REAL WORLD RESULTS
TESTIMONIALS:
“When I started training with Mark, I was really nervous about personal training. I wasn’t sure I was strong enough or could keep up and I was afraid that I wouldn’t be able to catch on. The reality is that I wasn’t strong and I didn’t catch on but it didn’t matter – Mark was patient and the best cheerleader I could have hoped for. He took the time to understand my fears and goals and aches and pains and designed a program that worked for me. He pushed me but in a way he knew wouldn’t break me, physically or emotionally. I got much fitter and stronger and now I do things at the gym I never could have imagined and never would have challenged myself to do. Mark is a great trainer and also an excellent listener and a friend.”
– Susan
“Training with Mark for the past 3.5 years has been enormously instrumental in improving my quality of life – physically and mentally. I hate to work out, but I hate more to miss. Mark motivates by pushing me above what I could ever have imagined but not so much that it has ever stopped me from returning to his workout. He is constantly educating himself with nutrition, physical fitness, yoga, and evolving body and mind wellness information. He is patient and observant and does not let me get away with anything. I am stronger than I ever thought possible and it is truly due to Mark’s dedication and training. I am very grateful.”
– Marissa
“I thoroughly enjoyed my training sessions with Mark. He is a professional who concerns himself with the holistic approach to health. He asked appropriate questions before we got started about my goals and any concerns I had. His workouts were demanding yet realistic for my goals. His approach is safety first. I appreciated the importance Mark placed on stretching before and after as well as the role good nutrition plays in a training regimen. Mark is first-class !!”
– Robin
“Mark is an attentive, engaging and just a really great trainer. Having worked him for over two years, he continues to tailor and refine my workouts depending on my needs (e.g. training for an event, injury or other personal goals). He’s been instrumental in helping me transform and maintain my strength and body composition. He was also part of my “team” instrumental in helping me losing 40 lbs. When I was training for the NYC Half Marathon, he customized my workouts to compliment my short and long runs. He encouraged me as well to try trail running and took my workout into the trails to prepare for a trail race. He even introduced me to paddle boarding and it has become a new summer favorite activity. Most recently, he introduced me to power lifting and I have enjoyed that journey as well. When I’ve been injured training for an event, Mark always listened and adjusted my workouts to help compliment recovery. Over the years, I have collected from Mark a range of workouts options and other resources that I continue to use on my own.”
