Steph chats with Mark, her friend and mentor, about his pandemic journey as a human and owner of Mark Fisher Fitness in NYC. They both share thoughts on the effects of meaningful coaching and Steph recalls the moment Mark asked her to join the MFF coaching team.

Mark is the co-founder of Mark Fisher Fitness, one of the most unusual gyms in the fitness industry. MFF operates a physical location in midtown Manhattan and a fast-growing online “virtual” location. MFF was recognized as #312 on the 2015 Inc. 500 fastest growing companies in America, as well as one of Men's Health's "Top 20 Gyms in America."

With a reputation as the fitness home of choice for the Broadway community, Mark and MFF have been featured in Forbes, the NY Times, the NY Post, the Huffington Post, and the Wall St. Journal, among others. MFF has made waves in the fitness industry for its unprecedented success and unique approach to culture. Living their mantra of “ridiculous humans, serious fitness,” MFF provides progressive fitness protocols in a delivery system of subversive humor, fantastical imagery, and outrageous antics. They also inexplicably talk about unicorns, call their clients Ninjas, and treat fun, community, and personal growth as core values.

Like most successful gym owner-consultants, Mark holds a Bachelor of Fine Arts in Musical Theatre from Syracuse University.
