Why train outside?

Fresh air makes an hour feel shorter. Grass is kinder to your joints than rubber floors. And a sunrise over the lake beats a wall of mirrors every time.

  • Every level welcome. Each exercise has an easier and a harder version, so beginners and marathoners train side by side.
  • Small groups, max 8. Enough energy to push you, few enough people for real coaching on every rep.
  • All the gear comes with me. Bring water and a towel. Kettlebells, bands and mats are in the van.
  • Rain plan included. Covered pavilions on wet days, and a live session online when storms roll in.

Portrait of coach Maren Cole tying her hair back before training

Hi, I am Maren.

I spent six years coaching in a basement gym before I carried my kettlebells into Zilker Park one spring morning. I never went back inside.

I am a certified strength coach with nine years of experience, and I care about three things: good technique, steady progress and sessions you actually look forward to. Most of my clients are busy parents, nurses on shift work and people who never liked gyms.

From the crew

I deadlifted my own body weight at 52. My kids made me a poster.

Denise, Park Crew since 2023

Night shifts wrecked my back. Eight weeks of mobility work and I sleep through again.

Rafael, One-on-One

The only workout I have never skipped. Nobody wants to miss the sunrise.

Priya, Crew Plus

Your first session is on me.

Tell me a little about yourself and pick a park. I will reply within a day to set a time, talk through any injuries and make sure you feel at home from the first rep.
