Since 2011 Mark has helped hundreds of people improve their health and fitness from everyday health and fitness maintenance to rehabilitating injuries and correcting posture issues to sports specific athletes.

"I've been in your shoes."

Meet Mark Mercuri. He loves helping people and appreciates that every ‘body’ is different.

We think differently, we have different jobs, different family commitments and different levels of fitness and different lifestyles. 

"Finding a solution to promote better health and wellbeing is always a challenge but that’s what I enjoy about my job. When a client achieves their goals, it makes it all worthwhile.”

Mark himself has battled the with weight issues and an unhealthy diet. Once he realised that his lifestyle was not good for him he decided to do something about it and was lucky enough to have a friend to guide him to achieve his health and fitness goals.

"I didn’t know anything about training, I'd never dreamed of stepping foot in a gym. The fear of being weak, looking and being fat and not knowing what to do was something I had to overcome. A body building friend knew what it took to get results and through his personal training I achieved my goals fast."
