BENCHMARK
[/rs_special_text][rs_special_text font=”google_web_font_Maven Pro” tag=”h5″ font_weight=”400″ transform=”uppercase” font_size=”14px” letter_spacing=”3px”]
In the broadest sense, Benchmark Group is a focused lifestyle brand that merges health and wellness with smart, form-driven design. Since its debut in 1999, it has grown from comprehensive holistic fitness training—more than 16,000 hours—to an innovative, fully integrated network of services. As the company expands into the domain of design, it relies on unparalleled, customized programming to determine the physical space of each project. This innovative approach serves the interest of condo developers, owners and residents simultaneously and ensures that Benchmark Group delivers on its name. And thanks to Benchmark Group, there’s now a greater commitment to wellness within well-appointed environments. But to us, this has been a non-negotiable all along.

MOVEMENT HAUS
[/rs_special_text][rs_special_text font=”google_web_font_Maven Pro” tag=”h5″ font_weight=”400″ transform=”uppercase” font_size=”14px” letter_spacing=”3px”]
Movement Haus was created in 2010 with the distinct purpose to improve the settings in which people pursued their fitness goals. By branding health and fitness amenities, we are shaping the future of condominium living, adding a level of functionality to spaces that were previously designed with little consideration for the needs of each building demographic while overlooking how exercise has evolved over the past 15 years. Applying the services established by Benchmark Group, we are redefining state-of-the-art wellness environments by harnessing the combined expertise of developers and internationally recognized architecture and design firms to conceive noticeably different, exceedingly functional amenities. Already, we have completed 75 unique projects in North America, fulfilling design, lifestyle and management services. Our professionals know that form is impossible without function and vice versa. We are as motivated by sightlines and streamlined details as by strength training.

MARK J. STABLES
[/rs_special_text][rs_special_text font=”google_web_font_Maven Pro” tag=”h5″ font_weight=”400″ transform=”uppercase” font_size=”14px” letter_spacing=”3px”]
Founder + CEO, Benchmark Group | Founder, Movement Haus
When Mark founded Benchmark Group in 1999, at the age of 24, he drew from his expertise in kinesiology, wellness coaching and competitive cycling to develop a holistic fitness approach that would cater to high-achieving urban dwellers using their on-site gym facilities. With an extensive 18 year background in high performance training, he has worked with thousands of clients who have made lasting life changes. Logging more than 20,000 hours of fitness coaching in condominium fitness amenities affords Mark a unique perspective on designing and cultivating healthy communities. With the debut of Movement Haus in fall 2010, he kick-started the concept of branded fitness spaces at the precise moment when condos were elevating their amenities and attracting a wider demographic. Educated in exercise sciences (University of Waterloo) but a longtime architecture and design enthusiast, he has finally been able to combine the disciplines into an active practice where every decision—including spatial planning, renderings and marketing language, and fitness coaching—is uniquely determined to leverage brand potential. Today, with Benchmark Group and Movement Haus operating in tandem, Mark sees limitless opportunity to improve the wellbeing of individuals and residential communities alike.
