About FitnessGuyz
Your Personal Trainer in Pembroke Pines, Plantation & South Florida
The Story Behind FitnessGuyz
Hi, I’m Mark, founder of FitnessGuyz and your certified personal trainer serving Pembroke Pines, Plantation, Miramar, and throughout South Florida.
For over 20 years, I’ve had the privilege of helping people transform their bodies, exceed their own expectations, and achieve goals they once thought were impossible. But my journey in fitness started long before FitnessGuyz.
My Fitness Journey
From Powerlifting Cham-pion to Your Personal Trainer
I didn’t start as a personal trainer—I started as a teenager with a barbell and a dream.
Powerlifting was my first passion. I competed at the highest levels, setting both state and national powerlifting bench press records that proved what the human body can achieve with dedication, proper training, and relentless determination.
After dominating thepowerlifting platform, I transitioned to bodybuilding, where I learned the art and science of body composition, nutrition, and aesthetic transformation. This experience taught me that fitness isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s deeply personal, and what works for one person might not work for another.
Building Gyms, Building Lives
My success in competition led me to open my own gyms—and that’s where everything changed for me.
Yes, I trained competitive athletes. But the people who truly inspired me were the ones walking through the door for the first time — nervous, uncertain, and hoping that maybe this time would be different.
The mom who hadn’t worked out since having kids 15 years ago.
The professional who’d tried every workout and failed.
The woman who’d tried every diet, hired trainers before, and felt like she’d failed at everything.
These were real people with real challenges — busy jobs, family responsibilities, past injuries, limited time, and years of disappointment from programs that didn’t work.
And when I helped them succeed? When they transformed not just their bodies but their entire lives?
That’s when I realized: my powerlifting records meant nothing compared to seeing a client regain their confidence and finally feel happy with themselves.
That’s the work that matters. That’s why I do this.
Why I Do What I Do
The Moment That Changes Everything
There’s a moment in every client’s journey that makes everything worthwhile.
- It's when someone lifts a weight they swore they'd never lift.
- It's when they see their Styku scan and realize they've lost fat and gained muscle — even though the scale barely moved.
- It's when they climb stairs without getting winded, or fit into clothes they haven't worn in years.
It’s the moment they achieve something they genuinely thought they couldn’t.
That moment—that’s why I train people. That’s why I wake up excited to do this work every single day.
More Than Just Workouts
After 20 years in this industry, I’ve learned something important: people don’t need another generic workout plan. They need someone who believes in them, pushes them, and shows them what they’re truly capable of.
I’ve seen too many people quit because:
- They didn't see results (usually because they were only watching the scale)
- They felt intimidated at commercial gyms
- They couldn't make fitness fit their busy lives
- They didn't have accountability and guidance
That’s why FitnessGuyz is different. I bring professional training, advanced technology, and 20+ years of experience directly to your home in Pembroke Pines, Plantation, or anywhere in South Florida.
No commute. No crowds. No excuses. Just results.

The FitnessGuyz Difference
What Sets Us Apart from Other Trainers
1. Advanced Styku 3D Body Scanning Technology
I invested in professional Styku 3D body scanning equipment because my clients deserve to see their real progress—not just a number on a scale that doesn’t tell the whole story.
Styku shows you exactly where you’re losing fat and gaining muscle with clinical precision. It’s the same technology used by medical facilities and professional sports teams, and we’re one of the only in-home personal training companies in South Florida that has it.
When you see your 3D body model change over time, you stay motivated even when the scale is lying to you.
2. In-Home Convenience That Actually Works
I’ve owned gyms. I know what it’s like dealing with crowds, commutes, and waiting for equipment.
That’s why I bring everything to you—professional equipment, expert coaching, and advanced technology—right to your home in Pembroke Pines, Plantation, Miramar, Weston, or anywhere in South Florida.
No gym membership needed. No driving through traffic. Just show up in your own space and we get to work.
3. Owner-Operated Personal Service
When you train with FitnessGuyz, you train with me—not a rotating cast of newly certified trainers or random subcontractors.
You get 20+ years of experience, state and national record-holding knowledge, and someone who genuinely cares about your success.
4. Real Results, Proven with Data
I don’t guess about your progress—I measure it with Styku technology.
You’ll see exactly:
- How much body fat you've lost (in pounds and percentage)
- How much lean muscle you've gained
- Where your body is changing (arms, waist, thighs, etc.)
- Your transformation in 3D visual format
Because what gets measured gets managed.

My Training Approach
How I Help You Succeed
It's Personal:
Every program I design is customized for your body, your goals, your schedule, and your life. No cookie-cutter templates. No generic plans downloaded from the internet.
It's Science-Based:
I use Styku 3D body scanning to track your real progress—body fat percentage, lean muscle mass, and over 200 precise measurements. This isn’t guesswork. It’s data-driven transformation.
It's Sustainable:
I don’t believe in crash diets, extreme workouts you can’t maintain, or approaches that work for 12 weeks then fail. I teach you habits that last a lifetime.
It's About You, Not Me:
I’ve set powerlifting records and competed in bodybuilding. Those achievements mean nothing if I can’t help YOU achieve what matters to YOU—whether that’s losing 50 pounds, getting stronger, moving without pain, or just feeling confident in your body again.
What Clients Say
Real Transformations from Real People
"Mark is BEST IN CLASS!!"
“I had been thinking about finding a trainer for about six months to begin a formalized weight routine…but was reluctant because I was concerned about finding someone I could connect with, who understood what I needed and the science behind the weights, diet, etc. I met Mark when I saw him driving with his business advertised on his vehicle…and decided to give him a call. WHAT A FIND!!! I have had dozens of trainers over the years….NONE better than Mark…he knows his stuff, he’s personable, he is ALWAYS on time, and genuinely cares about his clients. For anyone, at any level, who wants to get fit, put on muscle mass, get leaner…and work with someone that makes you feel comfortable from the moment you meet him….LOOK NO FURTHER AND GIVE MARK A CALL!!!!”

"Mark at Fitness Guyz is an absolutely fantastic trainer! "
“I hired him to help me get my body back after having a baby and he’s got the right balance of patience, firmness and motivation. He has also invested in the Styku system which includes regular full body scans and an interactive app that lets me see my progress in a whole new way. The tech nerd in me is in love!!
He’s helped me maintain consistency and i actually enjoy gym day now (ok maybe not leg day lol)”
