“I spent over a year training with Martin, and it has been a truly transformative experience. After a severe injury and years of frustration, I had been gaslighted into believing that pain was normal, that I needed to push through it, and that I was doing something wrong. Three years post-surgery, I was still struggling—until I started working with Martin.
He was the first person who genuinely listened to what I needed. He showed incredible patience, cared about my concerns, and worked with me to develop a plan tailored to my body and recovery needs. Through his guidance, I learned to listen to my body, understand its limits, and focus on movement that supported my healing.
For the first time in years, I experienced exercise without pain, and it was life-changing. Martin personalised every session, ensuring I always felt safe and supported. His approach gave me the confidence to trust my body again. The easy, natural conversations during sessions and his non-judgemental attitude made the whole experience even better.
If you’ve been struggling with injury, frustration, or feeling unheard, Martin is the trainer you need. I couldn’t recommend him highly enough!”

“I met with Martin to create an accessible plan for training after an injury. He is very knowledgeable, patient and willing to adapt to your unique training needs. He also really puts you at ease which I think is important as the gym can be an intimidating place for some. I felt very comfortable with him, all of my needs were taken into account and my concerns addressed, and I left feeling empowered to start training again. I definitely recommend and I look forward to working with him more. Thanks, Martin!”

“I am absolutely thrilled with the incredible progress I’ve made under the guidance of Martin. His expertise, dedication, and personalised approach have truly transformed my fitness journey. Not only does he possess a deep understanding of various workout techniques, but he also tailors each session to my individual needs and goals.
The positive and motivating atmosphere he created during our workouts is truly uplifting, making every session enjoyable.
I appreciate the patience and encouragement he consistently brings to our sessions, pushing me to surpass my own expectations. I highly recommend him to anyone seeking a supportive and knowledgeable fitness professional.”
Royina Saha
“Martin brings a positive and supportive attitude to training which is vital in setting the stage for the session. He is mindful of any goals and needs that you may have for yourself and accommodates them along with the best and most enjoyable way to achieve them.
He has a wealth of knowledge in using gym equipment and perfecting functional training type and form which he helps his clients learn in a bite-sized and approachable way. Martin is very attentive throughout and has a firm but fair approach.
Training with Martin has been a game-changer in how I see fitness and how to achieve it in the short and long term. I was able to change my perception of training from something I just had to do, to something I enjoy doing!
I would recommend Martin in a heartbeat!”
Emily Higgins
“I started with Martin over a year ago with no previous gym experience. Martin really knows his stuff, got me using a wide array equipment and always provided a positive work out experience for me. I would definitely recommend Martin for anyone looking to progress in their fitness journey.”

“Martin is really friendly and takes time to understand your fitness goals. He’ll show you different techniques if you’re struggling to do it a certain way, while also finding the balance of pushing you to something more challenging when you’re able for it.”

“I was an absolute beginner at the gym, and Martin really helped me find my feet. He listened to the areas that I wanted to focus on and helped me plan an individualised workout that suits my needs and goals.
He gave me lots of information about variations of different exercises in case the gym was busy and there was limited space on the machines, which was helpful. He also gave ongoing guidance on how to improve my form and helped me identify how I can change my diet to optimise my gains.
Martin is friendly and chatty, and our sessions always fly by. He’s really helped me improve my confidence in the gym and I highly recommend him as a personal trainer, whether you’re experienced at the gym, or an absolute beginner.”
Therese Martin
“Martin is a fantastic personal trainer. Hard working, dedicated, knowledgeable and develops flexible training plans to suit each person. He really helped increase my confidence in the gym and taught me exercises suitable to my goals. Would strongly recommend!”

Sarah Lawless
“I would highly recommend training with Martin! He is so professional, knowledgeable, encouraging and a great character. From day one I was a lot more comfortable in the gym than I had been previously- Martin helped improve my gym confidence and I felt myself getting stronger every week. With Martin’s guidance and great chats you’ll look forward to your sessions and start enjoying the gym!”
Muna
“Great sessions with Martin. My first time in the gym and he was friendly and very patient with the trainings. Made sure I understand how to use the equipment and what to do to achieve my workout goals!”
Francesca Miragoli
“Martin is friendly, patient and encouraging. He takes time to understand my current level of fitness & what I’d like to achieve; he guides me in setting goals that are achievable, monitors my improvements and keeps me motivated. It’s a pleasure training with him.”
Claire Mason
“Martin is the real deal. He made a big difference to my health journey with exercise programs, nutritional advice, and real care. He listened to me when I shared concerns about an old neck injury. I really appreciated that. Martin has a warm and kind disposition. My training with him was always a highlight of my day.”

“My whole experience with Martin was great from day one. We discussed the goals, changed everything that wasn’t working out during the process, and he gave me a bunch of good tips. However, the best thing I’ve learned through all the process is the confidence I’ve gained thanks to Martin. Now I’m able to go the gym by myself without feeling overwhelmed and this freedom is the best gift. My sessions with him felt even short as I had a great time (and great conversations!). The best personal trainer I could ever asked for.”
Jean MacQuillan
“I can honestly say, Martin is one of the most genuine PT you will meet. There is no BS with him. He puts a structure in place, and you will enjoy your sessions so much and you will be challenged. Importantly, you will also have loads of laughs. He will guide you re food and get you back on track. I struggled initially to lose weight I had put on like us all during past 2 years and rather than “a quick fix” Martin taught me that it is not a sprint, slow and steady.
I’ve dropped a dress size and getting closer to my goal. I still have the glass of wine as he makes everything work with your lifestyle. We are not professional athletes but just want to be happy and confident in our own skin. So if you are thinking of doing 1:1 I honestly cannot speak highly enough of Martin.”
Eavan Griffin
“Martin is a super trainer. He listens to what you want and organises detailed sessions to help you achieve your goals. I highly recommend training with him.”
Rebecca Fahy
“I started training with Martin when I was 5 months postpartum and wanted to re-start weight training. Martin has great expertise and guides me through each session with understanding of my goals while keeping the sessions challenging. Following 4 months of training, I feel that I have safely returned to pre-pregnancy/covid levels of training while not getting an injury. I am now fitter, stronger, and confident in the gym. Martin makes the training sessions really enjoyable and challenging. If you’re considering working with a PT, I couldn’t recommend Martin more.”
Alex Porter
“Martin is a fantastic trainer – so knowledgeable and would recommend to anyone who’s looking to improve their shape, form & confidence!!”
Lauren Costello
“I’ve really enjoyed training with Martin. I’m no longer intimidated by the gym or the machines in the gym. He has taught me techniques when lifting weights, so I won’t injure myself. It’s been great seeing myself get stronger as the weeks have gone on and starting to feel and see muscle definition. Martin was always flexible with times to make sure the gym sessions suited my schedule, and I also enjoyed the chats with him while working out! I would definitely recommend Martin to anyone whose looking for motivation to get started in the gym or looking to push their progress along!”
Steph
“Martin really improved my confidence in the gym! I am no longer intimidated and have gotten much stronger! Not only that, but he’s super personable. I looked forward to our sessions each week. Martin pushed me and gave me realistic goals to work towards, which was great motivation. I would recommend Martin to anyone, from those who are only starting their fitness journey, to those who just need that accountability and motivation.”
Maebh Crosbie
“My main goal was to build confidence in the gym given that I had very little experience. I found that Martin was not only extremely approachable, but also made me feel very comfortable in the gym. I have quickly gained confidence and feel like I have a basis of knowledge to work from. I will definitely continue to work with Martin going forward. Couldn’t recommend him enough.”

“I could not recommend Martin more!! I started doing weekly PT sessions with him after deciding it was time to join a gym again after falling out of a good fitness routine over the pandemic. I started to train with Martin after not being in a gym for a year and a half, I was unfit but more then that I was unconfident and didn’t know how to get back into it! Not only was Martin really knowledgeable, a really good trainer and pushed me each week he did so in a way that built my confidence back up and made we want to get my gym routine back! His experience allowed us to mix up our sessions, everything from boxing to try and learning new exercises with the gym equipment which was perfect for me!! Martin is a really excellent trainer and I’m so grateful to him getting me back into a good place physically and mentally.”
Emma Reid
“Martin is one of the loveliest and attentive trainers I’ve ever worked with. Coming to him I already had a good level of fitness, but he worked with me to make a program that not only challenged and pushed me beyond my capabilities but ensured we had a fun and positive session each time we trained so it never felt like work. I had a goal to lose a few kg and tone up for a wedding in only 8 weeks and with his training and nutrition advice I reached my goal and now feel stronger, fitter and my confidence has sky rocketed! Couldn’t have done it without him and would recommend him to anyone and everyone. Thank you so much Martin :D”
Andrea Neilan
“Martin is a highly personable and professional trainer. An absolute pleasure to deal with. I would highly recommend Martin to anyone, especially those who are not natural gym goers. You will be put fully at ease and will see amazing progress!”
Gemma O’Rourke
“I’ve been training with Martin for the past few months, the 1 on 1 coaching has been great for helping me to increase the weights I am lifting and also provides accountability to make sure I turn up to each session whether it’s a solo session or a PT session. My form has greatly improved and I’m also more confident when doing my solo workouts as I now have a deeper understanding of how to work each muscle group and have alternatives for each exercise. I’d definitely recommend Martin; he knows his stuff and is also lovely to chat to throughout your workout. Thanks Martin!”
Claire Fitzgerald
“I had been going to the gym for years, usually to stroll on the treadmill listening to a podcast or doing a few squats here and there. Surprise… I never quite got the results I wanted. I found the gym (especially weights), to be quite overwhelming and intimidating as I didn’t really know what I was doing.
One day, not long after getting engaged, I decided to contact Martin through his website to see if I could learn how better to train to get results. From day 1 Martin was extremely professional and attentive, and his instruction and encouragement were clear and concise. I trained with Martin on a weekly or bi-weekly basis for the months leading up to my wedding, and the results truly speak for themselves.
I am now educated about the training I should be doing for MY body, and no longer intimidated by anything in the gym. Within 2 or 3 sessions I was lifting heavier weights than I ever imagined and training every single part of my body.
It’s good fun training with Martin. Although professional, he’s also extremely friendly and I found myself always looking forward to our sessions. It’s not all fun and games though, and that post workout burn is something I’ll never enjoy!! Haha!
It’s also important for me to mention the benefit that training with Martin had on my mental health. It gave me great focus and drive and truly helped to alleviate my anxiety. Physically, I lost just over half a stone overall but gained muscle in every part of my body. I dropped a dress size just in time for the big day and felt wonderful in my dress.
I feel strong, confident, and healthier than ever before and it 100% is down to Martin’s encouragement and tough workout regime. I honestly cannot recommend Martin enough, whether you want to challenge yourself or simply look the best you ever have. Trust me!
It has been such a pleasure and I’m looking forward to challenging and pushing myself even further now that I have the knowledge and understanding of training properly. Thanks Martin!”

“Martin provides an excellent, professional and informative support as a personal trainer. He tailors the programmes to meet the particular needs of the individual and has helped me to feel more comfortable and confident in the gym, which can be a daunting place for an over 50 female rookie!!! I like the fact that he sets realistic and achievable goals that make sense!!”
Giulia Citrolo
“Martin is a very talented pt. Not only he is very prepared, but he is also extremely understanding and focused on his client traits: I’ve been training with him since 2017 and he keeps adapting our sessions to my goals, still ensuring I have a good time by having me always involved, even when we were working on my recovery from a bad sciatica.
I feel I can express any doubt or uncertainty concerning my fitness path to him and he will always answer in a competent and reassuring way. His good vibe is contagious.”
Fernanda Groetaers
“Great personal trainer, great person as well!”
Maria Federova
“Trained with Martin for 1 year. Had the best results than I have ever had during training. Moreover it was very fun, so I always had nice mood after training as a bonus. Definitely recommend!”
Roza Farahani
“He is a professional trainer; I am very happy and also lucky to start sports with a professional trainer like him.”
Grainne Humphreys
“Excellent trainer, focused, kind but tough.”
Gemma Monaghan
“I had put on a lot of weight and it was affecting my health and self-esteem, I bought an exercise bike and some weights, went to other gyms but I wasn’t motivated. That all changed when I met Martin. I learned so much about my body and what I am capable of doing when I push myself.
Achieving my fitness goals has helped me feel so much better about myself too. I’ve lost nearly 40lbs and I’m down 4 dress sizes. I’ve learned so much about nutrition and I’ve done loads of new things that I wouldn’t ever have tried like boxing and lifting weights.
Martin is the best! It’s really fun working out with him. Every session is different. He will push you because he knows what you’re capable of before you do.
He is the best trainer and I recommend him to everyone. I lost myself for a while and he gave me all the guidance I needed to find myself again and I’m a stronger, healthier me because of him.”
Emer Cunningham
I lost 8.5 lbs in 4 weeks and 3 inches off my waistline. I didn’t think it would be possible in such a short time as I was so unfit at the start. Martin is a fantastic trainer and such a nice guy. The sessions were tailored to my specific goals and were much more doable and enjoyable than I expected. I would definitely recommend Martin to anyone who wants to get fit or lose weight. I just wish I had done this sooner”
Grainne Conroy
“I was looking to get fit in my 40’s. I had tried working out myself and exercise classes with little success. Through working with Martin I‘m stronger and fitter now than I ever was in my 20’s, and my body shape has completely changed. He continually changes the workouts, pushes you to reach goals but knows when you’ve hit your max. I’ve never had an injury in the 2 years Martin has been training me. I now have more focus, better results and a coach who listens to what you want to achieve and works with you to get there.
Definitely recommend Martin, if you have a goal you want to reach whatever that is he will work with you and encourage you to achieve it. You get a programme tailored to you that changes as you progress. Unlike a lot of PT’s Martin has a wealth of knowledge and understands how each exercise impacts on the body. I’ve trained with a number of coaches over the years and Martin stands out, he has huge knowledge and experience having trained clients of all ages and fitness levels.”
Lorna Christie
“Martin is a great personal trainer. He takes the time at the start to determine your goals, injuries, diet, activity level etc. and caters your workout for you. He’s very encouraging and can answer any health or fitness related question you may have. And believe me, I had TONNES! Because Martin is qualified in Athletic Therapy, he knows a lot of fitness and the way the body works, so there’s no fear of getting injured when you’re working with him. I did 4 sessions with a different personal trainer before and I got absolutely nothing out of it. I got more out of one session with Martin than the 4 with her. You can tell he’s really passionate about what he does and is very invested in helping his clients lead active, healthy lives.”
