"Small-Group Personal Training" gives you the best of both worlds. You receive the motivation of working with a group, along with the personalization of working with your own personal trainer. That is why this is my preferred method of helping clients get into amazing shape here at Progressive Athletics.

My philosophy is to start slow and keep it sustainable. It doesn't do any good to run you into the ground every time you come in and work with me. Because sustainability is such a huge part of my philosophy, results may take a bit longer... but I promise they will be results for the rest of your life.

My clients' workouts are comprised of three different sections. A warm-up to prime your body and get you ready to move. A strength portion where we will work on resistance training. And a conditioning portion where we will improve your cardio and get you nice and sweaty in a fun and interactive way. (No, I do not just throw my clients on a treadmill.)

When it comes to nutrition, I also believe it needs to be sustainable. I do not give crash diet plans, but I do teach you strategies you can implement so that you can eat healthy in a way that fits your life.

If you work with me, you will get results that last a lifetime.

I do not have a fitness-related degree, but I have been working with clients my entire adult life. I graduated from Gettysburg College in 2013 with a degree in Religious Studies.

BORN AND RAISED IN HOWARD COUNTY, MARK WAS AN ALL-STATE RUNNING BACK AT HOWARD HIGH SCHOOL ‘09. HE TOOK HIS TALENTS TO GETTYSBURG COLLEGE ‘13, BUT WAS UNCERTAIN OF WHAT HE WANTED TO DO WITH HIS LIFE UPON GRADUATION. A LIFELONG ATHLETE, HE HAD ALWAYS WORKED OUT… SO HE BEGAN HITTING THE GYM HARD AND UNDERWENT A MENTAL TRANSFORMATION OF HIS OWN.

HE REALIZED HOW EXERCISE IS A PERFECT METAPHOR FOR LIFE. WE ONLY GET WHAT WE PUT INTO OUR WORKOUTS, AND WE MUST TAKE FULL OWNERSHIP OF OUR HEALTH. NOBODY CAN DO IT FOR US. WITH THIS REALIZATION, MARK DECIDED TO PURSUE FITNESS AS A CAREER SO THAT HE COULD HELP OTHERS COME TO THE SAME REALIZATION HE DID AND HELP THEM PURSUE WHAT THEY TRULY WANT.

AFTER WORKING AT A FEW DIFFERENT BOX AND FRANCHISE STYLE GYMS, HE BECAME DISENCHANTED WITH THEM SINCE THEY SEEMED TO BE MOSTLY CONCERNED WITH PROFITS. HE WANTED TO CREATE A PLACE WHERE THE FOCUS WASN’T DOLLAR SIGNS, BUT GENUINELY HELPING PEOPLE TRANSFORM THEMSELVES BOTH PHYSICALLY… AND MENTALLY. SO HE SET OUT TO PAVE HIS OWN WAY.

HE BEGAN HIS ENTREPRENEURIAL JOURNEY DOING “IN-HOME” PERSONAL TRAINING SO THAT HE COULD SAVE UP ENOUGH MONEY TO AFFORD MOVING INTO HIS OWN LOCATION, AND IN JANUARY OF 2018…HE DID JUST THAT WITH PROGRESSIVE ATHLETICS.

TO DATE, HE HAS HELPED HUNDREDS OF INDIVIDUALS TRANSFORM THEIR LIVES, TAKE CONTROL OF THEIR HEALTH, AND BECOME WHO THEY WERE TRULY MEANT TO BE.

HIGHLY CERTIFIED, HIGHLY PASSIONATE, AND HIGHLY MOTIVATED… HE WILL DO EVERYTHING IN HIS POWER TO ENSURE HIS MEMBERS DEVELOP THE SKILL OF FITNESS IN AN EFFECTIVE AND EFFICIENT MANNER.
