Hi, I’m Mark, a mobile Personal Trainer and nutrition coach based in Aldridge in the West Midlands, where I live with my wife Jane.

I have always been an active guy, with football being my passion in younger years (I won’t tell you which team I support – let’s just say there’s been a lot of heartache!)

My love for weight training began in my early twenties when a close pal purchased a bench and barbell. I was immediately hooked.

However, my diet was always shocking! No vegetables or salads (never!), Greggs for lunch daily, Chips and beans for dinner,  regular fatty desserts and a decent quota of alcohol. And I smoked for 39 years!

It was only in my late forties that I started to become aware of how damaging my diet and habits were, I guess via social media, magazines and through my gym contacts. At fifty I quit smoking, met the wonderful woman who subsequently became my wife and who helped me to completely change my diet. 

Next came me hiring a Personal Trainer. I was so impressed at how this helped me get in the best shape of my life and to understand exactly how things should be done – I thought I’d like to do that! Fast forward to now and I’m a fully qualified fitness and nutrition Personal Trainer, having gained the qualification with the European Institute of Fitness (EiF).

I decided that I would focus on the over forties age group, as that’s where I was when I started to turn things around (been there, done it so to speak). I understand the difficulties and barriers that many people in their forties and beyond encounter and I’m intently focussed and passionate about helping people to improve lifestyles, keep up with the grandkids for many years to come(!), and live happier and healthier.
