Most people aren’t lazy or unmotivated. They’re overwhelmed by systems that don’t fit real life.

Many people are already working hard. They train consistently, try different programs, and push themselves—yet still feel stuck.

Not because they lack commitment, but because they’re juggling conflicting advice, unclear priorities, and systems that don’t fit real life. Over time, that confusion turns into frustration, fatigue, or giving up altogether.

Ground Up Fitness exists to give you:

  • clarity instead of confusion

  • structure instead of burnout

  • support without pressure

This is training designed to last — not to break you down.

HOW IT FEELS TO WORK WITH ME

Training that fits your life, supports your nervous system, and builds confidence over time.

WHAT YOU CAN EXPECT

Guided, not judged

Sessions meet you where you are, not where you should be.

Progress that fits real life

Training adapts to your schedule, energy, and stress — not the other way around.

Confidence over chaos

You know what you’re doing, why you’re doing it, and what comes next.

Sustainable strength

Sessions build resilience without burning you out — physically or mentally.

If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, the next step is simple.

There’s more than one way to work together. We’ll help you choose.

1:1 Coaching

Personalized coaching built around your body, your goals, and your pace.
Best if you want focused attention and a clear plan.

Group Training

Structured, coached sessions in a supportive environment — without chaos or competition.
Best if you want accountability, rhythm, and guidance.

Breathwork & Recovery

Breath-led practices to regulate your nervous system, improve recovery, and support resilience.
Best if stress, fatigue, or burnout are part of your story.

If this approach resonates, here’s how that support shows up.

What to expect when you start

Simple, clear steps — no pressure, no surprises.

Step 01

Conversation

We start with a conversation about your goals, history, injuries, and what you want to feel better at — physically and mentally. This helps us understand you, not just your fitness.

Step 02 

Movement Check

We look at how you move so we know where to begin. Everything is assessed safely and intelligently — without guessing.

Step 03 

First Session

Training starts at your level, with a focus on form, confidence, and momentum. The goal is progress — not pushing limits.

Step 04

Clear Next Steps

You leave knowing exactly what we’re working on, why it matters, and what comes next. No confusion. No pressure.

Nothing here requires you to be “ready.” You just have to start the conversation.

This is not “no pain, no gain” fitness.

❌ What this is not

    • Random workouts with no long-term plan

    • Ego-driven training or comparison

    • Bootcamp chaos that ignores recovery

    • “No pain, no gain” culture that wears you down

✅ What this is

  • Thoughtful, progressive training

  • Nervous-system-aware coaching

  • Strength built at the right pace, for the long term

  • Training that adapts to real life — not the other way around

The goal isn’t to push harder. It’s to build something that lasts. Progression, not perfection. 

What it’s like to train this way

Mace work- WOW!
I love that it reinforces me to use solid posture, strengthening my shoulder and upper back while my legs and core keep me grounded. I feel super strong for days after the mace workouts.
Martin’s joy for the sport is infectious!

Our instructor brings the energy to our Qigong classes while helping to guide us to balanced state. Teaching us step-by-step consistent movements that are enabling us to become more grounded, in tune with our inner Qi and flow through movements while allowing the body to gently stretch. I have truly learned and grown a lot since starting in this class and look forward to it each week.

I reached out to Martin to help our son with flexibility/ core strength. Our son joined the Animal Flow classes which seemed like the right balance of yoga, engagement and movement to meet his needs. In the past month, we noticed our son’s core strength and flexibility improve during tournaments. Beyond the class, Martin’s wealth of experience and passion are evident in his approach. Our son describes Martin as kind, knowledgeable and helpful.

I 100% recommend Martin and encourage everyone to join his class(es) or reach out with your goals so he can tailor a plan specific to your needs.

“I’ve seen what happens when training ignores the nervous system — and I won’t coach that way.”

Ready to take the next step — without pressure?

This starts with a simple conversation.
No sales pitch. No expectations.
Just a chance to talk through where you’re at and see if this is the right fit.
