Mary Patterson earned her Bachelor of Science Degree in Rehabilitation Services Education with a concentration in Early Childhood Education from Penn State University. While working as a Pre-Kindergarten, Mary became a certified personal trainer. She fell in love with the fitness industry and teaching others how to live a healthy lifestyle. She decided to make a career change and dive into the fitness industry full time. She began working as a Personal Trainer and Group Exercise Instructor in New Jersey.

When Wesley Donald Patterson was born on September 14, 2006, Mary knew she wanted to stay at home to raise her son. A flexible personal training schedule and teaching some Mommy-Moves! stroller fitness classes have allowed her to fulfill that dream.

Mary is now excited to mold her two passions of working with children and fitness together into the creation of Kids-Move! She has teamed up with Lori Sawyer, founder of Mommy-Moves! Kids-Move! is a hands on apporach to preventing childhood obesity and inactivity in the United States. They have programs designed to work with the schools, health care facilities, children, and families.

Mary is also presently enrolled in the Institute for Integrative Nutirition. She looks forward to this program enhancing and complimenting her personal and family life, Kids-Move! families and clients, and personal training clients.
