About The Fit Cellar

​Private coaching for strength that shows up in real life.
 

I’m Ken Marino, founder of The Fit Cellar — a private neighborhood training studio built for people who want to stay strong, capable, and independent as they age.

I’ve been active my entire life — from neighborhood sports and strength training to endurance events and triathlons. But in recent years, I’ve experienced the other side of training firsthand: recovering from a total shoulder replacement and a major foot reconstruction.
 

Those experiences changed how I think about strength.

They reinforced what truly matters — health span.
Not just how long you live, but how well you move, feel, and function along the way.
 

Today, I’m a NASM-certified personal trainer specializing in safe, effective strength training for adults of all ages, with a particular focus on men and women who want real results without the noise, pressure, or intimidation of a big gym.
 

At The Fit Cellar, training is:

• Form-first and individualized — built around your body, history, and goals

• Focused on strength, balance, and mobility that support everyday life

• Progress-driven, with clear benchmarks so you can see improvement

• Calm and private — no crowds, no waiting, no interruptions
   

Before becoming a trainer, I spent decades in a corporate career coaching and supporting more than 800 people — helping them stay motivated, accountable, and confident in their growth. That same approach guides my work today.
 

My role is simple:

• Understand your health history and goals

• Design a program that fits your life

• Teach proper form to reduce injury risk

• Help you build strength you can rely on — now and for years to come
   

If you’re looking for a thoughtful, supportive approach to strength training — one that respects where you are and helps you move forward with confidence — you’re in the right place.
