Mark is an incredibly encouraging trainer. He has a natural way of bringing out the best results in people, not only physically but also mentally. I used to hate working out and the idea of going to the gym would make me squirm. Thanks to Mark however, my mentality to exercise and diet has completely changed and by 6 months of working with Mark, I lost a stone and a half and now love working out. I thoroughly recommend Mark if you’re looking for a hard working and considerate PT, that works with you and encourages you to be the healthiest you can be. More...

I am in my mid 50’s and very nervous to start training after a gap in exercise due to long covid. It’s just 2 weeks of personal training and already I feel more flexible, back ache has gone and feeling my muscles for the first time in years! Mark is kind and respectful PT who helps me push my boundaries. More...
Jacob Humphreys
Mark is great! At the time my 13 year old son Jacob was trained by Mark at MHJ fitness a couple of times a week, and really helped my son to gain his confidence (he was overweight and very body conscious) with a good varied set of disciplines, and programmes that have made a huge difference, and Jacob is able to visit the gym on his own (now 14) and knows what to do and how!
Would highly recommend him!

Having been rejected by the Royal Navy, Mark has helped me to push my physical limits and regain confidence in my body by being being tough when required and knowledgeable in his training methods. I now feel better prepared to have another attempt at joining the Navy and have found myself enjoying my time in the gym much more after Mark's supportive and friendly approach to training. More...

I started with Mark in March and the improvements in my health and confidence have been massive. I feel so much more motivated and confident than when I began (I couldn’t even go to the gym on my own). Mark tailors each programme to suit your needs, and it’s flexible for when your goals/focus change. Wouldn’t recommend anyone more :) More...

It has been great working on our goals with Mark. We have partner sessions and he is great at switching sessions up each week to accommodate for both of our targets.
He pushes you to improve every week, always has a smile on his face and never takes anything too seriously which makes you enjoy each session, no matter how hard it may be.
You can ask him questions about exercise or even nutrition and he will always do his best to help.

Juggling a busy family and work life means my physical well-being has not always been prioritised. Mark’s flexible and tailored approach along with his encouraging and motivating manner, has enabled me to quickly develop confidence and make progress in the gym. I would recommend him to anyone.
Lucy
Mark is absolutely brilliant... just an all round good egg. He's always early, ready and rearing to go, always organised, prepare for personalised sessions that made a genuine impact on my fitness and overall wellbeing because they were structured but never boring. Honestly would highly recommend him, he's professional and really motivated to deliver a quality service. Lovely guy and committed to working with you to push you beyond your comfort zone at a pace that's well considered and sustainable. Book a session! More...
Sam Bailey-Watts
Mark’s need to grasp each individual’s desired outcome from their programme and his subsequent meticulous approach to helping reach those goals sets him apart from the crowd. His physiological knowledge is incredibly impressive and that has helped me and I’m sure all of his clients immensely in understanding the best approach. I can’t recommend Mark highly enough. I’ve been embarrassingly dismissive of reaching my fitness and health goals through a PT in the past but Mark has been a revelation. More...

I needed to get in shape after too many desk hours and I found Mark through bark.
He was alway on time, he kept me motivated and it was a pleasure to work with him.
And I got results. I would highly recommend him

Jack
He was very knowledgeably really helped to motivate me into the gym which was probably the hardest part for me😅
Even after leaving him i could ask in casual conversation about techniques dieting etc and he would still help me to get to my goal.
Olivia
One of the most tentative and considerate PT’s out there. Puts effort into every aspect of your journey and goals with lots of support and consideration of other commitments or ailments
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
Using realistic measurable targets and working at an intensity that gradually but surely progresses. Don't worry I sort all the numbers in the background you just have to show up and give it your all!
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Commitment and education. I'll try to help with both, I always like to let my clients know why I choose certain exercises or rep ranges.
What do you love most about your job?
The clients of course! I used to work in a bookmakers and the environment was rather negative. I'm blessed to be doing what I love now and I'm surrounded by so many positive achieving people!
What inspired you to start your own business?
I wanted to share what I've learned to love with the world and turn my passion into my full time job! I'll never look back, it's an amazing job.
Why should our clients choose you?
Short answer - I'm open honest and experienced
Long answer - fitness has always been a part of my life and I've tried many forms of it. Distance running, powerlifting, boxing, swimming, calisthenics, gymnastics I've done it. Of course I have my favourites and I compete in powerlifting mostly, however if a client asks me a question I like to be damn sure my answer is grounded in both experience And research and not just one or the other. If I don't have experience and knowledge I won't try and fool you, I'll recommend another PT. There's many professionals in the world and I don't know it all, I do try to know as much as I can.
