Fitness Coaching
Welcome to Practice—where smart, sustainable fitness meets real results and zero industry BS. Just expert guidance and strategies that actually work.
The fitness industry is overflowing with unrealistic, ineffective ideas—from endless cardio to restrictive diets glorified in movies and social media. These misinformed notions often confuse exhaustion or calorie burn with progress, which is a big part of why 95% of people regain the weight they’ve lost (and more).
At Practice, I’ll help you reach your fitness goals and show you how training, nutrition, and recovery really work together. Every exercise, nutrition strategy, and daily habit is grounded in purpose—not fleeting trends. The results will speak for themselves.
Getting in great shape AND maintaining it is more achievable than you might imagine.
Are you ready to achieve your fitness goals and build the skills for lasting change?

Meet the Coach
Hi, I’m Mark. My fitness journey started over thirty years ago when I first walked into a Gold’s Gym and was hooked immediately. I earned my first personal training certification in college, training clients on the side while balancing school. After grad school, I worked as a creative director for many years, always steering my career toward health and fitness.
In the early 2000s, I worked for a global leader in the fitness industry, where I became friends with elite fitness professionals from around the world. That experience reignited my passion for coaching, so I re-certified and started training clients again.
In 2012, I relocated to Austin, TX, and launched a nutrition supplement brand that I eventually sold to investors in 2021. Throughout this period, I immersed myself in the health and fitness world to learn and experience as much as possible.
In 2024, I moved to New Braunfels and launched Practice with three objectives:
1. Help others achieve healthy, extraordinary fitness goals.
2. Provide the tools and knowledge for lifelong health.
3. Continue to expand my expertise as a trainer and coach.
If you’re in the New Braunfels area and ready to take your health and fitness to the next level, I’m here to help. Let’s make it happen—together.
