Route of Healthy Living: Reviews
Fantastic experience: I've been working with Donny for 3 years now, and his vast knowledge of the human body, muscle groups, and training techniques never cease to amaze. His attitude to training and positive energy always make me happy to come in for another session!
Wow, Incredible! We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience with all of us here. We love having you inside the studio but even more watching you get stronger by the session. Keep on inspiring those afar & near esp other family members, way to go!
Fantastic experience: In the Summer of 2023 , I was diagnosed with a pre diabetic A1C level. My doctor recommended I consult a nutritionist, lose some weight and increase my exercise routine. At that time, I was attending a Boot Camp class (mostly cardio) 2-3 times per week. Despite exercising , I was overweight and had a high BMI for my age, height and weight. These findings gave me a "wake up call!" I realized my approach to leading a healthier lifestyle needed to include changing several things! In October of 2023, I reached out to Marisa at Route of Healthy Living, for personal training. Training one on one with Marisa taught me many things, such as proper water intake, correct exercise form, and most importantly macro counting, also choosing healthy foods, proper portions and supplements. Currently, my A1C has dropped to a lower non pre diabetic number. My weight and visceral fat body composition has also improved tremendously!! Marisa's support, encouragement and overall positive energy has paved the way to a healthier and stronger life for me! There is no trainer that can compare to her dedication and expertise helping her clients. I am so glad I reached out and am looking forward to continuing my journey with Marisa in 2025!! Ana G.- NJ
Woah! What an awesome year you had! You’ve proven it doesn’t matter your age but it matters the efforts of work you choose to put in will than indicate results! You should be so proud. We are of you and are honored to be apart of your ROUTE!! Thank you Ana for CHOOSING Route of Healthy Living and prioritizing your health !
Fantastic experience: I have been to Donny at Route of Heathy Living for over 3 years. I started looking for a new place after the pandemic that offered customized personal training and that’s exactly what I got and more from Donny. He is truly an expert in his field and an absolute pleasure to work with every week. What I love most about Donny is his flexibility. I can go to him on the morning of a session and say I want to work on something and he changes my routine on the fly to help me achieve my goals. And because of his great knowledge of nutrition, I can also connect with him on diet advice. He and Marisa are so dedicated and committed to their clients and I love seeing them every week with a smile on their face and their positive attitude.
Thank you so much Deb for sharing your experience with us inside the Fitness Studio! We too look forward to each session with you and appreciate how you continue to show up willing to work!! Keep up the great work in ALL that you do. Both in and out of the studio :)
Fantastic experience: This community is full of support, encouragement, education, and understanding coaches and members. Marissa and Donny lead by example and want to share all of their expertise in hopes it will help others achieve their health and wellness goals!
Thank you so much Alicia for sharing your experience with the Healthy Route Community here via Facebook! We love having you apart of there as well as inside the fitness studio. Continue working hard and all your efforts will continue to pay off!
Fantastic experience: We have been with the Route of Healthy Living for years now. They do so much for their health and fitness community. The transformation challenges are a fun way to push everyone to get into the game and create a lifestyle and not just a quick couple week fitness change. They help you create goals and stick to them long term! If you find yourself wanting to check them out, definitely make an appointment to see them at their studio and check out the InBody scan! It’s a scale but 1000% better. If gives you readings of everything in your body from body fat% in certain areas or specific body parts, to your muscle weight and even your percentage of water. It’s a pretty cool system! My wife and I spent 2 hours there the other day talking about our scans in depth. Donny and Marisa take the time to be so knowledgeable about everything they do and everything they offer, and if they don’t know the answer to a question, they don’t BS you, they’ll find the answer for you and get back to you asap! I highly recommend them for anything health and fitness!
Thank you Both Amanda and Albie! We love seeing a power couple living the healthy life, the SUSTAINABLE WAY. You both have shown how to ditch the scale and build habits to make your health for both individually but as your family grows too! Continue working hard and living each day as you become a better healthier version of YOU!
Fantastic experience: Route of Healthy Living, led by Marissa and Donny, has quite literally transformed my life. I began working with them about a year ago, primarily with Donny for training and nutrition, while Marissa provided nutritional consulting through their app. The results have been nothing short of extraordinary. In just 6 months, I lost 20 lbs and my body fat percentage dropped from 20% to 9%. I gained lean muscle and, more importantly, I gained knowledge. Donny and Marissa taught me how to truly fuel my body, what foods to eat, and how to think about nutrition in a way that allowed me to build sustainable, healthy habits. Their approach goes far beyond just "exercise and nutrition." They've reshaped my entire perspective on health and lifestyle. Through their guidance, I learned proper strength training techniques that I can now continue on my own. At 40, I'm in the best shape of my life. My energy levels are through the roof, my sleep has improved dramatically, and I feel absolutely amazing. Route of Healthy Living doesn't just change bodies; they change lives. If you're looking for a holistic approach to health that delivers real, lasting results, I cannot recommend Marissa and Donny highly enough. They've given me the tools and knowledge to maintain a healthy lifestyle for years to come. This isn't just a service; it's a life-changing experience.
Phil, We Thank YOU so much for taking the time to share your experience with all of us here! We may have the tools to help you succeed but you are the one who put in all the hard earned efforts both in AND out of the gym which is exactly how you were able to get the results in which you did. It’s amazing what can happen with a solid year of workouts, prioritizing protein, steps, sleep, water (to name a few) how you life can completely change. Keep working hard and leading from the front of your family pack. We love your commitment to your health and your body thanks you too!!
Fantastic experience: WOW WOW...where do I begin? I absolutely LOVE LOVE Route of Healthy Living. Marissa, Donny and my Trainer Jen are incredibly amazing!!!! I've learnt so much about nutrition, posture, discipline and commitment. Not only my physical strength and endurance has increased but I'm mentally stronger too. I used to give up so easily when working out but now I am able to push myself and not get in my head that easily. So thank you Jen for helping me throughout this process (i can now also remember to breathe through an exercise haha) and Marissa, your constant follow ups and helping with Nutrition and just checking in on me were also extremely helpful and motivating. Thanks to you my morning coffee is so much better. Thank you Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
Martha! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience in and out of the fitness studio!
Always room for improvements and you’ve learn just that! So much still to learn continue to make your health a priority and watch yourself achieve everything you put your mind too and breath haha. COFFEE CHEERS!!
Fantastic experience: I have only been working out with Marisa for a few months but I have seen great results. My overall fitness has improved and I have learned a lot about nutrition and eating healthy in a sustainable way. I highly recommend training with Marisa and Donny!
Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! You’ve proven when you put in the effort & work, results speak! We are so happy you choose the Route of Healthy Living!
Fantastic experience: Great place to get inspiration from real stories and real people making the same changes you are. Tips and advice and just hearing what is working (or not working) for some people - is welcoming. ❤️
& to our TOP TransPHORMer of the NY 2024 Challenge, results earned never given! Continue to work hard, all the work pays off! Thanks for choosing us as your advisors and team healthy living :)
Fantastic experience: Marisa and Donny have been instrumental in helping me revamp my diet and eating habits, lose weight, sleep better, and feel (and look) better!! Working one on one with Marisa via the 1st phorm app has been like having a personal cheerleader who consistently meets me where I am at; she has helped me create sustainable habits to live a healthier lifestyle. I have now completed 2 challenges, and I am looking forward to the next one in 2024! If you are thinking about taking the leap to improve your health, feel better, and look better, do it!! I was nervous at first (not knowing what to expect) but I cannot recommend working with Marisa and Donny enough; they have been supportive through every step of the way!
Wow Alyssa! We cannot thank YOU enough for choosing us as your advisors inside the best fitness app but also making health a priority despite how busy your life may be! She forgot to mention she was our Top TransPHORMer of Team healthyliving last challenge ;) #sweatingforthewedding!! heres to the best year ever....2024!!!! let's keep it going
Fantastic experience: Where to start. I have struggled with my weight all my life, even if i was not overweight during my prime as an athlete. Getting older includes less activity and more social drinking which packs on the unwanted pounds. When I finally chose to commit to myself, Marisa and Donny were the accountability I needed to keep myself going. In January it will be 2 years working with them both on this health and fitness journey and I can not thank them enough for not giving up on me even when I was ready to give up on myself. 30 pounds gone forever the slow and sustainable way and I am not done yet.
Hi Rachael, We appreciate you taking your time but even more so appreciate you and your commitment for your HEALTH. As you mentioned, it won't get easier as we get older, so having the habits to help you continue to sustain a healthy life is THE way! Here's to a 3rd year of habit building and zero option mentality!!
Fantastic experience: I had the awesome opportunity to train with Marisa for two months, and I'm seriously impressed with the results I've achieved in terms of my body and strength. Marisa's patience and professionalism really shine through as she guides you with clear instructions, and I've learned so much about fitness and nutrition along the way. If you're in need of a top-notch trainer, don't think twice about reaching out to them!
Hi Wang! Wow what an incredible review you had taken the time to post and share. We greatly enjoyed the time in which we had with you! Always here for you for your health & fitness goals.
Fantastic experience: Marisa and Donny are great they are very hands on very knowledgeable. You will see results if you hire them as your trainer. I’m toning up pretty nicely and they also provide alot of nutrition education and exercise tips which is very helpful. Definitely recommend people give their business a try .
Hi Mattie! Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with others here. We are honored to be apart of your ROUTE as you choose to live a healthy lifestyle while crushing your health & fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: In July I thought I was signing up for a challenge where I would learn another “dieting” plan. Boy was I wrong. Donny and Marissa educate and teach how to live a sustainable way of healthy living. I signed up in hopes to just learn a little to help aide in my goal of running a marathon in November. It is now December…I ran that marathon and have lost over 30 pounds and never once felt deprived, angry, or restricted with my nutrition. I highly recommend Donny and Marissa if you need help or want to LEARN more about nutrition and living a healthier life. My only regret is that I didn’t start sooner with them! NOTE: I also thought it was going to be all about weight loss! NOPE! It is about education in nutrition and helping you become a better version of yourself! (Fat loss just happens to happen when you start making those positive changes☺️) I swear I can’t say enough about Marissa, Donny and Route of Healthy Living LLV. You will not be disappointed
Fantastic experience: I have been training with Donny twice a week for over a year and I wish I started sooner! Donny is an extremely knowledgeable expert. He is so motivating and I am thrilled with how much I have learned and achieved. He clearly explains/demonstrates everything and thoughtful plans my workouts to help me achieve my goals safely and effectively. Donny and Marisa are a dynamic duo! They have created such a wonderful community. Their energy and excitement for healthy living is contagious. I am so grateful to have found them!
Fantastic experience: One of the best things I can say about Marisa and Donny is just how personable they are. No matter the question or comment they always talk at a level you can understand. Especially if you’re new to fitness. They’re available crazy hours of the day and always get back to you asap. Ive used them for fitness help, nutrition help, and massage and I got to tell you, they’re aces at all aspects. I would definitely recommend the Route of Healthy Living to anyone who wants to jump into the fitness game!
Fantastic experience: I have been a client with Marissa for over quite a few years. She is a part of my self care and recovery routine. Marissa is hands down the best massage therapist I have been too. She has a way of figuring out just what your body needs at each visit whether it be just her deep tissue massage techniques or adding on cupping and other tools to help work through stress in the body. Regular visits with her keep me pushing hard in the gym allowing me to relieve my stress and stay fit. Over the last year I also enlisted Donny and Marissa’s help with getting healthier and leaning out with there 1:1 nutrition coaching. I managed to drop almost 12 pounds and lean out inches in the last 3 months even through vacations and holidays. Marissa is so insightful and offers up such good advice. She totally makes me be a better version of myself.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Marisa & Donny for a few years now and I honestly can’t say enough about how much they have helped me. They are both so knowledgeable and helpful. From challenges to nutrition to exercise and also just overall general health information and expertise. They have changed my life for better in so many ways. You will not be disappointed when you give them a chance. They feel like family.
Fantastic experience: They are amazing, knowledgeable and giving! Their energy they exude is catching.
Fantastic experience: Donny is without a doubt one of the most positive people I have ever met. I could tell within the first few minutes of our initial consultation that he was someone I wanted to work with. His program has been refined and perfected over time in an almost comical way. It seemed like many weeks I’d have a question or two and coincidentally it lined up with that weeks lesson. I look forward to working with Donny again in the future.
Fantastic experience: When I decided to invest in the nutrition program, I assumed I would get a meal plan and someone would tell me what to eat. This program is so much more than that, you learn so much about your body, what is needs and how to fuel it properly that you WANT to make changes to your diet and lifestyle. I know if I have a bad day or bad week, I now have the knowledge and tools to get myself back on track without feeling like a chore or a “diet”. So thankful for this team and all their knowledge!
Fantastic experience: I have had the absolute pleasure of working with both Donny (nutrition) and Marisa (personal training & nutrition). They are both fantastic. If you want to learn how to become a healthier version of your current self, I recommend signing up. They are fun, knowledgeable and very approachable. They will change your life!
Lindsay, Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience with us. You are a coachable, determined, HEALTHY individual and we are honored to be apart of your Route. Thank you for choosing the Route of Healthy Living.
Fantastic experience: Donny and Marisa are an amazing team. I would recommend them to anyone looking to get a handle on their health. I love their program because it is all based on REAL food, and you learn all the "why's" behind what to eat. Absolutely amazing!
Fantastic experience: Marisa and Donny are both great and they taught me so much! I have joint problems and tendinitis and they were super knowledgeable about how to strengthen my muscles without injuring my joints.
Thank you Carter for taking the time to leave a review here and share your experience working with us while you were home. See you in the online wellness community and let’s continue your exercise while limited that joint pain!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Marissa has been top notch! Incredibly knowledgeable and professional--I would highly recommend Route of Healthy Living!
Fantastic experience: I love working out with Marisaa and Donny! My workout is totally tailored to my needs and Marissa is a great coach.
Thank you Jennifer for taking the time to leave us a review and share your experience with on site training at Route of Healthy Living! We love the times that you commitment yourself to show up at the training studio. Keep it up!
Fantastic experience: I started going to Marisa because she was highly recommended to me for a sports massage I live in Easton PA so it was a far drive but once I started seeing her my body immensely felt better she pin pointed my problem areas and goes down to the root of the problem and explains ways I can prevent each area from getting tight and stiff giving me detailed advice along the way for longevity of massage benefits and things I can do in between visits. Marisa is extremely knowledgable, cheerful and completely worthwhile I couldn't recommend her enough!
Karolina! Thank you so much for taking the time to share with the world your experience you had with Marisa and your massage session(s). We thank you for your continued support, but more importantly thankful for your commitment to your health and recovery. Thank you for CHOOSING the Route of Healthy Living for your relaxation & relief needs.
Fantastic experience: I have been working with Donny for almost 18 months. He has been a great encourager for me while challenging me to get stronger through his workouts. He designs each session to have a full body workout every week, all while keeping it fun. His positive energy, deep anatomy and nutrition knowledge, and support have been a pleasure for my to continue my journey. I have also seen Marissa work through her sessions and she also brings great knowledge and energy to her clients. They’re dedicated to their Route of Healthy Living journey and want to help each and every client achieve their goals. I highly recommend clients to start their journey with either of them!!!!!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been following Marissa on IG for almost 2 years. She’s always been quick to respond to any questions I have and very informative. She’s not salesy and has never been pushy to buy anything, which is the first for me. I recently joined their online Facebook wellness community and its FULL of amazing information.
Hi Amber! Thank you for taking the time to share with us and the rest of the world your thoughts on Route of Healthy Living! We are so happy to be apart of your journey !! Always learning, always growing. Striving for Sustainable Success
Fantastic experience: Working out with Marisa has become the highlight of my week! She is patient, knowledgable and motivating. Both Marisa and Donny's knowledge and experience shines through consistently. Reach out to them, you won't regret it!
Fantastic experience: Marisa is very helpful, kind, patient and knowledgeable! Most importantly she cares and wants you to succeed to live a sustainable, healthy lifestyle! For the 6 month online nutrition program she helped to bridge the “virtual gap” by staying in great contact with me as well as by providing me with supportive resources/documents to get started right away. Questions were always answered quickly but thoroughly. If you are looking to learn more about nutrition and make positive changes in your life, Marisa’s the girl you want in your corner!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been going to Marisa for 90 minute sessions regularly for a while now. She pays close attention to detail and bases the massage/cupping on what your body needs at any given time, rather than the typical once over other masseuses offer. It’s a much more therapeutic approach than other places I have gone. Plus you’ll probably learn something in the process as she is very knowledgeable, not only in massage but overall training, diet and recovery.
John, Thank you for taking the time for sharing your experience as you continue to work with Marisa and make your body a priority mentally AND physically !
Fantastic experience: Words can never do it justice
Fantastic experience: Donny and Marisa were PHENOMENAL! I was in Basking Ridge for only 2 months and was looking for a personal trainer who could fit my needs. Donny and Marisa exceeded all of them. They were willing to take me on as a client for those 2 months and my workouts have gotten so much better and productive! Not only are they personal trainers, but great educators as well. I primarily trained with Donny, but both of them are amazing. It is very intimate 1:1 setting and they tailor each session to fit your exact goals and needs. I can confidently say I am so much more intelligent now when I walk into a gym on my own than I ever was before. Between injury prevention, nutrition, muscle growth and strength building, I learned it all from them. Donny and Marisa have also written up a workout schedule for me take to any gym and continue on my own, as well as give great nutrition and lifestyle advice! They are so amazing and what they do and I couldn’t recommend them enough to anyone who is struggling to workout or find a routine/regime that works for them. I never thought in a million years I’d look forward to 7am workouts twice a week until now. Thank you!
Wow Christian! We enjoyed this review as much as we enjoyed seeing you in the mornings as you showed up and left all excuses behind. Way to go! Still so much to learn, but so happy to be able to be apart of your jumpstart journey in the official first two months. Keep up all the great gains and hard work!
Fantastic experience: Cozy, warm and professional setting. Started with the appropriate intake form. Then I expressed my needs for the session - it included stomach and chest massage, to which the therapist was honest upfront about not having enough training to perform abdominal work - so I knew going in that I would not have my abs worked on, however I still thoroughly enjoyed the overall experience and even returned back one more time, because the therapeutic value of the treatment was superb! Highly recommend.
Thank you for sharing your massage experience with us! Your body thanks you too!
Fantastic experience: I can’t recommend Route of Healthy Living enough! I have met all the trainers and they’re professional but also very friendly and easy to talk to. I train with Donny and he’s an incredible trainer. He has studied this field, knows what he’s talking about, and is a great teacher. I was always so sore after workouts but Donny has not only shown me proper form to avoid unnecessary pain, he has also helped me strengthen myself to avoid further injury. I’m a college student so money is tight sometimes, but these guys make sure your time with them is worth every penny! Definitely a worthwhile investment. Check em out!
Thank you Hannah for taking the time to share your experience with us and to those who may be interested in training but unsure if the investment is worth it! We appreciate you and your commitment. Continue to keep up the hard work in every aspect of your life including school, work and your training sessions!
Fantastic experience: Donny and Marisa run a first class operation! I truly look forward to my training sessions and appreciate the personalized workouts and extra attention that I receive. I highly recommend Route of Healthy Living.
Thank you Peter for sharing your experience inside the Training Studio! We can ensure that when you walk into the studio your session is customized based on to reach your desired fitness goals. We appreciate your commitment and hard work you’ve been putting in to every one of your training sessions!
Fantastic experience: While searching for a massage therapist that lived closer to me, I came across Marisa’s Route to Healthy Living. I took a chance and reached out to get information about setting up an appointment and I am SO GLAD I did!! Marisa was so sweet and professional and really made me feel comfortable and cared for. After a quick phone call consult (which I loved btw… how often do people actually call one another nowadays?) I made my appointment. I definitely appreciated her time and attention. Needless to say the massage was INCREDIBLE! The pressure was perfect and she addressed all my problem areas. I booked my second appointment immediately! Marisa’s knowledge and skill set helps set her apart from other therapists. I am so grateful to have found her! Highly recommended! Book an appointment with her ASAP!
Thank you Yvonne for taking the time to share your experience you had in and out of the massage studio! Your body appreciates you making it a priority just as much as we appreciate you !
Fantastic experience: I have have treated myself to many massages in the past year and all I can say is I never want to go to anyone else but Marisa . She is professional and has this amazing strength in her hands that works wonders. I am always impressed with her skills and knowledge about the human body . She listens to what your needs are and delivers everytime . Her studio is exceptionally clean and it is easy to relax and feel the stress disappear once you are treated to one of her massages.
Kim, thank you very much for sharing your experience inside the Massage Studio. Besides helping relieving pain and prevention of pain, having a clean and calm space is one of our top priorities. Thank you for continued to make your body a priority !
Fantastic experience: I have tried 2 other massage therapists in the flemington area before I found Marissa. There is just no comparison! Marissa is knowledgeable and explains thoroughly what muscle is having issues (before I even point it out!) and how she addresses the issue, she is firm/strong yet gentle. Besides being good at what she does, Marissa is just wonderful and makes you feel like a long time friend!! An excellent massage therapist that I would recommend to anyone!
Thank you very much Miriam for such kind and genuine words. As well as your honesty when it comes to finding the right therapist for you! We appreciate your continued support.
Fantastic experience: Simply the best! I had found Marisa through a referral/recommendation when I was dealing with some lower back pain and I’ve been going back every month since then. Not only do I feel incredible, but I’ve maintained better flexibility. Possibly the best quality-of-life decision I’ve ever made for myself. I offer my highest recommendation. Thank you!
Thank you Irene for taking the time to share with us your experience. Your body also thanks you for making it a priority every single month!
Fantastic experience: Donny and Marisa are excellent professionals. They are really good at what they are doing . I enjoyed fully my classes with them. Highly recommend
Thank you Delia for taking the time to leave your honest opinion !
Fantastic experience: I've been working with Meghan for the past 4 months and I've seen a tremendous improvement in my flexibility and strength! The program was tailored specifically to my needs and I am very pleased with my progress!
Fantastic experience: I started my personal training with Donny about 3 months back and I am extremely happy with his approach. Donny takes the time to understand the client needs and areas to work on and build’s a program based on it. He is very thoughtful with the program and plans the session ahead of time and is very attentive during the session. He even helped me build a home workout program. Overall, I am extremely happy and would def recommend to anyone.
Fantastic experience: I started working with Marisa for the 8 week challenge through 1st Phorm. My main expectation was to learn more about the food that I’m putting into my body in order to see better results for my wedding coming up in October. I wanted to look more toned, along with learn more about both my body and mind. I can say that I’ve done that and so much more within the 8 weeks! I’ve always had this negative connotation in my mind regarding carbs and I’ve finally been able to see results while eating nutrient dense foods to meet my macronutrients daily, including carbs! Marisa was always checking in with me weekly to see how I was feeling, offering tips and tricks and motivating me every step of the way! She’s a great coach!
Thank you Zoe! Thank you for allowing me to join your Fitness Route & choosing the Route of Healthy Living. The whole world of health and fitness cos filled with mis conceptions where you need to “diet”, deprive and cut carbs out of your life for example. When really it’s the complete opposite! You have learned a lot within these last 8 weeks and always something to learn, so keep on going...
Thanks for trusting the process, along with me through out YOUR journey Keep up the great work!
Fantastic experience: I started training with Meghan 5 months ago and am so happy to have found her!! Every session provides everything you want in a trainer- something new each time to keep it exciting, using equipment I don’t have and/or wouldn’t otherwise know what to do with, safely pushing me to give more effort than I knew I had in me, all while avoiding any injury, which is something I’ve struggled with when trying to do it on my own. I really appreciate that everything is explained so there’s always a well thought out “why” behind every move she has me make. Having a plan personally tailored to my specific goals was invaluable. The added bonus of having a private fully equipped gym makes it worth every penny! Besides the obvious COVID related advantages, it totally removed the normal workout self-consciousness that can come with funny faces, bizarre grunts, or shirts flipping up when you and your trainer have the whole place to yourself! All there is to worry about is surviving the workout
WOW Erin! What a nice review and choice of words to explain your experience inside of the fitness studio and having Meghan train you every step of the way. You work hard every single session while focusing on bettering each move and exercise once your taught. Keep it up! Thanks for choosing the Route of Healthy Living
Fantastic experience: I have gone to Marisa for massage for over a year and highly recommend her. I have regular neck pain and headaches. She understands how to get to the root of the problem and explains it thoroughly. She offers suggestions on what to do in between massages. She always works to accommodate my schedule (although I don’t recommend my approach which is last minute). So thankful to have found her!
Fantastic experience: There are not enough words to articulate the out of this world experience you get with Marisa and Donny! Whether it be personal training, massage, or nutrition - this power couple will provide you with an individualized plan to meet all of your wellness goals! Don't walk - run! Schedule your appointment today and watch your mind and body transform as these two set you up for healthy success!
Fantastic experience: Marissa is amazing. I started working with her in July bc I just wasn’t feeling good and doctors were not helping so I went to try a different route and it’s made all the difference. This is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE not a quick fad diet. I struggled mentally at first with only losing 2-3 sometimes 1 pounds a week but I kept at it and it’s working. Slowly but surely I’m feeling better eating for my body and losing weight. It’s not that quick 10 pounds in two weeks. It’s a slow steady process but I’m healthy and feel great and that’s what matters most. Her nutrition coaching is reasonable and doesn’t limit any food groups. You don’t have to go buy crazy ingredients either. It fits in all lifestyles whether you’re on a budget need tough love need support need to feel better or need something To kick start you. Marissa is amazing. This is such a doable life change and she even does group “challenges” which really is just like having a giant support system. It’s a short time period that really kick starts you or helps you over that plateau. If you’re inexperienced or experienced you’ll get something out of it. I just focused on nutrition and saw huge success. Definitely recommend.
Fantastic experience: Marisa is very supportive and works with your individual needs. She is always available and very professional. A very good leader !
Fantastic experience: There are not enough stars to give Marisa I have been battling my whole life and learned more from her in six weeks then in all the years of dieting. She is very knowledgeable and very motivating while keeping it real
Fantastic experience: I just finished with one of Marissa’s 6 week challenges. It was my first experience doing anything like this. I didn’t know what to expect when I first signed up but Marissa’s outline and plan I received after signing up was amazing. I got so much more out of the experience than I expected. Marissa is a great motivational leader, she gives you so much knowledge about health, nutrition and exercise and she doesn’t sugarcoat anything, she tells it like it is and she adds humor to the mix as well. I also learned a lot from the group of women in the challenge and gained a lot of support from them. It was definitely a positive experience, with tools I can continue to use on my health journey. I would definitely recommend Marissa to my friends and family. I look forward to her future challenges and her Facebook group. Thanks again, Marissa!
Fantastic experience: I did the red, white, & be fit with Marisa! She is super inspiring! My goal was to slim down in inches and feel better digestive and body wise! I achieved both! I lost inches and 9 pounds in 5 weeks so far but more importantly no stomach issues like usually and no headaches! She was always motivating and available to answer your questions at all times and being an all girls group made us come together and support each other in a great way! The diet was laid out so nice I was always full and want to make this a lifestyle change!
Fantastic experience: Professional experience with a family feel touch. Amazing during the pandemic with all the love and support
Fantastic experience: Honestly the best message therapy I have ever experienced. Marissa is an absolute maven in the industry, she knows exactly what to do to get you feeling your best and increasing your mobility. If you have an HSA it will work here! In addition Marissa takes the time to figure out what’s causing you pain and making sure it doesn’t come back or worsen, her caring approach is undeniable! A true 5 star professional experience I would rate high if I could! Do yourself a favor, if you experience lack of mobility or pain that you could be managing better she will help steer you in the right direction!
Fantastic experience: My experience with Marissa was amazing! Her studio is in a perfect location and easy to find. I immediately felt comfortable upon arriving and she explained everything prior to my service. We had a great convo during my massage/cupping which I usually never talk but Marissa was full of knowledge and I wanted to keep chatting! The services helped my back tremendously and I can't wait to go back. She also messaged me to follow up about how I felt after which was nice! Can't wait to return :)
Fantastic experience: Professional in every aspect with great enthusiasm. We have been clients for her services for 2 years. She is highly educated and experienced. We have a variety of special considerations for our backs she is able to accommodate. From fused lumbars, stress relief, to general back health maintenance and relaxation. I can attest to her high character and outstanding interpersonal skills. My 88yr old mother loves her massages!
Fantastic experience: Marisa is absolutely amazing!!! You will not regret getting work done from her.
Fantastic experience: We tend to put ourselves last all too often. When we do decide to treat ourselves we deserve the best professional experience. Not better way to thank yourself and your body than a massage with Marisa!
Fantastic experience: Marisa is an excellent massage therapist. Would highly recommend!!!
Fantastic experience: I have been seeing Marissa for a long time, since she started and have to say she is the best! I workout a lot and put my muscles through a lot and she knows how to hit them perfectly to keep them loose and moving! She’s is always adapting and learning her craft and has now added cupping therapy to her massage therapy. Very professional and keeps a relaxing atmosphere. If your looking for a massage and take some “me” time to relax the mind and body I highly recommend Marisa, you won’t be disappointed!
Fantastic experience: A massage from Marisa is BETTER than just 5 stars! Out of a 10 point rating I would easily give her a 100, if that we’re allowed!! I can’t speak highly enough of this young woman. She’s kind, passionate, and smart! Marisa loves what she does and truly does want to make a difference in your life. Go see Marisa and walk away with not only with a relaxed body, but with a relaxed mind and soul. She is just simply the best! How do I know? Well I’ve been to 3 different spas and seen 3 different people for massages, and they just don’t compare! Marisa is MAGICAL!
Fantastic experience: Marisa is an amazing massage therapist. She listens to her clients and really focuses in on problem areas. She goes above and beyond to ensure you are comfortable and relaxed. Location is very easy to get to and convenient. Highly recommend.
Fantastic experience: If you are looking for a knowledgeable, experienced and strong Massage Therapist then look no further - Marisa is the right person for you. Marisa quickly identified why my neck and shoulders where in pain and went to work. Not only did I feel better after one hour, I felt better for weeks afterwards. I highly recommend her!
Fantastic experience: I came to Marisa with a very stiff neck that was preventing me to workout and sleep. Within only one session she was able to help me. Marisa is extremely knowledgeable and knows what she’s doing. You can tell that this is her passion and she makes you feel very comfortable. I will most definitely be returning. She also offers a birthday special during your birthday month which is really great.
Fantastic experience: I've been going to Marisa for awhile when I'm either in some type of pain or just in need of a massage. She's extremely knowledgeable in what she does; gives me a lot of advice if a body part hurts and what I can do at home to help. I've also joined her New Years challenge; definitely has helped me stay in the right path. My last massage experience I actually fell asleep on the table because it was so relaxing!! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!
Fantastic experience: Marisa is a multi-talented and experienced professional. I am a massage client of Marisa’s and consistently benefit from her overall wellness knowledge, massage technique, and positive spirit. Each session, she is committed to creating a spectacular massage experience from the moment you arrive until you are walking out the door. I admire her professionalism, talent, and commitment to the customer experience. She lives her values in all that she does and as a result she has earned my trust and endorsement! To Marisa’s continued success!!
Fantastic experience: I trained with Marisa for 3 years. She is amazing. Highly professional and very quick to return any nutritional or other questions I had. I still will only go to her for my monthly massages because they are simply the best I have ever had. She is a wealth of knowledge when it comes to every day life and fitness goals!
Fantastic experience: Marisa is amazing at what she does! I always walk out of a massage session with her feeling amazing! She always goes the extra mile for her clients! Highly recommend visiting her for yourself!!
Fantastic experience: From the personal training point of view, Marisa has supported my efforts to put my aging body in the right direction following surgery over 2 years ago. She listened, developed a plan, and helped me advance my strength and flexibility across a number of key dimensions. She is extremely thoughtful in putting together an approach that fits the individual’s needs. Marisa understands how to encourage and does so with a smile and sense of humor (while still pushing me!). She’s the best!
Fantastic experience: I’ve been weightlifting for a little over 8 years, this built up a lot tension and stress on my body and realized I needed to go to someone who understood how my training affected my body. Marisa couldn’t be more knowledgeable, and passionate about what she does. During my first visit, I felt comfortable, relaxed and I walked away feeling better than I have in a very long time! I will definitely be returning, 10/10!
Fantastic experience: I have been going to Marisa for 2 years now. She has been able to eliminate my extreme lower back pain and upper shoulder tension/headaches. I would highly recommend Marisa. She is very professional, and knowledgeable. I wouldn’t want to go to anyone else.
Fantastic experience: Ok so most of y’all know I teach 10 or more fitness classes a week. It’s not only my job, it’s my passion! ❤️♀️ A massage at Route of Healthy Living, is my THERAPY! It’s a place where Marisa Savino created positive energy, gives a wonderful therapeutic massage, stretch then relaxing peace becomes just what any BODY needs! Aaaah loved my session Ris! TY
Fantastic experience: Whatever it is in life that you do, you must make time for your body to heal, especially if you are very active. Finding the right route to healing the mind and body is difficult and sometimes seems like a daunting task, that may actually increase anxiety. That’s where Marisa and the Route of Healthy Living come in. I’ve had experiences with many massage therapists, yet even though Marisa is an hour + drive for me, I still wouldn’t consider going to anyone else - and I haven’t, since meeting her almost 4 years ago. Without question, aside from her professionalism, she makes certain you are important to her. It’s not just a “feeling;” it’s genuine. Marisa gets to know you on a personal level, which helps heal you, but also develops a special relationship. Each time I come in, I leave feeling refreshed, relaxed and like I’ve caught up with a good friend - no price can be put on those things. I’d recommend Marisa to anyone who truly wants to feel relaxed and refreshed, but also to have that experience performed by someone who whose warm personality and positive vibes shine as bright as her smile.
Fantastic experience: We are all different and should not be treated the same when it comes to massage therapy. At Route of Healthy living, an individualized approach is used in addressing clients conditions. Getting to the source is Marisa’s objective- not simply focusing on the obvious discomfort. This sets the foundation for a path of improvement and of course, the route of healthy living! For those who are new to massage therapy, Marisa’s spirit and positivity makes it easy and educational. Yes, you will feel the benefits, but you will also develop a better understanding of how your body wants to work for you and how you can help your body do so in a safe and efficient manner. Treat yourself or someone else to a Route of Healthy Living experience. Your body and mind will thank you!
