Testimonials
The kettlebell workouts are fun and challenging and Mark targets the workout to how you are feeling on each particular day, so they never get boring. In addition to the improvement in my physical fitness, Mark’s expertise as a life-coach has taught me how to use a combination of exercise and relaxation in order to control my stress levels. This has improved my ability at work and general well-being. I would highly recommend him as both a trainer and a life-coach.

Mark has been an excellent trainer, and I have found his kettlebell based workouts fun and never repetitive. They are especially good as both aerobic and anaerobic systems are addressed. Mark’s knowledge of exercise physiology is excellent, and he uses it in a practical way to help his clients. He is highly recommended!
Dr James Harraway
Read the flyers about Kettlebelling and believe them. Twice a week for half an hour really does make a difference. You will tone and feel fitter with increased stamina levels in just a short period of time. Combine this with the PBP coach’s passion, enthusiasm and extensive knowledge about everything there is to know about getting fit and staying fit and you simply cannot go wrong.

I am excited about kettlebell training. It is improving my muscle tone, strengthening the core in particular, and making a big difference in my cardio endurance. And the training is progressive - so there is always more to gain. Highly recommended!

I was surprised by the effectiveness of Kettlebell training. Two noticeable differences in my physical fitness emerged as a result of this unique combination of strength- and flexibility exercise: Firstly, total body movements were enhanced in strength, endurance and agility, underpinning other forms of sport like running or swimming with a distinctive dynamic. Secondly, I observed an increased cardiovascular capacity which contributed to a general sense of well being. A very enjoyable form of exercise.
Dr Markus Schichtel
Being a company owner means I am extremely busy and do not have a regular schedule. Using the kettlebells for training has enabled me to reach my personal goals for strength and stamina training in much shorter periods of time than I would have spent at the gym. Mark as a coach has a huge amount of knowledge, way beyond the physical training side, including nutrition and general lifestyle changes so that you can get the most from the training. His fantastic personality makes the training time a thoroughly enjoyable experience.

I have been receiving personal training sessions from Mark using kettlebells since November 2007. His enthusiasm and easy manner means the sessions are always fun as well as effective. The routine is never the same twice and tailored to my needs on that day, with intelligent use of heart rate monitoring and understanding of the body’s mechanics. The PBP coach are unique in his broad experience and depth of knowledge that sets him apart from other trainers I have trained with.
Dr James Pritchard
I have been kettlebell training with Mark Johnson for a year and a half. I will not do anything but kettlebell ever again! It always changes and you are never bored - ever! It’s challenging and the results are incredible - it’s not just that I’m fitter -which I am - it’s that my body actually changed shape - it’s leaner and more toned. I have done both the Powerbell Pump Level 1 and Level 2 and it is so fun - it flies by and again - my body was challenged and I see a difference just after a few weeks - and the classes are just 30 minutes - it really is exceptional.

Mark’s approach to fitness training is extremely results-oriented. After only a couple of weeks training, I began to see extremely favourable results not only in terms of body shape, but also in endurance levels and general fitness. As a personal trainer, Mark has shown total dedication to my fitness objectives and has motivated me to exceed my potential, continuously raising the bar and taking the training to new levels. His extensive knowledge of nutrition and physiology, in tandem with innovative exercise techniques in the use of Kettlebells, has help me to improve the balance of my busy professional work life balance.
