Testimonials

“A genuinely exceptional trainer!

After years of training and receiving advice from and consulting with various people I was still battling to deal with certain mobility and movement issues. Not only did Martin accurately identify these issues , the programs which he provided were brilliant. Actively engaging with the issues I faced and providing me with a program which specifically targeted the exact issues I was faced with, using a variety of techniques.

I’ve seen definite improvements in my mobility and have already started to see the carry through of these improvements into my other sports. Beyond being knowledgeable in his field, working with Martin was an absolute pleasure, he is pleasant to interact with and willing to assist beyond merely what is necessary.

Having made use of his online training facilities due to lockdown as well as his one on one sessions, I would definitely recommend either of these to anybody who is looking to get into training , or to take their training to the next level.
Overall a brilliant trainer whom I would highly recommend”

I’ve been training with Martin for the last 5 months and he Always finds a way to change up our sessions and keep them interesting! His knowledge and passion for what he does, goes beyond what one would generally expect from a trainer. Even with my busy schedule, he finds ways to keep me motivated.

 

Despite my many trips and breaks from training, he continued to motivate me over Whatsapp and provide me with workout plans to do on holiday. Martin is great at making you look forward to training and pushing yourself to reach your goals. You can tell that he’s invested in all of his clients lives and really has our well-being at heart!

“It is with great pleasure that I write this recommendation letter for my Personal Trainer, Martin De Kock. The expertise and guidance he’s provided through my strength training sessions have been amazing. His constant updates and redesigning of my sessions keep me progressing consistently.

The results over the last 8 months were better and faster than expected. Through Martin I discovered new confidence and even though the training is hard, I’m looking forward to each session! If a healthy lifestyle is becoming a serious consideration in your life, don’t hesitate to contact Martin for professional help!”

“We laughed and we joked hard but when we had to work we worked harder. My shout out and huge thank you goes to Martin… For being the best trainer I could ever ask for.

 

For making me feel so comfortable throughout the whole process especially when it came to weigh ins and photos (which by the way I wanted to die with just the  thought of standing half naked with all the extra fluff) you were super professional in everything that you did from your eating plans to the workout program.

 

You worked me hard and I sometimes had my down days but you got me back up again and for that I am truly thankful.  I’m so glad I asked you to help me on this journey that I’ve been battling with for years. Thank you so much for helping me to see proper results for helping me to get the confidence that I never had, the confidence to look in the mirror and say “wow damn you look good”.

 

The confidence to walk on the beach in a swimming costume and NOT have to wear a covering, and for the first time in my life to walk out of the fitting room in a store without crying. I am super bummed that our journey has come to an end but I will never forget what you taught me and I promise to keep on working hard.

“Martin is a very experienced and professional personal trainer. He goes above and beyond to make you the perfect exercise programme to suite your goals and body type. He has such a way of driving you to achieve your goals and push you hard. I have never worked with a trainer so interested in my well-being and results.

Martin is incredibly knowledgeable in his field, whether it be rehabilitation post injury or general stretching and strengthening. His advice on proper eating plans and on the eating do’s and donts is invaluable to the progression of your training. I have never looked or felt better. And i’m so excited to see my end results!!”

“I needed help with losing weight and Martin was the first person I contacted and this is a choice I will never regret. Martin showed me that exercising was more than just losing weight and that exercising has so much more benefits to offer, that include both physical and mental benefits.

The results that I got were amazing, I didn’t always eat right but I still lost weight and felt great mentally thanks to Martin who was always there to motivate and push me to be a better version of myself. I would definitely recommend Martin as a personal trainer to anyone who wants to start feeling great again. “

“Martin is a true professional in every aspect. He pays a great deal of attention to correct technique, which is a prerequisite for optimal results and injury prevention. His training programmes are diverse and changed on a regular basis, thus preventing boredom.

He motivates and challenges you to strive to push your personal boundaries to new heights in order to reach your utmost capabilities, whilst providing optimal encouragement and support. Training with Martin is purely enjoyable!”

“There is always something new and when I thought I saw it all, he always comes up with a new exciting exercise!!  Walking out of  class I don’t just feel good physically, my soul is also energized! ! Thanks Martin!!!”

“I have been attending personal training session with Martin De Kock for the last two months and I am very happy to say that I have seen great results. I have lost 8 kg and 3% body fat. Martin is very professional to work with and very encouraging.

He knows how to push me beyond my boundaries but ensures that safety comes first. He has exiting workouts and changes my program regularly to avoid me getting bored . I can refer him to anyone who is determined to improving their fitness, body and self-esteem . Margy Coetzee”

“Martin has been my personal trainer since December 2015. The results I have achieved to date are largely due to Martins perfect combination of diverse training methods, individualized exercise programs & challenging yet achievable goal setting.

Through consistent and positive feedback and encouragement, he has assisted me in obtaining and keeping my positive attitude while I transition my body to our agreed on goals. In a short time, I gained the confidence to walk into gym with my head held high and not shy away from any challenge Martin throws my way no matter how sore or tired I am, he always keeps me focussed and motivated.

Martin has helped instil that confidence. Thank you Martin for all the Faith you have in me. As a wise man once said “Keep pushing, keep moving forward, WE WILL BEAT THIS”. -Tanya Sleigh-“

“Martin takes the time to listen to what you want to achieve and helps you in every way he can to make it possible…He doesn’t just start drilling you from day one, but takes each day as it comes and what you are up for and pushes you when its needed without making you feel bad.

Best motivator when it gets tough and a great supporter while the sweat is a sign of hard work!!” Best trainer I’ve had so far!!
