"Upon my first meeting
with Mark I thought to myself, I hope I don't
embarrass myself too much. After a year of being a
couch potato, flabby and tired all the time, I
decided it was time to do something. At our first
meeting he explained that he would be giving me a
fitness evaluation to see where I stood. Outwardly I
smiled, but inside I was hoping that I made it
through the evaluation. As we finished he asked me
to bend over and touch my toes, I panicked, thinking
there is no way I can do that. Despite my past
involvement with yoga, kickboxing, etc, I have never
been able to touch my toes; at best I touch my
knees. So I reached over and struggled to tap my
kneecaps, thinking, 'this is bad'.
Fast forward to 4 months later after working with
Mark 2-3x a week, the changes that I have seen and
felt have been amazing. I have dropped weight, and
felt better than I have felt in years. Gone are the
1-2 hour naps I needed after work, my energy level
is soaring. Gone are the mood swings and insomnia
brought on by menopause, on workout days I go to bed
at a normal hour and sleep like a baby. I am calmer,
more relaxed and more motivated than ever to take
care of myself. Mark has consistently encouraged me
to push myself, yet he does it in a way that is
positive, not punitive. Too often trainers push
their clients to the point of pain, that is never
the case with Mark. He works you hard, but is always
checking in to see how I feel. At 50 years old that
is much appreciated. His knowledge about what is
right for the client makes you feel secure under his
instruction. He is dedicated to bringing out the
best in his clients, encouraging lifestyle changes,
not quick fixes.
This has been the best thing I have done for myself
in a long time, I recommend Fitness Shadow and
Mark Falk to anyone regardless of the shape you are
in. By the way after 4 months I am happy to report
that I can not just touch my toes, but I can easily
reach the floor! A little goal for some, but a huge
goal for me!!!" ---B.K. Female Age 50,
Sayville, NY

 "Wow! What a difference
Mark has made in my son’s life. He’s 13yrs
old and had become a couch potato and video game
drone. Although he still ate healthy food and snacks
he was steadily gaining weight because he wasn’t
moving. The turning point came when he dropped out
of Lacrosse because he couldn’t keep up during
practice. He had developed Exercise Induced Asthma
and didn’t want to let his team down. He felt bad.
As a parent the last thing you want to see is your
child hurting and their self-esteem suffer. His
doctor said he had to lose weight and start
exercising regularly and we could possibly reverse
the situation. That’s where Mark came in. His great
attitude and personal commitment to my son and his
health have been amazing. The results outstanding!
He’s lost a pant size, the belly, and has not had an
Asthma attack. More importantly, he looks and feels
better. He really enjoys working with Mark and has
fun at the same time! As a freshman in High School
he has more confidence in himself and is looking
forward to Lacrosse. Fitness Shadow should be a part
of our kid’s daily life!" -- Odette, Medford
UPDATE:
Zach is now 17. After this Testimonial, he went down
to 148lbs and 18% body fat. The girls love him! He
started at 5' tall, 168lbs, and 34.5% body fat.
After his first six months, he had no signs of
exercise induced asthma, and shortly after he was
down to the above body fat and weight. He's now
5'6", 155lbs of muscle...and athletic! Good job
Zach! |
| "I don't normally enjoy
working out, but Mark makes it fun -- and most
importantly, you get noticeable results with Mark. I
feel more fit and healthy than I've had in years. I
can't believe how much stronger I got from our
work-outs. If I could, I'd work out with Mark every
day ... he is a great personal trainer and a great
motivator -- exactly what you need if you want to
get in shape and can't do it on your own!" -- Winnie
S, Hauppauge, New York |
| "I've never really looked
forward to working out. Then I found out I could do
it in my home, and not have to worry about
babysitters, or driving back and forth in a rush.
Mark's a personal trainer that you can enjoy. His
workouts are fun, I feel better, and I feel like I
know what my workouts do for me, not just how they
make me feel and look! I've been on weight watchers
and lost weight, but not that much fat percentage as
Mark pointed out. I've reduced my body fat by over
2% in the last 6 weeks, my pants fit better, I feel
stronger, and he keeps coming up with these
incredible workouts so I'm never bored. I'd
recommend him to anyone in any shape!" Joan -

| “Mark truly is a ‘Fitness
Shadow’. He inspires you with tailor-made workouts
bringing the personal trainer fitness experience to
your home. I can now focus on my own progress
without feeling discouraged by having to share a
facility with more advanced gym members. Twenty
minutes of cardio flies by with fun activities like
boxing and stepping. Mark not only trains, he
educates too. During my training sessions I’ve
learned that working out does so much more for my
body than to simply allow me to fit into my favorite
pair of jeans again. I’m standing taller and feeling
better, and colleagues are asking me what my secret
is.” Tina - Blue Point, Long Island |
