ABOUT ME
Hi, I'm Mark
Certified Personal Trainer with over 25 Years of Experience
I’m a 43-year-old Fitness Coach and Personal Trainer based in Stonehouse, Gloucestershire. My journey in the fitness industry started in 1999 when I completed a master’s diploma in sports training, exercise, and nutrition. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of working with a wide range of clients—from professional athletes to individuals with additional needs. This experience has shaped my approach, allowing me to provide the best possible support to everyone I work with.
My Story
In 2021, my life took an unexpected turn when I was diagnosed with a degenerative eye condition called Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP). This condition, sometimes known as "tunnel vision," gradually reduces eyesight and can eventually lead to complete loss of useful vision.
When faced with this diagnosis, I had two choices: let it define me or adapt and keep moving forward. I chose the latter. I remind myself daily—this isn’t the end of me; it’s just the beginning of a new version of me.
The Birth of The Coach House
As my condition progressed, I had to step away from my role as the Gym and Sports Facilities Manager at the Royal Agricultural University. But instead of giving up, my family and I made a plan. We built a purpose-built coaching studio right next to our home in Stonehouse—THE COACH HOUSE was born. This space allows me to continue doing what I love in a setting that is both safe for me and designed to offer the best possible experience for my clients.
My Passion for Fitness & Life
Fitness has always been a huge part of my life. I’ve played grassroots rugby at club and county levels, represented England in judo, and competed in the European Brazilian Jiu-jitsu Open. Nowadays, my focus is on staying functionally fit and strong so I can continue doing the things I love like surfing, skating, and traveling in our campervan with my family. Most weekends, you’ll find us at the beach, soaking up every moment and making the most of life.
This mindset is something I bring to my coaching. Yes, life throws challenges at us, but I believe in embracing them, adapting, and coming out stronger. Some might say I’ve been dealt a tough hand; I see it as an opportunity to inspire others facing their own obstacles.
If you’re ready to start your fitness journey with THE COACH HOUSE, contact me to find out more. Let’s take on the challenge together!
