Client Testimonials
Full-Time CrossFit Athlete
Ashley Cuccaro
"Because of Casey and M2 I became not only a stronger, healthier, and more competitive than I ever thought I could be; I became a better, and smarter version of the person I was before this journey."
Brandi Naylor
"Since working with Casey and M2 I've seen major changes in many aspects of my life. I'm hypothyroid so my energy levels, mood, and appetite have always been a struggle despite being regulated with medication. Over the past few months, my energy levels and mood have stopped swinging wildly. I'm eating a ton of food without packing on a bunch of weight and have had tons of PR's in the process. I can't stress enough how much better I feel!"
Jennifer S.
"Casey has been an amazing coach. She is very knowledgeable, intentional and helpful. Every time we talked, Casey asked me questions that encouraged me to really think about my health and fitness goals. I appreciate her so much!"
