Personal Trainers Who Care Podcast Free Form Fitness

As a multi-sport athlete and dancer from the time he could walk, human movement and performance have always been a part of Mark Wilkinson's life. Equally at home on the court and on the stage, he became fascinated by the limitless possibilities for the human body and the dedication to health
required to sustain a body-centred career.

After years as a top junior tennis player, he focused on acting and singing. Years of performance and study led Mark to a collaborative PhD from the departments of music, speech, and hearing science, and otolaryngology of The Ohio State University.

You can find Mark at Free Form Fitness's Kanata location.
