Sustainable Results
1-to-1 Personal Training Sessions
You don’t need another random workout plan. You need a 1-to-1 personal training plan built around you — your body, your schedule, your goals, and the stuff that normally derails you (busy weeks, low energy, confidence dips, “I’ll start Monday” syndrome).
With 1-2-1 personal training, you get focused coaching, proper technique, a structured plan, and the accountability that turns good intentions into real results — without living in the gym.
If you want to feel stronger, look more toned, move better, and feel confident in your own skin, you’re in the right place.
From £35 per session
Who Is 1-to-1 Personal Training For?
This is for you if you:
- Want to lose body fat and feel leaner (without doing endless cardio)
- Want to tone up and build shape in your legs, glutes, arms, and core
- Feel nervous using the weights area and want confidence + guidance
- Are “busy but serious” and want training that’s efficient
- Have tried to start before, but struggle with consistency
- Want to feel strong, capable, and proud of what your body can do
Whether you’re a total beginner or getting back into training after a break, sessions are designed to meet you where you are — and move you forward.

What You’ll Do In Sessions
Your 1-to-1 personal training sessions will typically include:
- Warm-up + mobility (so your body moves properly)
- Strength training (machines + free weights, depending on confidence/ability)
- Core and stability work (to support your lifting and daily life)
- Conditioning (optional and targeted — not just “suffer for calories”)
- Cool-down + stretches (because your recovery matters)
Everything is coached, adjusted, and progressed so you keep improving safely.

Testimonials
Don’t take my word for it, see what my clients have to say!
Deborah. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
What I really appreciate about Marlies is the attention to detail and the care she puts into my workouts. This is different to my experience with trainers in the past. Furthermore, while she respects my limits, she never underestimates what I can do and I find this very encouraging. I highly recommend Marlies Fitness.
Birgit. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I was looking for a female Personal Trainer and I’ve been working with Marlies a few weeks now. She is really great. Listens to my needs and I feel much stronger and my skin is much better now. I’ve tried a lot of other PT’s but with Marlies I feel understood and listened to for the first time. I can highly recommend her.
Antony. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I chose Marlies, as she is excellent at what she does, her attention to detail is second to none. She guides me through every routine that I undertake. I feel very confident in my workouts when I’m with her. Thankyou Marlies.

If you’ve ever stepped on the scales after a “good week” and thought, “Excuse me??” Welcome to the club!
Let’s skip the TikTok Bullsh#t and talk about the real difference between fat loss and weight loss, why scale weight fluctuates daily, and what to track for real progress.
How to Stay Consistent in the Gym When Life Is Busy: Simple Habits That Work
Consistency is the hardest part of going to the gym. Not the exercises. Not the meal prep. Not even the leg day dread.
It’s the fact that real life does not care about your training plan.
You can be motivated on Monday and then by Wednesday you’re dealing with late meetings, bad sleep, family stuff, stress, and the kind of British weather that makes you want to become one with your duvet.
So if you struggle with staying consistent, you’re not broken. You’re human.
Gym Anxiety Is Real: How to Start Training When You Feel Self-Conscious
Walking into a gym when you don’t feel “gym-ready” is a special kind of stress.
It’s not just nerves. It’s the feeling that everyone’s watching. That you don’t know what you’re doing. That you’ll pick up the wrong dumbbell, sit on the wrong machine, press the wrong button, and a siren will go off while a staff member gently escorts you back to the car park.

If You’re Still Here in February… You’re the One Who Gets Results
The people who change their bodies and feel confident long-term aren’t always the ones with the most motivation.

A Day in the Life of a Personal Trainer in Exeter (Featuring: An Eye Twitch and Other Gym Traditions)
If you’ve ever wondered what a personal trainer’s day actually looks like, here’s the honest version: it’s part coaching, part therapist, part motivational DJ… and part professional water bottle refiller.
This is a light, behind-the-scenes look at a typical day as a 1-2-1 personal trainer — from early starts and caffeine dependence to the oddly emotional moment when a client nails their first push-up.
New Year, New Me? 10 Reasons Why It Never Works (And What Actually Does)
Every January, gyms get packed, salad sales spike, and half the world suddenly becomes a “morning person.” Then… February hits like a wet towel. Motivation disappears, routines collapse, and “New Year, New Me” quietly turns into “Same Me, But With Guilt.
