Life Changing Experience

I worked with Martyn for several months and gave nothing, but great things to say about his coaching. He was supportive, provided the accountability I needed and was super approachable. I lost over a 100lbs and built a physique I was proud of. Due to my time with Martyn, I learned a great deal about what my body needs to be healthy, strong and full of life. I trust very few people, but Martyn is one of the good ones who earned my trust.

Very poor

Me and my wife completed the contractual 4 months of the plan. Even though we didn't complete the actual exercise plan due to other commitments, we still paid for us both for the 4 months. Since then we have sent several WhatsApps and emails to cancel the programme and had no response. They have seen our messages as the WhatsApp messages turn blue once viewed, so I wouldn't recommend this programme as the customer service is non existent. Very poor

Hey Steve.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback—I really appreciate it.

Just to clarify, as mentioned in the terms and conditions when you signed up, all communication, including cancellations, needs to go through the platform. All communications regarding coaching have been through the platform always, this keeps everything organized since it’s a direct 1-to-1 service with me. I noticed you mentioned that you tried contacting me via WhatsApp, but I don’t handle coaching matters there, and very few people have my number, so I’m not sure how that happened.

I’m really sorry to hear you had a bad experience—that’s definitely not what I want for anyone I work with. If you ever decide to come back, you’re more than welcome to re-apply on the website. I’d even be happy to offer you a discount to make up for any inconvenience.

Thanks again for your feedback, and I wish you all the best going forward!

Take care,
Martyn

Hey Adrian.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback—I really appreciate it.

Its not entirely clear what you mean in your feedback, feel free to elaborate on this.

I also don't offer 1 year subscription. All coaching has a minimum of 4 months minimum commitment (unless agreed otherwise) then it rolls on month by month until you write to me (via the platform we used for coaching together) to cancel. Then it is a calender months notice. You signed and agreed to these terms when you started with me also. I do not sell 12 months subscriptions. I can see that you wrote me to cancel via email and I then cancelled the same month, despite the calender months notice, as a good will gesture.

Very poor

Very poor , just basic plans ,which are available on the net. Furthermore they are very cunning. I have asked for few months that i want to cancel. There has been no response to either cancel it or even inform me how to cancel. There are considerably cheaper and genuine options available. I've never written a bad review for any business. However this surely has been a very poor experience.
Stay away from these kind of people

Hey Mohammed.

Thanks for reaching out and sharing your feedback

What you have written here is quite concerning, especially as you never raised this with me directly in the chat. I always ask for feedback with plans and to ensure we work closely together to fine tune things until its perfect. It always takes me a bit of time to figure out what you need and for you to get to learn my coaching style. This is what makes my coaching so personal. Interesting that you didn't tell me you felt it was generic during the coaching period but then rate me 1 star afterwards. Pretty upsetting for me as I care deeply about my clients. I also just check and cannot see that you wrote me in the coaching platform to cancel either. If you’re hesitant to reach out to me directly, even though this is a personalized coaching experience with me, it makes it hard for me to give you the support you need.

I’m really sorry to hear you had a bad experience—that’s definitely not what I want for anyone I work with. If you ever decide to come back, you’re more than welcome to re-apply on the website. I’d even be happy to offer you a discount to make up for any inconvenience.

Also, 'they are very cunning' and stay away from 'these kind of people'...not very nice but also there are no people, its just me and I'm working hard to run a good business. Sorry you feel a bad review was necessary vs a direct chat with me.

Thanks again for your feedback, and I wish you all the best going forward!

No Bull@*#? review! The truth about this program 💪🏼

Well I’ve been with Martyn Ford’s program now for a while and I can say that I’ve been loving it. When I first started I was a bit lazy so I didn’t push as much as I should have, but the moment I got serious I started to see results. Please don’t forget this process takes time. Don’t expect to work out for a week and wake up a week after covered in muscles! Start the program and stick to it cause it works. I don’t understand some of the reviews I’ve read on this. It’s doesn’t matter if your in the UK, US or anywhere in the world, Martyn treats everyone with respect ✊🏼
So in the end, what you put in you get out, it’s really worth it. Food is great, exercises are good and challenging and Martyn is epic (don’t forget he is a real person who also has a real life) communication between us has been great.
What else can I say 🤔 if you start then push yourself, give it all that you can and you will see the difference 💪🏼

Hey Dante,

Thanks for the awesome feedback my friend. I appreciate that a lot and truly care about the people I work with very much, I do this coaching because it means something to me, I work with an extremely small handful of dedicated people and don't do this to just push out fame or money. So this review means a lot.

You are welcome back anytime and as a returning client I would be happy to offer you a special rate too.

Hope you are well

Worst of the worst Customer Service!!

So I send lots of emails for 7 months in a row, from the moment I started the program I’m trying to cancel my subscription because I had an injury.

Customer Service or whatever they have won’t even respond to any of my emails in the last 7 months!! when I send a text message; They are saying I’m not represented Martyn Ford anymore.

This is really bad!
Is there any other option to get in contact with them or at least respond to any of my emails!

This is really ridiculous and absurd!

Since he is in England, he only spends time coaching English people.He secretly makes jokes about American clients...He was mad about people commenting here telling the truth. He reported my comment hoping this platform hide and delete it here, i have documentation showing that, he was unsuccessful. His coaching is not a top quality program either. Find another coach, there are HUNDRED thousands better than him.

Reply from Martynfordcoaching

Hi Robert,

Thanks for sharing your feedback. I did attempt to address your review, as it accuses me of “making jokes about American clients.” This claim is not only false but also damaging to my character and reputation. I’ve never received feedback like this before, nor have you ever raised this as a concern directly with me or via the coaching platform.

While I’m open to constructive feedback, even if it results in a 1-star review, comments like these—without evidence or justification—are both unfair and hurtful. They negatively impact my brand, and I don’t believe they accurately reflect who I am or how I work with clients.

If this review helped you express your feelings, then I respect that. However, I want to reiterate that I’ve never been approached with such feedback, and it deeply affects me to read these words when they don’t align with my values or actions.

I wish you all the best moving forward, and I’m truly sorry if I ever gave you the impression that I don’t respect or value my clients.

Take care,
Martyn

App has bugs

App has bugs, not user friendly. My friend warned me that he recommends unorganic food and pills that hurt and disable kidney in the long run. then he probably gets money from those companies with the expense of the client’s health. Lucky that I didn’t continue using the app.

Hi Arman,

Thank you for sharing your thoughts. I’m sorry to hear you had concerns about the app and its usability. We’re always working on updates to improve user experience, and your feedback will help us prioritize what to focus on.

However, I’d like to address the other points in your review. The claim about your friend saying I am recommending “unorganic food” and pills that harm kidneys is not only untrue but also deeply concerning. I take the health and safety of every client seriously, and my recommendations are always evidence-based, focusing on the individual’s well-being. You haven't shared the name of your friend or whether they coached with me or even the advice your friend felt they were given that was harmful so hard for me to reply to be honest.

I also want to assure you that I do not have any affiliations with companies to promote products for personal gain. Transparency and integrity are at the core of what I do, and I’m sorry if there’s been any misunderstanding that led to this impression.

If you’d like to discuss your concerns further (or should I say the concerns of your friend) or share more details about your experience, I’d be happy to hear from you directly. My goal is to ensure every client feels supported and confident in the service we provide.

Wishing you the best,
- Martyn

Hi Eric,

I’m sorry to see such a negative review, and I want to address your concerns. While I respect everyone’s right to share their opinion, I must clarify that your comments about me being a “fake muscle showman” and making assumptions about the use of hormones or injections are entirely baseless and untrue.

I take pride in my work and in providing genuine, personalised coaching to help people achieve their goals. It’s disappointing to see such accusations without any evidence, as they not only misrepresent me but also undermine the hard work I’ve dedicated to building this platform. This is actually offensive and a personal attack but I hope it helped you get your feedback across in a way that makes you feel happy and complete.

If you had a specific issue with the app or service, I would have welcomed constructive feedback via the app or email however I haven't ever heard this feedback from you until now... I am always open to improving and learning from user experiences. However, reviews like this, filled with personal attacks, don’t help anyone and detract from honest discussions.

I wish you the best and hope you find a service that better aligns with your expectations.

Take care,
- Martyn

No value for money

To begin with, engaging, seemed interested and would be in contact a few times a week.
No video calls, phone calls, live conversations or anything other than a standard generic video of particular exercises. The diet plans were OK but complex for someone who isn't too skilled in the kitchen.
After 2 months I noticed a pattern, no longer was I receiving messages regularly, I had no motivation or structured support and literally went solo. I am skeptical whether it was even Martyn that I was dealing with, the messages got less and less to the point I thought what am I paying for?!
The start of the process was useful to get me going but if I'm being honest I feel like I wasted my money the last couple of months and have since canceled.
I would recommend a more hands on coach that you can have real conversations with, one that makes time for you whenever you need them and one that's more value for money

Hi there,

Firstly I would like to say I am very sorry for the experience you have had with my coaching programme. I can assure you it is me and you will have seen this from the multiple personal videos messages I sent, I used your name on purpose so it didn't seem generic. I do reach out to all of my clients to ensure they feel they get the very best from me and my coaching. If you had any feedback from the plans and coaching you were given there is always the chance to chat and discuss with me directly through the app. It is working together closely but online and so it cant be perfect right away it takes time to get to know you and how your body reacts.

Once again I'm truly sad that you feel you didn't get the best but I am always here to support so if you do ever decide to return please know that all it takes is a message to let me know and ill be happy to adjust plans accordingly. Its what I'm here for for my clients.

Many thanks and best of luck on your journey

Want to smash some goals?! Join Martyn!

What can I say about training with Martyn, it’s everything I needed and more! I was a little unsure whether he’d be able to devote the time and support needed due to his own work and training commitments. Martyn has been superb, put together an amazing nutrition and training plan that has reignited the fire in my training and also makes it so easy nutritionally with such a varied nutrition plan, it’s not a diet, it’s a plan for a change in lifestyle. Martyn had also answered all my questions and comes back to you quickly and you get that personal service that you need.
If you’re serious about achieving goals, pushing your limits then reach out to Martyn, you won’t regret it and you’ll smash every goal if you stick to the plan.
