I enjoy motivating and helping people to obtain their health and overall lifestyle goals through exercise.  I have been working out in gyms for more than 7 years and have assisted training many of my fellow Marines as well as friends. It is amazing to see the transformation in individuals and the difference it makes in their everyday life. My goal at Allstar Fitness is to do the same for you... I WANT YOU! In the gym...

Mark Bryant has over 25 years of experience in the fitness industry. He is a personal trainer and senior fitness instructor certified by the International Fitness Association (IFA), ExpertRating, and the Enhance Fitness Program. In March 2007, Mark Bryant was named the National Enhance Fitness Instructor of the Year. Over the years, Mark has worked with dozens of men and women of all ages and skill levels, including those with physical limitations. Because of his personal commitment to helping his clients reach their fitness goals, he created the ExFlex Plan. This program teaches both advanced lifters and beginners to use proper form and technique while flexing specific muscle groups to achieve better results.

Mark moved to Seattle from New York City in 1987 and has competed in bodybuilding and powerlifting meets here on the West Coast. His titles include:

• World Champion Powerlifter, Deadlift, 2000
• World Championship, 2nd Place, Deadlift, 1999
• Washington State Deadlift Record Holder, 1998
• Three-time Washington State Powerlifting Champion

Mark also has over 30 years of training in the martial arts. He participated in competitions on the East Coast for over 10 years, and has developed the Combative Arts Training System (C.A.T.S. Kung Fu). This system combines the traditional form and philosophy of Chinese martial arts with a modern street approach to develop real-world fighting skills.
Mark has been publicized in Powerlifting USA, The Filipino American Herald, and The Beacon Hill News South District Journal. He holds certifications from the American Heart Association in CPR and Basic First Aid (BFA). Currently, he is studying to become a Physical Therapist Aide.

One of the biggest reasons for becoming a personal trainer is to motivate people and help them reach their fitness goals. I love helping people feel better about themselves. I personally know how it feels to lose weight-I lost 35 lbs about a year ago. With exercise and eating right, I have managed to keep it off. My whole life changed and I can’t believe how it boosted my self-esteem and confidence. I hope to extend this experience of my life to my clients, and teach them the tools to help them reach their goals.
