private studio PT sessions
Private studio PT sessions - COPTHORNE
Private in-studio PT sessions are a great option if you're looking for a personalised 1-1 personal training session but perhaps a change in scenery away from home or not feeling particularly comfortable in an open-plan gym environment.
And I bring all the necessary equipment to help you get the most out of your session.
Book these as a one-off PAYG session or book a block of sessions to secure a set weekly spot.
These hour-long sessions are already very popular, so please get in touch as soon as possible, to book your IN-STUDIO PRIVATE PT SESSION with me!

workouts tailored to you
tailored to your current fitness levels and goals
Before we start training together, whether in person or online,
your first INTRODUCTORY session will also include a comprehensive fitness test and physical assessment of your mobility or any current movement restrictions.
Based on your fitness test results, goals and any existing or previous injuries, I will design a program personalised to you.
As you increase your fitness levels and gain strength we will reassess your fitness every couple of months, meaning we can analyse your progress and celebrate your achievements!
couples who train together
train as a couple or with a friend
Ideal for those who work out with a friend or family member.
Each workout is tailored to your individual fitness levels and goals, but you have the benefit of working out with someone you know, which is a huge motivation in itself!
To book an initial introductory session for two, please get in touch for a FREE initial consultation.
what you say
her strength has improved so much
"We feel so lucky to have found Marlene. She has been amazing at working with my daughter (14), creating a programme with exactly what she needed to build strength to help her with her ballet training.
She feels so at ease training with her and her strength has improved so much in just the first 10 weeks" - Gemma
I end the sessions feeling strong capable and proud of what I've done!
I have done just over a year now of one-on-one PT sessions with Marlene and I can't ever imagine stopping them! In Marlene, I have found not only a PT who knows her stuff but also a friend and a cheerleader who makes me feel good about myself weekly.
In a whole year's worth of sessions, I have never done the same workout twice. Through the use of fitness tests, and listening to my goals, Marlene designs tailor-made programmes that she adapts and evolves as I make progress.
So that all of our sessions are exactly what I need for my fitness levels.
She helps push me to achieve personal bests and increase my fitness but always to a level that I feel safe and comfortable with. I end the sessions feeling strong capable and proud of what I've done (as well as being red in the face and dripping with sweat)!
Having the accountability and encouragement of a PT has proven to be an absolute game changer. - Louise
surprised at how quickly we felt the results
We contacted Marlene as we felt the need to address our fitness after a particularly indulgent holiday!
Marlene was very encouraging right from the first assessment of our fitness and made the twice weekly sessions fun and energetic.
We were surprised at how quickly we felt the results and with regular assessments we could track the progress we were making.
We completed 2 months of personal training with Marlene before we felt confident enough to join a gym and would like to thank Marlene for setting us on the right track, we would wholeheartedly recommend Marlene as a PT.
