About

Who is Mark AKA The Punisher?


My aspirations to work in the fitness industry started at a young age, when I was always keen to learn from PE teachers, coaches, and peers around me.  I went on to study my BTEC National Diploma in Sports Science and soon achieved my level 2 Fitness Instructor qualification, early in my career.  It was clear I had a definite passion for working in this field, and I went on to achieve an HND in Sports Science.  I have the energy and selfless drive to motivate others from all walks of life.

Personal Training was the next step in my career, allowing me to apply my knowledge base to working with the public and gaining a greater understanding of the fitness world.

To date, I am a Level 3 Fitness Instructor, having held this qualification for 10 years.  I’ve now been working full time in the gym environment for over 18 years, ensuring I help and encourage people along the way.  I strive to help people change their lives.  Making someone feel better and gain confidence is at the core of my training ethos.  Making exercise enjoyable and working with my clients to establish what parts they enjoy, is what gives them the drive to continue their fitness journey.  The care, the drive and motivation I put into ensuring my clients meet their goals, is what makes me stand out.

Macfitness Personal Training was established in 2013, and it is an evolving fitness journey.  I aim to continue growing the Macfitness brand; a brand that people can believe and trust in to get the results they desire.

Team Punisher then formed in lock-down 2020, where a small group was formed from half a dozen individuals to now being a large fitness family.  A loyal, fun and hard-working group who have firmly recognized the importance of group exercise and get encouragement from working with like minded individuals.  We are all there for each other at Macfitness!
