Mare Petras is a 28-year certified fitness expert, life coach and professional speaker. Internationally known as the "fitness fairy-godmother for real people everywhere," she is the author of two Fitness Simply books: Tone Up With Wine & Other Fun Fit Tips and The 7 Habits of Highly Successful Swimsuit Shoppers. Mare speaks to organizations who want to 'banish the bloat' by helping their people look and feel their very best.

Here are some interesting facts about Mare:

  • She is the former premiere personal trainer for Washington D.C.'s social/political elite
  • She is a life coach with training from Coach U, The Coaches Training Institute, Authentic Happiness Positive Psychology Coaching, Coachville and Franklin/Covey Leadership Programs
  • She is the Keep It Simple Sweetie editor for Balance magazine and a contributing editor for Sarasota Herald Tribune's Healthy Supplement magazine, and

A few fun facts about Mare:

  • She worked out Arnold Schwartzenegger.
  • She helped organize the "Great American Workout" on the Whitehouse lawn with President's Council on Physical Fitness & Sports.
  • Ran with (well, behind) President Clinton in a media opportunity for the Nation's Capital Affiliate of the American Heart Association where she served 10 years on the Board of Directors
  • "Lots of pain, little gain!" She starred in a photo shoot for The Washington Post magazine holding a pose at the ballet barre for 2 hours.
  • Biked Scandinavia - one month, 1000 miles!

Mare calls herself an 'exterior' refiner who's been through all the fads and extremes and now lives her simple, balanced approach to fitness in life.

Her mantra? "Set yourself free! EnJOY your body; enJOY your life; every minute, every day!"
