Testimonials
"When I turned 50 and still had not achieved my health and fitness goals, I realized I needed more. Duanita has been my "more". I tend to get caught up in daily life and don't attend to self-care; my regular appointments with Duanita have helped me focus on my health. She is my accountability partner, nutritionist, coach, and friend. My goals are to build muscle, eat healthy, increase my metabolism, and feel good. My regular appointments with Duanita has changed my habits and given me confidence and strength. She knows when to push me and when to offer grace. Duanita is expert at asking questions and listening, noticing needs, developing excellent, individualized workout programs, and providing helpful feedback. She has helped me identify goals and work to achieve them. I have lost 20 pounds and gained muscle, strength, and confidence through her training. More importantly, I feel good about myself. Working with Duanita has been transformational for me. I have worked with other trainers, but always felt unheard; just another client. Not with Duanita. She cares about my health and well being. I intend to work with her forever. I highly recommend her."

"I have been working with Mature Fit and Fabulous Trainer, Duanita Norman all of 2023.
In January, like everyone else, I was excited for a better workout routine. It's almost December, I am physically stronger and most proud of my core strength and balance.
The workouts were consistent, intense and incrementally challenging. As time went on my sisters joined. Duanita was open to training all of us in the same session! I got in shape while seeing my sisters in MD and NC twice a week!
Best experience ever!"

Duanita was recommended to me by another trainer who said she was “one of the best he’d ever worked with” and he had total confidence in her ability to help me. At that time, I needed to lose some weight, work on my balance, and get some assistance with nutrition. I was reaching middle age where I would really benefit from learning to eat healthier.
Duanita has been a blessing! She is knowledgeable about fitness and nutrition. She gets to know you, your body, your goals, and your fitness level. She creates well rounded workouts, and adjusts exercises as needed. Also, she incorporates talking about your nutritional habits and makes suggestions.
I would recommend Duanita to anyone who wants to improve their level of fitness and incorporate healthy eating habits. She’s honest, encouraging, easy to work with, and has a vast knowledge of her profession. Highly recommend!

" When I came to Duanita I just wanted to get fit and ensure I was aging well. She was so welcoming and understood my concerns and came up with a training and nutrition program that met my needs. I had tried other gyms and trainers but they were very concerned with making me into an athlete, I am an older adult who just wants to make sure I don’t come apart as I age. Duanita was the only one who listened to my needs not her own agenda. She is also the most positive person I know, when I think I can’t she always insists I can !!!!!
My life is truly been changed ever since I started to train with Duanita. Absolutely life changing !!!!"

Duanita is an amazing trainer and an even more amazing person. She thoughtfully planned for each minute of the sessions (there were no waste of time fillers)! I wasn’t new to working out but I had never worked with a personal trainer. Each workout included the perfect mixture of cardio, strength, stability, and abs. Duanita was able to encourage and motivate me to push harder each session and each week, and she also emphasized the importance of proper technique, drinking water and nutrition. Throughout the day I can hear her asking, “Are your abs tight? “For the first time, I have actually started to see muscle definition in my shoulders and arms! This has been a great experience and by far the best money I’ve ever spent on caring for myself. Highly recommend!

Feeling stronger and healthier motivates me to live life more fully. My strength training workouts with Duanita have been a game changer for me. Most notably, my back and core strength has increased substantially-leading to more ease and enjoyment during things I love to do. I can load my kayak on and off of the roof of my car solo without struggling. I meditate for longer periods of time without back pain. Both of these are a result of training with Duanita.
