The Body Coach: Extraordinary People

“I opened my own gym, shortly after being registered blind”


Listen Later

In 2021, Mark was diagnosed with Retinitis Pigmentosa (RP), causing his vision to rapidly deteriorate. In this episode with Joe Wicks, he shares how being registered as blind hasn’t stopped him from achieving his goals.


Mark reflects on his diagnosis and reveals why he initially found it so difficult to accept his condition and ask for help. 


Plus, Joe and Mark discuss how his life has changed since losing his vision, how his guide dog Mary has hugely enhanced his life and how despite this life-altering diagnosis, Mark has managed to set up his own successful gym, The Coach House.
