In 1991, I embarked on a journey that would define my life's work: helping driven professionals achieve peak performance without compromising their health. Over the past three decades, I've witnessed a common narrative among high-achievers: the relentless pursuit of success often leads to overlooked well-being, resulting in injuries and burnout.
A Personal Milestone:
At 46, I achieved a personal best, completing the Berlin Marathon in under three hours. This accomplishment wasn't just about crossing the finish line; it was a testament to the power of consistent, intelligent training—a philosophy I now share with my clients.
The Birth of The Resilient Athlete Project:
Recognising the unique challenges faced by ambitious professionals, I developed The Resilient Athlete Project. This program is designed to:

Client Experiences:
"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!" — Tom L.
"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." — Stephanie C.
