Who we are
What is synergy coaching?
Synergy coaching was born out of a passion for bodybuilding, a thirst for knowledge and constant improvement, a desire to help others achieve and to work closely with like minded individual to achieve awesome results. 30 years experience, numerous stage appearances, advanced qualifications, an obsession with pharmacology, biomechanics and general anatomy all come together to offer my clients an unrivalled coaching experience. Working out of my own gym Studio1 fitness with the very best equipment allows me to offer something a little more than the average coach working in a busy commercial gym.

TESTIMONIALS
Client Feedback
Mark has been my PT for over 8 years now, that speaks volumes itself. Mark always pushes you and gives the best advice with great results, makes working out fun and (mostly) enjoyable! The gym has a fantastic atmosphere where everyone is so friendly and approachable. Mark is always investing in gym with new equipment, his invaluable time and expertise. There’s nowhere else I’d rather train.
Kate Chandler
Having worked with Mark for many years, one of his biggest strengths is that Mark practises what he preaches. As a competitive bodybuilder, experienced trainer and owner of the best gym around, Mark is teaching and advising from a place of personal experience. He is honest with feedback, detail oriented, leaving no stone unturned but also compassionate in his approach to you and whatever goal you bring him. His passion for the sport also means that he is constantly testing and buying new equipment allowing his athletes to push the boundaries. All in all, a no nonsense, goal orientated trainer, who will help you become the best you, if you so desire.

Mark coached me for my PCA First Timers Show. I previously had PT with Mark so when I decided I wanted to compete, I knew I wanted him to coach me. Knowledgeable and passionate, Mark always explained what we were training and why. Whilst my life is pretty hectic, Mark made sure to keep me on track. He gave me the confidence and push I needed to get to where I wanted to be. I highly recommend Mark to anyone with a fitness goal and the right attitude. Thanks Mark! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Before working with Mark I had tried out multiple PTs and diet plans but nothing worked. My main goal was to lose weight so I mainly stuck to cardio, and stayed away from weights. Mark provided me with a workout plan suited to my goals, as well as a personalised nutrition plan. He completely transformed the way I train, introducing me to weights and pushing myself to failure. This has increased my confidence in the gym massively. Mark is always available in the gym if I need help, or even via WhatsApp when I have a question. My knowledge around training and nutrition has advanced dramatically since working with Mark and I feel I have a better understanding of it all. I wouldn’t be in the position I am today without Marks help and I’m forever grateful.

Before starting with Mark, I was feeling quite lost with my training and lacked a bit of focus and structure. I knew what I wanted to achieve but wasn’t really sure how to get there in the most effective way and felt I was going round in circle Since working with him, I feel so much more focused and confident in what I’m doing. He actually listens, works with you and adapts things to fit your goals rather than giving a generic plan. He’s always there to answer questions and explain things properly, which has made the whole process feel really supportive. I’m currently cutting for a photoshoot and having that accountability and guidance has made a huge difference. The app he uses is also brilliant, its really easy to use and having food, workouts, progress and tracking all in one place makes staying consistent so much easier. Overall, I’ve enjoyed the process way more than expected and feel like I’ve got direction again rather than just turning up and hoping for the best. Would definitely recommend Mark to anyone looking for support, structure and someone who genuinely cares about helping you reach your goals.

I’ve been training for years and wanted a coach who could help me take things to the next level and work towards competing on stage. From the start, it’s been clear that Mark really knows his stuff. His knowledge, attention to detail, and approach to coaching have given me complete confidence in the process. He has an outstanding reputation in the bodybuilding world, and it’s easy to see why. I’m excited for what’s ahead and have every confidence that he can help me bring my best physique to the stage.
Marie
I’ve been working with Mark at Studio 1 Fitness as a lifestyle client, and I couldn’t recommend him more. From day one, his professionalism, dedication, and genuine care for his clients have been evident. Mark consistently pushes me to be the best version of myself, while providing expert guidance tailored to my goals and lifestyle. Thanks to his structured programs, encouragement, and attention to detail, the results speak for themselves—friends and colleagues frequently comment on my improved strength and overall appearance. Beyond the physical transformation, I’ve gained confidence, discipline, and a healthier mindset, all thanks to Mark’s hard work and commitment. If you’re looking for a trainer who combines professionalism, motivation, and a real investment in your progress, Mark is the one to work with.

first got in touch with Mark Pelfrey and he invited me down to Studio One for a sit-down chat and a tour of the gym. From the very first meeting, Mark made me feel welcome and took the time to understand my goals before offering his coaching expertise and guidance. Joining Studio One has been one of the best decisions I've made. Since starting my training with Mark, my progress has been fantastic. Not only am I stronger and fitter, but I'm also much healthier overall. I'm eating properly, training correctly, and seeing results that I never thought possible. I've also made some great friends along the way, which has made the whole experience even more enjoyable. Mark is an outstanding coach and an even better person. He's friendly, approachable, and genuinely cares about helping his clients succeed. No matter what time of day I've messaged him, he's always replied, always willing to help, answer questions, and offer advice. He's constantly looking for ways to improve both himself and the people he coaches. Thank you, Mark, for all your support, encouragement, and dedication. Your guidance has made a huge difference in my life, and I'm incredibly grateful for everything you've done for me. I honestly couldn't recommend Mark and Studio One highly enough. If you're looking for a coach who is knowledgeable, supportive, and fully invested in helping you achieve your goals, Mark is the person you want in your corner.

Been training with Mark for 3 years - my first intro to proper PT strength training at 50 years old. Best thing I ever did fitness-wise. He has so much knowledge and experience - not just about training/diet but everything body health related. Has an amazing ability to gauge a client’s level quickly and ensures you train optimally with no risk of injury. Pushes you hard but safely. Tells you the truth about your training with no BS. Sessions are fun, whilst tough, because he has a great sense of humour. Training is hard for sure but with a lot of laughing. Highly recommend.

I’ve trained twice a week with Mark now for six months. Our 1/2 hour sessions have become a vitally important part of my week. After spending years in commercial gyms and not making progress, the community that Mark has crafted, and the expertise he applies to your goals, are exceptional. If you like: Being pushed to real fatigue where you cannot do another rep. Advice that is tailored to your own goals, whatever they are, and whatever level you’re starting at. Being held to account and to a high standard. Being told ‘this is going to hurt’, while being smiled at 😀 Feeling incredible, more capable and stronger than you could ever believe. Then Mark is your coach. He will match and bring the energy you turn up to each session with. Don’t bring nonsense to him. He’s too busy, and he’s not there to sort your life out. Bring focus and drive to try what he directs you to do. Bring trust that if you want to achieve a goal, you’ll have a coach on your team who will be honest and guide you to achieve it. Thank you, Mark for making me stronger. I cannot wait to see what we achieve under your guidance as we continue!

I started training with Mark when I was 37, at that time I had no real gym experience or nutritional knowledge. Initially my target was to gain weight, this quickly turned into a desire to compete. Undeterred by this challenge, Mark consistently delivered great training sessions, bespoke food plans, and his knowledge and encouragement, to achieve my goal. His no-nonsense but supportive approach to training and competition coaching has been fundamental to what we have achieved. Fast forward 15 years, my 16 trophies are testament to his skill, experience and dedication. If you are looking to compete or make lifestyle changes, I cannot recommend Mark highly enough!
