Bransky Fitness - Pleasanton, California

I have been training with Mark for the past 8 months, and it has been a positive experience. Mark has demonstrated a deep understanding of fitness and is assisting me in achieving my personal goals.As a male in my late 40s, my body does not function as it used to, and Mark has created a regimen to both strengthen and stretch the muscles that might otherwise be neglected and lead to injuries. As a result, I have seen significant improvements in strength, flexibility, and mobility allowing me to engage in sports and play with my kids without any pain. I recommend Mark to anyone seeking to improve their fitness and well-being.

I’ve been coming to The Athletes Club/ Bransky Fitness for a little over a year now, and I can confidently say that Mark is one of the most genuine, caring, and inspiring trainers I’ve ever had the privilege of working with. Every day I come in, I look forward to stepping into the gym, not just to workout, but because of the positive energy Mark brings to the space.

Mark goes above and beyond as a trainer. His genuine care and passion for seeing his clients improve and grow is unmatched. He doesn’t just focus on physical progress but also makes it a point to uplift and encourage everyone he works with. It’s obvious that he truly cares about the well-being and success of every individual he trains.

Whether you have been working out for a while or just starting out, Mark’s support, overall knowledge of personal training, and enthusiasm will push you to be a better version of yourself. The Athletes Club and Bransky Fitness wouldn’t be the same without him. Highly recommend!

I only started with Mark in last two months, my primary goal is to gain more strength.
I already feeling that I am progressing to my goal very quickly, that is 100% due to Mark’s ability to closely monitor and guide me through small tweaks and corrections on my posture and movements. He is very patient and skilled to understand your needs and design workout programs to achieve your goals. I intend to continue with him until I am confident to do the workout routines at home.

Mark is an exceptional personal trainer who has been instrumental in helping me manage my back pain caused by a disc bulge. His expertise and tailored approach have not only improved my strength and mobility but also significantly reduced my discomfort.

What sets Mark apart is his deep understanding of anatomy and his ability to create customized workouts that prioritize safety and long-term recovery. He carefully guides me through every exercise, ensuring proper form and making adjustments as needed to avoid aggravating my condition.

And the sessions are fun and we chat about a lot of stuff other than just workout. Theres never a dull moment. If you’re dealing with an injury or chronic pain and want a trainer who truly listens and knows how to help, I can’t recommend Mark highly enough!

Mark does a great job creating a balanced workout for building strength, mobility, and stability. I told him what my goals were and he was very intentional about the exercises he picked for me. Training with Mark has helped me have better runs and gym sessions while staying injury-free!

When I first started with Mark at the end of June 2024, I had three specific goals: improving my mobility since I have knee arthritis in both knees, flexibility, and strength. Weight loss would be a plus, but it was not my primary goal because I knew it would come if I gained some traction in my first three goals. I have to say that I’ve achieved all three goals and have gone down a pants size. I can now move a thousand times better than previously, and folks at work and my family have noticed and commented. I feel stronger and better in my body and can lift things easily that I previously could not do. All of this did not happen overnight, and I dedicate two sessions a week, which is an investment of money and time, but since this is my life and it’s improved so greatly, it’s hard to say that it isn’t worth it. I only wish I found Mark sooner. Besides leading me to my goals, Mark's easy nature and positive attitude have made heading to the gym a joy.

I had the pleasure of working with Mark for 6 months and it was an awesome experience. I learned a lot about my own strength, built better habits, and felt stronger overall. What set Mark apart was his wealth of knowledge and experience that allowed him to tailor each session to my personal goals - it never felt 'cookie cutter' and I appreciated that. He is a great guide, communicator and a coach. I highly recommend Mark and would work with him again!

I have trained with Mark for over a year now and have no intention of stopping.

I spent a lot of time researching trainers in my local area and interviewed 3 different trainers. Mark stood out from all the others with his extensive knowledge. It was obvious to tell that Mark really knows his stuff when it comes to the body and training. Mark was able to quickly assess me and put together a very effective program to help me reach my goals.

Marks education and experience is truly hard to find in this industry. His approach to training and movement is exactly what I needed for my personal goals.

I would highly recommend Mark to anyone interested. I have a high degree of confidence that he can help anyone achieve their personal fitness goals.
