“Mark’s a great trainer and coach. I have worked with him on and off for many years and recommended many friends to him. I think what sets him apart is that he goes beyond just the ordinary training you expect. I especially owe him a debt of gratitude for helping me confront some chronic issues and getting the right treatment and training program to fix them. He’s motivated, tenacious and won’t let you give up.”

Inspired me to work out

“Mark has held me accountable each week and inspired me to work out even on days when I am not motivated. While taking a hiatus from competing in triathlons due to health reasons, Mark helped me develop a safe plan to get me back into the sport feeling confident.”

“I have worked with 6 different trainers over the past 10 years and Mark Rago is the best. He is focused exclusively on his trainees, tuned into their goals and does not give up”

“Marks expertise and inspiring personality not only took my training to the next level but also made an, admittedly, intimidating process seem manageable and fun. Finding her skills and personality in one person has been a gift.”

“Mark has been an awesome coach and mentor in my triathlon journey. I started working with Mark in January 2014 to prepare for my very first triathlon, the olympic distance Lavaman in Hawaii. At that point I wasn’t even sure I would complete the swim under the cut-off, let alone finish the race. Five years later triathlon has become a passion and a lifestyle, and I have successfully completed 3 Ironman, 7 half Ironman and many more olympic and sprint distance races. None of this would have been possible without Mark’s guidance in each of the three disciplines of the sport, his help with race preparation, as well as our twice weekly strength and conditioning sessions.”
