I was considering Marko as a trainer until I read his web page — marko
.. Take a look at Succinct Instincts — the section on women. Not only is it unprofessional but It scares me to see him discussing orgasms and rape fantasies online. I think he would be diagnosed as a psychopath by a professional. Just read his website and you can decide for yourself if his behavior is appropriate for a fitness trainer or anyone dealing with the public. There are many good trainers out there to choose from. Marko is not one of them. Even worse, he’s married with kids. What an awful role model.
Marko if you are reading this I strongly suggest you get help and a new website!

Marko’s physique is very balanced and healthy — it seems as if all muscles are in balance. He could probably win at a basketball game, a sprint and a pull-​up contest.
This made me decide to train with him because my goal is to be functionally strong like Marko in order to avoid injuries as an athlete. I’ve learned that aesthetic image is a result of achieving this goal of muscular balance — not vice versa.
He offered to teach me his personal workout and its something I can do in most parks from an elementary school to a national forest. Its working great so far!
I like to surround myself with positive people who their enjoy work and life. I knew from our first conversation that I wanted Marko to be my trainer — it was obvious to me how competent he is at physical and mental fitness.
Do something different and call Marko!

Bottom line: I’ve lost 25 lbs and re-​gained a craving for exercise since I started training with Marko 9 months ago. Feel free to stop here if you are already sold, but I’ll give you my story if you need some more convincing.
Last year I put on 50 pounds during my pregnancy with my first child. I realized towards the end of my pregnancy that if I did not do something to lose that weight after I gave birth that I would be «one of those women who lost their figure and never got it back» for the rest of my life. I decided then that my goal was to be back to my pre-​pregnancy weight by the time I went back to work after maternity leave. Marko helped me achieve this goal, and I absolutely could not have done it without him.
I started training with Marko six weeks and three days postpartum. I had not worked out for months since before my pregnancy, and had not consistently worked out in years. I was very lucky to lose 35 of those 50 pounds the first three weeks after I gave birth just from nursing, but the weight loss stopped there and I was stuck with another fifteen pounds that wouldn’t budge.
The first thing you notice about Marko is that he is incredibly fit. The next thing you notice about Marko is that everyone he is training is incredibly fit. As I looked at the perfectly sculpted body of the other woman Marko would be training alongside me that first day I felt completely intimidated and extremely hopeful at the same time. I wondered if I would ever get back into my pre-​pregnancy jeans, but I figured if he helped her look as good as she did perhaps there was hope for me too. The thing is, she is not an anomaly. Everyone who works out with him looks that good!
I’m not going to lie, the training was brutal at first. I was completely out of shape, and working out after 3 – 5 hours of interrupted sleep with a newborn was no joke. But Marko ramped me up slowly. I loved his philosophy about the intensity of workouts. He would demonstrate an exercise for me, give me the number of sets and reps, and then told me to complete them at my own pace. He gave me an analogy about his dog Pablo, «Pablo fetches the ball over and over again until he is tired. Then he stops for a bit an rests in the shade. When he is ready to play again he gets up and keeps going», Marko told me. So I worked out as hard as I could, and I rested when I needed to before starting again.
Marko gradually ramped up the intensity of my workouts over the next few weeks as I grew stronger and stronger. I only had the energy to work out with him twice per week, but I committed to always go train with him those two times weekly no matter how exhausted I was from taking care of my new baby. Within a month or so I noticed an incredible change in my stamina and the amount of weight I could lift. By the time I went back to work I had lost every last one of those 15 pounds of pregnancy weight. My co-​workers were completely amazed that I had lost all 50 pounds in just 4 and a half months.
I’m not sure if it was harder to start working out with a newborn or to keep working out after returning to work full-​time and taking care of an infant when I got home. I can also honestly say that I would’ve fallen off the wagon if it wasn’t for Marko encouraging me to keep up my new level of fitness and to not lose momentum. As I tried to get back into the groove at work there were times I was not able to train with Marko and would instead try to workout on my own. Marko would send me texts to check in on me and ask if I had made time to workout that week. The guilt I would feel if I had not done so would make me go to the gym the next day. Plus I knew that he would kick my a*#$ the next time I trained with him so I better stay in shape or I would be seriously feeling it.
I am still training with Marko, and I now weigh 10 pounds less than I did when I got pregnant. This weekend I put on a dress I bought before I met my husband that had not fit since. The dress fit perfectly, and he had never seen me in it in the five years we have been together. I can now say that Marko has not only transformed my body but he has transformed my life. I really look forward to working out with him, and am self-​motivated to workout on my own three or four days a week.
Marko still sends me texts to check in on me and make sure I’m, «Doing my homework,» as he says. The best part is when I workout at the same time as one of his other clients who hasn’t seen me for awhile and they say, «Wow, you look great!».
So what are you waiting for?! If we happen to train at the same time one of these days I guarantee you won’t know that I am the one who weighed over 200 pounds last July. I am on my way to having the beautiful atheletic body the rest of Marko’s clients have as you will be too if you call Marko!

Marko is an extraordinary fitness coach and means business when it comes to strength training and helping you reach your goals! He customizes each workout to keep it fresh, exciting, and challenge my body everytime. His workouts at the park beat the stuffy feeling of the gym any day. For noticeable results, I recommend him to all my friends!
