Henk
Owner / Personal Trainer
Around 30 years in the industry, and the owner of MarionPT since 2010. Henk trains people for the life they want outside the gym — travelling, golf, keeping up with the young ones, getting off the floor unaided.
Warradale, close to Westfield Marion
The gym where everybody has a personal trainer.
MarionPT is a small studio, not a big-box gym. Whatever your age, size, or starting point, you train with a coach who knows your name and watches how you move.
Progress, not perfection.
We believe a strong, balanced body is the thing that lets you get on with your life. So we ask members to measure progress against where they started — not against the person on the next machine.
What we believe
- 01 Everyone belongs here
- Regardless of age, gender, size, physical condition or health. That is the whole philosophy, and the studio is built around it.
- 02 Coaching, not supervision
- Nobody is left to work it out from a poster on the wall. Someone is watching, correcting and adjusting.
- 03 Built for the second half of life
- Much of our membership is 35 and over. Strength, mobility and staying capable matter more than a personal best.
- 04 Small on purpose
- A small studio is how the coaching stays close. It is a deliberate limit, not a stage we are trying to grow out of.
The people you’ll train with
A small team, so you'll get to know all of them.
Duran
Personal Trainer
Fifteen years at MarionPT, and part of the furniture in the best possible way. Patient and easy-going — he’ll push you when you need it, without standing over you shouting for another ten reps.
Mason
Personal Trainer
Five years at MarionPT and the most direct coach on the team. A competitive bodybuilder who’ll happily challenge you toward a specific goal — and who knows not every session should leave you on the floor.

Great place to have a tailor made programs to achieve your fitness goal(s). I was struggling with regaining strength and flexibility post a motorcycle accident which had me bedridden for 3 months, Duran helped me make good progress in 2-3months. Thanks to their mindful and sustainable approach, fitness has become a habit for me. I am the fittest I have ever been since i got the dad bod 10yrs ago and doing it all while sharing a good laugh and banter. :-D Excited to achieve more in 2025 with the Marion PT crew.

I really enjoy my training with Marion PT. Duran my PT has helped me get back into training while working with my injuries and making me stronger every day! The atmosphere and the friendly faces are very welcoming. I’m so glad my friend recommended them to me.

Best gym I've ever been to! Duran and Henk clearly love what they do, care for their clients and foster an inclusive, safe environment. I've had lots of PTs over the years and these guys are seriously up there with best. Safety is always front of mind which is ideal for older or injured clients. They're always bright and happy, and make exercising fun! As long as i live in Adelaide, I'll be attending Marion PT!
