“Extreme Conditioning” are words not to be taken lightly – hardcore workouts that leave you feeling like you got your money’s worth.
I met Mr. Cotton on a cold December night when we began training. We discussed different workout plans as well as diets. I had always been in shape and enjoyed working out but I never got the results that I wanted. That all changed very quickly.
One summer afternoon during a workout, I was approached by one of the members of the gym and was asked if I ever thought about competing in a bodybuilding show. Well, at that time I did not think that was something I wanted to do. I enjoyed working out but doing shows was not in my play book. Mr. Cotton proceeded to answer that question for me.
And that is when “Extreme Conditioning” became a concept. Intensity and dedication was our motto. He spent many nights securing a plan that eventually had me in the best shape of my entire life. In made me earn the title of “Mr. New Jersey” of the middle weight class.
The crowd at the show was amazed; they were in awe at how good I looked. I could not believe that I achieved what I had. I never thought that I could ever look the way I did; it was amazing! Being up there to perform for the crowd was one of the biggest highlights of my life; it was an adrenaline rush that exploded through my veins
That was all made possible by Mark Cotton’s “Extreme Conditioning.” It’s not just a workout, it’s a journey; a journey into the best shape of your life. Whether you’re the serious hardcore bodybuilder or the scrawny Joe or Jill who wants to look good, Extreme Conditioning will work for you. I guarantee it!

How do I begin! I never experienced the durability of the mind and body until I met Mark Cotton. It’s a name that I will never forget; I will definitely hear the name for years to come.
Lou Reyes - NPC Bodybuilder
Since my years of competition in organized sports are far behind me, I decided to pick up on something new – the sport of bodybuilding. Its incredible how these men put their mind and body through so much. It wasn’t like the sports I played in the past.
For the first six weeks, I had my mind set on my first show. It wasn’t an NPC show but rather a Gym show. I figured if I wanted to get into this business, I needed to start somewhere. As the dieting changed and my body started to adjust, I was starting to mentally lose it. If that wasn’t bad enough, I had to deal with my trainer’s mouth five days a week.
I’ve trained…and trained with professional trainers…for 15 years, but nothing like this *%@#^%^. The man would break you mentally and physically. This $#&^%$# took me to a new level of harsh training. I never put my body through such training. The man pushed me to the extreme. It came to a point where I started to hate the bastard. As it got closer to the show, 3 weeks out, my diet changed from steak and protein shakes to f$%^*&# chicken and broccoli for 6 to 8 meals a day. Now that shit really broke me. I can’t even look at chicken the same.
My attitude even f^%$#^& changed. It even started to put a strain on my relationship. Now that shit was the worst part. Eventually the show ended up being cancelled. I was frustrated for weeks.
But, I’m glad I met Mark. The man knows his shit and is an excellent trainer. I’m planning to compete in 8 months and this @#%^$#*& is going to be the one to get me ready; even if I don’t want to. To be the best, you have to be surrounded by the best. So…I look forward to training with Mark in the future.
You want results; he’s your *&^%$#$^ man! Just prepare yourself for the training of your life!

As a former college and professional soccer player I highly recommend Mark Cotton’s athletic training. After several years of a layoff due to injuries Mark helped me regain my strength and also rehabbed some nagging injuries.
If you are an athlete and are looking for an edge, look no further. Strength, speed, stamina, you name it. Mark can help you achieve it.

“Mark is a great personal trainer. He is the guy if you want results. He works you hard
and pushes you to your maximum ability. He is very knowledgeable about what he is doing
and his sessions are fun. You will look forward to the next one, for sure.”
Clorinda H.
“I hired Mark as a personal trainer early this year after I joined a local gym. While he
certainly pushed me to my limits, he never pushed me passed them. His efforts helped
me to attain the results that I was looking for. I would, and have, recommended him to
my friends and colleagues.”
Otto K.
“I just finished three training sessions with Mark Cotton and wanted to let you know what
a positive experience it was for me. Most importantly, he encouraged me to push myself
harder than I ever have before at the gym and gave me a new insight into what I can be
doing to improve my fitness level at this point in my life”.
Linda L.
“I really got a lot out of the sessions that I had with him. Although vigorous, Mark really
helped push me through them. He was a source of great motivation. Even though I
work out a lot on my own, the exercises he introduced me to really push my body much
further than I would have on my own. I recommend him highly as a personal trainer”.
