Mark PalferyStudio 1 is owned and managed by Mark Palfery, a national level bodybuilder with an extensive background in personal training and martial arts.

Mark has always loved fitness and spent 10 years competing as a kick boxer and running a freestyle martial arts clubs in and around Hampshire. Like most guys mark always had an active interest in weight training and as his career in martial arts drew to a close he ended up moving more into bodybuilding and competitions which saw him winning the Novice south Britain in 1996, placing top 3 two years in a row in Mr. East Britain and after a break of 12 years from competition made a comeback to win the 2009 Masters class at the South Britain, qualifying for the British title in October. 2010 saw him win the Muscle talk championships in Bedford and then in October placed a slightly disappointing 11th at the Mr. Britain but you can win them all.

Mark has trained several national and international level female competitors (physique & Body-fitness) and has a wealth of experience in prepping female athletes as well as the guys. At Studio1 we are available for 1-1 personal at all levels and to meet specific training requirements as well as providing detailed dietary and nutritional advice. If you currently have your own personal trainer and are looking for a first class establishment to facilitate your training then unlike many gyms we welcome freelance personal trainers and their clients at Studio1 so call to discuss the pricing options which vary according to how frequently you want to use the gym.
