Hello, I’m
Martin-Pierre.

I spent over a decade working as a personal trainer, alongside nutrition consulting and running my own private gym space. I’ve coached people with different ambitions, starting points and physical limitations.

That work taught me to look beyond a programme on paper. You need to understand the person in front of you, judge what is appropriate and explain the next step in a way they can use.

I have worked alongside doctors and physiotherapists, adapting training and nutrition around their guidance. An old injury or an existing care relationship does not automatically put coaching out of reach. We take time to understand what is appropriate for you.

Training has been part of my life for decades. I understand the satisfaction of getting stronger, the patience progress asks of you and the need to keep learning.

After a career change and two children, I took many years away from training. Finding my way back has been a real part of my own journey. If you are returning after a long gap, I know that feeling too.

I work full time in a demanding office role. I have family responsibilities, my own training and a business to build. I know that caring about your fitness does not magically create more hours in the day.

I’m also over 25 kg down from my heaviest. That is part of my own ongoing story, alongside rebuilding strength and fitness. It has given me a very current understanding of doing the work while the rest of life carries on.

I want a body that lets me do more, for longer. That is the thinking behind Built for Decades.

My product work has also shaped how I coach: understand the person, make the useful choices clear, learn from what actually happens and improve the system.

That means more than sending you a plan. I want you to feel known, to understand what matters now and to have someone paying attention as you put it into practice.

You stay involved in the decisions. As we go, we build the understanding and confidence that help you carry on for yourself.
