Marlee Marallo, RN, NTW Fitness Instructor and
Exercise Enthusiast

"My name is Marlee and I am a graduate from the University of Albuquerque in New Mexicowith a degree in nursing.  I am actively working for Baptist Health care in Gulf Breeze.  I have seen a lot of illness and disease in my 30 year career as a Registered Nurse.  Exercise and diet are the most important parts of preventing disease.

I learned about nutrition from my dad when I was young girl. He grew up with 9 brothers and sisters, his Dad was killed at any early age and his mother spoke Italian only and they were poor.

At the age of 14 my dad had to quit school and go to work. Money for groceries was limited and they tended their own garden.  So he knew how important it was to “eat right” to stay healthy.

I struggled with my weight as a young girl, so dieting and exercising had to became a part of my life.

In the past 15 years I have educated myself more about Nutrition and Health.  The benefits are overwhelming.  Just think how good you would feel with increasing levels of energy, decreasing feelings of depression, an enhanced immune system , and maintaining a healthy weight!

I currently teach Yoga and am a Fit in 5 Instructor.  My goal in life it to share what I have learned about great health and to make a difference in the quality of peoples lives!"

CJ DePalma, cPT, NTW Fitness Trainer

 

"As I have trained for baseball throughout my life, I have learned very much of the fitness and nutrition world. Playing baseball throughout high school and in college has made my main focus in life to stay healthy and fit. In my own diet and workout programs, I always watch what I eat and I try to train seven days a week with a mix of cardio, weights, and yoga.
I have now finished my freshman year in college where I am majoring in Exercise Science and plan to be a strength and conditioning coach in the future. My goal in being your Trainer is that we, together, can accomplish your goals and help you get the body you want. Even more important than that, getting in shape will help you feel better and be more energetic throughout your everyday life.  Let me help get you there!"                                                -CJ

I have been around fitness my entire life due to the fact that my dad was a weight lifter and competed in many of the local competitions held here on our Gulf Coast. I was brought up with a certain knowledge and understanding of how to eat and train right. I myself love to work out, and my routine varies within 6 to 7 days a week.
