# Now Active Personal Training
Now Active is a personal training business based in Hove, run by Mark Potter, a certified personal trainer specialising in building gym confidence, strength training, and fitness for older adults. Operating since 2019, Mark launched his own brand, Now Active, in 2020.
Mark's approach is grounded in genuine understanding. Having personally lost significant weight from 121 kg, he knows what it's like to start a fitness journey from scratch. This experience shapes his philosophy: he recognises that everyone's fitness path is unique and works to find approaches clients genuinely enjoy rather than pursuing generic quick fixes.
The business caters to people feeling overwhelmed by gyms, those new to exercise, and anyone seeking sustainable fitness habits. Mark specialises in demystifying gym equipment and creating accessible, personalised programmes tailored to individual circumstances, injuries, time constraints and preferences.
What sets Now Active apart is the comprehensive support structure. Beyond weekly training sessions, clients receive personalised workout plans for independent use, weekly check-ins to address barriers and plan ahead, and daily support for accountability and questions. The taster session model removes pressure—clients can experience Mark's teaching style before committing.
Rather than chasing trends, Mark focuses on building lasting strength and health through clear instruction, structured progression, and celebration of progress. His emphasis on simplicity, clarity and confidence-building makes fitness accessible to those traditionally intimidated by gym environments.
