2025- Just had my first spray tan at The Cakery, and I’m seriously impressed. The whole process was so simple and easy, but what blew me away was the device itself. I’ve had a lot of spray tans over the years, and this is the first one that uses warm air (no more freezing or feeling uncomfortable) to dry your skin.
Mar walked me through everything and made it super easy. The space was private, beautiful, and felt really high-end.
This time I just did the spray tan, but I’m definitely coming back to try the hydration spray since my skin gets so dry this time of year.
2024- I’m in the best shape of my life at nearly 40 years old thanks to Marlon and Barry at the Cakery.
The Cakery is more than just an incredible workout. It’s a community. I’m a lifer.

I absolutely love this gym! Mar and Barry are the best! I come here every week, and every time I walk in, I feel confident and supported. There’s something so empowering about being surrounded by strong women who lift each other up—literally and figuratively.
The environment is safe, welcoming, and never intimidating. I really appreciate how clean the space always is, and I love that the lights are dim. It makes such a difference not having to feel the insecurities that come with bright, harsh lighting. Instead, I can focus on my workout and feeling good in my body.
Marne does amazing body work! This is the real deal to help release tension and pain to get your workout form back! She had magic hands and I highly recommend seeing her as well!
If you’re looking for a place where you can show up as you are, feel comfortable, and grow stronger every week, this is the spot. Highly recommend!

I joined The Cakery shortly after giving birth to my son, and it has truly been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made for myself. Not only did they help me snatch back and reach my fitness goals, but they taught me weight-training techniques I’d always wanted to learn but never knew where to start.
The coaches go beyond just giving you a great workout—they offer real guidance, accountability, and the kind of support system every new mom dreams of. The workouts are amazing, but what keeps me coming back is the community of strong, uplifting women who have become lifelong friends.
The Cakery isn’t just a gym. It’s my second home, my happy place, my “me” time. It’s a positive, welcoming space where I feel encouraged, empowered, and celebrated every time I walk through the door.
If you’re looking for more than just a workout and if you want results, support, and a community that feels like family, The Cakery is the place. I’m forever grateful for what it’s given me. 💕🏋️♀️

I absolutely love this gym! The vibes and energy here are amazing, it’s always such a motivating place to work out. The trainers, Mar and Barry, are incredible- super knowledgeable, supportive, and they really know how to push you to do your best.
They just got a new spray tan machine too, and I’m obsessed! It’s such a great addition and makes me feel even more confident after my workouts.
Highly recommend this gym to anyone looking for a fun, positive, and results-driven environment!

I’ve been a loyal client of the Cakery for almost 5 years. I’ve tried other gyms, nothing compares to the workout, the vibes, and the female empowerment. Both my mind and body have changed for the better. My workout sessions are often the best part of my day. Barry and Mar are incredible trainers, always pushing us to be stronger and healthier. Bonus: I’ve also made a ton of amazing, strong, like-minded girlfriends.
Next door they also have an open gym and wellness center, including red light therapy, massage, and a new hydrating spray tan! All your fitness, health, and beauty needs in one location.

I joined the Cakery this past July 2024 and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve made. First off, Barry and Mar are genuinely two of the nicest guys. They really care about you and want you to reach your goals. Barry has taught me so much and always provides me with motivation, even on days I don’t feel 100%. They’ve taught me to be stay consistent, have the right mindset, have accountability in myself and to keep moving forward even when you have setbacks. It’s not a fad diet or workout, it’s really a lifestyle you have to maintain. Their energy is unmatched and the workouts are always challenging. I’ve always been going to the gym, but with the Cakery, I have learned to work out smarter and more efficient. I’ve lost 10+ pounds and 6%+ body fat since I joined and I’m only getting started to be the best version of myself!

I have been working out with Mar for about 5 years now and I look forward to it, even at 6am! It’s a personalized workout for just me but have a group of supportive women working out around me. It’s not just the work outs and people that are amazing, but it’s Mar himself. Mar is in a completely different class/level than every trainer I have ever met and worked out with. You just have to watch him in action, once you do, you will know he and this gym is better than the rest.

I joined the Cakery 2 years ago and was the best decision ever. I have struggled with sticking to a program in the past but with Mar and Barry I absolutely love it and look forward to the next session. I have noticed a difference in my body, I feel stronger and more confident in myself. The support and commitment felt from Mar and Barry is incredible.

I found The Cakery on Instagram in the summer of 2023 and then joined the 6 week challenge they did that October. It’s one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Never in my life did I think I would be waking up at 5:30 AM to workout, but now I look forward to the days I go to The Cakery. I look forward to the text from Mar with that days warm up, the workouts Mar and Barry have planned, to them pushing me to be my best, and to the ladies that I see each day I go. The Cakery is a very special place where not only are Mar and Barry inspiring, the gals who go also are. It’s a place of inclusivity, fun, pushing past your limits, laughs, tears, and becoming your best self! 🤍 Looking forward to seeing what 2025 brings with Mar and Barry’s expert guidance.

Without a doubt, the best decision ever! Mar & Barry are the dynamic duo of The Cakery! What sets them apart is their ability to make each workout feel personalized. Whether it’s adjusting my form or teaching me new exercises, they always find ways to make each workout feel challenging, yet fun and rewarding. Their genuine passion for helping people is evident in everything they do. I can’t recommend these two enough!

I've been working out at the Cakery twice a week for just over a year and I love it. Am I legit scared before I go? Yes, every time. Do I need a double espresso before I go? Yes, yes I do. The music is loud enough to mask the cursing under your breath and all the grunting noises you will inevitably make. Mar and Barry will entertain you with their dancing. You will want to dance, too, but you'll be too busy catching your breath.
In all seriousness, though, expect to be pushed, expect to lift heavy, expect to get stronger. Mar and Barry really know their stuff and are incredibly attentive and motivating, and workouts are highly personalized. I have been impressed since day one that they will correct my form and push me out of my comfort zone but will also, if needed, tell me to back off in order to avoid injury. The women who work out at the Cakery are serious about showing up and working hard. There is not an atmosphere of comparison; we are there to work at our own level and cheer each other on.
I initially came to the Cakery to focus on strength and getting back in cardiovascular shape after an unexplained muscle issue put me on a long hiatus from trail running. 6 months into working out at The Cakery, I paced a friend for the last half of her 50 miler and felt so strong every step of the way.

I joined the Cakery a year ago and it has been the best investment I could have done for myself. this gym is a clean facility with top equipment, has great trainers with so much knowledge, and a supportive atmosphere that has motivated me to reach my goals. I came to the Cakery in search of a healthier lifestyle and improve my fitness goals and in return I met an amazing encouraging community of women who I now consider friends. I feel pushed at every class (both physically and mentally), the energy is always high, and the music is always on point. It's the perfect environment to crush your fitness goals. I never thought I would enjoy strength training as much as I do now. Thank you Mar and Barry for always showing up for us!

Mar and Barry are the best! I have tried so many different gyms and nutrition programs over the years and this is the first place that has actually delivered results. I am so appreciative of both of them for their knowledge and expertise that have helped me to reach my fitness goals. The workouts are challenging and fun, but my favorite part is they never repeat. They provide so much variety and every workout is different and effective. The vibe is fun, motivating and challenging. I highly recommend!

I’ve been working out at the Cakery 3x a week for almost a year.

Joining the Cakery is one of the best decisions I have made for myself. After doing at home workouts for 2 years and feeling like I was in a rut, I decided that I wanted to further challenge myself so I reached out to Mar and Barry. From the first workout, I was instantly hooked! Mar and Barry are more than just amazing trainers, they are coaches that give you the right amount of push and motivation to help you get stronger and reach your goals. I have never felt stronger and more confident. It is evident that Mar and Barry put their heart and soul into each and every one of their clients. I love the community at the Cakery as much as I love their workouts. I always look forward to my twice weekly workouts with them!

Marlon and Barry are super fun to work with. They are motivating, knowledgeable, and push you to do better. I’ve felt more confident in working out and I actually have an understanding of my form and how it can affect my body in positive/negative ways. I never feel intimidated or anxious coming into their workout classes. I also love that each class isn’t full of people. They are able to focus on everyone who is there and provide a fun and safe environment!

I don’t even know where to start. Working out at The Cakery with Mar and Barry has changed my life. I have never looked forward to working out and making life changes as much as I do since joining. The insanely fun environment they have created while feeling safe as a woman is priceless. Not only do they create amazing workouts, they lead you through nutrition and health options that are made specifically for you and your needs. I could go on forever about them! Thank you MarFit!!

Joining The Cakery at the end of the year was the best decision I could have made! I've been training with Mar and Barry for nearly two months and absolutely love it. Both trainers are encouraging, knowledgeable, patient, and supportive. You are guaranteed to have a great time with them. The Cakery community is wonderful, filled with women who uplift one another.

Everyone works out really hard which is very motivating. So motivating that it has pushed me to work out just as hard even on my own time. The cakery isn’t just a gym, it’s a lifestyle.

A Life-Changing Gym Experience
Joining The Cakery by Marfit has been a life-changing decision for me. At the age of 42, after years of inconsistency with my health and fitness, I've finally found a gym that I love and am excited to go to. The magic of this place lies in its unique approach to fitness, led by the incredible duo, Marlon and Barry.
The gym's small group sessions are perfectly structured, offering personalized guidance within a communal setting. This balance of individual attention and group dynamics has been pivotal in keeping me motivated and engaged. Marlon and Barry excel at creating a workout experience that's both effective and enjoyable, making it easy to stay committed.
The sense of community here is unlike any other. It's a supportive, encouraging environment that truly feels like a family. The gym's energetic atmosphere is a refreshing change from typical fitness routines, making each session something to look forward to.
Above all, Marlon's dedication to his clients sets The Cakery apart. His care, humor, and commitment extend beyond the gym, offering support and friendship that impacts lives far outside its walls. If you're searching for a place that will change the way you view fitness and community, The Cakery by Marfit is it.
In just four months, my perspective on health and fitness has been transformed. I'm grateful to Marlon, Barry, and the entire community at The Cakery. This isn't just a gym; it's a place where life changes happen.

I joined the Cakery about six months ago. I was ready to step up my game. Cardio alone wasn’t cutting it and I wanted to build muscle. Joining the Cakery was the best decision I could make for myself. First, the group of girls I work out with are the best! Supper supportive, motivating and fun. We’ve created friendships that now extend outside the Cakery. Second, the space itself has everything you need to get a great workout. Lots of equipment, everything is super clean, the music and vibe is fun and energizing. Third, the Cakery has a wellness lounge with a smoothie bar and step classes right next door. I take advantage of the services there and it’s also great! Super convenient. Fourth, and most important, Mar and Barry are literally the best trainers. Super experienced, positive, motivating, silly. No workout is ever the same! They get to know each client personally. They know your goals, strengths, areas for improvement, etc. While no one likes weighing themselves, I now appreciate the information I get regarding my body composition - specifically muscle mass and body fat percentage. I also receive coaching around my diet, specifically my protein intake, which has been a game-changer. Lastly, I have seen results. Weight training has changed my body composition. My body fat is down and I’ve gained muscle. I feel stronger, leaner, I have more energy throughout the day, I sleep better and am more clear minded. I can’t recommend the Cakery more if you’re looking for a lifestyle, mental and physical change. It’s worth it! Thank you Mar and Barry!

I embarked on a remarkable weight loss journey with Marlon, affectionately known as Marfit, and it has been nothing short of life-changing. After the birth of my second son, I struggled with high blood pressure and sleep apnea, feeling the weight of both figurative and literal burdens.
Knowing Marlon for years as a friend, I witnessed his transition into the fitness world and recognized him as the positive force I needed. His infectious energy became the catalyst for my motivation and focus on reclaiming my health.
Marlon's extensive knowledge not only guided me through personalized workouts but also kept me accountable, especially during those challenging 6 am sessions. His commitment to my well-being went beyond the gym, addressing not only the physical but also the mental aspects of my transformation.
What sets Marfit apart is the empowering community he has cultivated. Surrounded by like-minded women on their own journeys, I discovered a support system that extends beyond fitness. These women have become friends I can rely on, creating a network that adds immeasurable value to my life.
In essence, Marfit isn't just about workouts; it's a holistic approach to health, backed by expertise, accountability, and a sense of belonging. My gratitude to Marlon for guiding me towards a healthier, happier version of myself.

What can I say that hasn’t already been said. Mar, Barry and Sahar are a great team! You get a personalized workout in a supportive group environment. They are knowledgeable, caring and impactful. They make sure you’re taken care of if injured and cater the workouts to maximize muscle building. They empower you to put in the work either in the gym or the kitchen (equally as hard for me 😉) and I love the music they play!

I have been going to The Cakery since May 2023. I needed to get back to working out on the equipment - I had only been doing free weights.
Mar and Barry have helped me get stronger - which is what I need for riding. Lost some inches, and clothes are fitting better.
Personalized routines and modify exercises for me as needed.
Great vibe at the gym - everyone is so supportive!
Best trainers around!

I joined on August 2023 and it has been the best decision I’ve made. Since having my boys (5 & 3), I had a hard time getting back to on track, literally tried all kinds of workouts but it wasn’t consistent nor motivating enough. I was also feeling down most of the time struggling to find a balance between work while being a mom, while also taking care of myself. It wasn’t until I joined the Cakery that I immediately started seeing changes, not only on my body, but mental as well. I finally feel I can prioritize myself by dedicating time to do something I’ve now love. I’ve become stronger, more energetic and happy. Barry and Marlon really care for you and they challenge you every week! Thank you Mar and Barry for all you do for us, for welcoming me into the MarFit family and for challenging us to become our best self! If you ever get the opportunity to join the Cakery, DO IT! You won’t regret it.

I started training with Mar and Barry in March 2023 after spending the fast few years mostly working out from home. I didn’t realize how much social interaction I was craving and what a huge motivation working out in a small group environment could be. Mar and Barry are amazing at teaching you proper form, keeping you challenged while also being huge goofballs (added ab workout from the laughs). The workouts are always different and customized to your own personal level and goals but always super challenging. I’ve never felt stronger in both body and mind. Added bonus is the amazing community of inspiring women (and sprinkle of men) at Marfit. Best investment 100%!!!

As a working parent, juggling multiple responsibilities often left me neglecting myself. However, recognizing the need to prioritize self-care, I decided to help. Mar & Barry guidance and support greatly contributed to my progress.
Although some of the sessions were intense, I felt so accomplished. My self-confidence has improved, and I have learned effective work out techniques and mental support.
Mar/Barry’s commitment has made a significant positive impact on my growth, and I am grateful for the support.

I joined the Cakery about a month ago now and it was honestly the best decision I made for myself in a long time.
Mar, Barry and the Marfit community is truly one of a kind! From day one the support and push you get from everyone is everything! You’re not just working out your gaining knowledge when it comes to correct form, breathing and diet. Best believe though they will PUSH you to your limits (in the best way!) and you will gain both physical and mental strength here!
As mentioned, it’s only been a month and I have already received so many compliments on how much my body has changed…. My confidence is back and I look forward to seeing how the rest of my fitness journey with the Cakery will unfold!

I started February 2023 with Mar and Barry. I was 3 months postpartum with baby #4. I felt so overwhelmed with how far I had to go to get back in shape. But Mar and Barry gave me the confidence, support, and constant push to keep going. Over time it no longer had to do with how much weight I had lost. I quickly realized how much I had gained. I gained confidence, strength, health, and most importantly a community of incredible women. Mar and Barry have truly created something wonderful at the Cakery, and if you ever have the opportunity to become a part of the Cakery family, don’t hesitate. Hard workouts filled with harder laughs. Thank you Mar and Barry, you mean so much to me and I’m grateful for you both !

I joined this gym as part of a six week nutrition/fitness plan. From the moment I met Sahar and Marlon I knew I had made the right decision:
I could go on forever but if you struggle with feeling unmotivated or unsure about where to start schedule a meeting!!! Don’t wait!
One of my biggest concerns with weight training has been the fear of injury and both Mar and Barry are always attentive and proactive about correcting improper form. Everyone was very friendly and encouraging so I didn’t feel intimidated going.

Absolutely love working out here the vibe is amazing. My workouts are definitely personalized for my goals (some of which I didn’t even know I had! Lol). Mar and Barry are huge support at making sure I’m doing things safely and walking me through how to use each piece of equipment. I’ve worked out my whole life, but not like this. I feel like the coaches are highly educated on building the body you are looking for. I’m much healthier than when I started without a strict diet on board. How do I know? As part of my membership they have an in body machine and it tracks my numbers as far as muscle, water weight, BMI the whole shebang. This keeps me aware of how what im doing each week is effecting my body. The gym and equipment are kept extremely clean and doesn’t smell like a gym (you all know what I’m talking about).if you are looking for the equivalent to a personal trainer in a gym upbeat environment this is for you! I would highly recommend the cakery to any of my friends.

I joined Cakery at 9 months post partum, in june 2022. It was one of the best decisions i could have made for myself in terms of health and fitness, both as a first time mom but also just in general. My body composition is now better than it was pre-pregnancy, and i have lost 17lbs since joining. I love and look forward to every single workout! I feel amazing knowing how much i am pushing myself with the resistance training and conditioning i am getting three days a week at the Cakery. Mar, Barry and CJ (on the step fusion side) are incomparably skilled, motivating, and fun. Dont look any further, this place is the best.

I have been training with Mar since July of this year. The results just from training with him three days a week (and putting more effort into my nutrition) have been incredible! The weight has melted off (20 lbs), I'm gaining muscle and losing body fat. Mar's approach, energy/vibe, and dedication to his clients is unmatched. The women I train with are also all so great--it is a very welcoming and encouraging environment. I was hesitant to start at first because I was so out of shape, but am so glad I pulled the trigger because training with Mar has literally changed my life. You will not find a better trainer than Mar!

He offers personalized training that suits by body and active lifestyle. Mar and his team are very motivating and encouraging even when I do not feel my best.

I started with Mar and Barry a year and a half ago. I gained weight over covid and during my first semester of nursing school and needed some motivation and accountability. I don’t regret it. I LOVE going to my workouts. I look forward to them. No matter how sore i am the next day. I have never regretted going even on days i felt like i didn’t want to or i wasn’t feeling my best. When i get to the cakery i am able to ignore any and every outside distraction and just have fun and be active. Thank you to mar and Barry for making me feel motivated, strong, and confident. No matter how much i weigh in at, as long as i work hard and continue to progress in my strength i am grateful U have made friends with some amazing men and women. I will forever be a client and so grateful to be apart of this squad.

Mar and Barry are the most encouraging and motivating trainers. They care probably more than I do sometimes and it shows through their passion and commitment to their clients everyday.

I knew Mar when he was training his clients out of golds gym more than 5 years ago . I had not worked out in about 3 years when I reached out to Mar Fit . I was super depressed , wanted to start working out again but needed direction and motivation. The pandemic hit and that’s when I sent Mar DM he had me come in to chat a couple days later . I’ve now been training at the Cakery for 1 year and it has literally helped tremendously with my mental health . I showed up 2 days per week and let me tell you how wonderful I feel . I can’t thank Mar and Berry enough for being my friend and guiding me back to Health. I love my little family at the Cakery … I promise they won’t disappoint..

I love that it is a family feel environment, every workout is different, always new equipment coming in and they adjust to ensure that you are safely getting the best workout. The Cakery has been my HAPPY place for the last year and I owe that all to Mar and Barry.

The Cakery by Marfit is a lifestyle…it’s more than a “work out”. The training is hard core with amazing results in a fun, uplifting and positive setting. Mar is a true professional and really care about your overall health and fitness. Love coming to get my “sweat on” at The Cakery by Mar. Give it a try, you will not be disappointed!

What can I say...I LOVE the Cakery. I've tried every workout, every gym, every program imaginable and this is by far the best one, hands down. Mar and Barry are amazing at tailoring workouts to maximize results for each person. I'm so grateful I found them and this program. If there were 10 stars, I'd give them that!

Mar is the best trainer I’ve ever worked out with. Ive had 3 kids and this is the strongest and most toned I’ve been. The cakery is super clean and he always plays great music and the vibe is dope. If you aren’t working out here, you should be 😉.

I’ve been working out with Marlon on and off for the last ten years. The Cakery is by far the best place he has trained and the only place I’ve been able to be consistent with workouts. The location is so so cute but also practical for working out. I love the sense of community with the other women and all the friendly competitions we do throughout the year.
The weekend Cake Pop classes are my favorite way to supplement my 1x per week membership.
If you’re looking for a fun place to get an effective workout, you need to try The Cakery!

The Cakery by Marfit has by far been the sweetest addition to my life!! I am so happy to call The Cakery my gym and to be a part of the MARFIT fam! From the moment you walk into this beautifully put together gym you feel the vibe that Marlon has created. The energy is super fun and welcoming. The equipment is new. The flow is perfection. The gym is clean and constantly updated. Marlon and Barry create such a positive space to workout in and are constantly motivating and pushing you harder. The changes I have seen in the last 5 months are amazing! The girly and chic details make it even sweeter, what girl doesn’t want a pink wall to take a selfie with?! .. I could on and on, but you’ll have to see for yourself! You won’t regret indulging in The Cakery!

Mar is the absolute BEST! Fun, funny, motivating and knowledgeable. You will never encounter a better trainer. The energy he brings is infectious and I truly look forward to every workout. He really knows what he is doing and every workout is new/different. Mar focuses on each client individually and tailors each workout based on what each person needs. Music is on point and the Cakery is SUPER clean, very important! Most importantly he pushes you to be your best, and results show. Cannot say enough good things! I'll never cheat on Marfit!

Cakery is an amazing workout with amazing trainers. If your looking to change your workout routine and challenge your body at any fitness level give Cakery a try. Be careful you might get addicted. Mar and Berry are not only amazing trainers but emotional motivators as well. When I first started I put my fitness last in my life. Like most parents do. Feeling sluggish, tired and depressed about the way my body looked after lining up last in my daily routine. Cakery helped me prioritize me without feeling guilty or taking away from my family. The workout you get in just one hour is far better than any you would do on your own. It deserves more than five stars!

So thankful to be referred to The Cakery by Marfit. I started training with the group back in November and felt welcome and at home from day one. Every workout is challenging! The atmosphere is positive with the cutest decor. I highly recommend this place to anyone trying to get in shape or maintain their fitness lifestyle. You won't be disappointed!

I’ve been training with Mar for about 7 months and honestly he is not just an amazing, motivational trainer but he has one of the biggest personalities and has become a friend! This is the cutest gym in NorCal from the lights, pink weights, music, to the overall girly decor to have you feeling and looking cute while baking your cakes ;) Mar & Barry make the best team and I’m lucky to be apart of the Cakery family!

I've been training at Marfit for just over a year! Dedicating time to workout with a trainer is the best decision I've ever made! I enjoy the Cakery because big enough to be able to focus on my workouts and spread out, there's an outdoor area for additional cardio/TRX, has the right machines to make the time fly by (while making me sore at the same time), and its clean! I do group sessions - but they feel like 1:1s and I always walk away satisfied. As soon as I walk in, my heart rate is up and I'm being pushed to do the best I can - form, strength, flexibility, reps, toning, abs. I've played sports and lifted weight my whole life until kids so it's nice to not have to think about my workouts (especially when taking a break from a busy workday to get a workout in)! I've set some goals for myself so we discuss nutrition and protein intake to build muscle and lose fat vs. losing weight. Everyones goals are different - but mine are to be strong and fit!

The Cakery is just what I needed. Besides the fact that this place is beyond gorgeous, totally elegant with a rose wall and chandelier (in a gym, um yes it’s amazing) Mar and Barry are excellent trainers who really push you to get results. After only two weeks I had lost 2.5% body fat and I feel soo good to be on my way to my best self. Energy in a place is everything, and the Cakery beams positive and fun vibes and my only regret is I didn’t join sooner.

Highly recommend! I'm a huge fan of workout classes and need to be in an environment that pushes me. I was never a fan of lifting weights so I was hesitant at first. I have to say I never dread going to Marfit. Marlon creates such a fun, motivating environment for his clients. I love seeing my body change and gain more muscle. Don't think twice about joining the Cakery!

The Cakery is my all time favorite place to work out and I’ve been to many gyms. Marlon makes the workouts fun, he’s extremely clean so the equipment is always pristine & he helps you get results you’re looking for fast. Each workout is totally different so your body doesn’t acclimate. I have A few injuries and he helps me find alternatives so I work my entire body without hurting. The energy in the gym is always positive and you feel like you’re with friends having fun. I’m addicted!! Right now it’s closed due to Covid and I’m looking forward to going back as soon as possible!! I need the push from Mar!!! Love this place!!!!

I’ve been training at The Cakery for about 4 months now and I LOVE it! I’ve seen such a noticeable difference in my body and mood since I started. I go twice a week, and every session is always different - I do a mix of weight training and conditioning, all tailored to my goals. Mar and Barry are both so motivating, they keep me accountable and they make the sessions so fun. I never used to look forward to working out until joining here. This place is a GAME CHANGER!

I started training with Marfit and immediately started to see results. He knows what he is doing! He designs personalized workouts that will give YOU the results you want to see. I’m a busy person so I need to make the most of my workout time. Every second I’m in the gym is maximized and I leave feeling like I accomplished something. The hour flies by! I LOVE his energy and his passion to transform his clients. This is not a cookie-cutter group exercise — this is the real deal, tailored to fit your needs. He truly is MAR-mazing and you WILL see results.

I have been going to Marlon for 7 years now. He has completely changed my body not once, but TWICE (hey we all slip into bad habits sometimes). Marlon and the Cakery come with the approach of not just fitness, but mindset. Positive mindset that sets you up for success. They can alter workouts that fit your body’s needs and limitations. Highly recommend for anyone that serious about getting their body back!

If you want to change more than just your body this is the place for you..it will change your life!! Mar is an unbelievable trainer and even a better human! His positive attitude and energy permeate the workouts (which are sooo fun and constantly changing) and you always leave the Cakery feeling better than when you arrive. I cannot say enough about Mar and how hard he works for his clients, he tailors his workouts to the individual in order to help you meet your goals, and he is always there if you, even outside of the gym! He is simply the best!!!!

The Cakery is absolutely adorable and as soon as you walk in you feel the energy plus Mar is thee BEST! He is fun loving but does mean business and will help you both physically and mentally. Relocating to the bay area I did not know many people and Mar has helped me connect to other woman and feel apart of a community. He truly has created something special and would highly highly recommend anyone and everyone to experience the Cakery!!!! Its truly unique and one of a kind and Mar is just wonderful!

Love Marfit!!!! Yes the cakery is clean and new and amazing to look at with up to date equipment but Mar is what makes Marfit at the cakery worth going to. He motivates you to keep going, is honest when you need to hear it, and spreads positivity. I like working out there because he customizes the workout to my body needs. He’s committed to your progress just as much as you are. Lucky to be part of the Marfit fam.

I’ve been training with Marlon since November and couldn’t be happier. He has the best vibes, he is positive, motivating, enthusiastic, and truly makes everyone feel comfortable in his presence. The facility is clean, chic, beautiful. A boutique style gym with state of the art equipment. His workouts are unlike anything I’ve done and I have seen the biggest changes and improvements in my body working out with him. I recommend him to anyone and everyone who has the opportunity to be a part of the MARFIT family. It truly is a lifestyle and an awesome one.

Marlon is very straight to point trainer from the start. My first time meeting him he asked what my diet was like and what I wanted to accomplish. My first training session was no joke, he means business and is going to get you in shape. Be prepared for intense but effective workouts, targeted to your fitness goals.

I started training with Marlon a little over a year ago and I couldn’t have made a better choice by choosing Marlon to be my trainer. Marlon is not only a personal trainer, he is your friend, your therapist, and your cheerleader. Marlon is the most positive person I know and his presents brings joy and happiness into a room. When I first started my workout journey, I started off at 157lbs and now I’m at 140lbs. I have so much more confidence in myself and I’m able to look and feel good about myself. The Cakery is the cutest gym in the Bay Area!

Where do I begin.. I’ve tried every gym & workout in the book. Large, small, OT, etc. I Never got to know the trainers, they never really got to know me, my personal goals or my biggest challenges. They would quickly fizzle out & I would once again lose motivation. I was nervous stepping back into the gym in the worst shape I have been in, dreading the process but knew I needed a big change. Then, along came Mar. He has taken the time to understand me, know my biggest roadblocks in my personal life, hold me accountable for my eating habits and just completely helped me develop a new lifestyle. This isn’t a 1 hour workout, it’s a lifestyle, it’s a community and a support system. This is the first time I’ve been able to commit to a program and not only commit but ADD days because I just can’t get enough! This is what I look forward to throughout my week. His clients are all amazing, they come from all areas, all different body types and it’s an extremely fun and inviting environment. I tell everyone I care about that they should be going to Mar. If you’re ready to see changes, measurable progress and challenge yourself while having fun then join this gym. 10 stars, seriously!

I'm super grateful to be a part of the Marfit team and was lucky enough to train here before the second shutdown. The Cakery offers group fitness training and you're usually paired with maybe 3 to 4 other people. I love it because it's intimate and I'm still able to get some 1:1 time. Another thing I love is that the training isn't a "one fits all" approach. Mar customizes your workout depending on your goals, problem areas, and etc. As for me, we solely focus on strength training and he rarely has me do cardio.
Also, did I mention how clean and adorable this space is? The plates are pink and it resembles a bakery... I mean this is where cakes are baked daily (and it doesn't even have to be your birthday).

He takes the time to understand what you are striving for, and he WILL get you there and further, while having fun. Training sessions are intense for every level athlete, and you will love the diverse workout combinations. I will definitely be continuing my sessions with Marlon. Hope to see you there!

I’ve been training with Marfit for about a year now. It’s the best exercise routine I’ve ever had! My favorite quality in him is that he genuinely cares about every single client- he pushes us to be our best, and provides a comfortable/supportive atmosphere at the same time. While it’s a group training environment, you always get his full attention and focus through the entire hour.
Mar is extremely personable, driven, and wants everyone to feel their best! Whether you’re new to the gym or already advanced, he has something to offer you. Highly recommend.
