Who This Is For

Goals With deadlines.

A show date, a season opener, a meet, a tryout - deadline goals need different programming than general fitness. Training blocks get periodized, recovery gets scheduled, and nutrition gets phased so you peak exactly when it counts.

This is for physique competitors, adult athletes, and serious youth athletes preparing for a season. Mark coaches it in person through in-home sessions or remotely via online coaching - with prep nutrition phased in throughout.

Peaking, not just progressingThe plan is reverse-engineered from your date so your best day lands on the right day.
Strength that transfersGym numbers matter only if they show up in your sport - programming keeps the carryover.
Recovery is programmedDeloads, sleep, and volume management scheduled - because overtraining misses deadlines.
Youth athletes welcomeSeason prep and athletic development for teen athletes, coached safely at home.

I have known Mark for a couple years now and he offers expert help that will transcend your life beyond. Help in regards towards wisdom, programs, and motivation. On November, 2025 I entered into my first men's physique competition. Mark offered a great workout routine that I was able to incorporate in my routine. Highly recommend Transcending Personal Training to those looking to make real change.

Mark’s a great dude who’s very knowledgeable about personal training. He’ll customize a training plan for you, adjust along the way, and set you up for success with a meal plan. I’ve gotten way stronger and leaner while working with him

Mark has helped me a ton with form, a plan, diet, everything over the past few months. It really feels great that people are noticing I'm getting bigger, and having someone friendly to hangout with and train me from basically 0 a few times a week has been super fun and beneficial. Couldn't recommend him enough!!

The transformation I've seen since training with Transcending has been incredible. As an athlete who has been lifting weights for over 15 years, Transcending helped take me to a whole new level. 10/10 recommend.

Mark at Transcending Personal Fitness has been an incredible coach. With his guidance, I’ve gained noticeable muscle mass and become stronger than ever. For the first time, I was able to deadlift over 200 pounds—something I never thought I’d achieve. Mark is easy to approach, supportive, and truly cares about the whole person. He helps you eat well while also reminding you that you’re human, and that progress isn’t about perfection—it’s about always moving forward. I couldn’t recommend him more.

I’ve been working out with trainers for the past few years and Mark is by far the best trainer I’ve ever had. I’ve lost so far over 5 pounds of body mass but, have definitely replaced it with increased muscle mass. Mark goes the extra mile in helping you achieve your goals and has a great app for tracking progress and checking-in. He also created a meal plan for me!! One thing I really love about training with Mark is he makes himself available to answer any questions and offers suggestions on protein intake and supplements. Mark’s team have also created easy to use videos to follow if you happen to workout in the gym by yourself a couple of days a week. Mark is always punctual and works around my crazy schedule without question. Working out with Mark is an overall body experience that also focuses on balance and stretching. If you’re trying to get fit, Mark is the man to see!!!

I’ve been training with Mark for several months now, and I couldn’t be happier with my experience. From day one, his professionalism and dedication to my individual fitness goals have been evident. He takes the time to understand my strengths, limitations, and areas for improvement, ensuring every session is both challenging and tailored to my needs.

What truly sets him apart is his ability to push me beyond what I thought I was capable of while always being mindful of my limits. I’ve seen tremendous progress in my strength, endurance, and overall fitness, and a big part of that is due to his well-structured workouts and constant motivation.

Beyond the gym, he’s also helped me improve my diet, offering practical and sustainable advice that has made a real difference. His check-ins keep me accountable and motivated, reinforcing his commitment to my success.

If you're looking for a trainer who is knowledgeable, attentive, and genuinely invested in your progress, I highly recommend Mark. The results speak for themselves!
