“Ann Marie is pioneering a new era in weight training for women and seniors, all credited to her father's weight invention and mentorship.”
Hello, I'm Ann Marie, a passionate advocate for empowering women and seniors through weight training. With a career spanning over four decades since 1979, I remain dedicated to inspiring, motivating, and educating individuals on integrating weight training into their daily routines seamlessly.
My father, a pioneer in the health club industry and my mentor, invented the revolutionary Diodatics Weights and I developed the system—a groundbreaking approach to weight training. Endorsed by top fitness professionals and Arnold Schwarzenegger, these weights are not not just another dumbbell, they make weight training accessible and safe for everyone.
Over the last 30 years, I've utilized the Diodatics System to create successful workouts for diverse populations, including those with mobility issues and dementia. Proudly, the Diodatics System is now implemented in various facilities across California and Las Vegas, from nursing homes to community centers.
Current CDC research reveals that only 22% of women and 10% of seniors engage in regular resistance training, largely due to the lack of affordable and accessible systems for proper technique and safety. Weight training offers myriad benefits, including increased strength and a reduced risk of chronic conditions.
Determined to make a substantial impact, I aim to significantly increase these participation numbers. Partnering with podcast owners is a key strategy to empower more women and seniors to embrace weight training and its numerous benefits!
