Dropped to my ideal weight and stayed there
Since listening to Mark’s advice, about supplementation truth and nutrition…I have built muscle like never before…I have also dropped to my ideal weight and stayed there even when I didn’t train for a week on holidays…and I can lift so much more…eating and supplementation used to be a challenge for me… because I would read so much conflicting information… now it’s a mystery no more. Thank you Mark for your dedication to providing the real information for people.

I’ve lost 6kgs but I’m sure I’ve put on muscle as well. I love your training program and I can’t wait to take it to the next level. The supplements work amazingly for my body and I feel like I’m back on track. I have lots more work to do but your guidance has been great. You’re a very knowledgeable guy!
Thanks so much.

Personal Trainer and ‘bored gym goer’
I had been training for years and was getting bored with the usual gym machine workouts. He gave me the variety that I was looking for and I look forward training with him every week. I really like doing the “Strong Man” exercises as it gives me a sense of challenge and accomplishment. I like that even though I’m a girly girl I can still do it. …..

Mark holds me accountable to my goals…
Before I met Mark I was all over the place with my fitness, skipping workouts and very unfit.
When he first did my bodyfat, I was 30% and very unsatisfied with the state of my health.
Since training with Mark I have lost 8% bodyfat and have put on 3 lean kilos of muscle.
For me, the best thing about training with Mark is that he holds me accountable to my goals.

Gym owners and Fitness Competitors found the results they were looking for after 25 years of trying
My husband Mick & I have always been addicted to fitness and weight training and have been doing a variety of programs for over 25 years. Then…..we found Maximus Mark who provided a full program that had all the necessary ingredients to prepare ourselves for our first Body Building Competition. Programs provided sound nutrition advice ensuring that our bodies were well nourished and fuelled up for some gruelling training session’s. The training programs that Mark has provided both of us with, has transformed our bodies beyond our expectations and we are continuing to get stronger and leaner each week….We have also made some changes in the way that we train our clients all thanks to Enterprise Fitness and Mark’s training programs.

Life changing!
Thank you so much for pretty much changing my life! After years of restrictive eating and stupid diets that always left me feeling tired, lethargic, unhappy and struggling to train at my best. I have finally found what I now call the “way of life” approach to eating and training with the help of your program I have never had more energy and strive in the gym, my skin, hair nails have never grown so much and looked so healthy, my stomach has never been so flat and my body has seemed to form into its perfect shape….you saved a girl like me from living the rest of her life on stupid diets making us miserable counting calories and being afraid to have “meat” or “fats” on our plates! I am now stronger, leaner and the happiest I’ve ever been.

Personal Trainer finally getting results
I met Mark when I studied at the AIF and I knew there was something different about him. He abstained from the general fitness approach that you see everywhere. I began learning from Mark in June 2010; since then my training principles and nutrition have excelled. I weighed 69kg back then, now I weigh just under 80kg. I can also lift a hell of a lot more with correct technique. Mark has taught me skills I will remember for life and can include everyday to enhance my wellbeing. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking to learn more about their physical capabilities or how to train/eat properly for significant gains. Thanks again Mark you are a light in the midst of darkness that is the fitness industry.
Sam Sanders, Army
When I started training with Mark my body fat was 25%. I was a little surprised it was that high as I had been training 3 days a week.
I decided to start training to loose weight. I got down to 17% in a few short months. I found the biggest difference was the attention to detail in both nutrition and training. Mark taught me a lifestyle to implement and not a ‘diet’.
As my work is very demanding of my time, this has been something I have struggled with and now have a routine I can stick to.
Additionally, my deadlift has gone from 120kilos to 180 kilos. Something I attribute to Marks detailed knowledge in program design.
I would highly recommend personal training with Mark and the team at Enterprise Fitness

Mum of 4 getting results from spending less
I’m a single mum of 4 little ones and I don’t have an endless supply of money (or time) to spend on supplements and training. I need things that work fast and things that can fit into my budget. The very first time I met Mark he got rid of the useless supplements I was using – and this actually caused me to drop 2 kilos within a week! Saving me money and getting me the results I was after. I would highly recommend his training and methods!
Jen
All Natural!
I had been training since my teens. I wanted to be cut and have a good six-pack but a lot of trainers would say “You can’t fight genetics” or would give me programs which didn’t result in any significant difference in my body.
I’m now living the life as a model in Las Vegas and my happiness and confidence have grown exponentially. The information I received from him on dieting alone is priceless and made a world of difference. The best thing about my change is that its all been natural, without diuretics or even binge dieting.
…the difference from the majority of personal trainers in the information is focused on getting results rather than giving as little info as possible so that you have to book more sessions with him. Also I love that he’s dedicated to continuously improving his knowledge…

Are you finding it hard to beat bad habits due to peer pressure? Steve shares his experience-
It’s been nearly 6 months now since I signed up to Mark’s program… Not only am I stronger, bigger, leaner etc, but for me the biggest improvement has been my knowledge with both training and diet/supplementation and also dealing with social pressures….to be honest with you I’m not even the slightest bit tempted to eat any of the food at today’s BBQ, nor do I care anymore what people think of my decisions to be healthy. Sure I could stuff my face on Christmas day, but these days I decide when I’m going to eat crappy foods and on my terms!
This improvement I honestly believe is a credit to you and your program. Without your support I honestly believe I wouldn’t have broken through the plateau I reached 6 months ago before contacting you, and for that I’d really like to thank you and just let you know how much I appreciate it.
Steve
Taken from an unexpected (but always welcome) thank you email:
With what you have taught me and shown me over the short time I have known you has been inspirational. You changed the way I look at life, your attitude to negativity, how to turn a negative into a positive, you have been a inspiration to me, it has been this inspiration that makes me dig deeper for the things I want in life.
Failure is not an option. Thank you for all the motivation that you have given me

Lacking Self Confidence?
I was probably at the lowest of lows in my entire life when I went to see Mark about getting fit and training. I laughed a little when I first met him as he was more keen than I was to get myself fit, and from this I knew Mark wouldn’t lie to me and he’d actually look after me with his life changing program….he overloaded my brain with information…Instantly in the first week I lost 4 kilos and was waking up at 5am without an alarm clock which I couldn’t believe.
As for today…. I will never go back to the negative habits of bad eating and no exercise as Mark has also changed my attitude towards life permanently!
Thanks Mark! You’re the Champion of Champions!

When Results Count!
Mark not only works in the fitness industry, he lives there! Continually seeking self-development in all aspects of muscle building (aspects many people may not even consider), Mark is innovative, articulate and cutting-edge.
If it’s results you’re looking for then I can certainly vouch for that. When I began working with Mark I could bench-press 22.5-25 Kg dumbbells and I now do the same exercise with 35-37.5kg weights. I have gone from dead lifting 100kg 5 weeks ago to 140kg now. And if I could accurately and succinctly measure my stamina I would convey to you that I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I was before.
But as I alluded to before it is the mental toughness, motivation and passion for fitness which Mark has instilled in me that is his greatest achievement.

Do you have a specific goal? Do you seek a total body transformation? Registered Nurse and Body Building competitor, Aiden Guyett made his dream come true
I started training with Mark in January of 2009 and started getting results that I only had dreamed about. I’d been in and out of gyms for 7 years as your average off the street person and had numerous trainers, which saw me getting the same results time and time again. With Mark’s training and guidance I was able to fix my diet, train harder and get the results I dreamed about.
I’d always wanted to compete as a bodybuilder and with Mark as my mentor I was able to achieve this dream and get 5th in the INBA for Australia.
Regardless of what your goals are, if your serious about achieving them then Mark is the personal trainer for you as his knowledge and training will make you achieve them.

It’s always important to seek out expert advice in any field to maximize your potential. Starting off personal training, I had no idea how to train properly and run a successful business. It proved a very wise move to seek out a teacher (Mark Ottobre) who had had great success in this particular endeavour. Mark proved to be my life coach. Whenever I fell down he was there to pick me up. I have become much tougher skinned since commencing coaching with Mark. He has brought my training to new levels, so if you’re an athlete expect to experience dramatic improvements in your sporting pursuits. It’ll blow your mind. If you want to be your best, seek out the best. Mark Ottobre will open up for you a world of potential, you didn’t even know existed.

Living the Dream! Bodybuilding Superstar, x2 Mr Australia- Tristan Boyce
Before I started training and dieting properly for my bodybuilding competitions I wasn’t really sure of how to approach it, as there was so much information out there in terms of supplements, training techniques and dieting. When I decided to see Mark a few months before competition he set me straight and told me how it would be. With a proper diet, intense training program and good supplement guide, I was on my merry way to success in October.
I have just finished competing in the INBA and ANB natural bodybuilding competitions and finished in 1st place for both competitions in the junior divisions. I also won best posing routine for the INBA, and “best legs” for the junior and overall competition in the ANB show.
Training with and getting advice from Mark was the best decision I ever made. As I said he set me on the right path to success, and now the world’s my oyster.

Natural Bodybuilder and Owner of ASN Robina- Jarrod Boyce,
In just over one month of proper diet and training with Mark I was able to completely transform my body. The amount of knowledge and passion he entails is incredible. I started at 9.6% body fat and had 71.4 kilos of lean muscle. After exceptional diet and supplementary advice I got to 7.3% body fat and 73.5 kilos of lean muscle, this was while dieting and from 24/2 till 29/3.. so this happened in a month! Although the training and dieting was difficult and did require a lot of dedication, it was all worth the journey. If you are serious about training and reaching your goals I highly recommend getting in contact with Enterprise Fitness.

I have dropped 3-4 dress sizes since I first began I am also fitter, stronger and healthier than I have ever been before…Thank-you Mark for your unwavering motivation, support and teaching me to be the very best I can be as well as helping me understand that I have the ability to apply that to all areas of my life. You truly are an Inspiration!!

INBA Ms Olympia, Janet Kane
In my journey to winning the Ms Olympia title I never doubted my commitment, but I knew I needed some expert advice for the best way to train to achieve the winning physique.
With so many personal trainers out there, I wanted someone that knew how to train a champion and not just train someone to lose weight or change their shape a little. I am a very self motivated person, so I did not look for the person to offer the encouragement or the nudge to get to the gym, (although I know Mark would do that if that is what I needed), I wanted the person that could guide and coach me to achieve my goal of Ms Olympia and undoubtedly give me the ‘champions edge’.
Then I found Mark. His expert guidance gave me clarity in my training program and showed me the most effective supplements and nutrition for my goals. He pushed me beyond my limits to achieve my goals and never once did I question him. I had total confidence in his ability to train me.
This has made all the difference. With Mark’s help I reached the pinnacle in my recent Ms Olympia win and I feel on the top of the world! Thank you for everything.

I have not encountered a Trainer as inspired, passionate and knowledgeable as Mark
I have been utilising the services of different Personal Trainers over the past 10 years. During that time, I have not encountered a Trainer as inspired, passionate and knowledgeable as Mark.

Training with Mark Ottobre has certainly been fun and enjoyable
“Training with Mark Ottobre over the last 8 months has certainly been fun and enjoyable. I have exceeded my own expectations to what I thought I could achieve. Our sessions are only for an hour, but I find his training and diet advice takes me well beyond our sessions spent together. Mark has always taken the time to explain my program through to the finest detail so I know all the aspects of my training. Whenever I thought I had reached my goal, I was always able to set the bar a little bit higher and have continued to make progress every week”

After training with Mark, I’ve increased my strength by almost 50%. I’ve learnt so much more about training and my diet in the last few weeks than my whole life. Also my confidence and knowledge with equipment and the variety of exercises have skyrocketed. I wouldn’t think twice about recommending Mark to friends and family wanting to do better at the gym, I think its money well spent.

I have known Mark on a professional level as a trainer and coach for 4 months. During this time he has provided a wealth of knowledge on the subject of training clients as a professional personal trainer.

It’s more fun working with a personal trainer
I really don’t like exercising, but when I was diagnosed with Parkinson’s Disease 17 years ago and was faced with the prospect of becoming less and less mobile, I thought I’d give exercise a go. It had to be better than progressively losing control over my body.
I’ve been doing my duty in coming to the gym for years and have gone through periods when I get bored with the tedious repetitions. The ravages of Parkinson’s on my body make it easy to find excuses not to exercise because the fluctuating effectiveness of my medications often leave me tired and sore. But, not exercising leaves me much worse off.
Mark wrote a new exercise program and showed me in detail the correct technique to get the most benefit out of them. Left to my own devices, I tend to do them too quickly and superficially just to get them over with. However, when he suggested I take some personal training sessions, I balked. Visions of army boot camp with a no-necked drill sergeant screaming in my ear made me shiver–“Twenty-five more push-ups, girl!” Mark assured me it wouldn’t be like that, and looking into his large, earnest eyes, I believed him.
At the first session, Mark had already read the material I gave him on Parkinson’s Disease, rang up Parkinson’s Victoria for information and generally familiarized himself with the types of appropriate exercise. He has been working on the weakness that I have on my left side and my problems with balance and strength. He is trying to get me to focus on the particular muscles that I’m exercising. This focusing is especially important to Parkies, who can only deal with one thing at a time.
Sometimes, though, I feel like the weights he has me use are way too heavy, and wonder how he can’t expect a woman my age with Parkinson’s to lift them, let alone do another set. “HE CAN’T BE SERIOUS!!” I think to myself. At those times, an image of that army sergeant flashes across my brain, but this quickly fades when I hear Mark’s quiet encouragement to find that little bit of extra strength I didn’t know I had. When I do succeed, I find it a confidence-building experience.
And, it’s more fun working with a personal trainer than exercising on your own. I like the fact that he varies the exercises. For example, last week he had me don boxing gloves and belt away at the flat gloves he held up. What a great way to get a cardio workout and let off steam!
In general, I feel I’m benefiting from Mark’s attention to detail and genuine care about my progress.

Mark and the trainers at Enterprise Fitness would transform my life
When I first meet with Mark, I honestly believed this was going to be a breeze. After all, I trained daily sometimes twice a day from running, to boxing, dancing, group fitness classes and boot camp. And my diet was pretty solid. Needless to say my first consultation with Mark opened my eyes to just how unhealthy my current lifestyle was… My excessive exercise far outweighed my food intake which consisted of processed and sugary foods, gluten and dairy. And while I was a mere 60 kilos, my body fat said otherwise. I was what some would call “skinny fat”.
My end goal had always been to compete in the 2012 INBA All Female Classic contest. In reaching my goal, Mark had asked on a scale from one to ten, how much I wanted this? If one was poor and ten equated to getting out of bed at 3am to train if I had to (not that I ever had to get up at 3am), what would I be?
Without hesitation, it was a ten! I wanted this more than anything. I distinctly remember Mark asking me whether I was a lion or a cow… whether I hunted and ate my prey, or grazed all day. Safe to say… I was a cow and a vegetarian at that.
In the weeks and months to follow, Mark and the trainers at Enterprise Fitness would transform my life. Through hard work, sheer determination, consistency and the end goal in mind, I quickly found myself eating clean and training hard. I went from weighing myself daily to weighing myself once a week, from three small processed meals, to protein rich based meals every two hours. And my much loved cardio sessions were quickly replaced with weight training, once a day.
From Mark’s “grocery list” to his training programs and supplement intake my overall lean muscle mass increased, my body fat dropped, and my weight remained the same. Who would have guessed! But nothing is without its ups and downs. Training for a competition is physically and mentally challenging, but one thing Mark and his seminars have taught me is to Trust and Believe. Trust your trainer and Believe in yourself.
The day before the comp I found myself plagued with self doubt… had I done enough? Through the support of Mark and the Enterprise Fitness Team, his beautiful fiancé Kristine, and my family and friends, I had to remind myself whatever the outcome, I’m already a winner, that I’ve managed to turn my life in to a healthy lifestyle, and I’m about to achieve my end goal.
Placing first in the 2012 INBA All Female Classic, Novice Fitness Model division far out weighed my expectations. Twelve weeks of training and a strict diet had come down to a mere few minutes. And it was worth every minute of nerves, anxiety and excitement. Whatever the outcome I was a winner and I deserved to be on stage. It made winning that more sweeter.
They say throughout life everything happens for a reason, a season or a lifetime. Meeting Mark and Kristine, and the Enterprise Fitness Team… is definitely for a lifetime!

The Queen of Lean and her figure comp prep
I knew when I decided to take on the challenge of competing in a Figure Comp needed a good coach and I am so glad that I found it in you.
Right from the beginning you organised with my training programs, concise with your instructions and I always felt like I knew exactly what I needed to do for that particular phase.
Aside from achieving amazing results I would have to say the best part of training with you is I never felt like I was just an object that needed to drop body fat, you respected that I was a person that has emotional feelings and you supported and coached me both for my physical transformation but helped me to work through an emotional hurdles and kept my focus strong.
I know others that were preparing for a Figure Comp at the same time as me who were left drained, depressed and not making it to where they wanted to be. It was interesting to be side by side these people and knowing that I found the experience enjoyable, rewarding and most of all felt that this approach to training was healthy effective and getting me stronger with every week that went by.
Thank you also for the mini lectures in Biosignatureand I loved that our training sessions sometimes would turn into a mini seminar on adrenal fatigue or PCOS and that you are so willing to share the wealth of information that you have learn over the years.
Aside from all of this I thank you for believing in my ability I think that is the main thing that made me a champion.

Body fat went from 16.7& to 10.5% and I put on muscle and strength!
I trained with Enterprise Fitness for about 6 months and I got some pretty impressive results. My body fat dropped from 16.7% to 10.5% and I also built muscle and strength at the same time.
It was very intense but that’s what I needed and if you want someone to push you hard to get results I recommended training with Enterprise Fitness.
Massive thanks to both Mark and Erros.
A part of the team!
My Journey with Mark began 5 years ago. We first crossed paths at a bodybuilding seminar I attended where Mark did a presentation on training and nutrition. A bit younger but equally ambitious and energetic, Mark’s knowledge really impressed me. So much so that I told him I wanted to commence personal training with him as soon as possible in preparation for my first bodybuilding comp.
Although having trained for a couple of years it was not until I met Mark that I really knew what was required to attain a great physique. In order to get me in the best possible shape for my comp Mark gave me a complete diet over hall and monthly training programs. Over the weeks I was amazed at how much my body had changed, getting leaner and bigger at the same time. I learnt so much from mark about training and diet during this period, how to perform exercises correctly and how to prepare and cook my food.
Amazingly this was not the only thing Mark serviced with me as a trainer. Always willing to have a chat and answer any questions, Mark would often call me to see how I was going with the training and feeling. This continued all the way to comp day where Mark was backstage tanning me up and giving me encouragement prior to stepping out on stage.
For 2 years in a row Mark helped me in finishing 3rd as a junior in the Victorian titles, as well as competing at the national and international level at the natural Olympia. Following my second year of training I decided to take a break and just enjoy my own training without the pressure of competition.
During my time with mark as a trainer we formed a very close friendship to the point where we became training partners in the gym and mates outside of it. I am very grateful to say that today I am working with Mark as one of the head trainers at Enterprise fitness. Having instilled in me much of his knowledge, I feel it my duty to pass it on to other enthusiastic individuals like I was when Mark and I first met.

How I got back in shape… After the comp!
I came to get help from Mark after a very turmoil year that saw my eating and binging spiral out of control after competing. I was at wits end not knowing how I was going to get my body back into gear when I got the tip that Maximus Mark was the person to see. So I made the call and went and saw Mark..
From the moment Mark opened his mouth everything made sense. I was not going to be put on another stupid starvation diet. I was not going to be put on a ridiculous training plan… This was about improving everything from the inside out so that I would never have to diet another day in my life in order to stay lean nor would I have to do endless amounts of cardio to stay lean.. This was about a lifestyle.
It is hard to describe how grateful I am for what Mark has taught me, I have never in my life felt better, full of natural energy – yep that’s right, I don’t touch ANY fat burners or energy drinks or caffeine, its a daily natural high I sit on. I don’t get bloated anymore, I feel amazing, and I am not spending my whole week training! I do only what I need to which is very minimal in order to stay at a lean and healthy weight.
My mindset towards eating, training and supplementation has completely taken a 360 degree flip. I absolutely recommend if you are feeling trapped and controlled by food, or training or you have obsessive behaviour about it; that you speak to Mark about what you can do. I promise you wont ever regret it!

Gym owners and figure competitors found the results they were looking for after 25 years of trying (online training with Enterprise Fitness)
My husband Mick & I have always been addicted to fitness and weight training and have been doing a variety of programs for over 25 years. Then we found Maximus Mark who provided a full program that had all the necessary ingredients to prepare ourselves for our first Body Building Competition. Programs provided sound nutrition advice ensuring that our bodies were well nourished and fuelled up for some gruelling training sessions. The training programs that Mark has provided both of us with, has transformed our bodies beyond our expectations and we are continuing to get stronger and leaner each week. We have also made some changes in the way that we train our clients all thanks to Enterprise Fitness and Mark’s training programs.

I cant recommend them highly enough! (online training with Enterprise Fitness)
I did my first figure competition in May of this year and was pretty amazed at how unhealthy my prep felt. I really thought there must be a way of achieving the look you need for competition without sacrificing my health and risking metabolic damage and so on, so decided to look for another way.
As a long time subscriber to Mark’s podcasts and info I knew that he was a great source of information on training and nutrition, so decided to investigate his online training program.
I would love to train with Mark in person, but as I live in Sydney the only possibility was to work with him online – and I’m so glad I did.
Mark provides you with everything you need for your specific training and nutrition goals – we had a specific time limit too – I started with Mark 10 weeks out from my competition and he guided me to be completely ready for Comp Day. He answered every question I had about my training or nutrition (and there were lots!), and always got back to me really, really quickly, and to that end I just placed 2nd in the IFBB State Championships Master’s Figure.
I learnt so much about proper nutrition, hormonal balance and the importance of other factors like sleep and supplements and how well I trained, allowing me to get the results I wanted. I also went through Comp prep full of energy with a smile on my face, which was completely different to the previous time where lack of food made me listless and miserable!
I can’t recommend Mark highly enough – I am continuing my training with Mark through my off season and into comp prep for next year where I intend to reach a whole new level – And I can’t wait!
I feel AMAZING!!
Before I met Mark and Kristine I was a vegetarian and my diet consisted of mostly soy-based goods. I was tired a lot of the time, I felt weak and was 5 kg heavier with less muscle mass.
I’m always looking for ways to maintain optimum health and weight so Marks’ work interested me. I was surprised to hear from Mark that soy isn’t all I thought it to be. I slowly started eliminating soy and incorporating animal proteins into my diet.
I lost weight in what felt like overnight and became stronger and felt energized.
I used to take the mainstream vitamins that you can purchase from the supermarket or pharmacy. When speaking to Kristine about some difficulty I was having sleeping and the associated mood swings as well as digestive/elimination problems she suggested I ask Mark for his recommendation on supplements I could take.
Its been less than a fortnight since I started taking the selection he suggested and I’m sleeping soundly with no difficulty settling, my bowel habits are regular, my mood is better, my mind clearer and quality of life improved.
I look forward to continuing learning and benefiting from Mark and Kristine’s experience and expertise.

Training is apart of my life- it no longer consumes or takes over (email from Carley)
I got an email from a very dear friend/client Carley Smith. Carley came to see me way back in 2010 as she needed help with her fitness model contest prep. When I first met Carley, to be honest, I wasn’t sure if she was going to listen to what I was saying. I mean, I tell girls to eat more, stop doing cardio and for godsake, cook with butter. I am a rebellious madman to many mainstream bodybuilding, nutrition and fitness gurus.
But she did listen and she not only competed but also did extremely well and placed second at her first comp. But this was not the ‘real’ success of my personal coaching and training.
The real success was helping and assisting Carley to shift her mindset.
Late last night I was looking over client’s results using Poliquins Strength Pro/Bio Software when I came across Carleys records. Her first consult was on the 23/2/2010 and her body weight was at 54 kilos BUT her body fat was at 15.3% with a lean muscle mass of only 45.7kilos.
The last time I measured Carley was on the 8/11/2011 at a body weight of 58.3 kilos, a body fat of 14.2% and a lean muscle mass of an amazing 50 kilos. In two years she put on 5 kilos of lean muscle while actually managing to get leaner and stronger in the process. I thought this is great! I was so excited that I emailed her just to tell her. I asked her if I could use her example of health (both in mind and body) at my upcoming seminar. Not only did she say I could, she wrote to me a very fitting email which I just had to share (with permission of course)…
“I came to train with you about 3 months before I competed in my first sport modelling/fitness competition. I looked relatively fit but you wouldn’t pick me to be a stand out from the crowd. I had a standard program that I was following given to me by a trainer I had previously seen, I remember you called it a “cookie cutter” program as it wasn’t customised to me or my body shape. One thing I did have was motivation and determination to achieve results so I was extremely excited to see you as I had heard great things that you were “the guy” to see when it came to training and prepping for a comp. My diet prior to seeing you was VERY limited, it consisted of…to be completely honest…not a lot! I relied on shakes as my morning and afternoon meal, I didn’t have any fats and only had a very small amount of carbs sometimes in the morning. I did an hour of cardio each day then another 40 min weight session each night. I was tired and exhausted, I felt like I was time deprived, spending nearly two hours in the gym per day and focusing a lot of attention on cardio sessions in order to lower my body fat. I also had a strong focus on… and I cringe when I say this …“weight on the scales.” I thought this what just what you had to do to get in shape for a competition, what would I know, I was new at this prepping for comp thing and this was what I was told!
I remember my first session with you when you challenged me on the approach I was taking to my diet and training. I will never forget you saying to me, “Where is the food” and “Where are you getting the energy to train?” You told me to cut back my morning cardio, “What!?” I was told to walk EVERY morning, no excuses! It was from this point that I started to question everything I had previously been doing and been told and started to learn….Over time you developed in me a love for strength training and a dislike for cardio. My training become focused on achieving results, I started lifting heavier weights in the gym and I no longer thought about getting my weight on the scales down. I stopped weighing myself at all. I looked at food as fuel for my training sessions and cardio as energy wasted. I got frustrated when you bio sig’d me and muscle mass didn’t increase and didn’t care so much about my body fat percentage. The results were all round positive, I developed 5kgs of muscle mass whilst my body fat went down. The best thing out of all of this was that I felt fantastic! I had high energy levels and loved training! I spent an hour maximum in the gym 4 times per week. My sessions became results focused and each week I was getting stronger and stronger.
I continue to train and eat the way you have educated me day in and day out. There is no “comp” in mind at the moment or “date” to achieve an ideal body by, I don’t care about this stuff anymore, I eat and train for myself- my health and my well-being (and of course my love for it). I am happy with myself and my body- this is the most comforting thing at 23 years of age. I don’t beat myself up over things I want to change or things I don’t like about myself anymore. I have a healthy relationship with food, I love cooking and enjoying a variety of foods whilst still eating healthy and I definitely don’t feel the need to “binge” like a lot of girls do. I am continually setting myself goals in all areas of my life- not just training. Training is only a part of life- it no longer consumes or takes over!
From Carley Smith
They take Personal Training to a level that most will never consider
I started training with Mark in 2011 after getting to a point where I was tired of looking after my own training and nutrition as well as everyone else’s! As a personal trainer and health coach myself for over 13 years I know all the ‘facts’, but that doesn’t mean I can always be objective or motivated.
As I’ve had several stages of feeling that way, Mark is actually about the 6th or 7th trainer I’ve worked with to achieve my personal goals, I go through phases where I’m happy alone and others where I know I need support.
I chose to work with Mark because I knew him from various courses and had noticed that he was very observant, asked smart questions in class, and seemed to care about his clients wellbeing beyond just the physical results. Furthermore, in various positions I’ve held in the fitness industry I’ve mentored hundreds of different trainers, and so I like to think I have an eye for who is a cut above the rest!
What I found is that Mark takes personal training to a level that most trainers possibly don’t even consider. His approach is very holistic, in that he took the time to regularly check in on how I was going with nutrition, lifestyle, stress management, even business management. All of the things which do play a part in whether or not you might stay on track or slip off path a little.
Two things that especially stood out to me in working with Mark were how accommodating he was of me bringing my toddler to training sessions (she loves it!) and also one occasion when he sent me an email that was very relevant to where I was emotionally with dealing with old food and body image issues. I don’t think there are many guys out there that either get where women come from when it comes to body image, or want to!
Mark’s workouts are challenging, fun and varied, and his training is result based. I was able to check a few pretty cool strength goals off my list. To be honest my jaded view of the fitness industry is that most trainers see it as a means to some undefined end and are watching the clock, but to Mark helping people IS clearly the end game and the way he presents as a PT shows that.

Nothing we did seem to work until I met Enterprise Fitness
As a Personal Trainer I had attended a number of courses on mainstream nutrition. I always walked out with unanswered questions and could never manage to shed my last 5kg myself, let along teach my clients to do the same. It was extremely frustrating. On top of that I was dealing with a husband and 2 children that were constantly getting sick, and I had no idea why! Nothing we did seemed to work.
I met Mark at the Australian Institute of Fitness; he was one of my coaches there. I instantly warmed to him; my gut instinct told me this was someone I needed to stay in contact with. And I was right. 18 months later, Mark was conducting the “Eat Your Way to Abs” seminar. Attending that was a no brainer. I had already attended a number of nutrition courses and had no results. Having looked at the people that consulted with Mark, I knew that I needed to be at this seminar. Not only did I attend, but took 5 people with me the next time he conducted this seminar.
At this seminar I had all my questions answered. I had a light bulb moment and everything made sense to me, regarding nutrition. Within 4 weeks of attending the “Eat Your Way to Abs” seminar the first time, I dropped 6kg! AND improved my lean muscle. On top of that I learned why my family was constantly sick; we were all intolerant to Gluten. I took us all off Gluten (yes including the kids!) and nobody has had 1 dose of antibiotics since then! It’s been 4 months. To give you an indication, my children took turns on antibiotics, 1 week each, and my husband had Tonsilitis fortnightly! So to be free of illness for 4 months is massive in our home.
I have implemented everything I have learned, and continue to learn, from Mark, with my clients too. They too are seeing some amazing results! My business has skyrocketed with all the success stories we are seeing. We always had results, we just have them faster now!
I highly recommend consulting with Mark and Kristine. You will not be disappointed! They are a wealth of knowledge and make it so easy to learn from them. They make you feel welcome and always take the time to answer any questions and provide you with the information to help you move forward. Not consulting with this couple, is doing yourself and your business (if you are a PT) an injustice.
This use to be a challenge for me as a business owner
Since listening to Mark’s advice, about supplementation truth and nutrition…I have built muscle like never before…I have also dropped to my ideal weight and stayed there even when I didn’t train for a week on holidays…and I can lift so much more…eating and supplementation used to be a challenge for me… because I would read so much conflicting information… now it’s a mystery no more. Thank you Mark for your dedication to providing the real information for people.
Just wanted to say thanks!
Just wanted to say thank you again for pointing me in the right direction with nutrition, I have attached a picture to show you the effectiveness your Eat Your Way To Abs seminar has had on me.
Warm regards,
Reece Adams
The best thing is the accountability to my goals
Before I met Mark I was all over the place with my fitness, skipping workouts and very unfit.
When he first did my body fat, I was 30% and very unsatisfied with the state of my health.
Since training with Mark I have lost 8% body fat and have put on 3 lean kilos of muscle.
For me, the best thing about training with Mark is that he holds me accountable to my goals.

I was probably at the lowest of lows in my entire life when I went to see Mark about getting fit and training
I was probably at the lowest of lows in my entire life when I went to see Mark about getting fit and training. I laughed a little when I first met him as he was more keen than I was too get myself fit, and from this I knew Mark wouldn’t lie to me and he’d actually look after me with his life changing program.
I was actually surprised about what Mark said to me the first time we spoke, he overloaded my brain with information such as what to eat, how often to eat, when it’s best to train, how to space out exercises, etc. Instantly in the first week I lost 4 kilos and was waking up at 5am without an alarm clock which I couldn’t believe.
Their were times were I had enough or nothing left but Mark was there to keep me going which nobody else has ever done for me. As for today, from what Mark has taught me, I will never go back to the negative habits of bad eating and no exercise as Mark has also changed my attitude towards life permanently!
Thanks Mark! You’re the Champion of Champions!

Why employ a trainer that live in an entirely different state? (Belinda Walker online training with Enterprise Fitness)
Why Mark you might ask, why employ a trainer who lives in an entirely different state?
Well, I’m a firm believer if you want to be the best that you can be then surround yourself with the best, this also applies to life partners, friends and colleagues. Being in another state is purely logistical and where there is a will there is a way!
I was looking for a coach who would give me a no nonsense approach, I wasn’t looking for a friend – I wanted to learn as much as I could and fast. I was looking for not just training advice but supplementation and diet – I wanted to put on muscle and fast, I had only been weight training for 12 months and was looking at competing again 6 months after my first season of competing.
I discovered my love for this sport and competing quite by accident, my initial stage debut was not a planned one and to experience success in this sport took me by surprise, firmly cementing my desire to continue to grow and learn and to return to the stage bigger and better each time.
Enter “Maximus Mark” – Coach to my inspirational Mentor Janet Kane – Simply she is currently Australia’s best female natural figure competitor – with Mark’s guidance and her champion attitude they are unbeatable – so the BEST in the biz!
I initially contacted Mark via facebook (Hmmm, what did we do before facebook!) and booked a brain-picking session with him via Skype. The initial consultation was bang on, I got instant answers to health related problems and within an hour I was well on my way to eating and sleeping more and training less!
I want the most bang for my buck being a busy mother of three, the eldest thirteen and the youngest one – this relates to both time and finances. Mark has taught me how to do this by supplementing correctly and training smarter.
I love competing however I don’t want to be defined by the person you see on the stage. Mark has educated me to look at my goals differently with great perspective – health and wellness being the most important. I no longer know nor care how much I weigh, infact when competing last in June at the ANB Asia Pacific and the INBA All Female Classic, I did not weigh myself once other than when Mark did my biosignature on the few occasions I flew to Melbourne to see him – Mark has shown me that weight is no longer of importance to me , he has helped me realise that I am strong, fit and healthy – I am a healthy person that makes healthy choices and inspires others to do the same.
I continue to grow and learn from Mark and can’t wait to see where the future takes us – TEAM ENTERPRISE!

Look what I did in less than a month…
In just over one month of proper diet and training with Mark I was able to completely transform my body. The amount of knowledge and passion he entails is incredible. I started at 9.6% body fat and had 71.4 kilos of lean muscle. After exceptional diet and supplementary advice I got to 7.3% body fat and 73.5 kilos of lean muscle, this was while dieting and from 24/2 till 29/3. So this happened in a month! Although the training and dieting was difficult and did require a lot of dedication, it was all worth the journey. If you are serious about training and reaching your goals I highly recommend getting in contact with Mark.
They will open up a world of potential that you didn’t even know existed
It’s always important to seek out expert advice in any field to maximize your potential. You’ll find that those who have achieved the greatest success are the ones who have sought out a mentor. Starting off personal training, I had no idea how to train probably and run a successful business. It proved a very wise move to seek out a teacher (Mark Ottobre) who had had great success in this particular endeavour. He taught me all I needed to know about business, but his teachings extended far beyond that. Mark proved to be my life coach. Whenever I fell down he was there to pick me up. I have become much tougher skinned since commencing coaching with Mark. He has brought my training to new levels, so if you’re an athlete expect to experience dramatic improvements in your sporting pursuits. It’ll blow your mind. If you want to be your best, seek out the best. Enterprise Fitness will open up for you a world of potential, you didn’t even know existed.

Evan, before and after a 2 week bootcamp!
You taught me a “LIFESTYLE!”
From my records, it looks like my 6 month program is up. I wanted to thank you for the great work you have done in putting together a wonderful program. From the eating to the workout programs you got me on the right tract to live a healthy life. Following your instruction, I have more energy & confidence then ever before. Not that my goal was to receive complements when I take my shirt off, but since I started your program back in Feb or so, this summer has been different then any before. I still have a long way to go, but just over the past 6 months it has been a great start.
I still need to continue my education by studying the pdf’s that you sent me, continue to eat the correct foods, and stay consistent with my workouts. But going through your program, the things I just mentioned have become an “Habit”, so now its just a lifestyle not work!!! And above all that’s what I wanted out of the program a “LIFESTYLE“.
Thanks again & keep me on your email list for future updates on you & your website… Take care!
Personal Trainer finally gets results
I met Mark when I studied at the AIF (he was one of my teachers) and I knew there was something different about him. He abstained from the general fitness approach that you see everywhere. I began learning from Mark in June 2010; since then my training principles and nutrition have excelled. I weighed 69kg back then, now I weigh just under 80kg. I can also lift a hell of a lot more with correct technique. Mark has taught me skills I will remember for life and can include everyday to enhance my wellbeing. I would recommend Mark to anyone looking to learn more about their physical capabilities or how to train/eat properly for significant gains. Thanks again Mark you are a light in the midst of darkness that is the fitness industry.
Personal Trainer and bored gym goer
The first time I met Mark was during my Personal Training course at AIF, he was a lecturer there. Mark was down to earth in his approach and gave me a sense of confidence that he really knew what he was talking about and was extremely knowledgeable. I knew that he was a trainer who practiced what he preached. He showed me that he was serious about training.
So I decide I would contact Mark for one-on-one training. He has helped me in many ways. From dietary advice and guidance, to challenging, enjoyable training. I had been training for years and was getting bored with the usual gym machine workouts. He gave me the variety that I was looking for and I look forward training with him every week. I really like doing the “Strong Man” exercises as it gives me a sense of challenge and accomplishment. I like that even though I’m a girly girl I can still do it.
It took me a while to actually follow all of his advice. I have to admit to not following the dietary advice AND funnily enough, when I did that along with my training my results were awesome!! I feel great and know now that I look great too.
I would like to thank Mark for helping me in the last year. I have loved my training and have a lot of respect for him. He has shown me how to look after myself properly and for that I am more than thankful! I am a healthy, strong and confident thanks to him.
It becomes more than just losing weight
I wanted to lose weight and get fit but as time went on the reasons changed; it wasn’t just about losing weight but changing my body shape, my life and my attitude towards higher goals and achieving them.
I have dropped 3-4 dress sizes since I first began I am also fitter, stronger and healthier than I have ever been before…Thank-you Mark for your unwavering motivation, support and teaching me to be the very best I can be as well as helping me understand that I have the ability to apply that to all areas of my life. You truly are an Inspiration!!
Wealth of Knowledge
I have known Mark on a professional level as a trainer and coach for 4 months. During this time he has provided a wealth of knowledge on the subject of training clients as a professional personal trainer.
Mark’s extensive knowledge in the areas of health, nutrition and training and his passion for what he teaches on a day to day basis is a demonstration of the commitment he has given to what he believes in.
Jasmines transformation from just reading our articles!
Thank you so much for pretty much changing my life! After years of restrictive eating and stupid diets that always left me feeling tired, lethargic, unhappy and struggling to train at my best. I have finally found what I now call the “way of life” approach to eating and training with the help of your program I have never had more energy and strive in the gym, my skin, hair nails have never grown so much and looked so healthy, my stomach has never been so flat and my body has seemed to form into its perfect shape….you saved a girl like me from living the rest of her life on stupid diets making us miserable counting calories and being afraid to have “meat” or “fats” on our plates! I am now stronger, leaner and the happiest I’ve ever been.

Training has certainly been fun and enjoyable!
Training with Mark Ottobre over the last 8 months has certainly been fun and enjoyable. I have exceeded my own expectations to what I thought I could achieve. Our sessions are only for an hour, but I find his training and diet advice takes me well beyond our sessions spent together. Mark has always taken the time to explain my program through to the finest detail so I know all the aspects of my training. Whenever I thought I had reached my goal, I was always able to set the bar a little bit higher and have continued to make progress every week.
My deadlift has gone from 120kilos to 200kilos
When I started training with Mark my body fat was 25%. I was a little surprised it was that high as I had been training 3 days a week.
I decided to start training to lose weight. I got down to 17% in a few short months. I found the biggest difference was the attention to detail in both nutrition and training. Mark taught me a lifestyle to implement and not a ‘diet’.
As my work is very demanding of my time, this has been something I have struggled with and now have a routine I can stick to.
Additionally, my deadlift has gone from 120kilos to 200 kilos. Something I attribute to Marks detailed knowledge in program design.
I would highly recommend personal training with Mark and the team at Enterprise Fitness

Steve on his online training with Enterprise Fitness
Its been nearly 6 months now since I signed up to Enterprise Fitness Online mentoring program and I just thought I’d let you know how much I have improved since then…
Not only am I stronger, bigger, leaner etc, but for me the biggest improvement has been my knowledge with both training and diet/supplementation and also dealing with social pressures.
For example, I remember this time last year, before I enrolled in Enterprise Fitness online training course- attending Christmas lunch with all the family, all I could think about was digging into all the traditional Greek food- having an hour or so break and then ripping into all the deserts later. But I overcame the social pressure and I just ate a plate of chicken and salad, together with my almonds and vitamins. All my cousins were laughing at me, saying “as if your not going to eat what u want on Christmas day, come on just have some it wont kill you.” Anyway that whole day all I could think about was the food on the table, how much I’d love a piece of this or a slice of that etc…..
Now 12 months later, after 6 months on your mentoring program, it’s not even an issue; nor do I care anymore what people think of my decisions to be healthy. Sure I could stuff my face on Christmas day, but these days I decide when I’m going to eat crappy foods and on my terms! To be clear, the biggest change is that I don’t feel the guilty like I use to, sure I eat bad food, but it’s when I want to.
Another example is just last night, I went out clubbing with friends, I hadn’t had a drink in about 5 weeks so I thought why not I’d have a few drinks with some mates. So I ordered a grey goose with mineral water and fresh lime (my favourite drink). To be honest with you it wasn’t going down that well. Nevertheless I finished my first drink before being shouted another. Now at this stage I was half way through my second drink and it still wasn’t going down well. Then I started thinking to myself, what the hell am I doing? I’m not even enjoying this drink, why am I even drinking? I’m only going to feel like crap the next day. So I said stuff it, I put the drink down and went and grabbed a bottle of water from the bar!
This improvement I honestly believe is a credit to the Enterprise Fitness mentoring program. Without your support I honestly believe I wouldn’t have broken through the plateau I reached 6 months ago before contacting you, and for that I’d really like to thank you and just let you know how much I appreciate it.
Regards,
Steve
I train so much more consistently when my programs are coming from someone I can trust!
Before starting with Marks online training I could only do 3 body weight chin ups. In 4 months I was able to do 8 full chin ups and 1 chin up with 12.5 kilos attached to my waist when I never have used extra weights before. I train so much more consistently when my programs are coming from someone I can trust!
As a BioSignature Practitioner in Finland there are not a whole lot of other practitioners to get ideas and feedback from. I found Marks suggestions in regards to supplements both interesting and very effective.
Mark’s insight of “why” will make you sit up and take notice
Mark’s Eat Your Way To Ab’s seminar was the most relevant nutrition information I have ever received. It provides useful & applicable detail to all who attend, regardless of background or training experience.
Whether you are stuck in the 80’s food pyramid or a hard-core Paleo fan, Mark’s insight into the “why’s” of his information is what makes you sit up & take notice.
Backed by real world experience, I would challenge anyone to follow Mark’s advice & NOT see results.
As a trainer, type 1 diabetic & absolute nutrition enthusiast – I would highly recommend Mark’s Eat Your Way to Abs for all.”
Its the mental toughness, motivation and passion for fitness
Mark not only works in the fitness industry, he lives there! Continually seeking self-development in all aspects of muscle building (aspects many people may not even consider), Mark is innovative, articulate and cutting-edge.
If it’s results you’re looking for then I can certainly vouch for that. When I began working with Mark I could bench-press 22.5 Kg dumbbells and I now do the same exercise with 37.5kg weights. I have gone from dead lifting 100kg 5 weeks ago to 140kg now. And if I could accurately and succinctly measure my stamina I would convey to you that I am leaps and bounds ahead of where I was before.
But as I alluded to before it is the mental toughness, motivation and passion for fitness which Mark has instilled in me that is his greatest achievement.

12 months on- Still in shape!
Just wanted to update you, 12 months on, after a few ups and downs, I am finally maintain my health and fitness to a level I am VERY VERY happy with. I am not at my goal but it no longer seems unattainable and beyond me but easily within my grasp with dedication and hard work over the next few months. I owe you a lot for your continued education, generosity and inspiration that has transformed my mentality, beliefs and understandings of health. Thanks Mark!
Yours sincerely Don Bemrose – Indigenous Opera Singer”
Thank you for all the motivation
Taken from an unexpected (but always welcome) thank you email:
With what you have taught me and shown me over the short time I have known you has been inspirational. You changed the way I look at life, your attitude to negativity, how to turn a negative into a positive, you have been a inspiration to me, it has been this inspiration that makes me dig deeper for the things I want in life.
Failure is not an option. Thank you for all the motivation that you have given me.
Dropped 4 kilos in 4 weeks with ease
Taken from an email:
Hey Mark. Just weighed in this morning and dropped 1.7kg in the last week and its 3.9kg in total since starting your program which really is only about 4 weeks since changing my diet, so very pleased with myself!
My starting weight was 87.1 kg when I started your program and this morning weighed in at 83.2 kg, I can’t believe it’s only been 4 weeks!
A big thanks to you!
You know your stuff and I have really benefited from your help. I now understand a hell of a lot more… How to eat; stay lean, get stronger and put on muscle at the same time. I have set a goal to compete in June next year on the Gold Coast for the Asia Pacific Championships. I know I can come in leaner and more muscular on the day without a ridiculous ‘bulking up’ (fattening up) phase in between!
You have been a great coach, a great help to me and now I am more confident than ever.
