Testimonials

  • 'Mark helped me recover, build muscle and lose 20kg' "I've been working with Mark now for about 3 years. During that time we've covered a number of different programmes, including weight loss, hypertrophy and rehab after a shoulder injury.

    Mark has helped me to lose 20kg over 6 months and rehab my shoulder during the same period. He's been very reliable and good inspiration based on his own personal journey.

    Always reliable and trustworthy and a great bloke, which is pretty important considering the amount of time you spend in the gym/working out."
    Jay Patel - Radlett
  • 'I can definitely say that Mark has helped me achieve my goals' "About 6 months ago, I needed to lose weight and wanted to improve my body shape. I had never worked out in a gym environment before, so I looked at a number of PT's for guidance. Mark's profile stood out - I instantly related to his own amazing transformation and realised that he had all the experiences to understand my own journey. After taking the time to understand my motivations, general health, diet and activity levels, Mark tailored a program to suit my individual requirements.

    Having lost 16kg (2.5 stone), toned up and improved my health and general well-being dramatically, I can definitely say that Mark has helped me achieve my goals. From understanding gym equipment, the right exercise and the correct form, to the importance of diet, discipline and understanding your body - my own knowledge has increased exponentially.

    Couple all of the above with an easy-going nature and a 'firm but fair & fun' attitude, Mark is a great guy to train with.

    Let's put it this way - if you fail with Mark, it won't be down to him!"
    Graham Anderson - Harpenden
  • 'Highly recommend – Mark's training made my Kilimanjaro trek a success!' "Working with Mark was amazing in preparing me for climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in October. Mark was able to focus on the areas that would best help me trek hours at a time carrying all the required equipment and gear.

    Cannot thank him enough for making the trip easier in relation to having not prepared or not having trained specific areas that definitely assisted the entire journey.

    Not only that, but the life chats in between were pretty great too. Highly recommend Mark for helping anyone physically or mentally with their journeys."
    Chris Ashcroft - St Albans
  • 'I am so pleased with my results' "Mark has been a committed, encouraging and great personal trainer throughout. He is responsive to my individual abilities and totally understands what I want to achieve. Mark has helped me improve my overall strength, endurance and muscle tone and I am so pleased with my results. He has a varied and individually written plan for every session and imparts lots of valuable knowledge about the body, health, nutrition and as life coach is very positive and supportive.

    Mark is focused, respectful and a very approachable PT who I would highly recommend on your health and fitness journey because he genuinely understands having been through his own experiences. He understands the obstacles, barriers everyone can face and provides the motivation and support needed. Thanks Mark!"
    Manju Anand - Watford
  • 'I felt a noticeable improvement in my health and fitness' "I started working with Mark after several years of not having done any exercise. I was also at the tail end of recovering from a post viral infection, which resulted in fatigue and dizziness. After just a few weeks, I felt a noticeable improvement in my health and fitness. Mark had the perfect balance of understanding my situation, but equally not treating me like someone who was 'unwell' or 'unfit' and still pushing me to achieve what I am capable of.

    In the initial taster session, Mark spent a lot of time and effort to fully understand my specific goals. I am really pleased with the changes that I can see in my physique in line with these goals and am excited to see how I develop with more training.

    Thanks to Mark, I have gone from someone who did not particularly enjoy exercise to someone who has bought a home gym so that I could continue training during the national lockdown."
    Olivia Hinman - Bushey
  • 'Challenging, fun, and confidence boosting – thanks Mark!' "I was looking to challenge myself and learn how to train with weights (I'd never really trained at the gym alone before) and training with Mark, I've seen a clear progression over the weeks. He varies the exercises, clearly explains what needs doing and make the sessions fun yet challenging. I feel stronger and more confident and look forward to the sessions every week. Thanks Mark!"
    Aimee Nottingham - St Albans
  • 'I enjoyed his training sessions so much' "I’ve been training with Mark for 2 years now, originally to help me get in shape for my wedding. After achieving my goals, I enjoyed his training sessions so much that I continued training with him after my wedding!

    Mark makes the workouts we do varied each time and really pushes me and encourages me during each session. He also provides nutritional advice to supplement the training we do. If you’re looking for a trainer he’s your man!"
    Joyeta Das - Welwyn Garden City
  • 'I would highly recommend Mark for whatever your fitness needs are' "What I like most about Mark is his ability to think on his feet. I am slightly disabled which means that I am not able to do all the exercises that Mark suggests, so it is good to see how quickly Mark stops me if something isn’t working, and finds an alternative. He is also very good at breaking down the movement, for example I wanted to be lighter on my feet for jumping so we worked on the take-off, stretch in the middle of the jump and landing.

    I am an actor and for a particular part, I had to carry a large man off stage. So for the last three months I have been doing resistance training and Mark set up a very good program that built up the weight I could lift and the length of time I could carry it for without stopping. In short, I would highly recommend Mark for whatever your fitness needs are."
    Jeremy Lowe - St Albans
  • 'Tailored, effective and encouraging – highly recommend training with Mark!' "I’ve been training with Mark since lockdown. Mark has a tremendous knowledge of all the muscle groups and how they work together. He takes the time to listen to your needs and then tailors a routine to suit you that quickly brings positive results. I would highly recommend training with Mark. He’s polite, patient and immensely encouraging, he’s also a very nice guy to spend time with and most importantly I trust his judgement."
    Simon Jarret - St Albans
