Is he qualified and recommended? ​ Can I relate to him and his values? Will we get on?
​
I am Martin a 51 year old qualified personal trainer. Following an ephiphany moment in 2000 I transformed myself from "couch potato" to 'fitness fanatic'. Previously a London business professional with over 20 years training and event experience I am now passionate about helping clients improve their health and fitness and achieve their dreams.

What can PB offer that other PTs can't? Why will PB get me results?
​
My unique formula for fitness success was informed by research and experience. Effecting change requires a powerful self belief, commitment to a realistic plan and personalised support. Training will also be delivered in a style that you will respond to. Click to find out why PB is different or contact me for a free personal training consultation.
Can PB help me acheive my goals? Will I get a chance to discuss them?
​
I will only work with you if I believe I can help you achieve your goals which is why I offer a free PT consultation. My approach and background favours more mature clients who are prepared to pay a premium for a fully tailored service and impressive results. My areas of specialism focus on:
* Improved health and fitness * Looking better * Training for an event or occasion
​
How often, where and what type of training? Can I fit in training around my commitments?
Will I receive nutrition advice? How will we communicate and review progress?
I don't do 'production line' training so you can expect a personal programme and ongoing individual support whether in person, electronically or on the telephone. It all starts with a free fitness consultation followed by an indepth discovery meeting. I need to gather some key pieces of information (nothing too intrusive) as this will drive the training programme I design and recommend for you. Together we will review and refine, and then I will ask for your commitment. We will also have identified and mitigated any other barriers that may have hindered your progress in the past ensuring you are well set to deliver your goals this time. Your training plan will be flexible, fit around your lifestyle and include exercise and foods you like. To maintain your gains at the end of the programme I also offer a follow-up personal training service.
Studies have shown that a mentally and physically fit and healthy work force is more productive and less prone to sickness. I work with businesses to design fitness workouts for staff during lunch hours, before or after work. Offering this benefit is a way organisations can differentiate and demonstrate their commitment to employees. To find out more click here.

" ‘I can’t stand the thought of going to the gym…its just not me’
​
After a certain age the thought of attending a gym and knowing what exercises to do is enough to bring you nightmares!
​
That is until a leaflet from Martin landed on my doorstep, I needed to change but didn’t know where to start. A personal trainer with similar life experiences to my own, a former solicitor who made a decision to change his lifestyle and to inspire others in the benefits of excercise.
I plucked up the courage to call and arranged to meet Martin on a rainy November evening over a cup of coffee. One drink later I had committed to a 12 week program, 3 sessions a week both at home and also gym based. I am not going to lie, after the first session my partner found me on the floor with my feet in the air looking like a well cooked lobster wondering what I had let myself in for!
Martin’s encouragement, a shared joy of 80/90s music, an abundance of laughter; and seeing the changes in my health both physically and mentally kept me going back for more. Martin gave me the confidence and knowledge to be comfortable training on my own in the gym or joining weekly circuits and spinning classes.
I will be forever grateful for deciding to make that initial phone call and the changes this has manifested in my personal and professional life. Thank you Martin for giving me the belief to dance on the ceiling!"
