How My Coaching Helped Martin Lose 9 pounds and 6% Body Fat

Muscle for Life with Mike Matthews

In this episode, I talk with Martin, who achieved remarkable results with Legion’s body transformation coaching service.

Martin had always been interested in fitness but struggled with gaining weight and building muscle. Running his own business made it challenging to find time for consistent workouts. Years ago, he discovered my book Bigger Leaner Stronger, which introduced him to effective training concepts. While he saw some progress, he felt he could achieve even better results and decided to sign up for Legion coaching.

With his coach's guidance, Martin learned to balance his work schedule with a structured fitness plan. Through this process, he lost 9 pounds, reduced his body fat by 6%, and trimmed 2 inches off his waist, all while increasing his overall strength and muscle mass.

In this podcast, Martin shares valuable insights into staying consistent, the importance of accountability, and navigating challenges. His story highlights how following straightforward, evidence-based advice can lead to impressive results.

Tune in to hear Martin’s story and discover how expert coaching and dedication can transform your body and life.
