IRENE PINK - AS FEATURED IN WOMENS DAY FOR HER AMAZING 30 KGS WEIGHT LOSS STORY!
"Marcus has had the dubious pleasure of having to work with me, someone who barely tolerates exercise and would much rather be drinking a glass of wine in the garden. Not satisfied with my laissez fare attitude, Marcus basically told me to either take your exercise seriously or never see results."And he’s right."
"And he’s quite funny. Not as funny as me, but you can’t have everything.

"I’ve lost more weight in the past 6 months than I have in the past 6 years"
"Since I started training with Marcus about 6 months ago I’ve seen a massive improvement. I’m physically fitter, my overall health has improved and I’m getting my waist back! I’ve struggled to lose weight for many years due to a health condition, but Marcus has been fantastic at keeping me motivated and really seems to understand my individual needs - I’ve lost more weight in the past 6 months than I have in the past 6 years."
"I always feel like I’ve worked hard after a session, but I’m actually enjoying exercising. Marcus makes sure the sessions are always different, he never lets me slack off and I really appreciate the contact between sessions to keep me on track. I’m even looking forward to the next 6 months!"
Thanks,

"I lost 5% body fat and 4.5 inches on my waist in 6 weeks"
I needed a quick fix. I was meeting my in laws for the first time after 2 years of being married to my husband. I was really concerned about the way I let myself go after I got married and put on some "comfort" weight.I wanted to look the way I used to look in my wedding pictures. I had 6 weeks to go and 5 kgs to lose. Now I consider myself as a bit of a health fanatic when it comes to losing wieght. I didn't want to do some crazy fad diet and lose weight too quickly and get unhealthy in the process. I wanted to do it right.
Enter Marcus...Marcus trains a few of my collegues and I was very impressed by the way he trained them. I personally never liked fitness trainers because I always thought, they are for people who lacked self motivation.With Marcus I stand corrected. He is something else.
He told me straight up that it was only possible if I agreed to be committed and dedicated and that he would help me if I did it right. We started training twice a week, it was a combination of circuit training and kickboxing. The training was intense, demanding and very challenging but that was not all. Marcus wrote a diet plan for me very specific to my pallate.Did I mention I am a fanatic? He checked on me frequently, made sure I stayed away from carbs and went on a lean meat diet with lots of veges and fruits.
The results were spectacular. It was very hard work but absolutely worth every "inch" of it. I did not lose the desired weight but I lost twice the amount of body fat than I expected which was even better. I had more muscles, I was a lot more fit and toned. Marcus was brilliant, he constantly reminded me, " you want results..you got to put in the effort" I secretly hated him but I couldn't have achieved the result without Marcus. Thanks buddy...you rock!!

"The best investment I have ever made"
"Marcus has been training me 3 days a week for 8 months now. He comes to my home which happens to be a farm in East Auckland. Wow what a great 8
months they have been, and the best investment I have ever made. I decided it was time to invest in myself.
When I first employed Marcus I wanted to lose weight as every women does, but I am a very bad asthmatic and would spend a lot of time in hospital during the course of a year. I have had many close calls and my children have had to grow up watching the paramedics come to mums bedroom and drag her out on a stretcher. I decided something had to change if I wanted to be there for my children. I knew I had to get stronger in order to survive. I was so scared of exercise as I didn’t want to bring on an asthma attack. It had been many years since I had exercised in any way, so I was not looking forward to what was ahead of me.
Then along came Marcus, and from that day my life has changed. I haven’t been in hospital this year which is amazing for me. I work really hard and am stronger than ever. Marcus has taken the time to understand my asthma and also my fears and has encouraged me and inspired me to keep trying new things. I have not spent 10 mins in a gym while training with Marcus, all training is done on the farm and in such a fun way it is so easy to forget that you are actually working every muscle in your body while enjoying a great cardio work out. I do my lunges with a big white chicken named Henrietta tucked under one arm and she loves it to.
I have had many personal achievements along the way, but the ones I can share with my children are by far the best. I can now play a game of rugby with them, and chase them through the paddocks, just the other day I climbed a tree with my children which I have never been able to do. For the first time I seen pride in there eyes instead of fear.
A friend asked me the other day “How could I afford to have a personal trainer 3 days a week”? My answer to that is simple….. I can’t afford not to have Marcus!
Thank you Marcus for your continued support and for making me smile and reminding me what it’s like to breath again!!!!"

"I just wanted to say that I have thoroughly enjoyed the training… losing 12kgs of fat and gaining 5kgs of muscle is an incredible experience I love the changes in my body and improved level of fitness! My friends & family have all commented on the changes in my appearance – and it has all been extremely positive!"
You have taught me so much about weight training, and personally I enjoy working with you.
Thanks,

Loosing 18kgs over 3 months was the best thing that has ever happend to me, something in my mind clicked after going through photos of my birthday party and i thought ive got to make the change and do something about the way i am and feel.
Thats when i thought why not utilise the tools i have and try out my brothers at home personal training - I used to hear the word exercise and id shudder but with Marcus coming to my house and me not having to bare my body in a gym enviroment - I have never felt so pushed and motivated to eat healthy and exercise.
I am so happy with the results and the new me - motivated and love motivating people to jump on the get fit and healthy boat!! (Yeap hes my brother but at the end of the day we got the results we were both after and photos to prove it) Thanks Marc xx

"I lost my stubborn pregnancy fat and stretch marks!!"
"What can I say about Marcus Steward?! After the first two months of following Marcus’ meals advice and workout programme, my body fat dropped instantly from 23% to 19% and my waist line was reduced by an inch! With further four weeks of combination workout routine, my body fat is now at targeted 15% and I witness tremendous change in my body, all in a very good way; blocks of muscles are starting to show on my abs and my resistance strength has doubled with firm arms and legs."

"Relatives and friends are extremely impressed at the difference it has made to me"
"Since joining the program, I have found my core strength and flexibility today, 10 months later, to be that of a much younger woman, not of the 65 year old that I am. It gives me great satisfaction to also be able to compete and keep up with the young things. Relatives and friends are extremely impressed at the difference it has made to me so many thanks Marcus for showing the way and giving me so much encouragement. You’re the man!!!"

"I experience a sense of youthfulness as a result of just two one hour sessions per week"
“I attend the Foundation workouts in a small group conducted by Marcus. I now experience a greater range of movement in torso and limbs. Quite frankly I experience a sense of youthfulness as a result of just two one hour sessions per week.
"I am more confident to present myself in front of people and talk to them"
"My body fat rate has been reduced from 28% to 20%, plus my body weight has dropped 8 kg from 58kg to 50kg. Now I can also see muscle packs coming out gradually from my arms, my legs and even my hips everyday.
Everything I have done is just to follow Marcus’ instructions on workout and diet. It works really well on me. Now I am more confident to present myself in front of people and talk to them."
Thank you so much,

"Making every workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun!"
"I have never been into exercise so how could a personal trainer turn a couch potato into a gym bunny? Marcus Steward seems to have the recipe for success. I have been training with Marcus for 6 months now. I wouldn't call myself a gym bunny just yet but I do look forward to our 2:1 sessions twice a week. He is passionate about health and fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. He easy going, friendly and is able to create a relaxed, comfortable training atmosphere. He makes every workout challenging, creative and most importantly, fun! If you are serious about getting fit and leading a healthier life style , Marcus will lead you every step of the way. His professionalism, extensive knowledge and enthusiastic commitment to his work and clients, provides the perfect combination for success."
Thank you Marcus!

"I don’t get sick anymore, I don’t get back pain anymore, and I am much happier with the way I look at a solid 81kgs"
I first started training with Marcus over 2 years ago. At this point I weighed less than 70kg and had very little functional strength. I had lots of problems with both core strength and stabilisers especially in my shoulders. This led to lower back problems and a poor posture...at age 18! Now I lead a self professed healthy lifestyle, I don’t get sick anymore, I don’t get back pain anymore, and I am much happier with the way I look at a solid 81kgs. Marcus is good at making training fun, and keeping me motivated which is all I want out of training...results are just a bonus! Thanks Marcus,

"2 weeks I could already see results in my abs, butt and thighs"
My job involves me looking good and I have a very limited time to fit exercise into my week. I workout with Marcus twice a week and love how the workout combines cardio and resistance training into one session.
The workouts have given me amazing results that use to require me training 4-5 days a week in the gym (but that didn’t last long). It is very fast and effective, which works for my busy schedule.
By two weeks in, I could already see results in my abs, butt and thighs which were my initial goals. We usually train in the park which is always fun and doesn’t even feel like exercise until the next day when I’m feeling it walking up the stairs haha!
