PERSONAL TRAINING IN SARRIÀ-SANT GERVASI
Personalised strength training at your home for English-speaking families and residents in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi, Barcelona.
At-home sessions | English-speaking coaches | Equipment consultation included | Serving Barcelona since 2014
PERSONAL TRAINING DESIGNED AROUND WORK AND FAMILY LIFE
Life in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi is full. Work, family, social plans - your time is already spoken for.
Your training should fit into your schedule, not compete with it.
We deliver sessions at your home and structured around your week, so that you can stay strong, energised and consistent without adding pressure.
It’s not just about how you look. It is about having the energy, focus and presence to show up at your best, every day.
TRAINING DESIGNED FOR YOUR LIFESTYLE
Sarrià-Sant Gervasi residents have particular routines - school drop-offs and pick-ups, international calls, family commitments that shift from week to week. We design your training around all of it.
Complete privacy and convenience
Your trainer arrives at your home on time, delivers a fully tailored session and leaves you to get on with your day. Train, shower and back to life. There’s no time lost travelling to a gym, no wasted energy attempting to plan a workout, no waiting for equipment and no adjusting your morning around someone else’s timetable.
Equipment consultation
Most homes in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi have space for effective training equipment, but knowing what to purchase requires expertise. We consult on exactly which equipment suits your goals, available space and budget. We recommend purchases progressively as your program develops.
Flexible scheduling around family life
Sessions around the school runs, midday training while the house is quiet, evening slots once the children are settled. We work around your calendar, not the other way around. When school holidays shift your routine, your training adapts with it.
Continuity when life gets busy
Family holidays, work travel and disrupted weeks don’t have to interrupt your progress. Online sessions maintain momentum during travel or busy periods. Your program stays consistent regardless of where life takes you that week. One trainer, one plan, continuous progress.
OUR SARRIÀ-SANT GERVASI CLIENTS
We work with English-speaking residents across Sarrià-Sant Gervasi who value their health but need training that fits their life, not the other way around.
Parents with young children
The early years are physically demanding and often leave little time for yourself. Strength training can help you keep up with your children’s energy, improve how your body handles the constant bending and lifting and give you a focused hour that’s entirely yours. Sessions fit around nursery and school hours.
Empty nesters and retirees
Maintaining lean muscle, balance and mobility becomes increasingly important with age. Strength training helps slow the natural decline in muscle mass that often accelerates after 50, supporting independence, energy and confidence for years to come. Our programming adapts to your body’s needs at every stage.
Parents with teenagers
As children become more independent, many parents find that this is the moment they can finally invest in their own health. Stiffness, wavering energy and a body that doesn’t feel as capable as it once did - these are common starting points. Our progressive programming addresses each one, sustainably and at the right pace for you.
International professionals
Sarrià-Sant Gervasi attracts professionals who value the neighbourhood’s serenity while managing demanding careers. Home sessions before work or during lunch eliminate commute time entirely and online sessions keep training consistent during business travel.
Privacy-conscious residents
For those who prefer their training routine remains entirely private, home sessions offer something a gym simply can’t - complete focus without distractions, self-consciousness or a public setting. Many of our clients find they progress faster as a result.
SYSTEMATIC STRENGTH DEVELOPMENT
Our methodology remains consistent regardless of location. What changes is the equipment and environment, not the quality of our coaching or programming.
Comprehensive assessment
Thorough evaluation of your movement patterns, strength baselines, mobility limitations, previous training history and current lifestyle. This isn’t a generic questionnaire, it’s an honest conversation about where you are and what’s realistic given your unique circumstances.
Progressive programming
Each session builds purposefully on the one before. Weights increase gradually, movement complexity develops over time and your body adapts at a pace that’s sustainable rather than overwhelming. Smart programming and precision movement, designed specifically for you.
Technical
precision
Form matters more than load. Your trainer prioritises movement quality, providing real-time feedback and corrections throughout every session. This focus means you develop strength safely while building movement patterns that transfer directly to your daily life.
Lifestyle
integration
We account for family schedules, high-stress periods, sleep quality and nutrition. Your program adapts to life’s realities. We can offer practical meal-timing strategies and guidance on nutrition to support your training routine without adding complexity.
BUILDING YOUR HOME TRAINING SPACE
One advantage of training at home is access to your own equipment, available whenever you choose to use it. We can provide guidance on creating an effective training space within your residence.
What we recommend
Based on your goals and available space, we advise on specific equipment: dumbbells, kettlebells, resistance bands, benches and barbells where appropriate. We specify exactly what suits your program so nothing goes unused.
Space planning
Homes in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi vary from apartments near Via Augusta to houses with private gardens close to Collserola. We assess your space and recommend setups that work within your environment, whether that’s a spare room, terrace or garage.
Phased investment
We recommend purchases based on your program needs, adding pieces as your training evolves. There’s no pressure to invest in everything at once.
Ongoing guidance
As your strength develops, equipment needs can change. We continue advising on small additions and adjustments throughout our work together.
MARTIN EBNER
Martin founded Ebylife in 2014 after recognising that Barcelona’s international community needed professional, English-speaking training guidance without the barriers of language or commercial gym culture.
With over a decade of experience and hundreds of satisfied clients, Martin has developed particular expertise working with families and busy residents who value their health but need training that respects their time. He understands the demands of managing a household, a career and a social life in a city where most gym instruction happens in Spanish.
Martin’s approach emphasises sustainable strength development over quick fixes. Rather than promising dramatic results, he develops programs that fit realistically within your life while delivering real results that last. Martin aims to create such a positive experience with his clients that training becomes a non-negotiable part of their routine.
Martin holds ACE Level-3 and ENADE Level-3 certifications alongside a British Red Cross First Aid at Work qualification.
The Ebylife team
Martin leads a small team of qualified English-speaking trainers. All hold international certifications, prioritise safety and follow his systematic programming principles. You train consistently with the same coach, building rapport and understanding as you progress.

COMMON QUESTIONS
Do you train at gyms in Sarrià-Sant Gervasi?
No. All training in this area takes place at your home. This ensures complete convenience, eliminates travel time and means your training fits seamlessly around family and work commitments.
What equipment do I need at home?
Nothing to start with. We can bring functional equipment for your initial sessions. For ongoing training, we provide personalised recommendations on building a home setup suited to your goals, space and budget. Equipment consultation is included as part of our service and purchases can be phased as your program develops.
How quickly can I start?
Start times vary depending on current availability. After your initial enquiry, we’ll let you know what the timeline looks like. Some periods have immediate availability, others may require a short wait.
Do I need to commit long-term?
No contracts or long-term commitment required. Most clients train two to three times per week and find that consistency over months delivers the best results, but you train at a frequency that suits your routine and budget.
Can I train while travelling?
Yes. We offer online sessions to maintain your program during holidays, work travel or any week where an in-person session isn’t practical. Your trainer adapts workouts to whatever equipment and space you have available. One program, continuous progress.
Is home training as effective as training at a gym?
Yes. Your program follows the same structured progression regardless of setting. Many of our most successful long-term clients train exclusively at home. The quality of coaching and your consistency matter far more than the training environment.
