“My weight training regimen with Emile at SMX is tailored to my needs and my busy schedule.  Whether I am at a point where I really want to push myself and build more muscle or maintain the status quo, my trainer always works with my plan and motivates me.  My trainer and I work together for two 30 minute sessions per week.  It is easy to fit these sessions into my schedule, and working with a professional and friendly trainer sets the perfect tone that has kept me coming back for over 14 years.”

I have been working with Emile Tujague III for 15 years.  Emile is exceptionally accomplished, dedicated and knowledgeable in the form of exercise called slow training. 
 I am a very busy professional and the 30 minute a week strength training sessions allow me to be toned and fit in the least amount of time.  Emile makes exercise fun and I enjoy working with him. He is an expert in his field and very warm and personable. I can’t recommend Emile highly enough.

for all ages….young, medium and those past medium. He is cautious when caution is called for and pushes when it is difficult for a client to push themselves. Emile has good judgment, good sense and good moves….we are happy to be the beneficiaries of his many talents

Marie Anne has been my trainer for more than five years. Over this time there has been many changes in my life and I feel she and SMX have been an increasingly positive part of my journey. She is consistent in her positive and disciplined nature which helps me achieve goals I could not imagine. She offers kind and caring encouragement and sets a standard for living that is inspiring to me.

I’ve enjoyed the benefits of Marie Anne’s skillful training for over 8 years.  Thanks to her, I’m  stronger than ever, in spite of my advancing age. Marie Anne manages just the right amount of push to keep me challenged and encouragement to keep me motivated. She’s also thoughtful and skilled at fitting the training to the individual.  In my case, her training has been therapeutic for my lower back issues.   Friendly,  warm and easy going, Marie Anne is a pleasure to work with.

I have worked out with Marie Ann since 1998 and for 10 years at the current facility utilizing slow motion exercise. I rarely miss my 30 minute weekly session! She has worked with me through various injuries as well as after serious illness helping me to recover my strength.

The exercise helps me to feel really strong! As a result, my other workouts and exercises are easier and I feel less prone to injury. As a woman over fifty, the strength building is imperative to maintain strong bones. I love the power it gives me!

I have been training with Marieanne Delourme since early 2006 and the slow method has helped me develop new strength and discipline to attempt other programs such as yoga.
Marieanne brings 25 years of experience and a wealth of knowledge about nutrition, the science of exercise, performance to each session. Staying strong is essential to living strong and 
through her guidance and training I have developed new energy and confidence.  Thank you Marieanne!

Hello.  I am happy to tell you how happy I am with my SMX trainer, Marie-Anne Dourme.  Marie-Anne makes my 30 minutes at SMX each week fun and interesting.  I can’t say it is pain free, of course, but she helps me stay focused on why I’m pushing myself and “feeling the burn!”  Marie-Anne is a careful and thoughtful trainer, and she has an engaging personality which makes me look forward to my weekly sessions with her.  I recommend Marie-Anne highly!
