THE SCALE ISN'T THE WHOLE STORY
Most people who come to this page want to lose weight. I understand that. But the number on the scale doesn't tell you how much of your weight is fat, how much is muscle, how strong you are, or how you feel in your body.
With strength training and some changes to how you eat, you can lose fat while building or keeping muscle. Your weight might move less than you expect while your waist gets smaller, your clothes fit differently and your shape changes.
That's body composition. Weight loss can still be part of it. It just isn't the only result worth chasing.
I’M MARTIN
I was more active than I was healthy as a teenager. Sport on one side, junk food on the other, and a metabolism that eventually gave up trying to keep pace with my appetite. I started lifting at sixteen and I've been at it ever since.
That's why I don't believe in before and after. There is no after. You still have to live, eat and train once the photo would have been taken.
So if you're looking for the fastest possible drop on the scale, this probably isn't for you. I won't promise a fixed number of kilos by a fixed date, because bodies don't work to a marketing deadline. We build strength, change how you eat in ways you can keep, and give it time to compound.
I've coached for fifteen years. I care more about what you can still maintain a year from now than what you can force for six weeks.
HOW THE COACHING WORKS
STRENGTH TRAINING FIRST
Most clients train with me two or three times a week. We focus on progressive strength training, because muscle is part of the outcome, not something to sacrifice for a lower number.
ONE WEEK OF HOW YOU ACTUALLY EAT
Before I suggest changing any part of your diet, you keep track of what you eat for one week. The point isn't to eat perfectly for seven days. It's to see what your normal week really looks like.
A FEW DELIBERATE CHANGES
We go through it together and decide what will make the biggest difference. No complete overhaul, no rigid diet plan. You get food and nutrition guidance as we train, and we adjust it based on what actually works for you.
PROGRESS BEYOND THE SCALE
We can use the scale if it helps, but it doesn't get the final word. How your clothes fit, how your shape changes, what you can lift and how you feel in your skin all count.
WHERE WE TRAIN
Your sessions are on my fully equipped private terrace in Eixample, five minutes' walk from Arc de Triomf, or at your home, office or building gym.
Online sessions are there for the weeks you're away, for clients I already train in person. Same program, same standards, no gap in the work while you travel.
WHAT MY CLIENTS SAY
These are public Google reviews from people I’ve trained. Their words, not mine.

Weight loss coaching runs through my normal personal training packs.

HOW TO START TRAINING
SAY HELLO
Fill in the sign-up form, or message me on WhatsApp. Tell me what you want to change, your availability and where you'd like to train.
YOUR FIRST SESSION
We talk about what you want beyond a number on the scale, and what's worked for you before. Then a proper look at how you move and a light workout so I can see how you respond. By the end, we both know if we're a match.
THEN WE BUILD
You track what you eat for one week, then we go through it together and pick the first changes. Training carries on two or three times a week, with the program and the food guidance adjusted as you go.
COMMON QUESTIONS ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS IN BARCELONA
WILL I LOSE WEIGHT?
Probably, but I won't promise a specific number. You're more likely to lose fat and build muscle without a dramatic change on the scale. We look at the whole picture: your strength, your shape, your clothes and how you feel in your body.
HOW QUICKLY WILL I SEE RESULTS?
There's no honest universal answer. Your starting point, how consistently you train, your food, your sleep and your general health all matter. I'll tell you what I think is realistic once I understand your situation, but I won't sell you a deadline. If I think something medical might be affecting your progress, I'll say so and possibly suggest you speak to a doctor.
DO I GET A DIET PLAN?
No. You record how you normally eat for one week, then we go through it together and make a few deliberate changes. The guidance carries on as we learn what works in your actual life.
DO I NEED TO COUNT CALORIES?
No. You'll track what you eat for one week so we can both see it clearly, then it's a few changes you can keep rather than a spreadsheet. A deficit is still what drives fat loss, but you don't need to weigh your food to be in one.
DO I HAVE TO GIVE UP ALCOHOL?
No, but it's usually one of the first things worth looking at. Liquid calories disappear without filling you up, so cutting back there tends to buy you more than giving up food you actually enjoy.
DO I NEED TO BE FIT BEFORE I START?
No. We start with what you can do now. If you haven't trained in years, that's a normal starting point rather than a problem.
IS THIS A SEPARATE WEIGHT LOSS PACKAGE?
No. You take a normal personal training pack. The training, the food diary review and the ongoing guidance are shaped around fat loss and body composition.
DO I NEED TO COMMIT LONG TERM?
There is no long term contract. You can book single sessions and pay as you go. Most people move to a pack once they've decided. The full pack validity and cancellation terms are on the Prices page.
READY TO START?
Tell me what you want from training, when you're free and where you'd like to train. If you're not sure what you want yet, tell me that instead.
I read every enquiry myself and reply personally. If I'm not the right fit for you, I'll say so. If I am, we'll get started.
