BRANDS WE’VE WORKED WITH:

KIND WORDS

KIND WORDS

  • "I had been practicing locally with Marissa for almost a year and loved the sense of community I felt in her classes. When she posted her first international retreat to Nicaragua, I knew I wanted to be part of it. It turned out to be the perfect mix of challenging yoga sessions, peaceful (optional) downtime, and exciting activities to explore the beautiful surroundings. Not only did I deepen my yoga practice, but I also found time to reconnect with myself and build meaningful connections with fellow yogis. I left feeling strong, empowered, and deeply connected—both to myself and the amazing community she created."

    — Kelsey, Retreat Attendee

  • "Marissa's weekend yoga retreats have been a perfect way to help me grow in my yoga practice while still meeting me just where I am. Marissa expertly curates the classes throughout the weekend to balance challenge and restoration. The accommodation and food offerings are also excellent. Marissa is thoughtful in her approach with cuing, assists, and modifications. As a long time student of her classes, the retreats have been such a welcome addition to what she offers. Highly recommend to anyone considering!"

    — Tina, local retreat attendee

  • " I have been a personal training client of Marissa’s for more than 10 years. There are many reasons why I keep going back regularly, so I’ll just name the top three: 1) Marissa keeps it fun, fresh and she genuinely cares about all aspects of my health and wellness journey, 2) her knowledge of exercise physiology and cardio/strength training and yoga is exceptionally high, which is why in all these years I’ve never had a training injury—she adjusts the work in real time according to my body’s response and 3) Marissa is one of those rare people, a genuinely good human who wants the best in me, which motivates me to engage in every workout—truly a cheerleader!"

    — Susan, personal training client

  • "I have worked with a number of trainers and Marissa is by far the best, which is why I have been working exclusively with her now for several years. She is so much more than just someone I go see a few times a week at the gym to make me lift weights. She is a motivator who pushes me outside my comfort zone in the gym and in the yoga studio. She cares about more than how much I can lift or how fast I can run. She always wants to know what MY health and fitness goals are and creates fun and challenging workouts that push me to achieve those goals. In addition to her exceptional fitness and yoga expertise, she is an all-around great and caring person who is a pleasure to work with and an inspiration for me to continue on my path to fitness and overall health and wellness."

    — Cindy, personal training client

  • "Marissa has been a lululemon Ambassador for the past two years and working with her has been an absolute pleasure! She is professional, organized and fun. Marissa elevates the Baltimore community through her passion for connection, inclusion, wellness and genuine care for others. I can’t think of a better person to represent lululemon Harbor East."

    — Lindsay, lululemon manager

  • “Marissa Walch has become an integral part of McCormick’s commitment to fostering a supportive and balanced work culture. Through globally accessible sessions, like yoga, meditation, and mindfulness events—including a personalized global and virtual event for World Mental Health Day—Marissa brings wellness into the fabric of our daily work environment. These sessions offer all employees, no matter their role or experience, a chance to pause, recharge, and reconnect, contributing significantly to a culture of wellbeing and productivity. Marissa’s approach aligns seamlessly with our goal of creating a workplace that truly enhances life, making a meaningful difference in our employees' wellbeing across the globe”

    — Sierra, McCormick Corporate Partner

ABOUT US

At live well: the studio, we’re not just redefining wellness – we’re transforming it into a way of life.

Why should your wellness be restricted to four walls when your wellbeing is boundless? Our roaming studio brings empowering wellness experiences directly to you, wherever life takes you. Whether it’s yoga, meditation, sound baths, high-intensity workouts, or retreats, we design personalized programs that turn any space into your own movement sanctuary.

live well: the studio emerged from a desire to break free from traditional gym settings. After over 15 years of building her fitness brand on the East Coast, primarily in Baltimore, Marissa Walch saw the pandemic as an opportunity to reimagine wellness. The closure of local studios and community spaces sparked a creative pivot, leading to virtual personal training, corporate wellness programs, and events in unconventional venues. What started as a personal vision grew into a movement; one focusing on fostering meaningful spaces where movement, connection, and joy collide.

This movement is the heart of live well. We offer expert-led, adaptable wellness experiences tailored for individuals, brands, and wellness professionals. Our diverse team of trainers ensures that every session is delivered with expertise and enthusiasm, creating the space for you to connect and thrive. We bring the mats, equipment, sound, and energy, making wellness a seamless part of your everyday life. Whether you’re joining us for a corporate retreat, a personal training session, or a virtual class, you’ll be welcomed into a supportive community that always has your back.
