D8 Fitness Founder: Mark Bunce

Mark Bunce, the founder of www.d8fitness.com, is a certified Reps Fitness Instructor. He has 14 years’ experience in various types of training, ranging from Power Lifting and Muay thai to Krav maga and endurance racing, and has had the opportunity to train with many renowned conditioning coaches, including eleven-time world champion Igor Morozov and Master of Sport Valentin Erogov. Mark holds several certifications in Kettlebell, TRX, Bulgarian Bag and other training disciplines.

Four years ago, Mark discovered Kettlebells for his own training. He quickly realized the physical benefits, practical application and potential popularity of a fitness regimen that incorporates kettlebells and decided to take next step. After gaining certification to teach kettlebell training in the UK, Mark introduced them into his already successful fitness sessions in Dublin. He also launched an online store supplying kettlebells and strength and conditioning products to the Irish/European market.

Mark then joined the world of competitive fitness by entering the first ever Kettlebell Sports Lifting Competition in Ireland. He walked away with the Gold and 1st place for the Co-efficient award in his first year and Gold and Silver in his second. Most recently, he earned Gold while competing in Denmark for the Nordic cup.

Mark continues to support and employ the use of Kettlebell training and education in Dublin and beyond. More than 1600 hundred people from all walks of life, including professional trainers, emergency service providers, police officers, prison guards, and members of military and defense forces have attended his popular Kettlebell workshops.

Mark has recently enrolled at YTTC College, where he is studying the art of Hatha Yoga. He will add the discipline to the sessions he teaches as D8 Fitness as he continues preparing for kettlebell competitions at home and abroad.
