Meet The Staff
Mark Mogavero, CSCS
Owner, Dynamic Personal Training
Pine Brook Boot Camps Program Leader
Mark has earned the prestigious Certified Strength and Conditioning Specialist certification from the nationally accredited National Strength and Conditioning Association. A 1997 graduate of Muhlenberg College, Mark is a lifelong athlete, and fitness expert. In his years in the fitness industry, this renegade has blazed a new trail with the fitness programs offered to clients.
“Traditional exercise programs have no real world functional value,” Mark says. “Most of the programs out there are based on body building regiments from the 60’s and 70’s. If your goal is to grow big muscles and to hell with anything else, then that might work for you. But most of my clients, and 99 percent of the population wants to lose weight, feel better about themselves, and perform at a better level than they currently do. They want their backs to feel better, they want to run a local 5K, they want to be able to keep up with their kids and their hectic daily lifestyles. That is what my programs are tailored to achieve.”
Mark is well known and respected in the Northern NJ area. His clients have come from all walks of life, but his specialties are fat loss, circuit training boot camps, and training clients with low back pain. He established Dynamic Personal Training in 2003 with one goal in mind: cut through the BS, and get people results.
