His Name is Earl! Meet my new Trainer at Market Sports Gym.
Photos by Tito Nicolau at FrogInRedTie I was rather annoyed when the management of Market Sports gym transferred my personal trainer Lucian Comiza to a new branch of theirs. Apparently he is so good that Luciana Ramos (then manager of the gym), decided to take her star performer with her, when she moved to the new branch The Fitness Mosaic. As much as I enjoyed working out with Lucian, I am in no way going to trek all the way to Chalk Farm, although it isn’t that far from my neighbourhood in Old Street. But the whole point of going to a gym in the neighbourhood is because one can just walk there. When everything one needs…

Seafood for Hungry Boys; straight from Poseidon’s Platter.. for our pleasure!
What can I say? The use of alliteration makes any individual sound intelligent. Oops, I did it again! Lol 🙂 (insert obligatory smiley face here!). I am a Foodie! Always have been. Most of my years in Sri Lanka were spent in Wattala, on the island’s west coast. Even when I went to Colombo, I would be drawn towards the coastal region. This was mainly because of my passion for seafood. Seafood is not only a passion. It is an obsession. I have at least one item of seafood a day. I can’t function without this. I remember yelling, shouting and crying as a Kid, pestering my father to take me to the…

The Personal Trainer cometh! Introducing the fabulous Lucian Comiza at Market Sports.
Photos by Tito Nicolau at Frog in Red Tie. Oh Honey, smile much? Lol 🙂 The Man in Black in the picture above is Lucian Comiza. This charming Romanian Romeo is a brilliant trainer at Market Sports gym. He does smile you know? A lot. Sometimes from ear to ear! But today he is in a serious mood, strictly meaning business. Lucian is everything one needs in a Trainer; professional, efficient, punctual, reliable, friendly, cheerful and charming and can be demanding and pushy when needed. Especially when training a spoilt and lazy person like me! In fact, Lucian is a Fitness Instructor at Market Sports. He is not freelancing there as a Personal…

Tips from Mr. Romania; The Fitness Instructor at Market Sports!
Well, he hasn’t really won a Male Beauty Pageant, but that’s the new nickname I’ve bestowed upon Lucian Comiza, my trainer at Market Sports Gym! He is always armed with hints & tips about exercise, diet etc, and I constantly ask him various questions. I thought I’d share some of what I found out, with you readers. What sort of foods would you recommend before a full body workout, and how long does one have to wait after a meal before doing the workout? Each person is different. Therefore goals vary from one individual to another. There is no such thing as a “perfect regime or diet.” It all depends on the individual and his/her goals. Before a session you…

Ashtanga Yoga with Will, at Market Sports.
The last time I practised Yoga was several months ago, with a friend. I’ve never really been to a proper Yoga Class before and often did it with friends who practised it. It was never a regular thing for me. But this time, I decided to join one of the many classes available at Market Sports, which is the best gym I have been to so far, in The City. William Lavin, our instructor, has been practicing yoga for over 20 years and teaching for 10. He is a Yoga Alliance UK qualified Senior Yoga Teacher (SYT). Will has practised under the guidance of Sri K Patthabi Jois, the founder of modern Ashtanga…

A Weight Off My Mind at Market Sports!
I’ve never really enjoyed going to the gym, and have always preferred running and exercising at home or outdoors, whenever the weather permits. But ever since I joined Market Sports, I’ve started to enjoy going to the gym, which I thought would never happen. I used to force myself to go to the gym lately just so I can become super toned again, but thanks to the amazing staff at Market Sports who are very motivational and friendly, and the instructors I’ve had, the classes I’ve attended etc.. the experience has actually become satisfying and fulfilling. I started yesterday’s workout with Tom McDaid, fitness manager at Market Sports. Tom did the…

The Best Gym in the City! (Promotional Offer)
Joining Market Sports gym is the best decision I’ve made this summer! It is definitely the best gym I have been to in The City so far, and is situated in my neighbourhood (Shoreditch). It is exactly what a gym should be like. Simple, straight forward, useful and functional, with all the modern exercise equipment one needs. It’s very busy during peak times and popular classes tend to get booked up fast, so it is advisable to be an early bird! The buzz, vibe and atmosphere in this place are all great! An impressive list of classes, fantastic personal trainers and efficient staff are just some of the features that make the Market Sports experience feel both personal and special. The people are an eclectic…
