ENGLISH-SPEAKING PERSONAL TRAINING IN BARCELONA

One to one strength training on my private terrace in Eixample or at your home.

WHY STRENGTH TRAINING

Strong is sexy. I don't think that's controversial.

Plenty of people start because they want to look better. That's a fine reason, and I won't pretend otherwise. It's just rarely the thing that keeps someone training years later.

What keeps people going is everything that comes with it. Confidence. Routine. Purpose. A body that does what you ask of it. Finding out you're capable of more than you thought.

I had a client get her first pull-ups twenty-one sessions in. By the third one she looked genuinely unconvinced her own body had just done it. That's the part I care about, and it changes how someone sees the rest of their training.

HOW I COACH

Most people arrive in a rush. Once we start, there is none.

The session is yours. Whatever's happening in the rest of your day, my attention is on you and the work in front of us.

The basics work, provided you do them extremely well. That's what I coach. No constant reinvention, just attention and progression. If an exercise doesn't suit your body, we find a variation that works or we switch it out entirely rather than forcing you into it.

Two or three focused sessions a week is enough for most people to make real progress. When work, family or travel change the plan, we adjust and keep going. Consistency is what makes it work, not intensity.

Quality over quantity, always. The goal is to leave every session feeling better than when you arrived.

TRAIN WHERE IS SUITS YOU

My fully equipped private terrace, your home, office or building gym.

CLEAR COACHING IN ENGLISH

I explain what we’re doing, what to focus on and why it matters.

UP TO SIXTY MINUTES

Some sessions are shorter. Others need the full hour. We finish when the work is done.

PROGRESS YOU CAN KEEP

Build strength consistently, without turning training into your whole life.

START TRAINING

I’M MARTIN

I wore a rubber ring in the pool to hide my belly. That's probably when I realised I needed to change. At sixteen my dad started taking my sister and me to the gym, and it turned out to be the best thing he ever did for us.

I used to train six days a week and felt worse for it. Now I train three and at forty two I've never felt better. I don't take time off because I don't need or want to, and whether I'll train isn't a question I ask myself any more.

I've coached for fifteen years and been based in Barcelona since 2014. I keep track of all your workouts so I know what you did last session, what we're working towards and when the plan needs to change. You do the work. I make sure it counts.

One bad experience early on is enough to put someone off training for years. Usually it's being pushed too hard, too soon. My job is to create positive experiences, so we start where you actually are and you'll always know what we're doing and why.

YOUR FIRST SESSION

A light workout, a proper look at how you move and an honest conversation about what you want from training and what's worked for you before. By the end, we both know if we're a match.

THEN WE GET TO WORK

Your sessions have a place in the week. I write the program, track it and change it as you change. Over time, you get stronger, build a routine that lasts and fall in love with training.
