I trained for a year with Marcus, until my time in Paris came to an end. With his help I lost almost 20kg and got from being just able to run 5 km to running a half marathon. Marcus made our workouts a lot of fun. He was always trying to motivate me in a positive way and by setting high but realistic targets. I would recommend Marcus as a personal trainer to anyone!

Marcus will sit down with you and go through your goals one by one, and tell you whether it’s an achievable goal, and when you’ll reach it. The thing is he’ll ask you just how committed you are. If you want to help yourself and have the attitude that is necessary then your goals seem a lot more achievable. He’ll formulate a plan based on you, work through any specific problems you have and then, during the course of the exercise, explaining exactly what it is you’re doing and why it’s important. All signs of someone who not only is committed to you and making you look and feel better, but someone on top of their game.

He said he would make a runner out of me and I can tell you that I started running in April just 10 minutes (out of breath) and now I am running my first 10K race on Sunday morning and it was he who motivated me to set that goal for myself. I ran with him 1 hour 5 minutes this week and I can tell you I would have never thought I would be able to do that earlier in the year. Now he’s motivating me to go to the next level and goal – a half marathon running 21K in March. Again, it almost seems unreachable but he’s there to challenge and believes you can do it.

I was really pleased with my results, as I managed to drop 15 years of my metabolic age over a period of two months. My goal was also to become stronger and fitter, which I definitely achieved; my body fat percentage went down by 6,7 %, I gained muscle mass and lost an incredible 7.7kgs in 2 months.

Your Personal Trainer helped me be the slimmest I have been in 15 years! I Dropped 2 jean sizes! Painful part has been throwing away my designer jean!

At least once every session I have to stop running or climbing stairs, because I have to laugh so hard at his jokes. Then he gets me right back on track and I have to repeat what I just missed due to my giggling. He definitely pushed me to my limits every single time and made me feel much stronger every day! I never thought I could do the things I am doing now! I never knew I could be that determined or strong!

It’s been six years now and I train with Marcus every couple of months whenever I’m in Paris for work. Marcus will probably never know how much I look forward to those mornings. I’m often jet-lagged, worn and stiff from traveling, but I can count on Marcus to show up on time, get me moving and, most importantly, make me laugh.

I lost 24kgs in 10 months training with Your Personal Trainer! I lost 14.3% body fat and reduced my metabolic age by 30 years.

I am proud of what I have achieved with over the last 3 years: I can run for one hour without believing I’m going to die, I have changed my habits, learned to cook and introduced more healthy food, and I’ve lost 15kg.
