Marcus Collings - Principle Trainer |

I am the owner of SASSOM Fitness and I have built the business from the ground up. My interest in training people started when I was a young teenager racing BMX. One night per week at the local BMX club I would coach the younger kids helping them improve their skills. Then when I started Martial Arts it was not long before I was teaching the new students on their first night. After obtaining my Black Belt I was asked to take over the club when my instructor was moving away. I have continued to train in and teach Martial Arts since 1991, and this has given me a lot of experience in how to push people to their limit to achieve things that they themselves never thought possible.
After teaching Martial Arts & training Thai Boxing fighters I decided it was time to learn more about the human body and how to train it better. I enrolled in a Personal Training Course at a local Brisbane college. I had started training some clients, so word was getting around, and the business started to grow. Most of the clients that I started with right in the beginning I still train today. The best thing about training people is seeing them do what they never believed they could do; the look on their face and the excitement that they have is just great, it keeps me coming back for more.
I developed an interest in rehab after working with some of Brisbane’s best physiotherapists. I now have the skills to train almost any client with almost any injury to assist them in getting back on track and achieving their goals. I also find a lot of clients enjoy doing some boxing and kickboxing as part their training. If you would like a trainer that works with you and helps keep you on track then give me a call.
