Studio Host and Co-Owner Madd Dogg Athletics Certified Star Level 1 Spinning Instructor
TEACHING STYLE:
“I love being a Spin instructor! It’s an honor to lead every class that I lead and respect the trust each rider has instilled in me. This is their hour to better themselves and as a professional I had better give them 110% every time on the bike. There are so many different roles of the best Spin Instructors; Teacher, Leader, Entertainer, Psychologist, Motivator, Cheerleader, Comedian, Choreographer, Friend and so many more . I spend hours developing and practicing each class. Why? Imagine if someone told you that what you do might actually enable someone to live a longer and healthier life…enough said. And oh yeah, it’s FUN to teach too!”
WHAT THE CLIENTS SAY:
"If I were to describe Mark's classes in a single word it would be "passionate". Mark has inspired me to dig a little deeper, work a little harder and reach a little higher to achieve a goal I could not have reached the day before. His classes are filled to capacity with people who share his desire to be the best that they can be. He sets the standard for personal excellence and we all strive to meet that standard."
