About Ralph Marine I was born in Cape Town, South Africa. My passion for health and fitness started when I was 16 years old. I was fortunate enough to be good at all sporting activities and enjoyed the feeling of being healthy and active. I joined my first gymnasium at the age of 17, and started working out in a closed environment, which at the time was a very new experience. I trained with Izzy Bloomberg, who was an olympic weight lifter and body builder. He provided me with the techniques and advantages, using weights as an added exercise in addition to my existing various sporting activities. He also provided me with the knowledge of sound nutrition and healthy eating habits. In those early days, meal and vitamin supplementation hardly existed.

My next phase was training with John Parks Sr; a very successful, competitive body builder. I learned how using different weights and exercises could alter one's body appearance from both ends of the scale. After that, I trained others at various gyms in the cape town area for several years. I came to America 20 years ago, resided in Los Angeles for 12, then moved to palm springs where I have lived for the past 8 years. I am certified with the International Sports Science Association and am an extremely knowledgeable and experienced person in the various fields that are necessary to achieving optimum health. I have worked with people of all ages, with diverse goals, helping them to feel and look the best that they can under almost every circumstance. I look forward to hearing from you, ultimately meeting, discussing and planning to your having an even more enjoyable life.

Yours, Most Sincerely,

Ralph Marine
