I’m 38yrs old, a nurse, a surfer and a father of 2 young kids. I’m not unwell or unfit but I’m not at my best either. I have been training one on one with Marcos over the last few months to regain my full fitness and health potential. Marcos’s tailored training sessions meant we built on my strengths and targeted my weaknesses. The changes were noticeable within a few weeks and my health and fitness improved I found I had more energy, was sleeping better, had improved flexibility and better core strength. I was also having fewer injuries and strains both at work and when surfing. Marcos will push you to your limits to ensure you reach your goals but not in a hard ass ‘Commando’ style. Marcos’s holistic approach and life philosophies mean you will be feeling better about your life – mind, body and soul in no time. He’s a dead set legend, all round nice guy and genuinely wants to help you. Just watch out for he’s “Brazilian counting” or he might have you doing a few extra reps!

My name is Sam and I am a very keen surfer. My best friend Lucas and I just started surf training with Marcos a few weeks ago. Since training with Marcos we have felt stronger, fitter and more flexible with every week! Marcos shows us the stoke of surfing and teaches us different techniques to massively improve to our surfing. We also learn how to understand different surf conditions while on the beach. Our sessions are fun but at the same time tough! We love the variety of training – warm ups, instructions on the beach, surf fitness and most importantly scoring some great waves. Thanks for the awesome coaching Marcos, we are learning so much and are getting a ton out of our SALT experience! We would recommend Marcos to anyone keen to surf and get fitter!

Thanks, Marcos, for pushing me and helping me prepare for the big moments!

Training with Marcos at Salt Performance Training really helped me unlock new levels in my surfing. We focused a lot on movement and flexibility, and I’ve noticed I’m way more fluid and loose on the board. Big thanks to Marcos for keeping the sessions fun and making a real difference in my performance!

Training with Marcos was just what I needed. Even as a pro, his sessions pushed my strength, mobility, and endurance to another level. I could feel the difference in my surfing, more power, more flow, and I wasn’t gassed at the end of long sessions. Appreciate you, Marcos!

After the birth of my second child I really felt like I’d lost all fitness and especially core strength. I lacked motivation and was finding it hard to work any sort of consistent exercise in with looking after the kids. However, since I’ve started training one on one with Marcos, I’ve got more energy and can actually see the results each week as I’m getting stronger. Not only that – Marcos has gone out of his way to make me feel comfortable throughout each session and has also allowed me to schedule my time with him in a way that fits in with family commitments. Marcos has a great approach to the training focusing not only on strength but also flexibility. He’s paid attention when I’ve had niggling pains or injuries and adjusted the sessions accordingly. Most of all – whilst he’ll push you to your limits – he makes it fun.

I have been training with Marcos for six months now. The amount of improvement in my surfing as well as overall movement has definitely shown through. As a Canadian, where skiing was my sport I didn’t grow up around the ocean so understanding wave position, tides and swell has all been new for me. I have been lucky enough to work with Marcos in which he has been able to teach me all of those skills. Marcos’s expertise to work on my weaknesses both on land and in the water have made me able to surf more confidently as well as gain strength and flexility that has translated to daily life and other sports I enjoy doing.
