A big man, but a big softie.  And a great role model for young men, and a great example for young ladies on how men should look after women and children. 

​Being a Firie and a qualified paramedic, proud father of three aspiring Yogis and champion husband of our instructor Karen, you seriously couldn't be in safer, more qualified hands.  As you can see, Sweat Depot is all about the family.

Big Marn is the man healing yogi.   Hit the bag for stress relief and strength, recharge and heal with his yoga instruction..  

I won't lie to you, I don't do boring. When you come to my boxing sessions expect to put yourself outside your comfort zone. Expect to be staring into space and probably gagging by the end. What can I offer you? Experience, a sense of adventure, being pushed to your limit and beyond, increased self awareness and being able to laugh at yourself. Oh and of course you will burn fat, increase explosive muscle power and endurance, improve coordination and confidence. And I ALWAYS finish with 10 minutes of yoga
