Martin is the real deal. He's got deep human movement knowledge and an exquisite eye for detail. This means I am building strength with proper technique, while getting to know my body like an old friend. Plus, he's a genuinely nice person to be around. I wholeheartedly recommend Martin as your fitness guide.

Martin is kind, calm, understanding and encouraging. Since beginning sessions with Martin my strength has improved so much, making my physical job easier, as well as even improving my running pace (I’m setting new 5km PB’s every week).

Martin has been very understanding and conscientious of my previous injuries. Working with Martin, in tandem with a physio, on these issues has helped resolve some long term issues by strengthening muscles to avoid overuse of others.

In sessions Martin prioritises good consistent form and control for each exercise and is great at explaining and giving cues for how to achieve that.

I’m looking forward to continuing my strength training journey with Martin.

I started working with Martin as a complete newcomer to strength training. From our very first session he has impressed me with his care and professionalism. He is excellent at patiently explaining new exercises and giving feedback. Along with his calm and gentle demeanour, this has made for a really encouraging vibe which is very different from the stereotypical “personal trainer” persona that might have put me off.

I really appreciate how he’s focused on my long-term health and sustainable habits by erring on the side of establishing correct form and building up a safe foundation of strength, instead of risking injury by going too hard too early. He’s consistently impressed me with the depth and detail of his knowledge about anatomy and exercise science, while being humble and clear about the limits of his training.

Thanks to Martin I have built my knowledge and confidence and developed a newfound pleasure in working out, which has in turn helped me get stronger and fitter.

I would wholeheartedly recommend Martin to anyone looking for a highly knowledgeable and empathetic personal trainer.

Martin is a deeply considerate, knowledgeable, and diligent personal trainer! Strategically navigating my existing injuries, Martin carefully crafted multiple workout programs to efficiently meet my goals (skateboarding and general strength).

I was immediately impressed by his extensive knowledge of the human body, and how readily he indulged my own curiosity, answering my questions and explaining the rationale for each exercise in an intelligent but accessible way.

Martin is also incredibly sensitive and self-aware regarding issues like personal space, physical contact, and self-esteem, making our training together an absolute thrill! Thank you Martin!

As someone who has historically hated exercise, I was apprehensive about seeking out personal training services. However, I was getting to a stage in life where exercise was no longer something I could avoid.

Martin is great at formulating workouts that I actually enjoy, and he helped me learn how to do everything safely in a way that is easy to understand. But what truly sets Martin apart is his thoughtfulness. He approaches his work with an understanding of the barriers that can prevent someone from committing to a fitness routine, and he used that understanding to guide me to achieve my goals.

As a former exercise hater, this is testament to Martin’s conscientious and patient approach. And I have to say, I’m feeling healthier and happier than ever; so, consider me converted.
