I’ve been training with my trainer Marcelo at MCX lifestyle for almost a year now. I lost 10 lbs and went from barely touching the rim to dunking a basketball. I also learned a lot about nutrition and how to maintain a healthy lifestyle. I would definitely recommend MCX lifestyle."

Marcelo will design a fitness program for you that will not only help you reach your goal of becoming fit, he will make it fun to become fit. Marcelo will incorporate activities you already love to do, such as biking, paddle boarding, running and other activities; Marcelo will show you the proper form to get the most out of the activities you already enjoy. As a master trainer, he is knowledgable and cares about his client’s safety and well-being."

I am a long term client of Marcelo and I can’t speak highly enough of him – he gets results. I decided to get a trainer when i realized how long it had been since I stepped foot in a gym and that I needed a kick-start to get going. I was fortunate to have found Marcelo and he is by far the best, he takes the time to understand your needs and tailors his approach accordingly. Marcelo combines an all-encompassing knowledge of training methodologies including cardio, strength/core training and diet. His motivational personality will have you working harder than you thought possible. He makes each workout challenging and will continue to push his clients to new limits. After only one month, I started feeling stronger and noticing my endurance climb, this made the work outs become more fun. As I trained more with Marcelo feeling good was just natural. I am still training hard with him and do not intend to quit any time soon. Marcelo will take all the excuses off the board by being flexible with schedule, travel and even offers home workouts through live video which will kick your butt.”

My job involves long hours in front of a computer. As I got older, it was easier to put on weight than to exercise. I am great at making excuses! One day I looked at a picture of myself and barely recognized the woman in the photo. Do I really want to enter retirement out of shape and overweight? I want to be able to do the things I love, such as gardening and paddle boarding and keep up with my grandchildren. I used to run regularly. I loved to run. MCX Lifestyle has changed how I prioritize my health and fitness to make it important to me again. I have lost weight and gained strength, so I don’t hesitate to do physical activities. I am happier as a person and have achieved a healthier work life balance. I can’t say enough about the caring and professional support I have received from my coach."

“All my life I had difficulty losing weight and it was always necessary to take medication for it. But in 2017 I changed completely with MCX Lifestyle! For the first time I lost more than 20kg without any medication. With Marcelo’s guidance I learned the right nutrition and exercises. It really made the difference in my life. And I didn’t stop, because it’s not about only losing weight, it’s a process to keep the weight off, to have better lifestyle, to challenge my body and mind everyday!"

"Hi my name is Kyron, I have been training on and off since I was in high school but was never able to fully get the results I wanted from the gym due to a lack of knowledge and poor nutrition. A little over a year ago I decided to become a firefighter and I knew I needed to step up my game. After months of training myself I ran into Marcelo, I instantly knew I was talking to a professional. Marcelo’s passion and enthusiasm for fitness and nutrition is un paralleled by anyone I have met. I have been training with Marcelo for over 2 months now and in that time I dropped 20+ pounds of fat and improved my fitness 10 fold. I recently attended boot camp to become a Wild Land firefighter, with Marcelo’s help and guidance I was able to complete the fitness test in outstanding time and pushed myself to my limits and beyond during the training. I am now proud to say I am a member of the BC Wild Fire Service and could not have achieved my goals without the amazing help of Marcelo I am very grateful to have him in my corner, and happy to have him as a friend. If you have a goal and are willing to give it everything you have Marcelo is the man that can get you there. All you need to do is have a good attitude bring your all to training sessions and follow the nutritional advice he lays out. I honestly cannot say enough about my experience with Marcelo, it has been a complete game changer. So if your wanting a change don’t be afraid to go for it get out there and get after it. Anything is possible with the right people to guide you."

I was fortunate enough to be gifted sessions with MCX Lifestyle by my mother-in-law and long time client of Marcelo’s. I was at a place in my life where I didn’t feel very great about myself. I have been suffering through chronic pain and injury for years and had gained an alarming amount of weight in that time, along with a sense that I could never recover and be myself again. As a former athlete this was something I struggled with accepting. From the first time meeting Marcelo (online sessions) I could tell right away it was a good fit. He is extremely knowledgeable in his profession but also has the type of personality that is easy to connect with. He worked with me on my nutrition, injury recovery, exercise and all aspects of a healthy LIFESTYLE. Marcelo is always available for any questions and concerns and is always very supportive. He was able to cater to my injuries (with the knowledge and experience to make on-the-fly changes during a workout session) without sacrificing an extremely good workout and is still able to push me to my limits without aggravating my injuries. This was very encouraging to me as it was something I didn’t think was possible (especially while working and being a busy father of two). Marcelo has completely changed my outlook on my recovery from injury, fitness and nutrition. Which has ultimately changed my life. I became dedicated to the process and after just 12 weeks with MCX Lifestyle I lost 34 pounds, lost 7 inches from around my belly, and went from 33% to 24% body fat. I am extremely pleased with my progress and feel extremely fortunate to have the opportunity to train with a top notch trainer! I believe in MCX Lifestyle and Marcelo as a trainer. I will forever be part of the MCX Lifestyle community!"

Hi my name is Tim, I was referred to Marcelo by my son Kyron who went through a training program with Marcelo to prepare him for the entrance requirements of the BC Wildfire Service. I started working with Marcelo in April, with the initial focus being that we would get the fitness level up and achieve significant weight loss. I am happy to share that we have made significant strides in both areas. The careful attention that Marcelo has given to my nutritional needs and ensuring that I adhere to these, has been very consistent. The results speak for themselves as I have over three months achieved significant weight loss. This wasn’t pursued for purposes of aesthetics but to ensure that we addressed a pre-diabetic issue. The process that was followed gave attention to nutrition and lifestyle as well as ensuring that exercise was consistent and followed a very structured and incremental approach. The engagement on the part of Marcelo was also consistent and gave encouragement as well guidance. I truly believe that this is a journey, and that Marcelo has made that journey easier by being strict and disciplined in his approach throughout."

I am a 49 year old woman with 2 years suffering from menopause. In the pst 2 years, I had gained weight and suffered from all symptoms of this stage of my life. After I started training with Marcelo, I have learned about nutrition, I lost 16 pounds in 5 weeks and still progressing, and learned how to like exercising. I highly recommend Marcelo’s training program not only because of his ability and skills as a trainer but as a life coach. Thank you Marcelo for getting me back on my healthy place again!"

Marcelo was pleasantly surprised yesterday when he saw my recorded weight. He sent me a short encouraging message: “76.9!! Nice” To which I replied: “Yes Sir! The lowest I’ve been in the past 9 years… hit 73 kg at some point about a decade ago, but it was mainly due to immense stress brought about by abrupt career transition, etc. But this time it’s healthy and maintainable weight loss… LOVE it! I genuinely appreciate you helping me get here and beyond” So I figured to share it with prospective clients to know how well Marcelo’s training pays off. Highly recommend him to anyone at any fitness level.
