About
Former competitive powerlifter turned strength coach. 12 years of experience helping athletes from beginners to national-level competitors. I believe in progressive overload, smart programming, and building a foundation that lasts. My approach combines evidence-based training with practical coaching — no fluff, just results.

Best coach I have had
Marcus helped me add 50kg to my total in 6 months. His programming is smart and he actually listens to feedback. Highly recommend for anyone serious about getting stronger.
Emma Wilson
Amazing for beginners
I had zero gym experience and Marcus made me feel so welcome. He started me with the basics and now I am squatting with a barbell and my friends are asking me for gym tips. Life changing!
Sarah Chen
Perfect for meet prep
I was terrified of competing and Marcus made the whole process feel manageable. His attempt selection was spot on and he was always available to answer questions. Hit PRs on all three lifts at my first meet!
Josh Hohnke
Best coach I have ever worked with
Marcus took my squat from 140 to 185 in 5 months. His programming is meticulous and his communication is top tier. He handles my attempts at comps and always has a plan. Could not recommend him more highly.
