Mark Ludlow - Personal Trainer & Life Coach

The bespoke training and weight loss program really helped me, it has changed my life! Mark guided me through each step of the way and I found the process and transformation so much easier compared to doing it alone. I would recommend Mark to anyone

Mark's not a regular PT and coach, he goes beyond and actively listens to individual needs and goals. Starting with a thorough consultation where we've discussed my goals, timelines and schedule, we set up a 16 week plan together which included weekly in person 1:1 training, a regularly updated and individually tailored workout plan and nutritional education, recipes & weekly nutritional feedback as well as weekly catchups to keep me on track + discuss questions. As we head into the program and I became more confident with weights and exercises in general, he pushed to my limits to show what I am capable of while I was feeling entirely safe and supported. I think that's the balance which is extremely hard to find, besides the knowledge, professionalism, good location and good sense of humour - it's needed! I am very happy with the results, feeling healthier, stronger and owning a mind-set which allows to prioritise myself while I'm also taking care of all other aspects of my life. Highly recommend Mark!!

TLDR; I decided to meet with Mark because I felt ashamed, scared, overweight and unfit. Mark has given me the tools, knowledge and support to fight back the fear and transform myself into a better person. -------- Meeting Mark for the first time required a huge amount of courage to be able to tell my story, to be honest about where I was and to openly admit I needed help to find a fitter and healthier way to live. I was 16.5st, I couldn't walk very far because my knees always hurt, had intermitent chest pain and I had just been diagnosed pre-diabetic. I'd previously tried so many different diets I'd lost count - WW, Keto, fasting, calorie control - nothing was working for me. I was fearful that I'd not live long enough to see my children grow up. I'd hit bottom and it felt s**t. Mark agreed to take me on as a client and to work with me to build a custom plan that focused on nutrition, lifestyle choices, exercise and mental well-being. Over several weeks we met regularly to start embedding key disciplines and habbits into every-day life - building a toolkit to help make the right choices in challenging situations - tailored around my lifestyle and preferences so it felt achievable. As the weeks went on, this evolved to include more focus on nutrional feedback, guided exercise routines and weekly check-ins to ensure any tweeks were applied as required. In those moments where I felt particularly exposed to a challenging food situation, Mark was often just a WhatsApp chat away to help and provide a much needed confidence boost. Over the months I've continued to work with Mark, the plan has continued to evolve to ensure it remains relevant and - where appropriate - challenging. Even though there have been times where I've felt like quitting, been unsatisfied with my results, felt a bit down, or just fancied a slice of pie ... Mark has always been there to provide the support and guidance required to keep me on track. Reflecting on my progress so far, I feel like a different person! I now ride 100+km per week on my bike, walk anywhere I want, feel more confident in my clothes, no longer have chest pain, have beaten back Type-2 diabetes and can look forward to seeing my kids grow up. And yes, I've lost a load of weight too ... but somehow that's no longer as important as everything else!

Working with Mark was amazing in preparing me for climbing Mt Kilimanjaro in October. Mark was able to focus on the areas that would best help me trek hours at a time carrying all the required equipment and gear. Cannot thank him enough for making the trip easier in relation to having not prepared or not having trained specific areas that definitely assisted the entire journey. Not only that, but the life chats in between were pretty great too. Highly recommend Mark for helping anyone physically or mentally with their journeys.

I can honestly say working with Mark has been life changing, I have battled with my weight for as long as I can remember but with Marks support and guidance I have finally managed to reach my goals and feel confident I can sustain them! Marks approach was straightforward, intuitive and adaptive to my needs and personality making it really accessible and realistic to follow with a busy schedule. I would recommend this programme to anyone, especially if you need structure, accountability and to have a laugh whilst doing it!
