OUR STORY

Maria Meckbach started Sjövillan Exercise in 2005 in Hammarby Sjöstad. Maria's ambition was to be able to offer a place where everyone could feel welcome regardless of training background. The premises in Hammarby Sjöstad were very beautiful and located right by the water. In 2014, Maria received an offer to start a training facility in Solna with a hotel and restaurant as neighbors. Since the premises in Hammarby Sjöstad had become too small and were not adapted to conduct training in, Maria decided to accept. In January 2015, Maria opened Meckbach Training in Solna and Sjövillan Exercise then changed its name to Meckbach Training. Her first assignment was to help AIK men's (football) with physical training. AIK football was the first to train in the premises in Solna. Some members from Sjöstad chose to continue training with us, which means that some have been members of Meckbach Training for almost 18 years. For us, there are three guiding principles that we from Meckbach always carry with us and have always carried with us and they are: Humility, empathy and focusing on the individual. Thank you for taking the time to read our story.
