Mark is an amazing trainer with the right personality balance of kind and encouraging but also tough. He will take no mercy on you! He seems to know what my body is capable of better than myself. Weight lifting has been the best way to improve my body and fitness. After only a month I can already see changes in my shape and strength. Highly recommend!

Mark is such a great trainer! I like his gym because he welcomes all ages and fitness levels. He assesses your fitness goals and makes sure to tailor your workout program appropriately.
