In one of the interviews, Liam said that working out with Mark has been providing great results, despite the fact that he (Liam) is over 60 years old.

Training to keep Liam in the best shape possible while looking after the injured muscles makes Vanselow the right choice for every person, says a friend of Mark. Mark says that many trainers make bad decisions by giving the same workout program to each and every client, instead of first defining what that person’s fitness needs are.
