September Athlete of the Month - Mary Bouchard

​We are so delighted to be celebrating Mary Bouchard as our September Athlete of the Month.  Mary has been training with us since the very beginning of the Wilcox Brunswick location back in January 2019 and we have just loved being part of Mary’s journey, and her a part of ours.

When Mary first joined she wanted to get back into a fitness routine as she prepared for a half marathon, a goal that was important to her for both physical and personal reasons.  She wanted to build confidence, peace & balance, and be a role model to her family.  She also wanted to learn how to lift weight safely in order to gain strength throughout her whole body.

Mary’s commitment has been an inspiration since the first day that she started in her training program.  

Like many of our clients she is a mother, a daughter, and a dedicated employee.  She is committed to the people who she loves and to being the best that she can be in all aspects of her life.  This means that life can get busy at times, causing her to be a bit less consistent for a week or two, but she always gets right back on track as soon as the other needs of her life are taken care of.

“Don’t be too hard on yourself.  Pick something small to change and stick with it.  Eventually it becomes a habit and eventually you will feel and see the gains you have made”


When she needed extra help with nutrition she asked for help with accountability and took the initiative to keep a nutrition journal and make small tweaks to how she was eating to help her move down the path that she desired.  While working through some knee pain she would ask for help with modifications, listen to the trainers, and adjust as needed so that she could heal her knee and stay consistent with her training program, returning to being pain free quickly.

​Most recently Mary added a private training session once per week in addition to her group training program.  She enjoys working with Bree and learns a lot about her body during her group training sessions.

Having the opportunity to work closely with Bree 1:1 each week provides her with the space to push herself a bit further out of her comfort zone and continue to develop new understandings of how she can challenge herself.

​Mary has been a part of our community since the very beginning and has been a big part of the welcoming culture that Wilcox Wellness & Fitness has come to be known for.  She is a part of the Wilcox family and not only is willing to ask for advice and support when she needs it, she is also an incredible source of friendship and support to the rest of us.

We are so honored to have Mary as a part of our community and thrilled to acknowledge all of her hard work and commitment.  Way to go Mary!  We look forward to many more successes and fun times in the years to come.
