Who we are
Hi, I’m Maryann—founder of Peak Mind and Muscle. I’m a certified personal trainer (NASM) with a Master’s degree in Health, Physical Education, and Recreation, but more than that—I’m someone who’s been where you are.
Since 2017, I’ve lost over 100 pounds and completely reshaped my relationship with fitness. My journey has taken me through strength training, ultra-distance running, Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu, and the everyday adventure of raising two amazing kids. Along the way, I’ve gained valuable insight into how to support weight loss while preserving muscle—especially for those navigating medically supported approaches.
I started Peak Mind and Muscle to help others feel strong, capable, and supported—no matter where they’re starting. Whether you’re here for weight loss, strength, or simply to feel more at home in your body, I’m here to help guide that journey with science-backed plans and real-life empathy.
Are you on a GLP-1 Journey?
Maintaining muscle during a GLP-1 journey is essential—not just for strength and energy, but for preserving metabolism, long-term weight management, and overall health. While GLP-1s can be powerful tools for fat loss, studies show that a significant portion of weight lost can come from lean body mass if strength training and proper nutrition aren’t prioritized. That’s where Peak Mind and Muscle comes in. With science-backed programming tailored to support muscle retention, we help you lose weight the right way—protecting the strength you have while building the strength you want
