Training With Martin

Body Recomposition at Legacy.

Body recomposition is the goal of losing fat and building or keeping muscle at the same time, so the scale matters less than what the body is made of. It is slower to read on a bathroom scale and more durable than a crash diet, because the training signal that tells the body to keep muscle stays on while energy intake is managed.

01

A baseline first

Your coach records starting measurements, movement quality, training history and current eating habits, so progress is compared with your own numbers rather than a generic target.

02

Resistance training as the engine

Programs are built around progressive strength work for the major muscle groups, with the load, volume and rest chosen for your experience level and schedule.

03

Nutrition that fits your life

Food guidance is practical: protein targets, meal timing that matches your day, and adjustments when progress stalls. Coaches work within their scope and refer out for medical nutrition needs.

04

Check-ins and adjustments

Measurements, photos, training logs and how you feel are reviewed on a schedule, and the plan changes when the data says it should.

Who body recomposition coaching suits
  • People who want to lose fat without losing the muscle they have
  • Lifters who have plateaued and want a structured approach
  • Anyone who has dieted before and regained the weight
  • Newer trainees who want shape and strength, not just a lower number on a scale
A typical first month

Every plan is built around the individual, so your coach will adjust this. As a general shape, the first four weeks of body recomposition coaching tend to run like this.

01

Week 1: Baseline

Measurements, photos, a movement screen and a look at how you eat and sleep. The first sessions teach the main lifts with moderate loads.

02

Week 2: Build the routine

Training days settle into a pattern you can keep. Protein and meal structure get attention before anything fancy.

03

Week 3: Add load

Weights and reps start to climb as technique holds. You begin to see which habits are helping and which are in the way.

04

Week 4: Review

Numbers are compared with week one, what worked is kept, and the plan for the next block is set.

Common mistakes this coaching fixes
  • Cutting calories so hard that muscle goes with the fat
  • Doing only cardio and skipping resistance training
  • Changing the plan every week before it has time to work

Choosing A Coach

Questions to ask Martin.

The free introduction is your chance to see whether Martin is the right fit. These are good questions to bring for body recomposition coaching, and any coach worth hiring will answer them plainly.

  • How will you measure progress besides the scale?
  • How do you set protein and calorie targets, and how often do they change?
  • What does a plateau look like and how do you respond to one?
  • How many sessions a week do you recommend for my schedule?
  • What nutrition help is included and what costs extra?

Do I need to count calories?

Not always. Some people do well with counting for a while, others with portion habits and protein targets. Your coach picks the lightest method that still gets results for you.
