Excellent PT. Will gladly help those who wants to help themselves. He contests you holds me accountable. I’ve been trying to lose weight for months now. Since joining Marcus I’ve lost 5kg in just a single month. I’m far stronger than I initially thought as well. Thanks for unlocking my potential. Definitely would recommend 10/10 More...

I chose to train with Marcus because he had sport specific knowledge and I had a lot of injuries from my sport. I’ve been training with Marcus for over 2 years now.
He has helped me to strengthen my weaker areas and now I’m playing my sport faster and stronger than ever.
Marcus has been there for me when I’ve been at my lowest and my highest. He’s been a friend and a PT. I would recommend him to anyone, which I have done with several people.

I had shoulder issues and whenever i trained i kept feeling the pain,I was about to give up training for good.I saw Marcus in the gym and explained my problem,am thankful he took his time and listened. He gave me advice and a set of exercises to make my shoulder better.As to date am still going strong in the gym because of the advice he gave.My shoulder has gotten better and stronger without him i would have quit training.I 101% recommend him to anyone needing a friendly,approachable,exeperienced,knowledgeable and qualified PT.

Fantastic trainer with a real eye for detail and brings the excitable, honest human interaction that can be lacking with other trainers.
He is extremely knowledgeable and will go above and beyond if he is not familiar with a movement or a sport - he will go and become an expert to deliver the best possible plan and training experience.
12/10 would recommend as a trainer and as a friend, always has a smile on his face and loves his process and helping people. You couldn’t ask for a better trainer!

Matt Grainger
Trained with Marcus to improve my Olympic weightlifting total, eventually ended up taking a different route than what I thought I needed focusing more on mobility and technical proficiency rather than just trying to get stronger, made some huge improvements on hip mobility using new exercises id never tried before. As a coach myself I found the whole experience super valuable and continue to use the exercises to this day to keep myself lifting heavy and staying mobile at the same time! 5 stars, top geeza!

Marcus goes above and beyond for each of his clients and gets personally invested in watching those he supports succeed.
He gets as, if not more, excited than his clients when they hit milestones in their goals and is a credit to the PT industry.

Marcus is not only the best trainer but more like a life style coach/motivator and above all a good friend. You will never be disappointed in choosing him.
I was hesitant to start at first having failed many times before to get into that momentum. He totally understood my situation, my mental health and inspire me to be best of myself everyday. I bet, you could never find a better trainer than him.

Being trained by Marcus in the gym has not only helped me in the physical transformation I needed but also educated me in nutrition and fitting exercise around my lifestyle. I am more confident in my body, physically and mentally stronger and just happier. His life coaching skills are on point and you’ll leave the session feeling like you’ve solved at least one life problem! Couldn’t recommend his services enough!! More...

Marcus is a great coach, really knowledgeable guy. He takes into account feedback and personal needs to make completely personalised programs. Personal training sessions are also really good. He will push you to get the best possible session, while making sure you don’t overdo it and end up getting hurt. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
My speciality is transforming my clients bodies and minds, clients who listen to me in their initial 12 week plan will tend to lose a kilo a week without being made to feel guilty if they stray slightly.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
The secret to getting the body of your dreams is in your mind. Not in a trainer who makes you feel guilty for doing the wrong things. Instead, I like to focus on building habits that take into account your lifestyle, preferences and motivation to create habits that you can easily stick to and see consistent results.
What do you love most about your job?
I love seeing how much my clients minds change as they progress. Some of the best conversations I have are when they make a mistake in their habits and instead of spiralling into a crisis…they just forgive themselves then get right back to work. And they end up seeing great results!
What inspired you to start your own business?
What inspired me to start my business was the impact I wanted to make. Fitness gave me confidence which allowed me to thrive in my job and relationships and I want to give that to others.
Why should our clients choose you?
Clients should choose me because I care. I’ve been up late to speak about life, Taken them shopping to know the right things to buy, cleaned their home when life was overwhelming. And removing thise roadblocks has allowed my clients to more easily progress.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I can provide an online or remote service through my app “Rise with Marcus” which is completely holistic in me being able to help clients change their bodies and mindset.

In person sessions with a structured training, nutrition and habit change plan determined by an initial discussion and regularly reviewed during key milestones.
Online/remote coaching
A remote/online structured training, nutrition and habit change plan determined by an initial discussion and regularly reviewed during key milestones.
