Now ACTIVE
Hi! I'm Mark Potter, a certified personal trainer based in Hove, England. I've been a Personal Trainer since 2019. I specialise in building gym confidence, strength training, and fitness for older adults. Having once weighed 121 kg (over 19 stone), I know first-hand what it's like to start a fitness routine from the ground up.
In 2020, I launched Now Active, my own personal training brand.
I understand that everyone's fitness journey is unique. I aim to find the best approach for you, help you achieve your goals, and discover a way of exercising that you genuinely enjoy.
I offer a variety of services designed to help you get active and finally enjoy exercising. Let's find a way to make fitness work for you!

About Mark Potter
I run Now Active, a personal training service, but I wasn’t always passionate about fitness. I discovered exercise later in life and now share my knowledge and experiences with others.
My fitness journey started with the scales tipping over 19 stone (120kg). I was a heavy drinker, a smoker, had a terrible diet, and lived a completely sedentary lifestyle. Through gradual changes, I began working on my physical and mental health. I started by adding running into my routine and improving my nutrition. Later, I joined a gym and explored different fitness methods. Over time, I lost over seven stone (45kg) and learned a lot about training along the way. In 2019, I became a certified personal trainer.
I spend much of my free time expanding my fitness knowledge and have developed a variety of techniques to help you on your fitness journey.
I believe that being physically active can have a huge impact on both your physical and mental health.
I specialise in building gym confidence, strength training, and fitness for older adults.
