Move Better.

Get Stronger.

Without Limitations.

“Markow Training Systems came in and opened up a whole new corner of exercise , movement, and fitness that I just didn’t even know. They got me through a couple of injuries. They showed me so many different avenues and so many different little nuances to focus on which improves the quality of the movement that I just never knew. It’s been a great journey so far these 18 months for me physically as well as mentally I feel awesome. I couldn’t be happier with the last year and a half and looking forward to more great times.”  – Jason L. 

“I just finished my tennis season and I wanted to thank you again for training with me. It really changed my life. I never felt back pain playing again. I didn’t have to worry before each match about the pain that I would have to go through, I didn’t have to fill myself with ibuprofens before each practice, and it just made me enjoy the sport again. So thank you so, so much.” -Sophie G

“I started training with Markow Training Systems in 2019 due to extreme hip pain and bicep tendonitis from powerlifting. After an assessment, we discovered major mobility limitations, and through focused mobility work, I started moving and feeling better.”

Within a year, I was back to powerlifting pain-free. When the pandemic hit, they adapted my training with bodyweight, kettlebell, and athletic movements like sprinting, which opened up a whole new way of training for me. Over time, my posture improved, my strength increased, and I learned how to properly use my body—especially my hips—when lifting.”

Now, I’m squatting and deadlifting heavier than ever, completely pain-free. Even as life changed, like becoming a father, they adjusted my program to fit my schedule while keeping me strong. The results speak for themselves—I move better, feel stronger, and train without pain.” – Carlos A.

“I’ve been training with Ian for nearly a year, and it’s been one of the best decisions I’ve ever made. Before working with him, I felt stuck—tight, unmotivated, and unsure of my next steps. Ian completely changed that by reigniting my love for movement. What sets him apart is his ability to communicate and his constant pursuit of knowledge. He studies multiple systems without being married to just one, distilling years of learning into exercises I can apply daily. His guidance has helped me not only improve my movement but also truly enjoy the process.

Over the past year, my biggest gains haven’t just been in numbers—though I’ve hit personal bests in running and biking, and my resting heart rate has dropped to 44 BPM. More importantly, I feel at home in my body. I feel strong, aligned, and connected in ways I never have before. Looking back at where I started with simple exercises and seeing my progress today is incredible. Ian, thank you for being an amazing coach, communicator, and friend. I’m grateful for everything you’ve taught me and look forward to continuing this journey.” – Cam B.

“As a personal trainer, recovering from a car accident in 2018 was a struggle. Every time I tried to regain strength, setbacks from concussion symptoms and chronic pain held me back. I had studied biomechanics, neural fundamentals, and FRC, but none of them felt like a complete solution—both for myself and my clients. I needed a program that seamlessly integrated rehab with strength training instead of keeping them separate.”

“I committed to training with Markow Training Systems and the transformation was immediate—my rib positioning improved, my chronic neck tension disappeared, and I finally felt in control of my body again. 

Through Markow Training Systems, I didn’t just learn techniques—I gained the ability to think critically about movement, integrate different modalities.” -Heidi L.

I’ve been training with Markow Training Systems for the past three years and literally transformed my life. When I first started training with them I was very thin and skinny in a way. I was very weak in my body.

Now I feel stronger and definitely healthier. I was very like twisted all over the place and had a lot of  pain in my lower back and now that’s completely gone. When I wake up and see myself in the mirror and all the muscles that we’ve built together, that’s been great.

“10+ years of working with Markow Training Systems and loving it. They are incredibly detailed with programming, taking into account client athletic goals, from improving stamina while playing sports to doing a pull up for the first time ever.

I am always grateful for their thoughtfulness and care with regards to working towards progressions. Their emphasis on proper form and mobility has allowed me to comfortably build strength and endurance injury free. Plus we were able to get me to do a split after I turned 30.

Client connectivity and communication is strong. They welcome feedback so that they can make the programming both effective and enjoyable. We work together to figure out how to plan workouts for the next 4-6 weeks so that I enjoy hitting the gym each day – it’s never homework.

For folks who have seemingly far reaching goals for their physical fitness, I wouldn’t recommend going to anyone besides Markow Training Systems. They can get you there. Speaking from a math/band geek who went from assisted pull ups to 15+ bodyweight pull ups from working with Marlow Training Systems.” – Yiwen

“I originally reached out to Markow Training Systems because I wanted to feel like an athlete again. I had spent too long thinking I understood movement, but working with Ian completely opened up a new world for me. I was stuck in my training, doing lots of CrossFit with no rotation, feeling stiff and robotic. I wasn’t in pain, but I knew I wasn’t performing at my best. My main goal was to unlock my body, move better, and see what I was truly capable of. Ian took what was working, adjusted what wasn’t, and made small but powerful tweaks. His ability to adapt my training based on feedback was a game-changer.

Some of the biggest takeaways from working with Markow Training Systems was learning how to use my whole foot, get into my hips, and open up my rib cage in relation to my pelvis. I no longer feel stuck in extension or like a robot—my body moves with more freedom and control than ever before. Going back into CrossFit and strength training, I can feel the difference in how I sprint, lift, and move. If you’re looking for a coach who truly understands movement and can help you move and train better, Markow Training Systems is the one. I’m beyond grateful for everything they’ve done for me.” – Abbey D

At every step, you’ll feel better and better, with plenty of options to progressively overload. Expect to reach new PRs you have never thought were possible.

FAQ

We make our individual programming twelve weeks mandatory at the start for a ton of reasons. The main reasons are to establish realistic expectations and ensure progress. True biological change takes longer than four weeks. This is our highest commitment to service, allowing us to do everything in our power to help you succeed. 

Every exercise in your program will come with a detailed coaching video. Students are also encouraged to video exercises they have questions about for form checks.

You will be able to ask unlimited questions. For example, we strongly suggest filming your exercise form every few weeks and sending them in. In addition, we are available with messaging whenever you need help. 

No! The program is based on your goals so it will always be the perfect mixture of what you want and need. While mobility can be our focus, we always include strength and breathing techniques to get the best results. 

Absolutely. We have had great success with athletes. Whether you want to throw 90 miles per hour or PR your marathon time we can help you succeed. We will base your plan off your assessment and goals leading to the right amount of aerobic capacity, mobility, and strength training.

In general yes. Please be prepared during your consult call to communicate any issues you have including physical therapy notes, MRI’s, and a detailed summary of your history. In the case that we feel you need more help we will absolutely tell you and advise against signing up for online training.

Your availability and level of commitment are defining factors in your program design. This means we will not give you more than you can handle and always enough to make progress. In general, 20 minutes a day for maintenance work and 4 days a week of 60-90 minutes is a winning formula. Your training background is huge factor here also meaning an athlete trying to capture that last 5% of potential will need to train more than someone who is getting back into shape. It is important to note that this training option allows for feedback and changes to be made throughout the program so nothing is set and stone.

Similar to the question about hours per week this is all about you. Having a world class gym opens up a lot of doors but we have had so many people make a ton of progress right in their own living room.

“MTS gave me the tools to get out of severe chronic hip pain and develop a huge understanding of what a real mobility practice looks like. This work inspired me to take the FRC and FR course for myself which I felt much more prepared for after MTS’s comprehensive programming and top notch coaching cues.” -Garret K.

“Working with MTS has been the ultimate form of self care. I finally am getting the targeted feedback where I’m certain I’m going to reach my goals – and have already come so far after the first 3 months. The programming is so thoughtful and efficient – so happy I decided to work with him.” -Lauren B.

“When he sent the program across, I was blown away by the level of detail put into it. Learning more of the theory side of things wasn’t my primary goal when seeking MTS’s guidance but found that reading through the program and watching the linked videos, I learnt a lot more than I already had done. Attention to the small details, that make such a big difference with mobility, is one of the main things I took away from working with MTS and now have a structure in place that I can carry on using for the rest of my life.” – Mark H

“My velocity PR jumped 5mph this fall and the program I got from MTS certainly played a huge role, but more importantly, I have confidence that I’ll stay healthy moving forward in my career. At 6’7’, I’ve battled with a constant slew of injuries since middle school that prevented my ability to consistently develop as an athlete. MTS identified huge mobility restrictions, strength deficiencies, and poor movement quality that were the root of my problems.” – Ben B.
