I have been a client of Mark since 2000. I was referred to him by a Physical Therapist after my ACL reconstruction rehab was not going as I had hoped. I have been an athlete my entire life in a variety of sports from a young age. My body has taken a beating over the years and after turning 40, I was fit, running in the bay area foothills about 40 miles per week and playing USTA tennis. Long story short, I blew out my knee and ruptured my ACL during practice for upcoming USTA sectional playoffs. I had reconstruction and did all my required PT * months later I still had significant pain, swelling

Mark "Rif" Reifkind helped get me started with both Kettlebells and Z-Health back in the day, and for this and other things I shall be eternally grateful!
Like Mark, I've suffered from lower-back pain (LBP) over the years, but Mark is a kind, gentle, and extremely well informed and effective strength and movement coach. Since starting to work with Rif, I have gone through the DragonDoor HKC/RKC programs as well as the Z-Health R/I/S/T cirricula. I wouldn't be where I am now if it weren't for Rif, I just wish I had the chance to work with him more often and learn as much

Mark Reifkind is a Master Trainer in the RKC, and has a resume as long as my arm. Now bear in mind my arms are only six inches long, but still...
It is important to understand that there are many different levels of personal trainers, and at the top sits Mark. Receive the benefit of his 30 plus years of training at a high level in gymnastics, triathlon, marathons, swimming, powerlifting, kettlbells, etc.
It is possible to stack fitness on top of dysfunction if a trainer does not understand how the body works, so Mark's method of corrective exercise followed by truly strenuous and results
