About Me

Before coaching, I served in the military as a Royal Guardsman at the Palace. These days I'm based in Kentford, Suffolk, where I live with my wife Charlotte, my son Jake and our dog Lilly. Over the years I've built a returning client base and worked with over 800 people — helping them hit personal fitness goals and compete in physique competitions up and down the country.

Every plan I write is tailored to the individual because there's no wonder-cure that works for everybody. That's how I help people stay in shape for the long run. One thing I always say — consistency is key. We're in this for a marathon, not a sprint. Put your mind and all into something and you really can get results.

How It Began

My driving factor has always been the same — seek out quality knowledge from people with real, practical experience and adopt those teachings into my own coaching. I've never stopped learning, and I've never stopped being humbled by those further along the path than me.

That foundation means I understand how the body responds to change, when to push harder and when to pull back. It's not guesswork — it's fifteen years of doing the job, making the mistakes and refining the process so the people I work with get the best possible results.

My Fitness

I like to think of myself as a walking advertisement for what I do. I train consistently, I practice what I preach, and I've cemented long-term habits that drive my own transformation year after year. If I'm asking you to do the work, I'd better be doing it myself.

Changing how you look and feel is about so much more than scale weight each week. It's about the entire process — having someone to keep you accountable, track your progress and be there to answer questions when they come up. The changes you'll experience go far beyond the number on the scales.

Why Choose Marty

I treat every person as an individual — because that's what gets results. No cookie-cutter plans, no generic advice. Whether you're stepping into a gym for the first time, getting back in shape or prepping for the stage, I'll educate, support and hold you accountable every step of the way. Diets don't work. Sustainable lifestyle shifts do.

What Our Clients Say

Daniel Hilsden

"Marty is a brilliant coach and motivator, and definitely breaks the mould when it comes to what I thought about personal trainers. Marty is down to earth and knows how to keep you motivated and enthusiastic during a session without it coming across as barking orders - just enough push to get those few extra reps out of you that you didn't know you had! I've been seeing Marty for chest and leg sessions once a week since the new year and to say I've progressed would be an understatement. I'm safely lifting heavier weights (I have a pre-existing back issue) and Marty has always checked every single session that I'm in no pain or discomfort - my technique for each exercise has gotten undeniably better which has resulted in a real substantial gain in strength and knowledge for me in the first month alone! Can't recommend him enough; always happy, always focussed on you and seems to get a real kick out of helping others take significant strides forward!"
