A LITTLE BIT ABOUT ME
Hey everyone! My name is Mark Bacon. I graduated from Western Washington University with a B.S. in Kinesiology with a specialization in Sport Psychology; additionally, I have years of medical experience working in the nursing field as well as in cardiac rehabilitation.
My passions include anything outdoors and fitness related, such as skiing, hiking, yoga, and lifting weights. Beyond that I am fascinated by personal development, the mind-body connection (our thoughts, emotions, and beliefs have a profound impact on our physical health!), nutrition, and recommend an integrative approach to health and wellness.
My expertise includes bodybuilding, powerlifting, overcoming eating disorders, general strength training, mobility and flexibility, and exercise correction. This blend of academic knowledge and personal experience gives me a unique perspective that I bring to my clients.
Through Built By Bacon, I have created a platform where I offer customized personal training and stretch therapy, share insights, emphasize the importance of collaboration and listening to your needs, and, of course, guidance towards your goals. My authority in this field is demonstrated through the application of my extensive knowledge and the positive impact I've had on my clients' lives, both physically and emotionally
My Philosophy
The sessions are always tailored towards the individual, whether you are coming for a stretch therapy session, personal training session, or both.
My “typical” training sessions are geared towards enhancing overall health by incorporating Primal Movements and other functional fitness training exercises with an emphasis on proper movement patterns.
I am always open to working with you as a team and finding the best possible method to reach your goals.
Regardless of your situation or experience, I simply love helping people progress towards their goals- whether that is to get stronger, leaner, more flexible, or just want to improve your quality of life!

THE IMPORTANCE OF TRUST
I believe in creating a space where clients can be vulnerable, work through challenges, and celebrate victories. My journey, marked by overcoming an eating disorder and managing depression and anxiety, allows me to empathize with my clients. I understand the struggles and the triumphs because I've been there. I'm not just a trainer; I'm a teammate in your journey. I will always be committed to your well-being and will be there for accountability, through the good days and the bad, guiding you towards a healthier, happier you.
