Meet Marley Angeles

Who I Help

I coach a wide range of clients and goals, but I’m a best fit for anyone who wants training that feels supportive, personalized, and sustainable.

I especially love working with:

• Prenatal and postpartum clients who want to feel strong, capable, and confident
• Perimenopausal and menopausal women who want strength training that respects recovery and real life
• Adults 50-plus who want more strength, balance, mobility, and long-term independence
• Post-PT clients who want a smart, steady rebuild back to the activities they care about
• Beginners and returning exercisers who want a clear plan and a coach who makes the gym feel approachable



My “niche” is women’s health, but my strength is coaching humans. If you want to build a better relationship with exercise and feel proud of how you move, you’ll fit right in.

My Story

Movement has been part of my life since I was little. I grew up in gymnastics, and I started coaching gymnastics when I was younger. That experience shaped how I coach today: break things down, build trust, and help you feel safe trying something new.

As an adult, that foundation naturally became personal training and group fitness. Over time, I also spent years working in physical therapy environments where PTs hand off clients to trainers for the next stage. That shaped my coaching instincts in a big way: progressions matter, communication matters, and “listen to your body” is only helpful if you have a plan that shows you how.

Outside the gym, I’m a mom of three, a Bay Area local, and a lifelong movement nerd. I love hiking, traveling, and circus arts. I’m also a home-cook, a fan of grassroots documentaries, and yes, I do fire dancing.

How I Coach

Upbeat and structured. I’m energetic, enthusiastic, and a little goofy, but your plan is never random.

Here’s what that looks like in practice:

• We start with your goals, needs, strengths, and areas of opportunity
• I build a simple full-body framework that supports your lifestyle
• We choose movement patterns you actually enjoy, because you do not need to suffer through exercises you hate to make progress
• I explain what we’re doing and why, so you feel confident, not confused
• We adjust intelligently based on soreness, stress, sleep, pain signals, and energy



Communication is at the center of my coaching. I ask questions, I listen closely, and I want you to feel ownership in the process. I’m an expert in movement patterns; you’re the expert in your body. We build the plan together.

What training feels like with Marley

What You Can Expect

• A quick check-in so the session matches how you’re actually feeling today
• Music you enjoy and a fun warm-up that blends light cardio, balance, and mobility
• Strength training that’s progressive and coached, with clear cues and supportive energy
• Exercise options and modifications that still move you forward, even on low-energy days
• Assisted stretching at the end that feels amazing and supports recovery
• A high five (or a hug if you’re a hug person) and a simple goal to carry into real life

Clients often tell me they leave sessions feeling better than they arrived. That’s the standard.

Coaching principles

My Coaching Standards

• No shame-based coaching: you’ll get honesty and support, never judgement
• No random workouts: every phase has a purpose
• No pushing through sharp pain signals: we adjust and keep progress moving
• No exercises you hate “because you have to”: we find a better option that still fits the goal
• No intimidation: the gym should feel safe, welcoming, and doable
• Structure plus flexibility: consistency matters more than perfection

Client wins I love the most

My favorite wins are the ones that change how you feel in your body day to day.

One of my favorite recent moments was simple but powerful. A client told us: “I haven’t been freed up to move so fluidly in years.”



That’s the kind of progress I care about: confidence, ease, and strength that shows up in real life.
