The population of older adults continues to grow across Los Angeles, which means the need for a personal trainer for seniors in Santa Monica has never been greater.
How fast is the senior population in this part of southern California growing? The number of seniors in Los Angeles is projected to grow from 1.44 million in 2020 to more than 2.32 million by 2040, a 61% increase over two decades. Senior women in Los Angeles will drive more of that growth given that they outlive their male peers on average by 5 years. That growth makes experienced professionals like Mark an essential resource for aging adults who want to stay strong, mobile, and independent.
Mark is a highly educated personal trainer for seniors in Santa Monica, serving older adults throughout Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey with thoughtful, science-based programs tailored to real-life needs.
Why Fitness Help for Seniors in Santa Monica Matters More Than Ever
Mark’s passion for fitness is deeply personal. Born with multiple respiratory issues, he experienced firsthand how movement, sports, and strength training can dramatically improve quality of life.
“Fitness changed my life,” Mark explains. “It helped me physically, but also socially and emotionally. I wanted to become a trainer because I’ve seen how powerful movement can be when it’s done the right way.”
That belief guides his work today as he provides fitness help for seniors in Santa Monica who are navigating muscular and joint pain, frequent falls, surgeries, and chronic health conditions.

Fitness Help for Seniors in Santa Monica: Real Stories
Mark has helped many seniors reclaim mobility and independence.
Esther, 79, came to Mark after two falls in six months. She had lost strength, relied on a cane, and feared falling again. After 16 weeks of training, she was able to walk without her cane. She regained her confidence to move about her home and climb stairs with confidence. Best of all, she is no longer living in fear of falls.
Larry, 82, was diagnosed with osteoporosis, herniated discs, and chronic lower back pain. After just 10 weeks of structured training, Mark helped him stabilize his core, reduce pain, and even improve bone density markers.
“Watching someone walk pain free again after major setbacks is incredibly rewarding,” Mark says. “That’s why I love working with seniors. Their commitment and enthusiasm are inspiring.”
Life Outside Senior Training in Santa Monica and Marina Del Rey
When he is not training clients, Mark stays active by running and biking along the beach. He also enjoys hiking in Malibu and playing tennis with friends. He prioritizes core stability and lower body strength in his own workouts and swears by the Bulgarian split squat. Photography, road trips, and discovering new restaurants fuel his creative side.
Originally from Rome, Italy, Mark moved to Los Angeles seven years ago to attend UCLA and fell in love with California’s lifestyle and outdoor energy.
