Marie Purvis

Portland, Or by way of the world

With over 11 years of professional and personal training experience, my work varies from motivating and working with professional athletes and celebrities like Serena Williams, Nick Symmonds, Shawn Johnson, Adrian Duran, Hope Solo, Sofia Boutella, Alexandra Burke, Gabby Douglas, Lakey Peterson, and Lea Michelle. I develop programs to help non-athletes lose weight and tone up and athletes to improve their performance. My unique expertise and well-rounded background positioned myself as the ideal trainer and developer for Nike Training Club’s diverse program. The NTC app was rated number 1 fitness app in 2011 and 2012, and has had over 9 million downloads and over 750,000 minutes used. She continues to develop new and innovated programs for the app to give people success and an experience they will never forget.

An enthusiastic, optimistic and easy-going person by nature, I have knack for motivating and challenging my clients, & I help them realize their potential. My main goal as a personal trainer is to provide a safe and effective program that’s challenging enough to make you excel in your sport or training, and enjoyable enough to carry on throughout your life. My training style is Functional Training, I believe that challenging the whole body will get results the fastest, and help develop everyday strength so my clients can live a healthy life.

Extending my training roles even further, I have written articles for seventeen.com, Self and Shape magazine. I have been featured as a fitness professional in many fitness magazines around the world educating readers about health and fitness. I have one of the most downloaded and used Beginner Marathon running programs worldwide. I have been able to help thousands of people around the world to reach their running and training goals. I present Nike Training Club to hundreds of people, I collaborate with Nike to help motivate and encourage athletes all over the world through Nike Women’s races, events, performances, and through our college experiences.

At the end of the day, I do what I love and I'm passionate about, which makes every day worth living!
