Hi, I’m Martin
Certified Personal Trainer & Nutrition Coach
Exercise Programs
A unique blend of Animal Flow, Mace Flow, Qigong, Spin, and Strength Training—designed to build mobility, power, and resilience from the ground up.
Cardiovascular
From high-energy spin sessions to flow-based conditioning, our cardio training boosts endurance, burns fat, and builds mental grit.
Weight Training
Classic strength training with barbells, kettlebells, and dumbbells—focused on progressive overload, solid technique, and balanced development.
Goal Setting
We start with clear, personalized goals—then build a plan to get you there with structure, accountability, and measurable progress.
My Approach
Certified Personal trainer & nutrition coach
I combine strength training, functional movement, breathwork, and flow-based practices to train both the body and the nervous system. Every program starts with understanding how you move, where you’re stuck, and what you’re really aiming for. This isn’t one-size-fits-all—it’s sustainable, smart, and built to support not just performance, but long-term resilience and mental clarity.

What My CLients Are Saying
★★★★★
“Martin 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 stretches, 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.
