Testimonials for Mark Diaz,
Founder of Primal Rotational Patterns

GoRuck Challenge

I am happy to report that my shoulder feels great – I bench press without pain. … [I]f you are patient and follow the protocols, you will be very happy with the results.

I reached out to Mark Diaz, in November of 2015, after I barely completed my first “GORUCK- Light” event. At 52, I wasn’t ready to throw in the towel, and slowly let myself get worse and worse each year. I was having issues training due to pain in my left shoulder, knees, and feet. At 53, I am happy to report that my shoulder feels great – I bench press without pain. I Ruck without no pain.

I will say, if you are patient and follow the protocols, you will be very happy with the results. I was seriously considering Hormone Replacement Therapy, but was concerned about the side effects 15 years from now. Mark, thank you.

Figure Competition

I was astounded by how I was able to drop fat and cut in specific areas … in a matter of weeks! Other than being professional, highly knowledgeable, flexible with my schedule, and a pleasure to work with, my experience with Mark has helped to build my confidence in knowing that I can control the smallest details of my body.

I’ve always managed to keep a pretty active lifestyle, whether it was through gymnastics, cheerleading, or just plain gym time. In 2005, I decided to become a certified personal trainer, and I began training full time.

Needless to say, it didn’t take long to realize where my passion was. My career as a personal trainer eventually led to a strong desire to push my body even further, and I began to participate in figure competitions. My first competition was an NPC show where I placed 4th in my category.

Months later, I met Mark Diaz. I was intrigued by his knowledge and willingness to help me as I prepared for my next competition.

We worked together for two months, and I was astounded by how I was able to drop fat and cut in specific areas so quickly to achieve my goals. It was motivating to say the least, as I watched my body fat significantly drop in a matter of weeks! It gave me the confidence needed to compete in three shows in June alone! My first in June was another NPC event where I took 6th place. One week after that , I competed in an INBF show where I placed 2nd, and my third, another INBF show, I competed in two categories, Figure and Fit Body, and placed 2nd in both.

Other than being professional, highly knowledgeable, flexible with my schedule, and a pleasure to work with, my experience with Mark has helped to build my confidence in knowing that I can control the smallest details of my body, and when doing figure, a girl knows that every detail counts. Thanks, Mark.
