I’ve lost 7 pounds and trimmed a half inch from my waist since starting with Mark. Still have a little bit more to go but confident I’m gonna get there!
Mark is great. I’ve worked out with Mark for almost 3 years and he has helped me reach my goals of loosing weight and staying in shape.
I’ve been training with Mark at Body By Design, and the experience has been transformative. Mark’s expertise and personalized approach make each session effective and motivating. He crafts tailored workouts that align with my goals and constantly pushes me to achieve more. The gym itself is well-equipped and maintains a supportive atmosphere. If you're looking for a personal trainer who combines knowledge, dedication, and a genuine commitment to your success, Mark at Body By Design is the ideal choice.
Mark tailors a fitness program to the needs of each client. He takes into account each client's abilities and objectives, and he adapts the program to changes in the client's situation. Training in small groups (usually three or four) is a plus. The small groups build camaraderie and create a good vibe. Mark makes optimal use of a small space. He upgrades equipment frequently and maintains the machines with care.
I love this gym. I’ve been training with Mark for 3 years and continue to see results. I’m consistent bc I have fun going and bc Mark is extremely good at adjusting to my occasional tennis injuries. Highly recommended
I have been working out with Mark for 7 years now. He keeps me motivated and on task twice a week. I am so much stronger than when I started. Great for my bone density also.
I have been working out at Body By Design for several years now. Mark has been training me regularly 2 or 3 times a week—every week since I began! This consistency has never been achieved at any other gym that I have joined!! Mark motivates me to keep coming back week after week and pushes me to do more than I thought possible. This consistency has made me stronger, more toned, and is helping to keep my bone density at an optimal level. I recommend this gym if you are serious about getting and staying in shape. Jean G
I’ve been training with Mark for a while now, and I couldn’t be more impressed. Mark runs a fantastic gym where he specializes in small group training with personalized programs. His equipment is top-notch, ensuring you get the best out of every session. Mark brings a classic New York no-nonsense attitude to his training, which I appreciate. He’s a Yankees fan—something I’m willing to overlook, haha! He’s incredibly motivating and pushes you to achieve more than you thought possible. I’m halfway through my 40 sessions, and I’m already planning to sign up for more. The atmosphere in his gym is unbeatable, with high energy fueled by rock 'n' roll hits from the 70s and 80s. It’s not just a workout; it’s an experience. Highly recommend if you’re looking for a dedicated trainer and a great environment to reach your fitness goals!
I've been working out with Mark at Body by Design for over 8 years. I love that he runs personalized training programs but within small group of attendees - the community of gymgoers is awesome and helps stay motivated, but each person is doing a workout routine tailored to their own abilities and goals. Mark has had the perfect balance of pushing me along without any intimidation or stress. I've gotten noticeable results that I simply would have not gotten on my own.
Mark is an amazing trainer!! He helps achieve your goals and love his gym
