I have worked with a few different instructors over the years and Mark is by far and away the best.  He is thoughtful, professional and personable and makes each session very enjoyable, even through the pain!  He has been very responsive to my pace of learning and as a result I have improved at a much faster pace than I did previously.

If you’re looking to change not only the way you look and feel about yourself, but also your outlook on life and confidence, Mark is your man.

After retiring from competitive team sport, I got lazy, and slowly accumulated weight without really realising it, until I saw the photos from a friend’s wedding. I was very disappointed at how far I’d let myself go, something extreme was needed, and as I can struggle to motivate myself properly I knew I was going to need some professional help, this is where Mark and learning to box came in…..

We have been working together now for two and a half years and I must admit Mark has not only helped me achieve the goals we first discussed when we started but kept me motivated to continue working hard and achieve more than I would have thought possible when I first visited him

The sessions are always interesting, not only have I learnt a new skill which makes the sessions fun, but we work hard on all aspects of fitness, there are obvious side effects to having someone motivate you, work you hard and get to understand how best to attain these results from you. Not only have I lost weight, which was my primary goal, but with Marks help we have actually changed my body shape, I have toned up and have more confidence, not only in how I look but all aspects of my life.

Don’t get me wrong, the sessions are hard, the weights, press-ups, burpees and lunges make you ache after sessions, getting hit when sparring can hurt, its not needle work, its boxing, but the results speak for themselves. I can honestly say that without Mark to motivate me, talk me through why and how to execute things correctly, I would not have achieved half of what I have. Also I have made a friend, a friend that I sometimes hate and swear at, but none the less someone I respect and have the highest regard for.

So if you’re looking to change not only the way you look and feel about yourself, but also your outlook on life and confidence, Mark is your man, all I can say is Thanks Mark….

I got in touch with Mark because I wanted to learn how to box while also getting fit. Having never really boxed before I'm not going to lie I was pretty intimated and thought Mark wouldn't be interested in training such a newbie and also someone who didn't want to actually fight.

I couldn't have been more wrong. Mark is the most approachable (and toughest) person I have ever met. His love for the sport is infectious and he really knows what he is talking about. His in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works means that he can adapt any exercise to suit your body type and ability. I've tried many times to get out of doing something and failed every time. 

He has pushed me to do things which I would have never dreamed of doing but I have done them because I have full confidence in his teaching, and that he will be there every step of the way. Both of his one-to-one sessions and boot camps are challenging and hard work but great fun. I can't recommend Mark enough. If you want to learn any level of boxing, improve your fitness and be pushed to your limits, Mark is your man! 

Since I have started working with Mark, I have never looked back. He has been a teacher, drill sergeant and mate, all in one. He brings enthusiasm, character and wisdom to our sessions, and whilst he bases everything on good discipline, no two lessons are the same and we always have fun. My fitness and skills are always improving through his guidance. I am so grateful that I found boxing but Mark is a major reason that I have stuck with it.

I knew the years spent working in the city were catching up with me, but I found the gym too monotonous, so I turned to Mark for help before I ballooned! Not only has the weight from all that 'entertaining clients' come off, but I am now in the best shape of my life, and I did it whilst having fun and learning a new sport. Never have I not looked forwards to a session, or regretted it after, as has been the case with personal trainers in the past. Mark epitomises what every trainer should be, and I can't recommend him highly enough.

‘Innovative, inspiring and a joy to train with; Mark’s theory, technique and implementation of combat sports skills is peerless.  But he is so much more than just a personal trainer.  The wisdom he imparts will stay with you and endure.  Mark took me from someone with no fitness or desire to better myself, to a 40 something athlete who can be proud of his achievements’.

‘They say inspiration follows aspiration.  Whatever your motivation for stepping through the doors of the gym, Mark will ensure that you will reach the goals that you set yourself because he wants you to succeed as much as you do.  I would recommend him without hesitation to anyone’.
