continually stay active in my community by running in local fundraisers and coaching for an after school run club as well as the Girls on the Run program. I teach a Health & Wellness, Wilderness Survival or Intro to Running class to middle school students at a local charter school and run their PE program for grades K-5. I am constantly looking for new ways to empower women and bring fitness-minded females together.
My philosophy for personal training is just that, personal. I come to you, your home, work, or favorite park. I bring the tools we'll need and together we'll design a program that works for your unique life. All you have to bring are the shoes!
I have had my own struggles with weight and fitness in the past. I've learned to overcome them and achieve my healthy goal weight. I am way more than a traditional trainer because I know firsthand what it takes to create change. I believe we need to take a holistic approach to your fitness that includes cardio, resistance, stretching, as well as lifestyle changes, nutrition, and a connection to the environment. We'll start small and work up to a do-able long-term lifestyle that should leave you lean and healthy.
If you crave a change for your body, I can help you achieve it!
