Mark Fisher Fitness (MFF) is a boutique fitness center located in the Hell’s Kitchen area of New York City. MFF offers classes, semi-private training, nutrition counseling and life coaching.[1]

History

Mark Fisher Fitness began as a personal training business entity. Mark began using the name Mark Fisher Fitness in the fall of 2010 with the launch of a newsletter, but the business did not become a corporate entity until May 2011. In June 2011, co-owner Michael Keeler joined Mark as a business partner. Current head trainer Kyle Langworthy was hired to offer part-time training and Brian Patrick Murphy was hired to help teach classes.

The business began with a program called Snatched in Six Weeks, a six-week makeover program involving exercise classes and nutritional guidance. The classes took place in a rehearsal space in Roy Arias studios in Midtown Manhattan. The Snatched in Six Weeks program grew, and by January 2012 MFF opened their clubhouse in Hell’s Kitchen.
