Bio

Marti Shea attended Boston University on a full Cross Country /Track scholarship and received her BS from Boston University in 1985 and an MS in Education in 1986. Upon graduation she founded Select Fitness Inc, a personal training studio in Marblehead MA and has been training clients of all ages and fitness levels over the past 25 years.  Marti grew up playing numerous sports but in her junior year of high school began concentrating on running which led to many years of successful performances and accolades.  In 1992, at the age of 29, Marti decided to retire from professional running to concentrate on her personal training career.  A year later on a whim qualified and then won the World Amateur Duathlon Championships in Ferrara Italy.

It would be 14 years later, at the age of 44, before she would compete in any competitive sports. Although she kept very active and fit during these years,  it was the limitations of an osteoarthritic knee that convinced her to reinvent herself as an athlete. Marti traded in her running shoes for a bike and began taking part and winning hill climbs. Known foremost for her domination as a climber on the bike, Marti  also excels at time trial events and stage racing.
