Testimonials
I met Coach Mariani during an Active Escapes trip in Thailand. Mark trained us for a week. The feedback and techniques I learnt from Mark has changed the way I train completely. Mark was able to quickly evaluate my idiosyncrasies, which were impeding my capabilities and overall making my workouts much less effective than they should be. Since I have started implementing Mark’s feedback on my technique, I’ve become stronger, much more effective and get so much more out of my training generally.
