"FEEL THE DIFFERENCE"

TESTIMONIALS

Jane (Mother from South Carlton)

I first heard about Martin’s services via the NCT and saw him for a series of massages during late pregnancy. I had been suffering with some hip and back pain and thought that massage may help. My first baby had also been breech and I was keen to ensure that this baby was head down to give me as much chance of a natural birth as possible.

I found the sessions with Martin extremely relaxing and so did baby who always nodded off to sleep! Being able to have a massage at home was wonderful and provided a great opportunity for some precious time for myself. I was very impressed by Martin’s professionalism and, in addition to the massage, he gave me some exercises for my back and hip problems and great advice on how to encourage the baby into a good position.

Martin also included the opportunity for my husband to learn some massage techniques ready for when I went into labour. This proved useful for both of us – my husband felt he would have a helpful role to play and I was reassured that he would be able to provide support using the massage we had practised.

Following the sessions with Martin and using the techniques we had learnt my labour went well I achieved a relatively quick and comfortable natural birth.

James age 19 (Lincoln)

When i first started personal training sessions with Martin i was suffering very badly from depression and had a very bad lifestyle. Being too depressed to cope with a job or education, I resorted to staying at home and sleeping all day, watching tv all night, binge eating and no social life. I was unhappy at being overweight and had no confidence. Working with Martin, he taught me the simple rules of a healthy lifestyle, and gave me week by week goals of how to get there that were manageable and practical for the personality i have. We set goals for my sleep pattern and food intake and worked together to come up with activities to fill up my time and raise my metabolism.

Week by week we worked within the comfort of my own home using the Gym-Sticks which were very effective, and would highly recommend over a free weights set, especially for beginners.

He also taught me how to eat well using the Gi Diet which i have since integrated into my lifestyle and couldn't be happier with the way i eat now. The exercises i did with Martin were tailored to suit my fitness and flexibility and we worked together to improve specific weaknesses and fitness concerns I had.

As time went by my confidence improved and i started adding activities to my lifestyle including 5-a-side football and cross training - the weight just fell off and without realising it, i began to socialise again and started to pursuing goals of my own. Since meeting Martin barely 6 months ago i have lost a good stone and a half, acquired a job and found a really good friend in Martin himself. I'm even looking to get into the instructing career path myself! This man know's what he's doing!

Alison aged 44 (Lincoln)

I started one to one personal training with Martin almost 9 months ago. I am hypothyroid and have many varying symptoms all which raise their head every so often. Since working with Martin the improvement has been amazing, slow but amazing! I have my off days physically and mentally all of which is taken into account, but the overall effect on my life is where the difference is. I am fitter and healthier and I have more confidence in myself so I can cope with my condition so much better than before. Martin is an incredible trainer; with his experience he seems to understand what you can do and how far you can go, and how much "gentle" persuasion to use to get the best out of you.

With the hypothyroidism comes a lot of muscle and joint pain, so to complement the personal training I occasionally use the MLD and aromatherapy massage, which helps me relax. The massage is indeed very relaxing and expertly applied by Martin, he is very aware of how self conscious us women can be and everything is very discreet, with modesty intact. It is a wonderful experience.

A final note from Martin:

I can't help but feel humble when I read these testimonials. Each person thanks me for my efforts but in reality it is a journey that we have taken together. I couldn't have achieved any of this without the confidence and belief of my clients. It is I who thank them.
