I've worked with Marty for several years to help correct nagging injuries and faulty movement patterns. I didn't want to go the traditional trainer route and found Marty through his certification in kettlebells. He's helped me correct the need to wear orthotics due to foot overpronation by strengthening my lower leg muscles. I've also corrected lower back and elbow pain through the use of kettlebells and Indian clubs. Marty will design a custom program for you and your needs. It won't be a quick fix, but is a long term relationship that will help you feel stronger and more in tune with how your body is feeling

I came to Marty needing to refine my kettlebell swing. What I found was an extremely knowledgeable and skilled trainer and coach. The 24 sessions I spent with Marty were invaluable and set me on a path of deeper understanding of fitness and physical culture. Marty is s self avowed non-traditional trainer. Little did I know at the time that this approach was exactly what I needed. Not only did my kettlebell form improve dramatically but so did my mobility, strength, and stamina. He also introduced me to and trained me with the mace bell and Indian clubs, both unconventional tools, with major core, shoulder, thoracic, and grip benefit. We also covered rolling techniques and recovery methods. Marty coached me onto a path of greater, strength, skill, and physical fitness understanding. If you are looking to up your kettlebell skills, strengthen your weaknesses, and try an unconventional fitness approach, you cant do better than with Marty.

Marty is an outstanding trainer. I began my work with him because I was dissatisfied with the lack of attention to individual technique particularly in the use of kettlebells that I found with nearly all club trainers, even at the most exclusive gyms. They are simply too busy building numbers, not sound instruction. As a consequence, I acquired some bad habits and harmful movements. Marty is the consummate trainer focused on detail. He breaks down every swing, lunge, lift, and press into a series of aligned and integrated positions, moves, and even breathing technique so that I am aware at each phase of the exercise how my body is supposed to respond. The process may be slow, but it is deliberate and has generated impressive results. I am stronger, more balanced, and conscious of my movements. Marty has also helped me enormously with stretching techniques, my shoulder alignment, mobility, posture and functional asymmetries, as well as programs to direct my strength training into improving my endurance and power output in biking and swimming.
