Background
How they coach
Marcus came up through powerlifting, competed at national level in the 93kg class and coached his first client at twenty-two. The decade he spent in big-box gyms shaped everything about how VANTA runs: capped classes, written programmes, quarterly testing and absolutely no commission-driven sales floor.
He still coaches eighteen hours a week, mostly the 6am strength class and a small personal training caseload. He writes the strength programming that every coach in the building delivers, and he re-writes it every quarter based on what the testing data says rather than what is fashionable.
Ask him about the first year and he will tell you about the eleven original members, nine of whom are still here.
If you cannot tell me what this week is for, you do not have a programme. You have a habit.
