What Our Clients Says
Roshan Chainani2025-06-23Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been training with Marian since early 2023. He is an excellent and knowledgeable practitioner. He is patient but holds clients to account in their practice. I have seen changes to my physique and posture that I have been trying to address for years, but to no avail with other disciplines. Highly recommended. Ali2024-12-11Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Been working with Marian for a while now, and can't recommend him enough! He really takes time to listen to your concerns and goals. His level of competence and expertise is clear in how he tailors each session to your specific needs. I never feel rushed, and he ensures that I fully understand each step of the process. If you're looking for someone who truly cares about your progress and well-being, Marian is the guy Ankeet Tanna2024-11-25Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Before working with Marian, my training was always interrupted by chronic injuries flaring up. But now, over the last couple of years working closely with Marian, we've been focusing on solving my problems head-on, prioritising good functional movement. My chronic injuries have significantly improved, my posture is better, my body is stronger, and my mental state is clearer. It's amazing what the right trainer can do for you - and Marian has delivered beyond what I could imagine. Couldn't recommend him more. Thank you! Raj2024-11-22Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have been working with Marian since April 2024. Prior to meeting him I was doing calisthenics, barre and pilates. I was in good shape; all these activities improved my stamina and strength, and made me feel good. However I had constant niggles in my right shoulder and lower back which were persistent but not painful. I started regular sessions with Marian. At first I was a little sceptical, because to achieve the best results with FP I was advised to stop all other activities. I was a little anxious as I had a regular routine and a close circle of friends from my regular activities but I decided to try FP for a month. Marian recommended I start the 10 week online course alongside our 1:1 sessions. By the end of the first week I was hooked! Through Marian’s extensive knowhow and guidance I learnt about the importance of neutral posture, pelvic tilts and the limitations of passive stretching. He taught me a huge amount about my body and correct movement. Marian has a lovely manner. He is super patient and kind and is able to push me even when I think I cannot give anymore. Through his knowhow and observation he can always advise on how to get more from each movement. Even though the movements are demanding, I feel they are safe and hugely beneficial for my body. Marian has shared his MFR knowhow to help me better understand my issues. I’m 8 months into the training and feel significantly better. We are now digging deeper into the alignment issues on the right hand side of my body. I’m excited to be learning so much and feel empowered with the knowledge and training Marian is sharing with me. Working with him as made me realise how much was lacking from all my other activities! Andrew Masanto2024-11-19Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marian's sessions have been a game changer for me. His knowledge of Functional Patterns and biomechanics has improved my posture, movement, and overall well-being. He is professional, attentive, and passionate about helping clients achieve their goals. Highly recommend! Lior Neu-ner2024-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’ve been training with Marian for a year and can highly recommend him. Before training with him, I was doing FP for 6 months on my own. The difference between doing with Marian and on my own is incomparable. I wish I had started training with him from the beginning. The way I understand my body and pain has changed drastically Alejandro Galindo2024-03-24Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Marian is a fantastic coach. Very constructive and always willing to challenge you, yet easy-going and extremely kind. I started training with him after a few months of having on and off lower back pain. Within the first few weeks of the program (working on basic standing and abdominal strength) I saw substantial improvements. Granted FP may not be for everyone as some may prefer other training methods, but Marian is knowledgeable and excellent (and patient) at explaining biomechanics. You have to put in the time and effort but the methods he uses really teach you how to move in a way that makes sense for your body. Olivia Vellotti2020-11-18Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Health is a habit and Marian is the ideal coach to help you make permanent changes in your everyday choices which will have long lasting effects. While working with Marian I lost 33 pounds (2.3 stone) and most importantly, I've been able to keep it off, through lock down and closed gyms etc because of the permanent changes in my lifestyle which Marian helped me make. When I was first introduced to Marian by a colleague I hadn’t realized how badly I’d let bad habits reign causing my weight to sky rocket. Marian’s kind and professional attitude and his constant and tailor support helped me get back on track in improving my health in a real and sustainable way. In the beginning when I really struggled with eating habits, Marian would check in daily about what meal choices I was making and would even help me review menus when eating out. When lockdown happened Marian was quick to help me adapt my routine and habits to this new way of life and encouraged me most of all to look after my mental health. I could not recommend Marian highly enough, he has completely changed my life for the better and is a constant source of insight and motivation.

He truly is an exceptional coach because he understands that wellness encompasses every aspect of your life, not just exercise - we had many enjoyable discussions about cultivating good habits and I can say with certainty that these few months are the healthiest and most centred I’ve felt in years, and something I strive to maintain as a daily practice. Marian is hands-down the most professional trainer I’ve ever worked with (and there have been a few!), and I would not hesitate to recommend him to anyone looking for guidance on how to live better in general. The materials he provides (his personal training app, food / smoothie recipes, etc) are all very professional, visually appealing and useful, and I found the weekly calls very helpful in keeping track of progress - indeed, I lost about 4kg and dropped a size down over just 2 months. There are many trainers out there who will just help you look good on the outside, but Marian goes beyond the superficial to make sure you feel good mentally and live a life of deeper meaning (e.g. through meditation and self-awareness), and this will really make a key difference in the quality of your life. He has also shown me that having the holy trinity of sleep, diet and exercise in control will prime you to make better choices in every other area of your life. Whether you are considering working with Marian in-person or virtually (and whatever your fitness goals may be), I say do it - there is a reason why I decided to engage him again even after leaving London, and will definitely consider doing so again in the future if the need arises. ------------------------------------- 2019 REVIEW: I've trained with Marian for 6 months now and am so thankful for him! I fractured my femur last year (was doing a lot of running and heavy cardio), and decided to start focusing on weight training in the gym instead to increase my bone density, get stronger physically and to NOT injure myself again. When I started training with Marian I was at my absolute weakest after being bedridden for ages, but I knew I was in good hands by how professional and knowledgeable he is with his training programs. He helped me regain my confidence in my own strength and in navigating the gym on my own, even without his help. Marian also kept me accountable of my own nutrition and diet, and was full of tips and advice in that regard. I've heard plenty of horror stories as far as trainers go across the gyms in London from friends, but Marian is definitely the real deal! Thanks to him I'm now the strongest and fittest I've ever been. I can't recommend him enough so if you're thinking of starting a training program with him... definitely go for it! Rory Brown2020-04-12Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. In my 'youth' I used to be quite sporty, playing a lot of football, running and keeping active. But after too many hours on planes, in hotels, restaurants and convention centres my general fitness and health had declined. About a year ago I signed up with Marian to put that right. I was not after a quick fix but just looking to increase my fitness, energy levels, strength and flexibility. Marian has helped me immeasurably through a combination of 1-2-1 training programmes, nutrition advice and better lifestyle habits. I feel more mentally alert and fitter than ever. Marian is a great trainer, good fun and motivating. If you need external input to kickstart things or to get a training & nutrition programme back on track I recommend him highly.
