Mark Allen - B.Ed. (Hons.), Phys. Ed. Human Movement Studies

I have been active in the Fitness Industry for quite some time. My background and training includes:

Early 1980's Army Physical Training Instructor, The Parachute Regiment;
Head of Corporate Fitness developing assessment protocols, writing and implementing executive fitness courses prior to attending university in 1987;
De Montfort University, B.Ed.(Hons.) Physical Education and Humam Movement Studies, majoring Exercise Physiology and Health Related Fitness;
1990's-2000's School teaching, coaching and personal training;
Became self employed in 2006 and have shares in Key Fitness Gym in Whangaparoa, New Zealand.

I have been immersed in Aikido since 1991 and have twice trained at the World Aikido Headquarters in Tokyo, Japan. My dojo in Helensville, Auckland, New Zealand is small but busy and I train there every day with dedicated students of the art. I am also very fortunate to be able to run every day (usually in Woodhill Forest, Auckland) and weight train 6 days a week at the Helensville Fitness Centre. Somehow I manage to support this level of physical activity on a vegetarian diet!!! I have two children and enjoy participating in many of their activities. I would like to maintain a healthy active lifestyle for them as well as for myself.

My belief is that self motivation is driven by knowledge. You have to be self motivated to sustain most things in life and for me Health and Fitness is near the top of the list. If you take the time to learn about physical training and nutritional principles as you exercise you will be more likely to sustain that lifestyle for the rest of your life. You will be able to individualise your workouts, choosing the activities and exercises that work best for you. And who better to do that than yourself!

I play a very active and core role at BodyImpress My role is to lead the development of the BodyImpress Fitness Programme and educate new Fitness Mentors as they join BodyImpress teaching them the core principles of success and the BodyImpress system.

I take a personal interest in all our clients. I know that should you decide to join us, you will have the very best support, advice and encouragement to ensure your success.

I hope you take the decision to transform your life and prioritise your health and well being!
