One-to-one coaching for men and women over 40 in Hastings, St Leonards, Bexhill and across East Sussex based at Pure Gym Hastings in Bexhill Road. Built around your goals, your life and your body — not a template.
Most gyms offer generic programmes that work for the average person — except there's no such thing. You have a unique body, unique history, unique goals and a real life to fit training around.
As your personal trainer, Mark takes the time to understand all of that before designing a single session. Whether you're looking to lose weight, build strength, recover from injury or simply start moving again — every programme is built from scratch, for you.
"I don't believe in punishing people into shape. I believe in building habits that last." — Mark Saker
Every session works towards your specific goals — not a pre-set class format.
Regular measurements and check-ins so you can see exactly how far you've come.
Practical guidance on eating — not a meal plan you'll ditch after three days.
Mark checks in between sessions. You're never left to figure it out alone.

Absolutely. Many of Mark's most successful clients had never set foot in a gym before they started. Every programme is built from scratch around your current fitness level. Mark specialises in helping beginners build confidence and results without any judgement.
Most clients notice improvements in energy, mood and strength within 3–4 weeks. Visible body composition changes typically appear at 6–8 weeks with consistent training and following the nutrition guidance. The timeline varies depending on individual goals and starting point.
If training at PureGym, you'll need a PureGym membership (available from around £25/month). Mark can advise on the best membership option. Outdoor sessions require no gym membership at all.
Mark has experience working with clients managing various health conditions and injuries. He will always work within guidelines and in liaison with your GP or physiotherapist where necessary. Please mention any conditions during your free consultation.
