Marc Miller is the co-owner at each of the Independent Training Spot locations. For 19 years, he has woken up everyday with the singular goal of bettering his clients and himself through intense focus, commitment and performance. He brings unparalleled passion to the craft and a personalized approach to each client to ensure he has a customized method to meet their goals.

To help those clients really exceed their goals he employs his signature brand of sports psychology and has a no-nonsense attitude about never making excuses or backing down from a challenge. His loyal clientele, who have become a fitness family, appreciate how his tried and true method is not a gimmick or the work of marketing - what you see, is what you get.
