We know first-hand how frustrating it can be to follow extreme fad diets, unsustainable training regimens and overly restricted lifestyle and yet get little to no results. We know how intimidating it may be stepping back into the gym, not know what to do or how to eat to look and feel your best. We know that finding a personal trainer or online coach that is the right fit for you can be very time consuming and confusing.
With so much information out there, it can be overwhelming to figure out what to do to build muscle. You second-guess yourself with every training plan you choose to follow. No matter what training plan or muscle building diet you follow, you have a very little to show for it. You spend hours at the gym yet the results are not what you hoped for.
You've tried every diet you could think of and got little to no results. No matter what new diet you start, it doesn't seem to work for you or you find it unsustainable long-term. Losing weight for good seems unachievable. High stress makes you crave processed and unhealthy food. After you eat it, you feel bad and upset with yourself, which makes you stressed even more.
Martin's holistic approach to strength and fitness are fantastic. I've gone from really limited movements to full movement including a return to running! I have been training with Martin ever since and I am thrilled to say he has restored my hand strength to normal and has increased my overall strength in my entire body.
That combines the benefits of in-person training with online coaching to deliver the fastest results possible. Each of your workouts will be carefully designed and instructed by your trainer to maximize the strength training benefits. In-person training sessions are extremely satisfying as you can feel the energy between you and your trainer.

I have been working with Charlotte for 6 months and the experience has been life changing. When I started, I was mostly sedentary, unhappy with how I looked, and not confident enough to go to the gym or to make the changes in myself that I wanted to make. Thanks to Charlotte's coaching, positive attitude, motivation, and help with accountability, I am now much more confident in my body, how it looks, and how I feel in it. I look toned and fit. I have more energy and I'm sleeping better at night. Charlotte has also helped me feel "at home" in the gym, which was a really intimidating place before

Martin was able to help me loose approximately 20 lbs over 3 months of coaching. I learned of the importance of accounting for my calorific intake as is relates to my daily expenditures, and also the importance of the micronutrient profiles of the food I was eating. I also learned a great deal in terms of technique, when it comes to weight lifting. With a focus on proper form, correct preparation, and joint mobility I was able to make great advances in the weight room, and am able to really enjoy working out without injuries or undue strain. I would highly recommend Martin as a trainer, as he is

Martin helped me transform my body from weak and broken to strong and resilient, a journey that I've begun 10 times in the past 15 years, but never managed to complete do to injury. His common sense approach and holistic framing of health was a breath of fresh air. I am living a lower stress life, on more sleep, fuelled by healthier foods, and capable of enjoying physical activities - Incredible. Thanks Martin!

I’ve been working with an amazing coach, Charlotte for almost a year and it has been such a blessing in my life. She has been there for me to support so many aspects of my life. From diet to workouts and simple changes in my lifestyle.
The app we use has been so helpful. The workouts Charlotte develops in the app is so easy to follow and posts personal bests which goes a long way. When you go through workouts you don’t always realize that you are making progress so this app helps show you this!

Martin has been a terrific help to me in the past few months. He has helped set me on a path that has helped me lose weight and gain fitness, and he's done it in a way that I know will be sustainable into the future. He is an excellent source of fitness knowledge and can help anybody with their fitness and weight loss goals.

I highly recommend Martin and Charlotte of Iron Lab. I am a retired teacher who, in February 2021, found myself hardly able to move about without pain. I decided to contact , Martin, my personal trainer from a number of years ago before I moved out of town. Well, we had a Zoom call and then Martin and Charlotte, working on-line with me immediately set me up with a program and approach that works for me. My body and I thank them all the time as doing activities no longer results in pain and soreness. Both Martin and Charlotte are knowledgeable and flexible in their approach with me, which I appreciate

I cannot understate how big of an impact Iron Lab has made on my life. In just three months I have lost a lot of weight and gained a lot of strength, but most importantly I feel fantastic.
In the past my attempts to get into shape were always hampered by feeling overwhelmed with different training regimens and conflicting information I found online. I worried that maybe I just didn't 'get' fitness.
With the COVID-19 pandemic and the closure of gyms, the prospect of getting into shape felt even more daunting to me then ever before. But then I reached out to Iron Lab. Between virtual training sessions

I recently participated in a 60 day challenge and was absolutely amazed by the experience. I’ve done a few challenges in my time but what made this different was how it catered and fit within my daily routine. I felt motivated and could easily follow the program created. My coach Charlotte Kapitza was always available a click away if I needed and… the support she gave through my 60 day journey was outstanding. With dedication and hard work I not only came out lighter but much stronger at the end of the challenge. I would recommend IRON LAB Strength & Conditioning over and over

I've been working with Martin for 18 weeks now, and I honestly couldn't recommend a better trainer to help someone like myself who is looking to transition to a healthy lifestyle. Right from our first discussion about my goal of being a pain free and healthy person for the rest of my life, his philosophy and expertise on how to get there was so… reasonable, I felt like I had found someone with the knowledge and skills to get me to the promised land. A bit about me: I'm middle aged overweight guy with a history of major hip, low back, elbow, feet, and shoulder injuries. Every couple years

I've worked with Charlotte for one on one training, and recently completed the 60-day challenge and it was awesome! Great way to re-start my commitment after taking a break from the gym due to COVID. I was able to learn how to workout from home efficiently, and with minimal equipment. Charlotte knows how to get results, was able to personalize the approach based on my needs / abilities / previous injuries, and is very targeted in her workout plans. This program exceeded my expectations in terms of what I could achieve in 60 days. Highly Recommend!

I've trained with Martin for over seven years. He's hands down the best trainer I've worked with! He's got a wealth of knowledge on training, nutrition, and optimizing your overall health.
I've seen amazing results over the years and continually learn more from Martin. The best part about training with him is that he sets you up for life-long success by teaching you the skills needed to reach your goal.
It's rare to find trainers that are truly invested in seeing clients achieve their goals. Martin checks all the boxes - he's passionate about fitness, has a practical/holistic approach, and takes

Martin is a great coach and trainer, and an all-around awesome guy!
I had the pleasure of working with Martin (as a fellow independent personal trainer) for a few months out of Club 16 and I enjoyed seeing him every day so upbeat and enthusiastic about working with his clients and training towards his own personal fitness goals. He's definitely a… trainer who practices what he preaches. He was one of the only other trainers who I saw on a daily basis training hard with clients and towards their own fitness goals in the gym...
Safe to say, if you're considering working with Martin/IRON Lab

Martin is by far and away one of the best personal trainers in Vancouver. When you combine his knowledge with his personality, you're not only going to accomplish your goals, but you're going to love every minute of your session with him. If you're looking for a personal trainer, look no further than Martin and Iron Lab Strength and Conditioning.
