As a mum I understand the struggles to get into or back into fitness. It’s through my own journey of using exercise to enhance my health and well-being (not only physically, but mentally) that I discovered my passion to want to inspire others to do the same!

Since then I have studied to be a qualified Personal Trainer with Open Polytechnic as well completing certificates in Pelvic Floor Essentials and Post and Prenatal for Fitness Professionals.

I believe that exercise is for everyone, no matter what your level of fitness is or what your why is.

Lets work together to become the “best you”!

Hi, my name is Markus but everyone knows me as Mak. I am passionate about transformation whether that be physically or mentally, I am more passionate with making people fall in love with the process, understanding who they become through the journey of getting to the end goal is much more crucial than the end result for me.

I would love to guide you through your journey, under one condition. You come to me for transformation and not information, otherwise if it’s information you’re looking for. Save your energy and time and find another coach.

Aroha nui,
Mak

After almost 40 years in the health and fitness industry I still love teaching classes and working with people realising their potential to live the best life they can live. I have taught most types of classes from Pilates to HIIT,  and anything in between. Life is not a dress rehearsal. Stay fit and live it well.

I am a Qualified Personal Trainer, group fitness instructor, nutrition coach and massage therapist. Still always learning forever open to new ideas.

In my free time. I love spending time with my family and friends. I love a good book and enjoy traveling. I enjoy being creative and listening to podcasts or music. I’m never bored

I also thoroughly enjoy facilitating interactive games-based, team-building group training sessions that get people smiling and laughing, all whilst creating a memorable experience. I look forward to meeting every member here at Club Physical Coast and helping each of you feel confident and comfortable in the body you’re in. I will endeavour to contribute to creating a warm and welcoming environment in the gym, by bringing my special flavour of energy and enthusiasm to every encounter I have with each member.

My passion for weight training started when I first attended an outdoor boot camp workout where I fell in love with the concept of moving with purpose. Each movement was so practical and proved to be transferable into my everyday living. I found myself inadvertently encouraging others without taking a second thought to take on the role of being the group cheerleader.  Hence the reason why I’m a huge fan of the social aspect of this ever-evolving and the booming industry of health and fitness. I hope to help you both look and feel better in body and mind.
