About Mark

Fitness saved my life. I became a full-time trainer in 2011 while i was competing in boxing.

I finished off my boxing career professionally and then started bodybuilding competitively in the CPA which is part of the IFBB pro league.

I’m a certified personal trainer through CanFitPro, and have a Nutritional Therapist diploma through the Health & Science Academy.

My first 9 years of training were at GoodLife Fitness where I was awarded as one of the top trainers and coaches across the country out of their 450 locations every year that i was employed there.

The highlight of my training career was developing a boxing program to combat the symptoms of Parkinson’s Disease. It had 3 ethics approved medical research studies conducted by Trent Universities medical department, all showing amazing results in my fighters.

I left GoodLife Fitness in 2020 during the pandemic and turned my home into a personal training studio. I was also able to expand my business into the world of online coaching since i was no longer under a contract not allowing me to do so by my former employer.

The Ontario government approved my trademark application for "HoodLife" in 2024.
