Here is what others had to say​

Rated 5 out of 5
"Marcus is knowledgeable, approachable and an experienced coach. Since training with Marcus I have knocked 4 minutes off my 10k time, improved in technique and confidence and he is now helping me prepare for my first marathon! His sessions are fun and challenging in equal measures and his thought process behind each one thoroughly explained. Would highly recommend Marcus to anyone looking to start or improve their running"

"Passionate about the work he does! Marcus brings the positivity, good vibes and always pushes me to be better. I have shaved off almost 4 minutes from my 5K in the last 3 months and feel that I understand how my body adapts to each run whether that’s interval training or easy runs. Marcus explains every session as well as how it will benefit an overall programme! Get in touch with him if you want to improve your running technique, need someone to hold you accountable or have a new goal in mind, you won’t be disappointed"

"I trained with Marcus for a number of years, which included 9 marathons. I was living overseas at the time which didn’t cause any issues as we communicated virtually. If you are looking for a trainer who will adapt your training to fit into your lifestyle then he is your man. He is knowledgable, approachable and makes you feel like an athlete (even if you are like me and nowhere near his gazelle like pace 😂)!"

"Marcus is not only a fantastic coach but also a genuinely top guy so is always a pleasure to be coached by! I’ve been training with Marcus for several months now and the progress I’ve made has exceeded all expectations. Thanks to the structured drills and tailored sessions we’ve worked on together, I’m running intervals faster and sustaining longer distances than I ever thought possible. Marcus puts careful thought into every session, explaining everything clearly and making it enjoyable with his infectious enthusiasm for running and coaching. His passion and knowledge make each session something to look forward to"

Marcus is an amazing coach and runner. His sessions helped me cut my 5K time by 5 minutes in just a few months. His drills have really improved my technique. Most importantly, however, he has helped me make running more enjoyable and fun! Highly recommended!

Common Questions About Coaching

Personal Training with Ryse is structured, results-driven coaching built around you. It’s not just workouts, it’s a system designed to help you get stronger, move better, and stay consistent without guesswork.

You’ll follow a tailored training plan based on your goals, experience, and lifestyle, with clear progression so you always know what to do and why you’re doing it. Alongside that, you’ll get ongoing support, guidance, and adjustments to keep you improving week after week.

Ryse isn’t about quick fixes or random sessions. It’s about building a stronger, more capable body through smart, consistent training that actually fits your life.

Online personal training with Ryse gives you everything you’d expect from a coach, without needing to be in the same room.

You’ll receive a fully personalised training plan delivered through an app, with clear instructions, progressions, and structure so you know exactly what to do each session. As you train, you log your workouts, track your progress, and stay accountable.

You’ll also have direct access to your coach for support, feedback, and adjustments. Whether it’s refining technique, progressing your programme, or working around a busy week, your plan evolves with you.

It’s flexible, structured, and built to fit your life, so you can train on your terms while still getting real results.

Yes, when it’s done properly. With Ryse, you’re following a structured, progressive plan tailored to you, not just turning up and guessing. You get clear direction, ongoing adjustments, and accountability, which is what actually drives results.

Anyone who wants a clear plan and real progress. Whether you’re a beginner looking for structure or someone experienced who’s tired of plateauing, Ryse is built for people who want to train with purpose.

You get a personalised training plan, ongoing support, and a system to track your progress. Every session has a purpose, and your plan evolves based on how you’re performing and recovering.

We build your plan around your goals, current fitness level, available equipment, and schedule. It’s not a template, it’s designed to fit your life so you can actually stick to it.

That depends on your consistency, but most people start to feel stronger and more structured within the first few weeks. Visible results follow when you stick to the plan.

Coaching is not for you if:

You're looking to quick wins

If you’re hoping for instant results or a quick fix, this probably isn’t the right fit. Real progress in training takes time, consistency, and a structured approach. The goal here is to build something that actually lasts, not chase short-term gains that don’t stick.

Not willing to keep consistency

If consistency is something you struggle with, it’ll be hard to get the most out of coaching. The biggest improvements come from showing up week after week, even when motivation dips. This is about building habits you can rely on, not just training when you feel like it.

You jump between plans instead of committing to one

If you find yourself constantly switching between plans, you’re likely holding yourself back. It’s easy to feel like something new will work better, but real progress comes from committing to a system and giving it time to do its job.

You're Perfect for Coaching if:

You want a clear system, not guesswork

If you’re tired of guessing what to do and want a clear, structured plan to follow, this is exactly what Ryse is built for. Every session has a purpose, and everything fits together to help you move forward with confidence.

You're ready to train consistently

If you’re ready to show up, put in the work, and stay consistent over time, you’ll get a lot out of this. You don’t need to be perfect, but you do need to be committed to the process and willing to keep going.

you want to improve and learn how to coach yourself long term

If you want to get better and actually understand your training, not just follow instructions, you’re in the right place. The aim is to help you improve now while giving you the tools and confidence to coach yourself in the long run.
