Coach / lifelong student / very average cook

Hi, I’m Mara.

I coach people who are done starting over.

For the last nine years, I’ve helped desk-bound creatives, new parents, and former athletes build strength without making fitness their whole personality. My coaching blends simple biomechanics, progressive programming, and a deep respect for your actual life.

“I stopped chasing soreness and started noticing everything else: heavier carries, easier stairs, better sleep. For the first time, training feels like something I get to keep.”

Before we
get moving.

Not at all. Your starting point is useful information, not an entry requirement. Every plan begins with an assessment and meets you where you are.

Most clients train two to four times per week. We choose the minimum effective schedule that fits your life and supports steady progress.

Yes, once you have medical clearance where needed. Training is adapted around your history, current tolerance, and feedback—not forced through pain.

We talk through your goals, training history, schedule, and what has made consistency difficult. If the fit is right, you leave with a clear next step.

One conversation. No hard sell.
