Please accept this letter of recommendation as a reference in support of Mark Degen. I have now known Mark for over 3 years in his role as my personal trainer. Mark has always demonstrated the highest of professional standards in working with me to achieve my personal fitness goals. His superior knowledge of exercise physiology and encouraging support give me the confidence that I will maintain our relationship for a long time to come.
In addition to our routine training sessions, Mark has also provided me with superb massage services. In fact, as a skilled licensed massage therapist, he has even provided chair-massage treatments to my office staff!
Over the years, Mark has not only been a great trainer, but has also become a friend. His friendly manner, professional appearance and upbeat personality will allow him to become a welcome asset to your personal services organization.

Mark Degen has been my personal trainer since April of 2004.
Due to limited amount space in my home, he assisted me with the purchase of key pieces of equipment for achieving maximum goals. I now have my own personal gym, created just for me, and I love it!
In addition, not only does he provide excellent one-on-one training, but documents the progress and provides this information for my review.
Mark is an integral part of my fitness goals and I highly recommend him for anyone who is looking for a healthy change in their life.

I had the opportunity and the pleasure of having Mark Degen as my personal trainer and was more than pleased with his first-class abilities and professionalism. Mark demonstrated that both his years of experience as a personal trainer and his great knowledge of personal training are both more than superior and outstanding. He goes well beyond the role as just a personal trainer to make sure you are very comfortable and totally understand everything he teaches you. Mark also displays unbelievable patience and provides a great deal of motivation and encouragement. He does an excellent job as a personal trainer and is an extraordinary trainer that I would highly recommend to anyone.

It was a pleasure having you in our office providing massages to our staff. We have a very diverse group here at All Risks. Some of us have enjoyed professional massages in the past and for others this was a first time experience. I have received nothing but positive feedback from all 20 employees at All Risks.
We are impressed with your technique and professionalism and found your services to be very relaxing and helpful in reducing tension. We look forward to working with you again in the future.
Thanks again for your hard work and professionalism.

I am writing to let you know how pleased I am with the work of personal trainer Mark Degen. Mark has been working with my pre-adolescent son on a daily basis (excluding Saturdays) for one hour sessions.  He has been reliable and punctual, and most importantly, he has provided my son with an excellent program of cardiovascular, strengthening, and flexibility exercises. When he is working with my son, he gives him his full attention and educates him regarding diet and nutrition, in addition to teaching him the names of the muscle groups he is working. My son has made significant progress in terms of his physical condition, and is truly enjoying the process. As a result of his training with Mark, my son is more motivated to make lifestyle changes in diet and exercise, which will have an effect on his general health. During these times when there are so many children who are overweight and in poor physical condition, it is encouraging to know that there are services such as those that you provide that can contribute to alleviating the problem!
