Marcel
18 Month Transformation
“I was impressed from the start with the professionalism and holistic approach proposed by Iron Lab, as well as the hybrid coaching components. 18 months of work, including workouts, technique optimization, significant diet, change as well as psychological mindset fine-tuning. I will be forever grateful for them to have shown me the way from a time of my life when I was in unwell in my skin to now. I have now more confidence and courage which is helpful, professionally and personally.”
A bit about me: I'm middle aged overweight guy with a history of major hip, low back, elbow, feet, and shoulder injuries. Every couple years, I get sick of being broken and out of shape and try to get moving and eat healthy. Each time I've started to get active I've injured myself and slipped back to eating tonnes of crap as an emotional... support.
Martin's help has solved the two major road blocks to my goal of living a healthy lifestyle.
1. Expert movement evaluation and tool kit of mobility work to help me solve pain. With his guidance and the help of my excellent Chiro, RMT, and Acupuncturist if I felt some stiffness, pain, or soreness, I communicated it to Martin and he would trouble shoot the issue and prescribe mobility work to address. When I would have an appointment with one of my health care providers, Martin's diagnosis and prescribed remedies were in perfect alignment with their professional opinions, which gave me a lot of confidence in Martin. The result? We've successfully built strength in my posterior chain and core without a major back injury. For the first time since I was 12, I have a strong back and feel confident in it. This result is priceless for me.
2. A simple, common sense approach to nutrition that has made it possible for me to exchange my poor eating habits for great ones easily, no crazy will power required. When I used to try to eat better I would do a restrictive type diet like Paleo or the Whole 30, and they would make me miserable and I wouldn't be able to continue to comply. His approach of working to have proper portion sizes (unlimited veg, palm sized portion of protein, handful sized portion of carbs, and a thumb sized portion of fat), recording what I eat (I take pictures), and introducing moderation over weeks for my trouble food (ice cream) has been magical for me. Within two weeks I was eating 1/30 of the amount of ice cream I used to be consuming, feeling good about the change as I went. Now I eat a teaspoon of ice cream each night, relishing it, and appreciating how far I've come. Again, absolutely priceless.
Martin's honesty, transparency, knowledge, and experience add up to him being an unstoppable force for health in my life and I can't thank him enough. Money, time, and energy well spent, thanks Martin!read more

What can I say about Martin that a five star rating doesn’t? I’ve been training with him for almost two years. His enthusiasm and smile is infectious. His knowledge is decades deep and his attention to detail and concern for his clients is obvious and comforting. I would absolutely recommend him as a trainer to anyone looking to change their life or the way they train.

Martin is just great. He is always positive and knows how to push you when you are lazy by giving you extremely positive encouragement. When it comes to actual training he is very good at recognizing small muscle groups and areas where you need improvement in order to achieve your fitness goals. I would highly recommend him to anyone who wants to get a better version of themselves, and do it right.
Duncan
4 Month Transformation
Duncan came to us struggling to stay consistent with workouts and find a sustainable diet. His hectic schedule made it impossible to track and weigh his food or follow strict meal plans. Instead, we came up with a dietary strategy that increased his meal portions so he had less need for snacking.
Due to his extremely busy work schedule, we focused on at-home workouts and taught him the correct training form so he felt confident increasing the training intensity without getting injured.
The results speak for themselves: 17 lbs of fat loss in just 4 months.
