It would take many many generations with no interbreeding for Martians to lose a body structure that can survive 1.0G. It would require a training regimen to keep the required muscle mass and bone density, but it'll be millennia (and that assumes that there's never any interbreeding with Terrans) before the genotype will have diverged to the point that Earth's gravity would be like 2.6G of stress.

EDIT: Though certainly we wouldn't be looking at casual interplanetary tourism being a thing even after a couple generations.
