I went to the gym on the advice of doctors.  I was 23 stone, pre-diabetic, had high blood pressure and high cholesterol.  I was told i had to lose weight or end up on medication for the rest of my life.  When i first to the gym, i walked in mindlessly with no direction or real plan.  I decided to ask for help, met martin and my life changed.  At the time, i was tolds he was the nutrition guru and that he was the best to talk to about training plans.  In the beginning, all he asked for was honesty and hard work.  His plans eased me in and kept me interested and the nutrition advice was great.  Some people seemed scared to talk to Martin but you’ll never meet a nicer or more helpful guy.  I kept following his advice and he’s give me new training plans to keep things interesting.  He’s very motivational and keeps pushing you towards your goal.  He’s brutally honest but never cruel and asks the same of you.  I ended up losing 60+kg and all my health issues went away with the weight loss.  He’s such a great guy to talk to and really inspirational.  He is a master of his craft and you’ll always see him with books learning more.  I will never be able to thank this guy enough.  He is not only given me the tools to save my life by losing weight but also helped me sustain my weight loss and lead an active, healthy life.  Thanks mate!!
