How did you feel about yourself/weight/person etc. before working with Mark? What sort person were you?

I was very unhappy with my weight and shape until I started with Mark. Mark has given me the confidence to push myself further in my workouts.


What did you try in the past to solve that problem before using Mark?

I’ve tried every fad diet known and also tried to work out on my own in a commercial gym, all of which failed miserably.

 

Why did you choose Mark to help you achieve your health and fitness goals?

The warm welcome I received from Mark when we were first introduced settled my nerves of being coached 1 on 1.

 

How is/was working with Mark different from what you had previously tried?

Mark is very knowledgeable about diets, fitness etc. and is very encouraging to work with. He changes workouts regularly which keeps you interested.


What problems have you overcome since working with Mark? Could be nutritional, injuries, habits, confidence, weight loss etc.

I have seen a huge amount of progress from changing certain things in my diet which I had no idea that was effecting me previously. Working out correctly is a lot more effective than just doing what you think is right and causing yourself injury.

 

After working with Mark how do you feel now? Do you feel different? Describe the person you are now.

I am certainly more educated on how to improve my diet without being unhappy with it. The results that I have made I am now more driven to succeed with my goals.


What advice would you give someone that is 'on the fence' about using a coach to help them achieve their goals?

100% recommend using a coach, it’s definitely more beneficial than going at it alone
