I’ve been training with Mark for 1.5 years and whole heartedly recommend him to every powerlifter, whether beginner or elite.I was a complete novice when I started and within a year already had a high enough total to qualify for nationals in APU.Mark is highly educated and knowledgeable and is very skilled at communicating information.

A great place to strengthen your muscles. Since I have been there, big improvement in my knee pain & body aches. Highly recommend to anyone who wants to get fit, healthy and look great.

I have been training under Mark for the past 3 years. After years of trying to lose weight by running 5-10 kms several times a week and eating near to nothing and still seeing no results, I was fed up of constantly feeling negative about my body. Mark introduced me to strength training and very quickly I started seeing results. When I first started, I was unable to bench press a 20kg barbell. With Mark's knowledge and guidance, I very quickly saw changes not only in my physical body, but also my strength which wasn't my original goal. Soon, my goal changed from body image to strength gains. I have now grown a passion for strength training, specifically powerlifting, and through Mark's coaching have now competed at the national level, finishing 3rd at the Australian Championships (through Powerlifting Australia).Mark is extremely professional, highly experienced and knowledgeable. I am extremely grateful to have him as my coach, to show me the ropes" from the very beginning and continue to coach me to become even stronger. He is also my sport nutritionist and has helped me with my nutrition plan so I am able to fuel my body adequately and help my achieve my performance goals.I highly recommend him if you are a beginner or are a seasoned lifter."

Mark is a very professional coach with extensive knowledge. I’ve learnt so much from him. MD strength provides personalised programming and targeted feedback every session.
