Martin Roberge

With 20 years of martial arts training, including a 2nd degree black belt in Shotokan karate, a black belt in kickboxing, and a world champion title, I bring a wealth of knowledge and experience to the table. As a former mental health counselor with 15yrs of experience, I understand the importance of sleep, diet, and exercise in maintaining optimal physical and mental health. I have a degree in psychology from the University of Sherbrooke, and am fluent in both French and English.

In 2020, I became certified as a personal trainer by the American Council on Exercise (A.C.E) and a Sport & Fitness Nutrition Specialist. My goal is to empower you to achieve your maximum potential, whether it be in athletic performance or overall health and wellness. With a non-judgmental, supportive, and positive approach, I will help you to overcome obstacles and reach new heights.

I believe that fitness is more than just exercise, it’s a holistic approach to well-being. That’s why I take the time to get to know you, your goals, and your unique needs. Our journey will start with a thorough health questionnaire and a functional movement screening. From there, I will create a personalized program that is tailored to your needs, taking into account any issues and maximizing your time and effort in the gym.

With my focus on proper form, I use a variety of training methods to keep you motivated and challenged. From bodyweight exercises, resistance bands, dumbbells, barbells, kettlebells, Indian clubs, steel maces, heavy bags, and even qigong, nothing is off limits to achieving the body, performance, and overall well-being that you deserve.

Say goodbye to the traditional drill sergeant mentality and hello to a safe, enjoyable, and motivating fitness journey. Join me at Ground Up Fitness and let’s transform your body, mind, and spirit, together. Let’s start from the ground up and reach new heights!”
