CSM Game-Changer Issue with Cristiano Ronaldo 2019 GAME-CHANGER ISSUE - Heather Blackburn | Page 130

CSM: This is your feature debut to be on
Center Stage Magazine, what is the expe-
rience like when you are included in our
roster for 2019’s game-changer issue?
MARTIN: I feel very honored to be included
in the CSM 2019 game changer issue, I have
always wanted to be on the cover of a respect-
able fitness magazine. CSM: Being assertive and attentive is re-
quired for this profession. Have you ever
made or encountered difficult decisions?
How did you manage that?
MARTIN: I agree being assertive and atten-
tive is essential within the realm of health
and fitness; I faced a tough decision which
involved me moving to the other side of the
world, from the UK to Australia, in order
for me to gain more opportunities within the
realm of health, fitness and modeling.
CSM: What do you think makes Cen-
ter Stage Magazine stand-out or makes it
unique in other publications around the
globe?
MARTIN: CSM is unique in comparison to
other fitness magazines because of the huge
variety of fitness athletes they have on their
publications. Also they have adapted well to
the new age digital era. CSM: How do you handle the situation if
people get intimidated by you and your
work?
MARTIN: I simply maintain my authenticity
whenever I am feeling push back from other
individuals, I am self-aware enough to realise
that when people get intimidated by you or if
people say bad things about you, it is a pro-
jection of their own personal insecurities.
CSM: What are the duties and responsi-
bilities that entail to your current profes-
sion or career?
MARTIN: The responsibilities which are
required within my job as a personal train-
er and online transformation coach require
me to continue grow and constantly evolve
by learning as much as I can in regards to
resistance training, nutrition and everything
health related. CSM: What game-changing results do you
look forward this year?
MARTIN: This year I look forward to launch-
ing my new website with good friend and fel-
low CSM cover model- Andrew Bond. We
have our own podcast- Optimise Your Body,
which we use as a platform to educate people
about health, training and nutrition. We are
now going to be coaching people online one
to one, and I am also going to making some
game changing progress as a public speaker.
PERSONALITY
AND IN-DEPTH PERSONALITY
CSM: This year’s bimonthly edition is
about going for game-changing results in
careers and individuality and inspiring
people (being a beacon of inspiration);
describe how did you exude your game-
changing excellence and confidence in your
career and what did you do to push that
boundaries
MARTIN: In order for me to achieve game
changing excellence within my area of exper-
tise, I had to push the boundaries and gain
maximum exposure within the fitness and
bodybuilding world. I embarked on a journey
which took me to the professional level as a
fitness model competitor and ranking within
the top 10 WBFF Fitness Models in the world,
I did this all naturally with no performance
enhancing drugs whatsoever. This taught me
a lot about myself, and enabled me to gain
more credibility both as a model and online
influencer.
CSM: Describe the person who made an
impact in your life and how that is signifi-
cant.
MARTIN: Sal Di Stefano from Mind Pump
Podcast had a huge impact on my life because
he taught me so much about health, nutrition
and training programming, this helped evolve
over the past 4 years.
CSM: How do you set goals for yourself?
MARTIN: I set goals by setting small achiev-
able goals daily, this has helped gain lots of
momentum and gain more accomplishments.
CSM: What exactly motivates you to be a
game-changer and how do you do it?
MARTIN: I am motivated by simply being in
a position to help people build their best body
and achieve optimal health.
