I look forward to my Skype training with Marc. In my 3-day a week program, Marc keeps the exercises varied between weights, pilates, balance, yoga, etc. I am never bored with every session being uniquely different! Marc's positive attitude keeps me focused. I also recently learned that since I began my workout program with Marc over a year ago, my bone density has actually improved! My doctor, Marc, and I were very pleased! I would highly recommend him for a complete excellent fitness regimen.

Marc:
You have some incredibly great reviews here. I have not personally trained with you but I do receive your emails. I am into fitness and nutrition as well. I am inspired by your motivation & determination and love your fitness concept via the computer . I remember all those years ago at Moravian and what a supportive good friend you were. Hats of to you and your success.

It is really my pleasure to write this review. I feel I found a treasure when I found Marc! He is so much more than a trainer. I believe he is truly a "Physical Health Professional".
He has been training myself and my daughter for the past couple of months. My daughter has scoliosis and has a history of experiencing pain whenever she used to exercise. Since she started working with Marc she has been pain free. He is teaching her how to train one side of her body different than the other depending on which side is concave or convex.
If you are looking for someone with a genuine insight into health, fitness and well being, you have found your Guru----Marc Thompson!
