Mark Doherty - Master Trainer

Meet Coach Mark — a highly experienced Personal Trainer, Body Transformation Coach and Performance Nutritionist with more than 33 years of hands-on coaching experience within the fitness industry.

Beginning his career with his first fitness qualification at just 17 years old, Mark has dedicated his professional life to helping people improve their physiques, health and performance through intelligent, individualised training and nutrition.

His academic and professional education includes postgraduate-level qualifications in Performance Nutrition and Biomechanics, alongside extensive advanced education in exercise mechanics, resistance training and programme design, including Resistance Training Specialist (RTS) and N1 Education.

Throughout his career, Mark has coached a diverse range of clients, from complete beginners and general-population clients to athletes, bodybuilders and physique competitors. His particular expertise lies in body transformation, fat loss, muscle development, body recomposition, nutrition and advanced resistance-training technique.

Over more than three decades on the gym floor, Mark has helped hundreds of men and women transform their physiques, while his wider coaching career has allowed him to work with and educate other personal trainers and fitness professionals.

Mark has also played a role in bringing advanced resistance-training education to Dubai, including RTS education, and has a strong interest in continuing to contribute to the development and education of coaches within the UAE fitness industry.

His coaching philosophy combines evidence-based nutrition with precise exercise execution, biomechanics and results-driven programme design. Rather than applying a one-size-fits-all system, Mark believes training and nutrition should be built around the individual, their goals, experience, lifestyle, capabilities and long-term health.

Having trained himself since 1991 and competed in bodybuilding and physique competitions, Mark brings both extensive professional knowledge and decades of practical experience to his coaching.

Today, his focus remains the same as it was when he began his career: to deliver an exceptional standard of coaching and help every client achieve the best possible result from their training and nutrition.
