Mark Harrop
Bio
He’s been at the forefront of personal training in London since 1998. He’s opened and operated several high profile studios across London. And his reputation for recruiting, training and developing the very best personal trainers ensures that when the leading commercial operators are hiring, they ask Mark to find the right people for them.
Yet, if you ask Mark what gives him a buzz, his answer is simple.
“Well, coming to work in shorts every day is still pretty cool.”
A graduate in Sport & Exercise Science specialising in biomechanics, Mark mixes a scientific attention to detail with a dynamic, fun approach to training. “It’s got to be fun. Why would you come back if it wasn’t? Fun is what keeps you eager until the results really start to show. Fun is what makes reaching your goals easier.”
Mark is a passionate believer that trainers should bring their own styles and techniques to their work. “That’s what makes Eqvvs distinctive. We try to foster an environment where trainers are happy to share their ideas, discuss new techniques and learn from each other.”
