Mark Bruce is the founder and owner of FIT | STRENGTH Performance in Fairport, NY, a premier training facility dedicated to helping athletes jump higher, get stronger, move faster, and stay healthy. Since opening the gym in 2019, Mark has built a reputation for delivering evidence-based training that simplifies the science of performance and gets real results for athletes and adults alike.

A former multi-sport athlete, Mark played basketball and baseball at Fairport High School before continuing his basketball career at Hobart and William Smith Colleges. His background as a competitive athlete drives his passion for helping others maximize their potential on and off the court.

Since 2012, Mark has been training athletes and adults at multiple private gyms while also spending a handful of years coaching basketball players directly on the court. This combination of strength and conditioning expertise with sport-specific training gives his athletes a complete edge in performance.

Mark holds both his CSCS and ACE Personal Training certifications, and his expertise is especially sought after by basketball and volleyball athletes looking to elevate their game. His philosophy is simple: no clickbait exercises, no fluff—just proven methods that help athletes dominate their sport and adults reclaim their strength, energy, and confidence.

Outside the gym, Mark is a husband and father, motivated daily by his wife and two boys, Emmett and Lennox. They inspire him to do great things both in business and in life, and they remain at the core of his mission to impact as many lives as possible through fitness and performance training.
