marco pacheco-silva

personal trainer

Marco’s fitness journey started 5 years ago, when he was very out of shape and his mental health was at a low point. He devoted a lot of his time to resistance and strength training in order to achieve a healthier future. Marco started coaching to not only help others find their way through their own journeys, but to also help show them it can be about more than just lifting weights. Marco was born in Redwood City and raised in Fairfield. He first started going to the gym at 17 when he was overweight and trying to start making healthier decisions. Ever since then he has learned, grown mentally and physically, and has had a more positive outlook on life overall.

Marco is ISSA certified and in the process of working on his nutrition certification through NASM. Before he joined Health Quest he was working at California Pet Hospital as a Veterinarian Technician.

Marco focuses on strength training, body recomposition, and weight loss. He believes that going to the gym to train, condition, lift, lose weight etc., to work towards a healthier lifestyle, will not only be beneficial in the long run, but will also help you focus much more on the positives of life.
