Meet David Martin | Fitness & Wellness

We had the good fortune of connecting with David Martin and we’ve shared our conversation below.

Hi David, can you talk to us a bit about the social impact of your business?
My main purpose is to help people to reach their goals and get them to improve everyday. This is not just fitness or how they look, It’s to find the balance between mental and physical health so people can be confident with themselves and being able to enjoy the process of life.

Let’s talk shop? Tell us more about your career, what can you share with our community?
I consider myself a fitness connoisseur, I am involved in anything related to fitness, health and wellness of others. I truly love what I do, it makes me feel good inside knowing I am helping others achieve there goals, and pushing them to be there very best so they can see the results they deserve.

I work in a very professional manner, I always make sure my clients feel comfortable wether they are beginners or advance. I don’t let them feel pressured. With my fitness skills I know that they will indeed achieve there goals with the right timing, push, and reassurance that they need to get there. We are all created differently therefore we all need focus in different areas, what may work for one person doesn’t necessarily mean it will work for another, that’s where my expertise take place….I know what is needed to help each one individually achieve what is needed for there body, and most importantly to keep my clients HAPPY.

I am originally from Madrid, Spain. It definitely wasn’t an easy step to leave my country, we are very family oriented so you can imagine how hard it was leaving behind family and close friends, But I do believe dreams come true and you should follow your dreams. I have always dreamt to work in the United States especially in the fitness industry. Therefore I have chosen to follow my heart and fulfill one of my dreams, which was to grow in what I am most passionate about “FITNESS” and to do that here in the United States.

We all face challenges in life, so I will start off by saying I am naturally a strong human being mentally, I believe we can all overcome our inner challenges, some of us perhaps need more time than others, but we are all capable of it….In my case I was also lucky enough to have met a selfless girl that is my girlfriend currently. She even loves fitness as much as I do, and she has been there for me since the first day we met. She loves me for me, and always made me feel like family considering I am so far away from mine. She is the person I turn to, and the one who guides me in the right direction whenever I am facing inner challenges.

We learn many lessons in life as we get older of course, one that I have personally learned was “never take family time for granted”. I always believed hopping on a plane was so easy and I can do it anytime or any day if needed to see my family for whatever reason, so it wasn’t such a big deal to live cross country right? Then covid hit, it showed me how much I truly miss my family, and perhaps I should have cherished little moments with them a bit more, When lockdown happened I’ve lost important special moments with them, In order to fulfill my dream.

I will end by saying I want the world to know, that you should always fight for what you love, I believe when you truly want to achieve something badly 99% of the time you will. Never let others bring you down, you are created strong enough not only physically but also mentally to achieve your GOALS and DREAMS.

Any places to eat or things to do that you can share with our readers? If they have a friend visiting town, what are some spots they could take them to?
There are so many amazing places to see and visit in Miami, FL. I would do my very best to show, explore, and share as much as I can with friends and loved ones.

I will answer one specific place that I personally love so therefore that would have to be my very first choice …. THE BEACH! I am a water person, and the sun makes me feel happy. As far as food, I would take them to one of my favorite restaurants in Miami Beach “CECCONIS” in SOHO HOUSE.

Lincoln road definitely would have to be a place to show them, not only is it a Miami classic, but the people watching there is very fun, it is also exciting to see so many different types of people that walk along the strip.

Lastly what kind of person would I be if I didn’t make them check out “THE GYM” ….even on vacation its important to stay FIT.

The Shoutout series is all about recognizing that our success and where we are in life is at least somewhat thanks to the efforts, support, mentorship, love and encouragement of others. So is there someone that you want to dedicate your shoutout to?
Sure there is! Her name is Sarah Eliav. It’s true I made a huge step forward when I decided to come to USA. Once I was here I met this person who believed in me from the beginning and pushed me to do my best and helped me to improve and adapt to the mentality of this country.
