| I know Martin quite well. We recently spent time together in Dubai where I met his lovely wife Lesley. He is a Printer by trade, yet trains religiously when he can to improve.Throughout the stay Martin remained focused, calm, quiet and confident. His physique is well defined and he carries himself with a friendly manner at all times. As is common with all X Trainers I meet, he is commited to his training and loves any aspect of the X Training scene. He has had many constant placings this year and is currently 4th in 2007 Grand Prix . |
