Meet Mark Stepham, your Boxercise instructor

Discover the journey that led me to create Boxercise Fitness 50plus and my passion for helping you achieve your fitness goals.

My journey

My name is Mark Stepham. I am 68 years old and recently retired following a varied and successful professional career. I spent many years working in the City as a US dollar trader before a significant personal setback in my mid-forties prompted a change in direction. I subsequently established and managed a successful chauffeur company for more than 20 years.

Finding passion in exercise

I have always been committed to health and fitness, which helps balance my enjoyment of good food and wine. Having had dogs for many years, and living in The Chess Valley, a daily walk, if not two, sometimes three, was always, and still is, on my daily agenda. Running in the valley gave me a tremendous physical and mental boost, and I went on to take part in several half marathons before completing the London Marathon in 2000.  In recent years,  I attend exercise classes at Chiltern Lifestyle Centre 4/5 times a week. 

From participant to instructor

Three years ago, I began participating in Boxercise classes at the Chiltern Lifestyle Centre. On several occasions, when the instructor was delayed, I stepped in to lead the warm-up and help prepare the group for the session.

This experience led me to undertake formal training as a Boxercise instructor. I now deliver Boxercise classes twice a week at the leisure centre. As interest has grown, several participants have asked whether I provide individual training sessions, which Boxercise Fitness 50plus aims to offer.
