About Marit
I am a wife, mother, former attorney and now the proud owner of HomeBodies Fitness LLC. I started my fitness journey much like you did -I joined a gym after my son was born even though I wasn’t really a “gym person.” I had a friend who made me accountable and, before long, I fell in love with exercise. I received my fitness certification shortly thereafter and began teaching group fitness classes.
For the last 10 years, my primary goal has been to create fun, effective workouts for my clients while keeping them safe and successful. I transitioned into personal training several years ago and really love the one-on-one bond I have formed with my training clients. We set goals together and work to achieve them. I do not believe in “quick fixes” but I do believe in hard work, consistency and steady progression.
If you are looking for a fun, supportive environment to work on your fitness goals, you have come to the right place! I would love to help you achieve your goals!

I have been training with Marit for approximately 2 years. I started with her shortly after having hip replacement surgery. Because of the surgery, I was anxious about beginning an exercise program; however once I met with Marit and started exercising, my anxiety was replaced with an understanding that I was in good hands. She is a knowledgeable, experienced trainer and understands that not everyone can do every type of exercise and is always ready instantly with a modification that will work. I look forward to our sessions and always feel better and stronger after each one. Marit truly cares about her clients and is happy to see them progress. On top of that, she is one of the nicest people I know. I highly recommend her without hesitation.

I am notoriously inflexible and never did much strength training, even though I was an athlete in college. I had the cardio down, but never had the strength and agility part figured out. Since training with Marit that has changed dramatically and I feel like I am a much better athlete. I love HomeBodiesFitness because each workout is unique and I can feel every muscle group working in new ways like never before. I leave every session feeling strong and empowered. Having an encouraging, motivating and supportive instructor makes all the difference and Marit is as good as it gets. Since she does the workouts alongside us it cultivates an irreplaceable community atmosphere and I look forward to every session. HomeBodies By Marit builds more than fitness and strength - it builds personal connections and friendships. I can’t wait to continue exploring new exercises and take my fitness to the next level.

I have been training with Marit for over a year. She has helped me regain a level of fitness I never thought possible. At our first session she asked if I had any goals. Simple, I wanted to be able to do 10 pull ups and be pushed to my limit every workout. She delivered on my first goal and so much more. Her knowledge of functional training and ability to create challenging enjoyable workouts is second to none. Marit showed me a completely new way to train my whole body effectively in one hour. Every week the exercises were different but attained the same goal of a complete body workout with an emphasis on core movements we all use every day. Her HIIT workouts are my favorite because they combine cardio and strength training into a non-stop sweat-a-thon. She leads by example and understands health and well being is everyones most important asset. In addition she is a wonderful person and I can not recommend her more highly.

For so many, quarantine has meant weight gain brought on by overeating and a less active lifestyle. Through it all, with the Y and gym's closed down, A group of us ,who have been virtually attending Marit's Homebodies classes, have had the opportunity to maintain a high level of fitness, joy and connection. Marit brings her skill, knowledge, upbeat encouragement and endless creativity into every one of her challenging and extremely effective Zoom workouts. Bonus - we get a dose of vital connection as we're working out virtually with familiar classmates.
I'm stronger and more fit than ever. For this, I have Marit and her Homebodies creation to thank. It's been great and I can't wait for the next class!

This workout was awesome. Crazy schedule this week, so could not make either live session, but really appreciated seeing the whole workout through- easy to follow. The workout, of course, was not easy. Had some misguided thought about how hard could it be with just a mat and a towel, but then I remembered the instructor! Power of isometrics-thanks!

Marit is a treasure I was lucky enough to find. She is truly wonderful. I am a “senior” (65+) client, and Marit tailors the exercises to my capabilities for a great and safe workout. My time with her has truly changed my life both physically and mentally. She is smart, fun and supportive; truly knows the human body. I look forward to my one- on-one sessions with her each week. Marit is a gift to give yourself!
