🏳️🌈 Gay Friendly Safe Space - 🌱 Vegan PT - 🤓 16 Years Experience - 💪🏼 Level 4 Advanced Personal Trainer
Personal Training for people who've felt out of place before
Inclusive. Real Results. Private Studio.
A Private, calm, 1-2-1 sessions in North London - for beginners, vegans & the LGBT+ community. Real results without the gym anxiety.
A dedicated Personal Training space for you?
Training designed for people who've felt out of place in gyms. I'm not the right fit for competitive athletes or people who just want a quick 6-week fix - I work best with people who want a real, lasting change.
🚀 FIRST TIMERS
Complete Beginner? Never lifted before?
That's fine, I'll meet you exactly where you are and build your knowledge, confidence and strength from the ground up - no gym anxiety, no intimidation. I specialise in helping total beginners build real confidence and long-lasting results.
🏳️🌈 SAFE SPACE
Gay and LGBT+ Community
My studio is a gay friendly, inclusive safe and welcoming space. As a gay trainer myself, I understand the unique barriers and pressures members of our community face around fitness and body image. I have proudly trained many gay, lesbian, bi, and trans clients.
🌱 PLANT-BASED
Vegans, vegetarians and plant based eaters
10 years Vegan myself. I'll provide nutrition guidance and support that works within your plant based diet. No awkward compromises.
🎯 REAL & SUSTAINABLE
People who want real results
My clients regularly lose a lot of weight, in many cases up to 20kg or gain similar results with muscle gain, in up to a year. Transformative results come from consistent, personalised programming and solid life-style and nutrition habits.
- ABOUT MARIOS
I created this space because
I needed it too
Advanced Level 4 Personal Trainer. Vegan. LGBT+ Ally.
Hi, I'm Marios
16+ years as a Personal Trainer - I'm an advanced level 4 Personal Trainer based in Arnos Grove, North London, specialising in beginner strength training, fat loss, lean bulking and plant based nutrition.
I've trained clients through weight loss, muscle gain, injury recovery, and life changes big and small.
I'm gay, I've been vegan for over 10 years, and I know from personal experience what it's like to feel out of place in a gym.
That's exactly why I have my own private studio - a space where no one has to feel that way.
I train people one-to-one, in a calm, fully-equipped home studio, in Arnos Grove, North London (near to Arnos Grove tube station). Great coaching, real results, and a lot of tea ☕️

What my clients are saying
+ 15kg muscle in 4 months
"I'm no longer skinny - I'm stronger, bigger and healthier than ever. My arms are 2 inches bigger and I'm bench pressing 60kg - I started barely able to lift the bar alone. Marios creates a safe, professional, welcoming environment where I feel confident and supported"

- 16kg in 8 months
I'm so happy to have found a gay personal trainer. I feel much more comfortable with a gay personal trainer as I can discuss aspects of my life that I could not so freely and openly with other personal trainers. Marios has a calm energy, he is really easy to talk to and helps me to find solutions when I get stuck.
I have to travel quite far to get to our personal training sessions in North London but the experience and the results I am getting makes the 2 hour travel time there and back more than worth it!"

-16kg in 9 months
I'm finally at my life time goal of 70kg. Even with a very busy life style, work trips and an active personal life, I'm managing to get results - I'm lighter and stronger than ever. I'm building muscle and getting stronger. I'm improving my upper body strength - now I am able to do quite a few full press-ups with good form.
I enjoy the chats with Marios. He is my friend as well as my personal trainer.
As Marios is a Vegan personal trainer, he understands my largely vegetarian diet - he supports me here.

54kg to 70kg Lean Bulk
"I was slim, weak and lethargic. Now I hold my space, my clothes fit well, my posture has improved enormously.
As someone who was a total beginner, I didn't feel confident about starting my fitness journey on my own at a gym, then I found Marios - the perfect personal trainer for me."

Fat Loss and Body Recomposition
"With help from Marios, I am now able to train independently and enjoy healthy Vegan food - something I was not confident to do before. I understand how to train, how to position myself, with safe form and how to change my training program up to progress my workouts.
I feel so much more confidence, I'm like a new person. Happier, lighter with more energy. I am now able to keep my weight stable, at a healthy BMI. My girlfriend is also happy to see me looking and feeling better than ever. Thank you, Marios"
