Lead Trainer / Strength & Conditioning Specialist at BoulderCentre for Orthopedics Physical Therapy
Marc has over 20 years experience training: in a sports medicine/rehab setting, as a group exercise instructor, and as an independent personal trainer. In that time, he has worked with a diverse clientele with a wide variety of physical abilities, and has gained extensive knowledge of orthopedic injuries and their treatments. Along the way, he has developed an intuition for helping clients dial in complex exercises and accessing pesky muscles notorious for insubordination, earning him the nickname ‘The Glute Whisperer’. Additional experience includes weight training (Olympic lifting, power lifting, and otherwise), group exercise training, TRX, HIIT, and he has been running ski conditioning exercise groups for most of his career. My approach to training is founded on the ideas that workouts should be functional, straightforward, and efficient - think less ‘Instagram exercises’ involving various contraptions and weird equipment, and more functional, repeatable, and economical exercises that replicate your sport or activities; that they should be comprehensive - looking at the body as a whole, rather than focusing on specific parts or movements; that they should be educational - teaching the client to use his or her body correctly and efficiently in both sport and everyday activities; and lastly, that they should build confidence as well as strength, and that making a workout fun is as important as all else. Education: BS Kinesiology with Emphasis in Exercise Testing, Analysis, and Prescription Certifications: Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist (CSCS) Level 1 USA Weightlifting Coach (USAW-L1) Certification in Applied Functional Science (CAFS) Level 1 and 2 Certifications in Functional Movement Systems (FMS)

CEO and Founder at Rock Solid Fitness
For over 3 decades, my life’s work has centered around one powerful idea: when people become physically strong, every other dimension of their lives improves. Their confidence grows. Their energy multiplies. Their mood stabilizes. Their work performance rises. Their stress tolerance expands. Their presence as leaders deepens. Their capacity to enjoy life increases. Strength transforms people—and I have dedicated my career to teaching busy, high-performing professionals how to build that kind of strength in the safest, most efficient, most scientifically grounded way possible. At Rock Solid Fitness, we do this through our proprietary High Intensity Safe Strength Training methodology. As the Owner and CEO of Rock Solid Fitness, a boutique elite personal training studio serving the Tampa Bay area, I lead a team that helps executives, attorneys, physicians, business owners, and leaders elevate their health and performance through 25-minute, high-intensity, data-driven strength sessions. Our approach is personal, intentional, and effective—rooted in exercise science, accountability, and a philosophy of excellence we bring to every client. But while the studio is where individual transformations occur, my mission extends beyond its walls. I believe that strong people create strong companies, organizations, families, and lives and thrive when their leaders and teams have the physical and mental capacity to perform at their peak. That belief drives my work as a corporate wellness speaker, educator, and advocate for SelfHealth and strength in the workplace. Through keynote talks, workshops, and executive wellness sessions, I teach busy professionals how to: Build a stronger, healthier body in less time Prevent burnout with science-backed methods Increase energy, focus, and productivity Develop resilience in both body and mind Create a culture of well-being Make strength simple and sustainable My presentations are engaging, energetic, and rooted in decades of coaching real people juggling careers and full lives. I understand that time is the most valuable asset for high achievers, and I’ve built a model that honors that truth. If your company values the connection between health, performance, and culture, I’d love to connect. Whether you’re looking for a dynamic speaker, a wellness resource for your team, or a strategic partner in bringing more strength and joy to your workplace, I’m here to help. Stronger people create stronger companies. Let’s build both—together.

Founder at Siwicki Fitness
I'm the founder and head coach of Siwicki Fitness, an online fitness platform delivering live virtual workout classes to women across the United States.

Siwicki Fitness was built around a simple idea. Women don't need another perfect program. They need one that fits around the life they already have. What sets us apart is the live virtual format.

I also run The Bridal Bootcamp, a wedding fitness program helping brides prepare for their big day with confidence and strength rather than crash dieting. Personal note: I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes at age 5 and have managed my health through fitness ever since, including playing football at Dartmouth College. I'm available to comment on managing chronic conditions through exercise, virtual fitness, women's fitness across life stages, wedding fitness prep, and the realities of online coaching versus in-person training.
