About Us

Our mission

At OPT IN Performance Training, our mission is to build strong, capable, and confident individuals through functional fitness that prepares you not just for workouts—but for life. We believe strength goes beyond the physical; it’s a mindset. Every session is engineered with intention, every movement has a purpose, and every goal is backed by a strategy.

We train with purpose, push with intent, and perform with confidence. Our programming is rooted in real-world functionality, designed to enhance your performance inside the gym and elevate your potential outside of it—whether that’s chasing personal records, showing up stronger for your family, or simply living with more energy and resilience.

testimonials

"I’ve been training with Mark for ~18 months. He is an incredible trainer. There just aren’t enough in the industry like him. Mark genuinely cares about each and every one of us - in the gym and outside of the gym, checking in if we haven’t been in for a few days, checking in if we are unwell or injured, checking in even when he knows ‘life is happening’ for us. Most importantly his approach, his style, and his passion for fitness gets the best out of you individually, and together with your training buddies at the gym. His energy is contagious, and I always look forward to his sessions - they are SO good! There is fun, there is variety, there is challenge (for all levels of fitness, he is a very inclusive coach), and importantly you feel yourself progress. I can’t imagine the gym without him!"

Sarah B.

"I just wanted to say a few words about Mark, who has been the manager at my gym for some time now. He’s been fantastic – always friendly, approachable, and genuinely passionate about what he does. One of the things I’ve appreciated most is the variety of classes he offers to keep things interesting. He’s also super knowledgeable, especially when it comes to injuries. I’ve had a few minor issues, and he’s always been able to give solid advice on how to adjust workouts or recover properly."

Brad P.

"I’ve been training with Mark for 18 months, and as a busy mum of three, that early 5am session is my sanity! I get up at 4:30am—not because I have to, but because I want to. The community vibe is unreal. It’s supportive, fun, and full of laughs (yes, even at 5am). I spend half the class talking—but somehow Mark still manages to push me, challenge me, and keep me progressing with his killer programs. He knows exactly how to get the best out of you, even when you’re distracted mid-set! I came for fitness, but I’ve gained confidence, consistency, and a space that’s just for me. Best start to the day, every day."

Anna G.

“I’ve been training with Mark for nearly 2 years and it has been a great experience. The vibe is always great, fun and relaxed, with no pressure to be anything but yourself. He is very knowledgeable and knows exactly how to tailor each session to get the best out of you. In that time, I’ve become stronger, more confident and more informed - and I always leave feeling better than when I walked in. I look forward to every session and training with Mark.”

Sarah H.

"I have been training with Mark for 18 months now and since having Mark as my coach I have gained so much confidence within myself. As a mum of 2 kids I lost myself for a little, while raising my kids- going to the gym and working out has been the best thing I have done for myself, for my mental health and my sanity. It’s always such a fun vibe, great music and most importantly a supportive community to be amongst. I have met so many amazing people along the way and Mark and the members certainly brighten my day!"

Kristina T.

"I’ve been training with Mark in his group classes for over a year, and it’s been a great experience. Mark promotes a relaxed gym environment where everyone feels welcome, whether you’re just starting out or already in shape. The vibe is focused and motivating, with a good mix of hard work and camaraderie. Always with positive tunes to accompany the workout. His knowledge of fitness is top notch—he knows his stuff, breaks down techniques clearly, and keeps the workouts varied and tough."

Kurt O.

"I cannot express how grateful I am for the training I’ve received from Mark. After having two kids, I was eager to get back into fitness, and by chance, I found him. Mark has truly reignited my passion for training. His expertise in coaching and programming has been invaluable, as he consistently pushes me to reach my potential while providing unwavering motivation and support. Thanks to his guidance, I am now the strongest and fittest I have ever been. I highly recommend him to anyone looking to transform their fitness journey!"
