OUR WARRIORS

Mari.jpg

MEET MARIÉ

FOUNDER & HEAD COACH

Marié has walked through darkness, and chose to rise. When life tested every piece of her strength, she stepped into the gym and discovered something life-changing: movement could rebuild what the world tried to break. It saved her life and ignited a purpose that burns brightly in everything she does.

 

What began as survival transformed into passion. She committed herself to learning, growing, and becoming the kind of coach who could lead women into their own breakthroughs. She earned her Personal Trainer certification, then specialised further, qualifying to train pregnant and postpartum women, mastering Pilates and Reformer, and earning her HYROX coaching credentials.

 

Marié’s mission is powerful: to build women who are strong in every way, physically, mentally, and emotionally. She knows firsthand that strength is not only measured in muscle, but in courage, confidence, and the choice to rise again. She has witnessed countless women transform, and she wanted more for them. A home where safety, strength, and sisterhood collide. A space where every woman walks in unsure… and walks out unstoppable.

​

That vision became Armher.

​

And Marié continues to lead us forward, proof that warriors are not born; they are forged. She is proof of what happens when a woman chooses to fight for her future. Her story is strength, and she teaches others to write their own.

 

Marié doesn’t just build warriors. She becomes one every day.

​

Marié is a Qualified Trainer in:  Group training, Personal training, Boxing, Pre-natal & Postpartum, Pilates, Pilates Reformer & HYROX.

MEET ILKE

COACH

Ilke is a woman whose kindness and grace touch everyone she meets. She radiates joy and finds true happiness in seeing others grow stronger and rise into the best versions of themselves.

​

Her empathy creates a safe space for every woman who steps onto the floor. She understands the battles that are unseen, the ones fought quietly, courageously, and she stands beside others through their breakthroughs and victories.

​

Her patience, her encouragement, and her heart reflect the true teachings of the Bible, a love that is gentle, steadfast, and transformative. With a spirit that seeks to motivate, nurture, and learn, Ilke inspires us all to approach life with hope, compassion, and the courage to grow.

​

She is a warrior becoming stronger, and helping others do the same.

​
