About

The Maury Method is a full circled approach to help you live your life to its potential. Central to this approach are the beliefs that:

My name is Maury Wiegand and I am the creator of the Maury Method. I would like to share a bit of my story to start a conversation with you. In creating relationships that are based on trust and transparency, I believe conversations might sometimes be the most valuable tool in establishing long-lasting client relationships.

My career has encompassed over four decades in the competitive fitness industry, where experience matters. This is largely because I remain wildly obsessed with research and education, fostering changes for both my clients and my professional development. My professional accomplishments include the start-up of The Club in Bozeman (2004) and The Club on Rouse (2011), followed by the continuation of client and trainer relationships at Bridger Orthopedic. In 2019, I felt that restless call to change it up. I was interested in developing new platforms to increase my health and wellness skill delivery at a broader and more community level.

This journey led me back to my core passion in personal development: education. I recently earned a Master’s degree in Public Health from the University of Montana, graduating with highest honors in December 2022. My studies focused on chronic disease prevention and reinforced my previous research on fitness and wellness.

I consider myself a lifetime learner. I hold a bachelors degree in Exercise Science, a Masters in Public Health (MPH) and have a long history of earned certifications through ACSM, ACE, and CHEK. Additionally, I have provided continuing education courses through the American Council on Exercise. I’m am a certified trainer with NASM (CPT) and ACSM, Exercise is Medicine.

While pursuing my Master’s, I joined the team at Healthy is Wellness (HIW), where I gained valuable experience in health coaching. I conducted graduate research work with HIW and refined my skills in personal training, health coaching, and corporate wellness. I have expanded my weight room proficiency by becoming a Level 1 USA Weightlifting coach, tailoring Olympic lift protocals to a senior market. I also apply my Foundation Training certification to create a well-rounded approach to client care. By integrating this extensive and eclectic knowledge base, I developed the Maury Method to better serve individual client goals.

I have been fortunate to have several writing opportunities, both local and national. As these publications continue to develop, I hope you’ll find informative posts on my blog providing both individual and community health perspectives.

I’ve been a Bozeman resident for the past 30 years, raising four children in the Gallatin Valley while participating in and supporting local skiing, running, biking, and conservation organizations. I continue to be in awe of the splendor of the valley we inhabit and my values for living life to its fullest are encapsulated in the mountains that surround us.

I hope the Maury Method’s approach to living a full, robust, and evolving lifestyle might provide fresh ideas for you to consider in your own wellness journey!
