Transform into the superhero version of yourself, no matter how busy life gets.
As a fellow nerd and a coach for middle-aged nerds, I understand the unique challenges you face. Time is a rare commodity between work, family, and indulging in your geeky passions. You might be dealing with a slowing metabolism, a bit of belly fat from years sitting at a desk, and maybe you're not as spry as you were in your younger gaming days. I’m the guy who turns a Clarke Kent in to Superman 💪
These are just some of the challenges I expertly guide my clients through during our program.
⏳
Lack of Time:
Juggling a demanding job and family responsibilities can feel like trying to balance the Force while leading a galactic rebellion – there's little time left for traditional gym routines.
🤯
Information Overload:
Navigating the fitness industry can feel like decoding a complex programming language or figuring out a convoluted quest in a role-playing game, with its saturation of conflicting advice.
😔
Under confident:
Losing your mojo and confidence might feel like losing your superpowers. It's a barrier to enjoying activities that once brought you joy, like a hero losing touch with their core identity.
👴🏻
Age-Related Concerns:
Hitting middle age brings changes akin to a character leveling up in a game but facing new, unexpected challenges. Your metabolism shifts, and you struggle with weight gain, especially the stubborn 'boss level' belly fat.
🤦♂️
Using the wrong programme:
Following workout programmes and nutritional strategies designed for younger, fitter men can feel as demotivating and not calibrated for your current fitness level.
🙌
Motivation and Accountability:
Without guidance and support, it's tough to stay committed, especially after a long day at work.
The Programme
My journey into creating this unique training program started from my own experiences as a middle-aged nerd juggling a busy career and family life. I realised the conventional one-size-fits-all fitness and nutrition plans just didn’t cut it for people like us.
Over the years, through extensive research, training clients like you, and personal experimentation, I've developed a program that marries efficiency with enjoyment, tailored specifically for those who love their geek culture as much as they aspire to be fit.
🍖
Nutrition Made Easy
Navigating your nutrition will be as straightforward as choosing your next binge-worthy series or deciding on your next game to play. No complicated meal prep here just simple nutrition that fits into your busy life.
🤗
Supportive Community
Even men need support! Join a fellowship of like-minded individuals, each on their own journey to become their best selves while fully embracing their nerdy interests. It’s like being part of a guild where everyone supports each other’s quests and achievements.
🤓
Access to knowledge
You'll gain the knowledge and understanding of what works for you not some other random person who isn’t like you. It’ll be like transforming you into the Neo of your personal health and fitness journey.
🏋️♂️
Workouts for both Home and Gym
Whether you’re training in the comfort of your castle (home) or at the guild (gym), your program adapts with the versatility of a shapeshifter Moprhe from X-Men. It’s designed to fit wherever you are so you don’t have to think about it.
😃
Lifestyle Integration
Strategies to integrate fitness and healthy eating into your busy schedule. You’re not a 20 year old living with their parents. You are the parent, so you need something that ensures sustainability and long-term success.
💪
Customised Plan for You
Plans should be personalised! You’ll have your very own NPC, planning your health and nutrition for you. You can finally can get on with your life while still rocking the best body you’ve ever had.
“I’ve been training with Mark for over 10 years. I reached my goals pretty quick compared to using other trainers but I’ve stayed because I wouldn’t be without his skills.
I now have that flat stomach I craved for so long and arms. Clothes shopping is actually a pleasure and I can wear the everything I’ve always wanted to wear with confidence.”
Who its for:
✅ Nerdy men around 40 years old and up that are in to nerdy stuff so want a programme to fit around their hobbies and life.

✅ Dudes that want to be a lazy as possible while still getting the body they want.
Who its not for:

❌ Guys who have massive egos that think they know best.
A coach that isn't like the usual Instagram influencers
With over 27 years of experience in training and personal coaching, I bring not just expertise, but an understanding of your unique world. Let's face it – do you really want your fitness journey led by someone who doesn't get the life you lead? Or would you prefer a seasoned pro who's been in your shoes and knows exactly how to guide you?
Imagine having me, your very own NPC (Nerd Personal Coach), in your corner. Hundreds of clients, just like you, have trusted me to guide their fitness quests. Why? Because I don't force your life into a fitness mold. Instead, I shape the fitness strategy around your life.
My mission? To make your time in the gym as efficient as possible, yielding results that'll make you feel like a superhero, without the grind. Think 'lazy and buff' – achieving your fitness goals without obsessing over workouts and nutrition. So, you can spend more time enjoying the things you love, with the energy and health to fully embrace them. 🤩💪
What others have said about the programme
“I don’t feel broken anymore! Before working with Mark I used to work around injury and pain now. For the first time I actually felt I was getting better each week rather than feeling beat up everyday. I’ve learn so much about nutrition as well. ”
“I used a younger PT before who trained me to physical exhaustion, and as result I picked up lots of niggly injuries, therefore my training was inconsistent. Since training with Mark, these have disappeared and my training has been consistent and the results show.”
How the Programme works
The journey with my program is structured yet flexible, tailored to each client's unique needs and schedule. Here's how the quest unfolds:
👨💻
Step 1 - Initial Consultation:
We start with a chat (in person or online) to discuss your goals, challenges, and geeky interests. This helps me tailor the program specifically for you.
📝
Step 2 - Plan Creation:
Based on our consultation, I develop a fitness and nutrition plan that fits your lifestyle. Whether it’s gaining muscle, losing weight, or both, your plan will be as unique as your favourite comic book or movie character.
🏋️♂️
Step 3 - Workout Sessions:
We'll dive into workouts that are short and effective, not long and boring. Whether at home or in the gym, these workouts are designed to maximise results with minimum time.
🍔
Step 4 - Nutrition Guidance:
Alongside the workouts, you'll receive easy-to-follow nutritional advice and support. Think - simple, practical, and satisfying.
🤗
Step 5 - Ongoing Support:
Regular check-ins to track your progress, celebrate your wins, and make any necessary adjustments to your plan.
📱
Step 6 - Community and Engagement:
You'll have access to an exclusive community of fellow nerds on the same journey, providing additional support and camaraderie.
🤗
Step 7 - More support:
Batman wasn't built in a day, think of me your Alfred giving ongoing guidance and support until you achieve your goals.
🦸♂️
Step 8 - Your Alter Ego, the new you!
This is where you unleash your inner self and become your alter ego 🦸♂️ and continue the journey.

Common Questions
-
You have me in your corner that's how. Most programmes take your money then leave you to go it alone. Success can be largely based on accountability (getting you to keep it up), I'm here checking in with you every single day until the end. Any issues I'm there for you. Plus, you'll be part of an online group with people going through the same struggles as you.
-
As strict as you want it to be. I'm not here to scold you and tell you off (sorry, not my style), I'm here to help and support you. Life can get in the way so if you need to relax a little bit off the programme that's cool with me. If you're struggling with anything I've got your back, we can work through this together. Just remember, the more effort you put in the more results you'll get.
-
You're in the wrong place if you want to get to single digit body fat percentages. Gaining a six-pack when you're in your 20's is tough never mind over 40. You will definitely lose some body fat but the workouts and eating principles are there to fit in to a normal working week. To get a six-pack you would need to say goodbye to your life. This plan isn't that.
-
Ideally we want you in the gym at least 2x per week and no more than 4. The main aim is consistency not living in the gym. Workouts can range from as little as 15 mins and up to 45 mins. If you're in the gym longer than 45 mins I've not done my job properly
-
This all depends on the type of injury it is. I can adjust the workouts based on your needs but ideally you should go see a sports therapist or physiotherapist before starting.Workouts are designed to give you the biggest bang for your buck so this means you'll be using a variety of resistance exercises and equipment. Not one single cardio machine, I promise.
-
HELL NO! Definitely not a diet. Think of it as principles to guide you to make better decisions. These principles will help you lose weight, feel amazing, improve your mood, have more energy, in fact the list is endless.
-
First off, This is NOT a diet, I promise. These are principles to guide you to a better body. Will it work, but that depends on you. Everyone is totally different from the rest so the results you get will vary. Its one of the reasons why I use principles to help people get the body they want. Certain diets work for certain people, if that's not you it won't work. Principles on the other hand can apply to absolutely everyone. So the more effort you put in the more you'll get out of it.
-
YES, most definitely. The programme is based on principles not actual foods to eat. If you don't like/or eat a certain food type don't eat it. You know what you like so go for that.
