"For the Wife & Kids" - Fitness & Fatherhood: Mark's PPS Story

Mark shares how the day he couldn't tie his laces was when he decided he needed to regain control of his health & fitness, if not for his wellbeing, but for his wife and young family.

Mark has since become a leader in many areas of his life: at his local sports club, at home, at work and in the PPS Community.

Going from someone who wouldn't usually feel comfortable in a gym to completing over 600 x workouts in his 4-year tenure at PPS.

It hasn't been a smooth journey, and it started rocky. But with a strong "Why" to use as an ongoing source of motivation, Mark has busted through barriers, learned a lot of lessons and become a better role-model & leader through health & fitness.
