Client Testimonials

"Before working with Kreig, I was genuinely afraid to even step into a gym. Years of chronic lower back pain and knee problems had me convinced that exercise would only make things worse. But from day one, Kreig approached my concerns with deep knowledge, patience, and care. He developed a personalized plan rooted in exercise physiology and neuro-orthopedic rehab principles that not only eased my pain but actually strengthened the areas I thought were beyond help. I’m now moving better, standing taller, and have a new level of confidence in my body I never thought possible. Kreig is a game-changer!"

I started training with Kreig in December of 2023.  I was referred to him by my orthopedic surgeon after undergoing a total knee replacement.  With Kreig's expertise, I was able to achieve neutral positioning with my left knee within 6 weeks post-op.  We continue to do strength training several days each week and I was recently able to complete a 16 mile hike race and finished 3rd in my age group.

Thank you Kreig!!!

"I've been training with Kreig for the past 1 1/2 years and he's been great.  His knowledge of health and fitness is very vast and he knows how to design a program specific for anyone he trains.  This is not a cookie-cutter type workout he creates.   

 

Thank you Kreig for pushing me to improve every session.

"What can I say about Kreig Marks that hasn't already been said by others who know him and have had the privilege to train with him?  He is the best, hands down.  He has more knowledge than any trainer I've ever worked with, and, as a very fortunate and grateful Fitness Model, I depend on my trainers to keep me in top shape year round. 

 

I was introduced to Kreig in 2015 through my modeling agency (after they did a lot of research to find the best trainer for me) and they struck gold.  He is not only a phenomenal trainer (the best I've every worked with) but a phenomenal person.  Whether we do our sessions at his studio or through Skype when I'm in LA or other places, he is amazing.  

 

Thank you Kreig for keeping me in shape and in check!

"Since the age of 6, I've gone through more types of training for football than I care to remember.  All that hard training brought me to college as a highly-recruited linebacker and then to the NFL.  After I retired as an NFL player, I wanted to continue to exercise every day, to stay in shape for myself and for my kids.  I was referred to Kreig by one of my former teammates and it's been a blessing and a curse.  When you first meet Kreig, he is not the biggest guy in the room by any means but his heart, attitude, dedication to his clients and knowledge make him a giant.  (Once again, I apologize for vomiting on your mats Kreig.  Next time, take it easier on me!)

I am a professional musician/singer and am currently on hiatus from a recent tour. I will be resuming a tour in March of 2023 and need to be in great stage shape. Being that I also have lower back issues, it was important for me to find a personal trainer with a very strong background in spinal issues.

Kreig's credentials, experience, knowledge, and professionalism set him apart from many other trainers.  It was also encouraging that he has worked with many professional singers, athletes, and celebrities and is very respectful of our privacy.

After meeting with Kreig and going over my goals, medical history, and what I required to be in "stage shape," Kreig put together an outstanding program. I could not be happier. He also makes it easy to reach him via telephone if I have any questions. 

Overall, phenomenal trainer, and I highly recommend him.

My name is Alan Jackowitz.  I am an author, former CPA and long-time client of the Parkinson's Fitness Center.  I was diagnosed with Parkinson's in 2008, one day before my 50th birthday.  I was having difficulty with my balance and dragging my feet when walking, nearly falling several times.  My doctor had me go through a few weeks of out-patient physical therapy. It helped me a bit but when I was discharged I was concerned about  being able to maintain what I had improved with PT. I wanted to make sure I kept my symptoms at bay and knew I had to exercise but did not know what to do or where to start.  I didn't want to exercise at just any place. Being recently diagnosed, I was very self-conscious. I asked my doctor if there was a place I could go where they had specific programs for people like me.​ My doctor didn't hesitate.  "Actually, I've got good news for you. There is a place like that and it's pretty close to where you live.  It's called the Parkinson's Fitness Center.  Give them a call and set up a consultation.  The owner, Kreig Marks, is a physical therapist and personal trainer. This is the only place in South Florida that specializes in exercise programs specific for people with PD and other types of movement disorders.  I've known Kreig for many years and he is the only person I would recommend. His exercise programs are very different from anything you've ever seen or tried. He's been interviewed on TV and in newspapers all over the country. He and his staff have over 100,000 combined clinical hours and 35 years experience working with people of all ages and stages of PD and other movement disorders."

 

I called Kreig. That was in November of 2008. In that brief telephone call, I felt like I had known Kreig forever. I went in for a consultation a few days later, and I've been exercising with him 2 to 3 days a week ever since. He's become one of my dearest friends. Without Kreig, I know that my symptoms would have progressed quickly and I'd be in very bad shape.  

 

Eight years later, I'm still independent, still drive, still do everything I've always done. Some things I've had to modify a bit but otherwise, I'm doing very well.  

 

If you've been diagnosed with PD or some other movement disorder, either recently or several years ago, I highly recommend you give Kreig a call TODAY.  He's going to push you and motivate you. I promise you, you will see improvements in a short time and feel so much better. Otherwise, you are going to decline rapidly and progress quickly with your symptoms. Remember, you're not alone in this.  All these diseases effect your family too, especially if you lose your independence. Do this for yourself and for them.  I not only speak for myself but for the countless others who attend the PFC every day.  If you want to speak to me about my personal experiences and success with Kreig and the PFC, I would be glad to answer any questions you may have.
