Introduction: Hello my name is Mark Goldfarb. I have been practicing and teaching yoga for more than 30 years. I became a personal trainer in 1999. I have found that combining the two disciplines makes for excellent results. My schedule is pretty full now but I do have room for one maybe two more students. I consider myself to be one of the best trainers around but more importantly so do my students. I am certified and insured by the American Council on Exercise. One lesson is 75 minutes and the cost is $75. Sincerely, Mark Goldfarb

Mark Goldfarb has been my trainer since 1999 and Ive probably been with him the longest of his clients. He is professional in our relationship but also a very caring person. He has researched ways to help train me when I have had an injury or surgery. He has much patience and a way of pushing me when Im not motivated. He is responsive when I have told him that I am unusually sore after a session, adjusting the weights accordingly, and usually spending more time on that muscle. I have sworn that I will never be able to do a certain thing he wants me to do and slowly but surely, I will get there. I like the fact that he uses lots of different approaches to training the same muscle group. It is not only a good way of doing it, but it keeps the workouts from getting boring. Besides the weight machines , he uses bands, bosu balls, straps, discs and a variety of other resources to train. Not only is he interested in building my strength, but increasing my flexibility and balance. In addition, he is a certified yoga instructor and includes many yoga positions in my workouts. This has definitely increased my flexibility. In short, I would highly recommend him as a personal trainer.

Mark was highly recommended to me by a client. I was trying to get back into my pre-pregnancy shape after having my third child, but was not motivated to work out during the winter months. I had returned to work and was busy with my law practice and taking care of my family. Mark worked with me to find a slot of "free" time in my schedule for our weekly session. He assessed my overall fitness during our first session and tailored each workout to challenge my body. By the time winter was over, Mark helped me to achieve my goal of getting back into my pre-pregnancy size. Both my husband and I were very pleased with the results. Mark is very pleasant to work with and it's clear that he knows what he is doing. If you need to get into shape or back into shape, Mark is the fitness trainer to call.

I have been working with Mark for nearly two years after having been diagnosed with a Parkinsonism five years ago. Mark has greatly increased my strength, mobility and alertness as a result of his gentle caring and tailored advice for my condition. Mark is very dependable and extremely patient and kind.

FAQs

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
My fees range from $70 to $85 per session. Discounts for 50 sessions. Minimum purchase is for 10 sessions.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
Set up a first training session and evaluate client by asking her to do various excercises and stretches. But before this activity we talk and I learn about their experiences, any trouble areas they might have, what meds they are taking, what they would like to accomplish and any other pertinent information that could affect their workouts.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
In order to stay certified by The American Council on Exercise I am required to take enough courses to meet their requirements. In addition, to continuing education courses, CECs, I read ACE's fitness journal and magazine and many other online sources of information. Also I like reading fitness books about Yoga, how olympians train, and other trainer's and general public experiences with trying to get fit. Plus I am an ex-athlete who trained with other athletes and trainers.
