Personal Training for physical and mental strength

Fully private studio gym in North Berkeley

Private Studio Gym - Easy parking and a fully private studio with an olympic squat rack, rowing machine, boxing, and more. Learn it all!

Feel overwhelmed at the gym? Looking for a fully private setting to work out? Have fitness goals for the new year, but don't know how to begin?

I help clients achieve healthy goals for physical and mental strength. Whether you're fully new to the gym, or you're looking for professional help and motivation to change up your current routine, I'm here to help. My training style is inclusive and fun, and you'll be amazed at how hard you push yourself.

I consider your current exercise level, your history with sports/recreation or lack thereof, and design training programs that fit your needs and provide support for incremental and sustainable change. No toxic masculinity, no calorie counting, no measurements - just commitment to trying hard.

If you're feeling intimidated by the gym, or the whole premise of exercise in general, call me!

Meet Shelly

Shelly Rae Holland is a NCSF-certified personal trainer and Master of Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT).

I spent years of my life in the gym with nothing but low self-esteem to show for it. Always pressed for time, I crammed workouts in the morning before work, or sometimes stayed at the gym until eleven pm to finish my joyless workouts. I felt like I hit rock bottom, counting calories on the digital treadmill, going to bed tired and waking up exhausted. I sought therapy, but was unable to get help. Years later, I decided to become a therapist, and now embody a regenerative mindset of radical acceptance.

Now I help other people regain self-love and find joy in exercise from a place of compassion. I believe exercise is a mind-body experience that creates opportunities for us to feel our emotions - all of them, and with good music.

Originally from Half Moon Bay, CA, I’m a nature person who loves to play outside. When I’m not training or providing therapy, I enjoy rock-climbing, bee-keeping, and other activities with hyphens.
