Meet Mark

Mark is the heart and soul of the community. Caring, loyal and always people first. He’s the kind of person who will always show up, whether that’s to coach a class, help someone through a tough session or lend a hand outside the gym. Nothing is ever too big of a job for him, from building retaining walls to helping someone move house.

He’s also fairly notorious for going off hot in workouts, but it always comes with good energy and even better vibes that lift the whole room.

Coming from an Academy Rugby background, Mark holds his CrossFit Level 2 alongside a Rugby Level 1 coaching qualification. He regularly works with rugby players on their strength and conditioning, helping them get stronger, fitter and more resilient for their sport.

He has also led the CrossFit Teens programme at Vale CrossFit, working closely with younger members of the community to build confidence, develop good habits and create a positive relationship with training from an early age.

Mark genuinely cares about people and that shows in everything he does. He’s someone you want in your corner and someone who makes the gym feel like more than just a place to train.
