About Mark Wildman
After years of training to be an aerialist– at age 28 Mark suffered a severe knee injury by falling from 25 feet. He destroyed his PCL , LCL, tendons and meniscus. He was told by the doctors he would never be able to run, lift weights, do martial art or do aerial again. After three surgeries over 2 years, didn’t walk for 6 months, did years of physical therapy. No one could rebuild him.
So he rebuilt himself. Using bodyweight, heavy clubs and kettlebells he was able to reengineer his structure, breathing, and movement to be able to do all the things he was told he would never be able to do again. Run, lift weights, practice martial arts and do aerial.
"Rebuilding is horrible and painful– but 99% of mornings, I wake up completely pain free. I used this knowledge to become a personal trainer for high level athletes and A-List actors." -Wildman

A letter, from Mark Wildman-
“One of my favorite examples of my programs at work is a kid I trained in Los Angeles. When we started, he had almost no muscle and his goal was simple: ‘I want to gain 25 pounds of muscle.’
I put him on a very basic schedule: two-hand heavy club and kettlebell snatch work, four days a week, for about a year. By the end of that year, he’d gained 25 pounds of solid muscle. He was jacked out of his mind.
Five years later, I ran into him at a taco stand. He told me, ‘The muscle hasn’t gone away.’ He was still as strong and muscular as the day we stopped training.
That’s what this kind of training does. When you build real structure, breathing, and movement with the right reps and progression, the results stick.”
