The Strength Loft

The Strength Loft is a truly unique experience, where you train in a private studio with a real professional. Marc has his Bachelor's and Master's degrees in Exercise Science and Applied Performance Physiology, and uses his decade+ of experience as a personal trainer to craft custom training programs that get results. On top of strength and conditioning, Marc also offers nutrition counseling and is a level 1 certified nutritionist under Dr. John Berardi's Precision Nutrition program.

Professional. Knowledgable. Great Customer Service! Mark has been working with me for about a month now and I'm loving the results. I recently had surgery and the meticulous approach toward rehab gives me the confidence that my goals will be met in no time. Regardless of your goals (i.e. rehab, strength, cardio, or nutrition), the Strength Loft has you covered!

If you are looking for a personal trainer, I would absolutely recommend Marc, independent of your current fitness level and your fitness goals. His, by appointment only, gym is conveniently located right of the highway in Wixom, MI. There is lots of parking available. And Marc is very flexible when making appointments and works around your schedule.When I first met Marc at his neat and clean gym, he sat me down and discussed my fitness goals and health history. I then had an initial trial workout session, in which he evaluated my current fitness level. This allowed him to tailor my workouts towards my fitness goals. He also gave me extremely helpful nutritional advice. I decided to sign-up for three months to give Marc a try. I could not have been happier with my decision - at the end of the initial three months I had lost 18 lb and my body fat had decreased by 3.8%! Marc made that possible with his knowledge, personality and his abilities to motivate me. I was so thankful for the goals he helped me achieve and I really enjoy working out with him that I have now been a regular client of his for the last 2.5 years.Marc mixes up the workouts each time, introducing new activities to target different muscle groups and to keep me on track to achieve my goals, which by the way he reevaluates on a regular basis. By doing this and by taking his role very seriously, he is always exceeding my expectations. And with his pleasant and contagious personality, and his ability to provide positive reinforcement, he is always able to push me to new limits. Training with him leaves me with strength, skills, and energy I didn't realize I could gain – and I therefore truly thank him for the ongoing positive impact he has on my life and me.

I have been training with Marc for about 3 months now with a focus on improving my strength and conditioning. The results are awesome so far and I have become considerably stronger already from when I first started. Family/friends have definitely been noticing the improvement and I just feel stronger overall which is a great feeling. I highly recommend for anyone who wants to improve their physique and overall health. There is no barrier to entry with this training program so do not feel deterred if you are a beginner because I was too.Marc is a great guy and very down to earth and he definitely knows his stuff. The workout regime is continuously changing to adapt to your needs and bring new challenges. The nutrition consulting is tailored specifically to your diet and schedule. Again, if you are looking to get stronger, lose weight, and just improve your overall health then I cannot recommend enough

UEFP and Marc are truly one of a kind! I was worried about being intimidated as I am not a body builder or athlete. Marc makes you feel at home and takes you one step at a time. He builds confidence in you and teaches you how to slowly modify your lifestyle without crazy diet changes and techniques you don't understand. I lost many inches and pounds, and used those sessions to de-stress after a tough day. What you can accomplish with a REAL personal trainer in one hour has blown my mind, and has been worth every dime! The meal suggestions, awesome recipes, and excellent communication are a real plus you can't get with group fitness classes. I would absolutely recommend Marc and UEFP to anyone who wants to de-stress, gain confidence, and become strong and healthy!! You would be a fool to pass him up!

Marc is the real deal. He is very knowledgeable, and will push you beyond your mental and physical limits. There's no question Marc knows exactly how to train you to get the most out of your body and mind to achieve your goals. Whether that be lose weight, gain weight, gain mass, gain strength, whatever your goal is, Marc can help you get there.Add to that that he teaches you exactly how to get your nutrition under control.The best part about working with Marc is how insightful he is. You learn just being there. He is so careful to explain what you are doing and why.He is always respectful and gets the best from you every workout. The real magic is I have lost almost 2 lbs a week while eating more (better, just more of it) and getting stronger. Throw in that my once high blood pressure is now back under control. Working out with Marc and Upper Echelon is one of the best decisions I’ve made in years.Better health, better fitness and a better life.

Really good training/trainer that managed to make me stronger and drop quite a few pounds. Digging how I look and I like the private studio too!

Marc's knowledge of strengh, conditioning, and nutrition is beyond awesome. Highly recommend him to anyone getting ready for mma fights, bjj tournaments, or physique shows

"UPPER ECHELON " is the perfect name for Marc and his studio.I have just signed up for a second time after taking a number of months off. I could not find anyone or anyplace that offered the same level of enthusiastic, science based training from a friendly, knowledgeable instructor in a clean, well equipped setting as Marc does. Also very accommodating on scheduling!

I'm happy to have the opportunity here to thank Marc for helping me over the past 1.5 + years to feel stronger and healthier at 53 than i have felt in the past 20 years.My stamina, strength, balance and even my golf game has dramatically improved.I have never trained before Upper Echilon and from the stories I have heard from friends and colleagues I am sure that Marcs company was the best choice I could have made.
