About
Marcus Reid, founder & coach
Marcus spent six years coaching inside large commercial gyms before starting Reid Performance in 2019 - frustrated by watching clients get handed identical spreadsheet programmes regardless of their injury history, work schedule, or actual goals.
Before coaching, Marcus played semi-professional rugby league, which ended with a shoulder reconstruction at 24 - an experience that shaped his belief that training should build resilience, not just aesthetics. He still coaches every 1-to-1 client personally; Reid Performance does not operate on a franchised-trainer model.
