Dear Women,
My name is Dustin Maher www.dustinmaherfitness.com and I am a fitness professional living in Madison, WI. I am 25 years old and absolutely love my job as a personal trainer/fitness instructor/writer/motivational speaker/and teacher. I love helping moms get into better shape than before having kids!
The first question I get asked a lot, is why a 25 year old single guy loves working with moms? Well the answer to that question goes back many years to when my mom raised me and my 3 younger siblings. She was a stay-at-home mom and did so much for her 4 children. Looking back, I realized that she spent so much time taking care of her kids that she didn’t give herself time for herself. I also realized that she didn’t have a good support group of other mothers around her to share life with her. I was very bless to have a mom that was health conscious and cooked very healthy. I learned a lot from her as she taught me what it meant to eat well. I have also realized that when I can help a mom change the foods that she buys for her family and begins to exercise, her kids want to do what she is doing! So not only do I get to help the mother out, but I get to help the kids and maybe the husband (once in awhile) out as well.
I graduated from the University of Wisconsin with a degree in Kinesiology Exercise Science. I immediately knew what I wanted to do! I created a class called MamaTone Fitness. The mission for MamaTone was to help moms realize that it was important to take care of there physical bodies, and that they could still achieve a great body after kids. The second part of the mission was to connect mothers with each other so they could share life’s experiences with one another.
I am proud to say MamaTone is thriving here in Madison and will continue to grow.
But now I have a bigger mission and that is to help 1,000,000 mothers to get into the best shape of their life! My goal is that this website will be a place where mothers can come to for the TRUTH when it comes to exercise and eating. There are so many opinions out there on how to get into great shape that it may seem overwhelming, but I will clear through the clutter and provide meaningful workouts and eating advice that is quick/easy/and effective that can fit into the daily crazyness of your life!
