Home strength
One to one strength training in your own space, planned around the kit that fits. Most clients train twice a week at the same time.
Single session$70
Strength training that arrives at your door
Mara brings the dumbbells, kettlebells, bands and a folding bench to your living room, a park near you or the office meeting room. You skip the commute to a gym; she carries the kit both ways.

What comes out of the boot
Every session arrives in the same three bags, unpacked onto a mat in about five minutes. Together they cover a full strength session without a single machine, and Mara plans each one around what fits your space rather than what a gym would have.
You need only trainers, water and a clear patch of floor. Everything is wiped down between clients and goes back in the car before she leaves, so your room looks as it did.
- Adjustable dumbbells from 2 to 24 kg
- Kettlebells of 8, 12, 16 and 20 kg
- Resistance bands and suspension straps for a door frame or a tree
- A folding bench and an aerobic step
- Two mats, cones and an interval timer
- A first aid kit in every bag
How much room a session needs
No home gym required. These are the places Mara trains in most weeks, and what each one changes about the kit and the plan.
| Where | Space needed | Kit that comes | Good to know |
|---|---|---|---|
| Living room | About 2 by 3 metres of clear floor | Dumbbells, bands, bench, mats | Mats protect the floor, and nothing heavy is dropped, so the neighbours below hear very little |
| Garage or garden | Flat ground and room to swing a kettlebell | The full kit, kettlebells included | Heavy rain moves the session indoors or under cover |
| Park | A flat patch of grass near the meeting point | Bands, straps, kettlebells up to 16 kg, cones | Some towns ask trainers to hold a permit for parks; Mara holds the ones required here |
| Office | A meeting room or a roof terrace | Bands, dumbbells, mats | The building's rules apply and the office books the room |
Rules on training clients in public parks differ between towns and countries, so the park list is checked each spring.

The first visit
Before any session is booked, Mara comes to see the space and meet you. The visit takes 30 minutes and costs nothing.
Send a request
Pick the place and a few times that suit you, and say whether there are stairs or parking limits.
A 30 minute home visit
Mara looks at the space, goes through a short health questionnaire with you and watches a few easy movements.
A plan for your space
Within two days you get the first four sessions written out, with the kit each one needs.
First session
She arrives ten minutes early to set up, so the whole hour goes on training.
Living rooms, lawns and meeting rooms
A normal week of sessions, from sunrise in the park to the last client at home.
From clients' front rooms (example reviews)
With two small children, getting to a gym never happened. Now the session happens in the lounge after the school run, and the kit is gone again before lunch.
Mara checked the space first, moved the coffee table, and planned everything around a low ceiling. Six months on, the routine has stuck.
Our team trains in the big meeting room every Thursday. Nobody needs gym clothes, and the sessions are the one meeting everyone turns up to.
Asked at the front door
What happens if it rains on a park session?
Light rain is fine with the right jacket. In heavy rain or lightning the session moves to your home or a covered space, or to another day at no cost.
Does a client need any equipment?
None at all. Bring trainers and water. If you would like a pair of bands or a kettlebell for the days between sessions, Mara can suggest what to look for, though nobody is asked to buy anything.
Is there a travel fee?
Not inside the 10 km zone around the town centre. Addresses further out add $10 to each session, and that is stated before you book.
What if a client has a health condition?
Anyone living with a heart condition or high blood pressure, expecting a baby, recovering from surgery or simply unsure should get a doctor's view first. Mara goes through a health questionnaire at the first visit and plans within whatever your doctor advised; she does not give medical advice.
Can children or pets be at home during a session?
Yes, as long as the training space stays clear. Kettlebells and dumbbells stay on the mat while in use and are packed away the moment the session ends.
Are any results promised?
No. Sessions are planned around strength, movement and how you feel day to day, and no promises are made about weight or how a body will look. Progress is checked by what you can lift and how well it moves.
Request a first home visit
Tell Mara where you would like to train and which hours usually suit you. Within one working day she confirms the visit, offers another time or explains that the address sits outside her zone.
- Nothing is booked until Mara confirms
- Packs are paid to Mara directly after the visit
- Your full address is only needed once a visit is confirmed
Talk to Mara
Phone between sessions, or send an email and Mara answers the same evening.

Parking for the kit
The kit weighs around 45 kg, so Mara needs a parking space or a loading spot within about 50 metres of your door. Mention stairs or a lift in your request.
