Mark is the best trainer I have worked with. He is very innovative and challenging. He will encourage you to push beyond your limitations. He is always on time and never lazy. He will surpass your expectations.

I am NOT a "natural" runner, but Mark has time and time again pushed me to perform at my best. He is a great motivator and excellent trainer! There has been many times that he's run right along side me and pushed me through those last few strides when I wanted to give up. Participating in Mark's running classes in particular enabled me to go from not being able to run even a quarter-mile to completing my first 10K (running the whole thing) and now having a half-marathon as a goal. That's all a huge deal for me and I know I wouldn't have even considered these things for myself had it not been for Mark's skill and motivation!

I personally have had the pleasure of getting to know Mark and his facility over the last several months. I am more than happy with his motivation and the diversity of the training methods offerred. Being a financial professional, it can be tough to find the time and energy to get in a good exercise routine. Marks facility is an exceptional solution to this. Go see for yourself! - Omar F.

Mark is a great trainer. I have done the running classes and some of the evening classes with Mark. It's always a challenge and I never leave without feeling exhaused and waking up sore. I highly recommend Mark for training.
