Tell us more about yourself
What are your personal fitness goals?
To be the best version of myself and push myself harder than I thought possible
How will you use your #BiogenFaceOfFitness ambassadorship to inspire women to lead a healthy / fit lifestyle if you win?
Speaking from experience, I was an unhealthy, overweight mom, depressed and convinced that there was just no time to lead that healthy lifestyle, and at the end of the day dreading the woman I saw in the mirror. I was sad, tired and overwhelmed, not sure on how to turn things around. One day I decided to grab every bit of faith I had and took one day at a time and my life changed. I received a setback a couple of months ago and had a melanoma removed which made me realize how quickly things can change. We fought back and I’m excited to see how we can inspire ladies and help them know that they are worth it.
What health and fitness quote or mantra do you live by?
It’s not how you start, but how you finish.
Tell us about your fitness lifestyle
I am a fitness trainer and I train 3 times a day. I train early mornings before anyone in my house is awake and then I have a morning class and then an afternoon session. There are ladies from every walk of life joining us. I also do Facebook live classes during the lockdown period so that my ladies can still get their workouts done. I do a bit of everything, like functional fitness, weight training, hiit training, plyometric training and everything else in between.
Why do you think you’re the Biogen Face of Fitness?
I know that there are a lot of ladies much more qualified to be the Biogen Face of Fitness but I know there is nobody more passionate and dedicated to inspiring ladies than me.

I started training with Mary once a week to improve my running. But lockdown was the game changer for me, because shé was the one that pulled out all the stops to help each and every one of us to stay fit and motivated via Facebook live classes and health tips. She is the person with the most willpower and dedication I have ever met. She makes me want to be the best version of myself- in training as well as life. She is the most sincere and unselfish person I know. She has the body every girl dreams of having, but it’s her pure heart and personality that steals the show. I knew her from before she was a trainer – an under the radar mommy at school. But now is the time for her to shine! She derserves it!!
Mary Lee is the definition of dedication and success! She will be an asset to any fitness platform! And on top of all… she is a friendly loving child of God. That makes her the Winner already!
Thank you so so much Annakie ❤️ I can’t even begin to explain how much I appreciate you xxx
She changed my attitude towards for fitness- an inspiration for sure!
