Marc has over 20 years experience training: in a sports medicine/rehab setting, as a group exercise instructor, and as an independent personal trainer. In that time, he has worked with a diverse clientele with a wide variety of physical abilities, and has gained extensive knowledge of orthopedic injuries and their treatments. Along the way, he has developed an intuition for helping clients dial in complex exercises and accessing pesky muscles notorious for insubordination, earning him the nickname ‘The Glute Whisperer’. Additional experience includes weight training (Olympic lifting, power lifting, and otherwise), group exercise training, TRX, HIIT, and he has been running ski conditioning exercise groups for most of his career. My approach to training is founded on the ideas that workouts should be functional, straightforward, and efficient - think less ‘Instagram exercises’ involving various contraptions and weird equipment, and more functional, repeatable, and economical exercises that replicate your sport or activities; that they should be comprehensive - looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on specific parts or movements; that they should be educational - teaching the client to use his or her body correctly and efficiently in both sport and everyday activities; and lastly, that they should build confidence as well as strength, and that making a workout fun is as important as all else.

I am Founder of Active & ageless where we specialise in health & fitness solutions for over 50s. I love what I do and run my business like my life. If it's not scaring me a little i'm not pushing hard enough. Now sometimes I want to be lazy and idle also, and I enjoy it when I do, but I am disciplined enough that it never lasts. I strive to train hard, to work hard and at times simply enjoy life and even rest hard (and this could be surfing 10 foot waves in Fiji or doing a 50km hike). With a background as an emergency nurse, Army medic, and oil and gas industry medic, I’ve spent my career in high-pressure roles. With Active & Ageless, I’m redefining fitness for over-50s—growing to multiple locations and partnering with aged care facilities in just five years. After multiple back surgeries and advice to ‘play it safe,’ I chose the opposite: running ultra-marathons, surfing big waves, boxing younger opponents, and building a business that inspires strength, resilience, and a life without limits.

With over 20 years of experience owning and operating personal training studios in the Coachella Valley, I built Strong Republic around one simple belief: adults over 40 deserve a fitness program that was actually designed for them. Our studios in Palm Desert, La Quinta, and Palm Springs work with clients in their 40s, 50s, 60s, and beyond. These are people who are serious about their health but need an approach that accounts for what's actually going on in their bodies. Our certified trainers work exclusively with this age group, which means they understand how to program for longevity, protect your joints, and build real functional strength that lasts. The results we care about most are not measured in pounds lost or inches off a waistline. They are measured in how well our clients move, how strong they feel, and how many more years they get to live actively and independently. That has been the mission from day one, and it is what drives everything we do at Strong Republic.

Mick is the founder of Primal Recovery Melbourne, a centre that redefines what recovery should look like in an era when mainstream wellness has lost its edge. Instead of candles, fluff, or surface-level “relaxation,” Mick built Primal Recovery as a space where recovery is treated like training: intense, effective, and absolutely essential. The centre combines ice baths, saunas (steam and infrared), red light therapy, vibration training, compression boots, and contrast therapy into structured systems designed to do one thing — deliver results. What sets Mick apart is his philosophy. He isn’t another coach pushing buzzwords or a clinic hiding behind white coats. He’s a straight-talking operator who believes recovery must tackle the root causes of fatigue, and pain — not just paper over the symptoms. Mick’s perspective comes from experience across multiple domains. With a background in bodybuilding, construction, psychology, natural health modalities, and music, he knows firsthand how the body and mind respond to stress, overload, and adversity. He has seen the toll that inflammation, poor circulation, shallow breathing, and nervous system fatigue can take on performance — not only for fighters, but also for everyday people trying to survive high-pressure lives. At Primal Recovery, he channels this knowledge into recovery protocols that mimic what the human body evolved for: cycles of heat and cold, stress and rest, exertion and recalibration. An athlete stepping into the Ctrl + Alt + Del protocol — vibration plate → sauna → ice bath → sauna → ice bath → red light therapy → compression boots — experiences a complete reset of circulation, inflammation, and mental state. It’s not theory, it’s not placebo — it’s physiology applied with precision. Beyond the tools, Mick has become a voice on the importance of nervous system regulation in trauma recovery, stress resilience, and performance. He is outspoken about how mainstream health systems often chase quick symptom relief while ignoring the underlying dysfunctions. For him, modalities like ice baths, breathwork, red light therapy, and contrast cycles are not gimmicks — they’re gateways to genuine adaptation and healing. Mick continues to push a movement that’s bigger than a single centre. It’s about proving that recovery, done properly, is not soft, indulgent, or optional — it’s the hard, primal reset that keeps people sharp, unbreakable, and ready for whatever fight life throws at them.

I am a personal trainer, health coach, nutritionist and a weight loss coach. I haven’t always been though… I used to be really overweight, was unfit, suffered with burnout and comfort ate… a lot! Then one day I decided enough was enough. I returned to cycling, learnt about nutrition, started weightlifting, worked with great coaches and trainers, refined my time management skills, and took part in challenges that terrified me. I then went back to college to learn more and get qualified as a personal trainer and coach. I’ve been training for over nine years. I lost over four stone and I have kept the weight off for many years, and my mental health has never been better. I’ve completed many long-distance endurance cycling events including an off-road coast-to-coast and a 200-mile one-day road sportive. Having run and grown my own businesses for over 20 years, I understand how tough it is juggling a busy life with the need to keep fit and healthy. I now help others achieve their own goals and specialise in “Weight Loss Coaching“, “Personal Training & Health Coaching“, “Menopause Support Coaching” and “Fitness & Nutrition Coaching for Sports Events“. I am based in Farnborough, Hampshire with my own private studio. I offer fitness training and coaching online with some in-person options as well.
