CSM: Describe the true nature of being
sexy and an eye-catching individual.
MARTIN: I guess the true nature is making
a health a priority, ever since I starting focus-
ing more on health, my physique and mind
became even more attractive.
CSM: The industry you are in right now is
very fast-paced, full of competition and full
of talent and unavoidable politics at times.
What makes you stand out and how do you
keep up with talented people around you?
MARTIN: To stand out once again it is im-
portant to be your true authentic self, way too
many fitness models and online influencers
are living a lie in order to gain an audience
and make money. By staying true to yourself,
this helps separate you from the rest of the
field.
CSM: Work-wise, what does it take to be
successful in this type of profession?
MARTIN: As a model and health influencer,
it takes consistency, discipline and patience.
You must practice what you preach and con-
tinue to apply the 3 skills that I mentioned
above, also being passionate about what you
do is key.
CSM: What is your great advice to those
who will venture this kind of work?
MARTIN: My advice to anyone who is look-
ing venture this work, is to be yourself as I
have mentioned, authenticity and staying true
to yourself is vital. Also I would advise not to
be sucked into how many likes you are getting
on Instagram, if your goal is to be successful
as a model or health/fitness guru, then you
need to put work into real life things such as
building relationships, and actually trying to
add value to people’s lives.
CSM: Cast a magic spell and wave your
magic wand, where do you see yourself ten
years from now?
MARTIN: 10 years from now I see myself and
our company- Optimise your body, as having
helped hundreds of thousands of people build
their best body, and transformed their lives
by optimising their health. Also I see myself
travelling the world as a public speaker with-
in the realm of fitness, health & nutrition.
