Mark Varelas – Personal Trainer

Personal Trainer – Mark Varelas is a dedicated fitness professional with a passion for helping others overcome physical challenges and achieve their fitness goals. Growing up, Mark harbored a deep desire to play sports but faced disappointment due to his natural disposition of being both slow and skinny. Determined to make a change, he embarked on a transformative journey after graduating high school.At the age of 17, standing at 5’11” and weighing only 137 pounds, Mark focused on addressing his ectomorphic build by immersing himself in strength training. With an unwavering commitment to building muscle, he delved into extensive research on bodybuilding techniques, sought guidance from various trainers, and experimented with different methodologies.Like many fitness enthusiasts who push their limits, Mark encountered injuries during his rigorous six-day-a-week gym routine. However, instead of giving up, he chose to adapt his training approach, incorporating effective recovery strategies to prevent dysfunction, loss of strength, and mobility. This experience with injury management, gained long before he officially studied fitness and health, proved invaluable in shaping Mark’s understanding of the body’s needs.In 2012, after a decade-long career as a professional musician, Mark made the decision to transition from the stage to the realm of wellness. He pursued massage therapy and discovered his natural talent for deep tissue, sports, and medical massage practices, specializing in assisting active individuals in their recovery journeys. Mark’s personal encounters with similar challenges provided him with a profound empathy and a comprehensive understanding of his clients’ needs, setting him apart in his field.Responding to the persistent requests of his massage clients, Mark obtained his certification from the National Academy of Sports Medicine (NASM) in 2020 and began offering personal training services on a part-time basis. His extensive personal experience in muscle building, injury management, and massage therapy has equipped him with an exceptional understanding of the intricacies of the body and the process of achieving optimal fitness.Mark’s areas of expertise lie in working around or through injuries and muscular dysfunction, maximizing gains while preventing future injuries, addressing specific body parts, and improving muscular imbalances. Moreover, his genuine care and celebration of his clients’ successes have earned him a reputation for going above and beyond expectations.As a testament to his commitment to helping others embark on their fitness journeys, Mark is currently offering a generous 50% discount off the first training session.
