Stop Patching Things Up & Start Building A Body That Performs.

Personalised training for time-starved athletes who want to move better, live longer, and train without pain.

The Most Common Obstacles To Building A Resilient Body

Tired of feeling tight, injured, or fatigued?

Training like you’re 25 when your body says otherwise?

Your body doesn’t bounce back like it used to.
Old injuries flare up under stress.
Work, travel, and family leave little time for consistent training.
And cookie-cutter fitness plans? They just don’t cut it anymore.

You’re not training just to stay active.
You’re training to stay sharp, resilient, and ready—in work, sport, and life.

Client Testimonials

Working with Mark has transformed my approach to running.  Through the knowledge he has shared I now understand that improvements and injury reduction can only be achieved by taking a holistic top to toe approach (literally).  He has a deep understanding of both the physiology and psychology of running and is always expanding that and sharing his new insights.  He draws from a seemingly unlimited set of exercises and movements to ensure that no two sessions are ever the same.  The time I have spent with Mark has allowed me to rebuild my running foundations and I am looking forward with excitement to what I can go on to achieve. - Daniel S.

Over the years I have worked with him, Mark has become an essential part of my life. He keeps me healthy, balanced and positive. He very successfully trained me for two marathons, but more than that, his coaching each week is a key component of balancing work and life stresses and strains! You are sometimes told running injuries are inevitable (especially as you get a bit older). I’ve trained with Mark for more than 5 years and throughout this period have been completely injure free. He has made my body (and weekly routine) resilient and I cannot recommend him highly enough - Tom L.

After 15 years of chronic pain, training with Mark has changed my entire outlook on what I can achieve in only one year. He is incredibly patient with the inconsistency of how the body can be from session to session and tailors each one accordingly. As a result, my pain has been hugely reduced and I am stronger than I have ever been. I couldn’t recommend Mark highly enough and I am feeling very excited about the future and continuing the progress. - Minna B.

Whether reaching for a stretch goal or recovering from an injury - or anything in between - Mark tailors his training with variety, thought and care. It’s always pitched at the right level, and been a fantastic investment in my health. Four years and not stopping! - Kara G.

After 30 years of dedicated yoga practice, I started working out with Mark. He has taught me to run with proper form, to stay injury free and to build a workout routine to live better. Mark focuses on holistic training, including weights, mobility exercises and cardio workouts. His training helps me to live better and gives me energy and strength. Having been coached by Mark for over 10 years, I feel stronger and fitter than I have ever been. - Philippe C.

20 years and counting. Mark’s sessions continue to add meaningfully to my quality of life - Richard G.

What sets Mark apart is his holistic approach to fitness. Not only does he have a deep knowledge of the body and overall health, but he understands my individual needs, not just physically but also in terms of lifestyle and well-being. His training programmes are thoughtfully tailored to my age and fitness level, ensuring I am challenged to become stronger and overall healthier. I highly recommend him to anyone looking for a personalised fitness journey. - Stephanie C.

I have been a regular client of Mark’s for over 10 years. Mark takes a holistic approach to training and I like the variability among the workouts which keeps me engaged. I’m impressed with how much his advice and programmes have evolved and adapted over the years as new research emerges and my needs/interests shift. Not only has my running improved significantly but so has my core strength, flexibility and nutrition. - Tom M.
