Community Feedback
"I’ve been training with Mark at Body by design for 2 years and the results have been great; I’m in much better shape in all aspects (including shape :-)). Mark is very attentive to the health of individual clients and tunes workouts to be aggressive, but yet safe (no injuries in 2 years is a record for me!). Mark is indeed a master at weight training. The gym atmosphere is very pleasant: clean, great equipment and very welcoming. In summary, Body by design is great and it’s also a great way to support a small local business!"

"Mark is a great personal trainer and coach. He’s a physical fitness professional who is focused at listening to your personal fitness goals and then assisting you in developing a workout program and schedule to get you to meet those fitness goals, if you put in the work. I’ve been training with Mark for over 10 years in his semi private studio that is always sparkling clean and with great music playing for workouts. If you want to get in shape, build muscle, lose weight or maintain your current fitness level, and be held accountable for your workout performance and progress then go see Mark. Try a beginner’s session with Mark, and check it out yourself."
