"I decided to take Mark’s distance consultation program, and in 12 short weeks I have lifted 30 kg [66 lbs] heavier in my deadlift than ever before, and my physique and fitness on the mat are at an all time high.

I know with Mark's knowledge (and a bit of effort on my part) I will carry on improving.

Thanks coach!"

"Mark’s inter-active, seminar at Cypress Semiconductor got very high marks, several of the participants following up with 1:1 sessions.  I am impressed by Mark’s depth of knowledge on the subjects of strength and conditioning and their application to combat sports.  I recommend Mark's seminars or 1:1 consulting on strength & conditioning without reservation."

“I invited Mark here for a short-term engagement last fall.  During our month of training together, not only did I learn a great deal about how to properly apply weight training to martial arts, but I also learned a great deal about nutrition and meal preparation, painlessly losing about 15 pounds in that single month.  I enthusiastically recommend Mark’s services to anyone wishing to lose weight, improve athletic performance or just look and feel better.”
