Coaching with purpose, passion & expertise
I am Coach Mary Carmen, born in Basel in 1997, and my enthusiasm for sport has been with me since childhood. At the age of five, I found my place in the children’s circus – an environment where I was able to discover my body in a playful yet intensive way. The combination of floor acrobatics, juggling and partner aerial acrobatics not only shaped my physical development, but also laid the foundation for my current passion: helping people reach their full potential.
Sport is more than a passion for me – it is my calling. As a fitness trainer, I love working with people, identifying their individual needs and finding ways together that really help them progress. My goal is to inspire you, encourage you and show you that with the right attitude, you can achieve anything.
I am currently completing a comprehensive training programme to become a certified mental coach with a focus on sport, which I am pursuing with great dedication until the end of 2026. I continuously integrate this valuable know-how into my coaching sessions. This means you not only benefit physically, but also strengthen your mental fitness – for sustainable progress, greater ease and a holistically healthier life.
From the depths to the power - the moving story of fitness trainer Mary Carmen
My path has not always been straightforward. In my youth, I struggled with depression and eating disorders – a challenging time from which I emerged stronger thanks to professional support. Today, I live consciously, healthily and with a deep appreciation for physical and mental well-being.
Since 2018, I have been intensively dedicated to functional training. In 2021, I founded my own company in the field of personal training and health promotion. Since 2024, I have been a member of the Swiss Personal Training Association and certified as a Swica-recognised senior personal trainer. In addition, our studio is QualiTop-certified, which means that around 20 health insurance companies cover part of the costs for fitness or personal training.
My aim is to support people of all ages in achieving their goals – whether it’s physical changes or gaining more energy, stability and joie de vivre in everyday life. The first step is always the most important: dare to try something new. Together, we will create a strong foundation for your long-term well-being.
If you are ready to make a change, I look forward to accompanying you on this journey. Please do not hesitate to contact me.
What our customers say: satisfaction that convinces.
+1: Her sense of humour is 5*
Her training plans are thoughtfully structured and highly dynamic, incorporating a wide range of exercises that target different muscle groups. This variety keeps the workouts dynamic, engaging and effective. What really stands out is her attention to detail—she provides clear, helpful guidance to everyone to ensure each exercise is done correctly and safely, which has made a big difference in my progress (as I am adapting some of the exercises at home).
Beyond her technical expertise, Mary creates an open, friendly atmosphere where everyone feels welcome. The sessions are easy-going and inclusive, with a great sense of community. You feel comfortable speaking up, asking questions, and pushing your own limits.
I’m truly inspired by Mary’s dedication and drive. She’s not just leading workouts—she’s helping people grow. I’m excited to continue training with her and to see how she continues to grow herself. Highly recommended!
I had the pleasure of training with Mary as part of a fitness bootcamp, and she was by far the highlight of the entire experience. My personal goal was to improve overall fitness and especially posture, with a focus on building lean muscle rather than losing weight – and Mary delivered exactly what I needed.
She brings incredible energy to every session and knows how to push you in just the right way: motivating and challenging, but always supportive and positive. I also really appreciated how attentive she was to form and technique, taking time to correct movements so I could train safely and effectively.
What stood out most was how consistent I became under her coaching – something I always struggled with in traditional gym settings. The group dynamic she fostered was incredibly encouraging, and her guidance extended beyond workouts, with tips around nutrition and healthy routines that added real value.
Mary’s coaching style makes her a fantastic fit for anyone – whether you’re just starting out or looking to level up your fitness in a sustainable, smart way. Highly recommended!
Mary really pays attention to your posture and corrects you to make sure you do the exercise correctly to prevent injuries. She creates diverse and challenging programs that make you feel progress quickly! She is motivating, kind, good humored (even early in the morning) and (bonus) has good music to support the work out.
