As a personal trainer, I knew I needed someone to push me past my limits, and Lamont continues to push me every time we train. His training and guidance has transformed my body completely, and I've grown so much mentally past the barriers I've put for myself. He definitely is the trainers trainer. I knew my training needed to be kicked up. After our first session, I found what I needed. If you're looking for someone to never let you slack, always encourage you, and push you past any limits you thought you once had. Don't sleep on Lamont! read more

Watch out for this trainer! He's nice when you first meet him, but the next day he's a different person! Here's my story, I meet Lamont Martin the other day. We had a great conversation and I had a good connection. So we scheduled a appointment the next day to do a trial work out. I got the text today and he ask me how am I going to pay him. I told him it was my Shabbat day (no selling or buying for me today), i told him if it work out today meaning if I like our training today then no problem I will pay him the next time we meet. I thought first meeting was always a free trial. I also ask him about their first 7 days free and $100 off a package deal. He text me back 4 different points. Giving the short version, that he's a elite trainer, he lower his price for me so I can reach my goal, he's time is precious, that he will instead have me go with another trainer and lastly don't come in for my appointment. I was quite surprised at this response. Even though he says he's not about the money, clearly it was and he's heart was not to help me reach my training goals. I wish him the best and hope anyone reading this, it helps you! read more

So I've been into weight training for atleast 15 years since high school. Last couple of years have been very difficult staying motivated after a long day of work. Always looking for excuses not too go. I honestly didn't think I had it in me anymore. Luckily had a friend refer me too Lamont! Let me tell you this guy has been the fire I needed to get motivated back in the gym. This man puts me too WORK!! Pushes me harder I've ever pushed before I haven't broke a sweat this much at a training session before. Every single is like he set goals and objectives it's incredible. I have found the love of ltraining hard again and I recommend Lamont to everyone no matter what your goals he will make sure he'll get you there. read more

There's those that live it and those that just talk. Lamont lives it, breathes it, and eats it! I started my fitness journey March 2018 and that's when I met Lamont. I've had multiple back surgeries yet he was still able to help jump start my fitness. This is a man that cares about his clients and how fitness can impact every aspect of their life. Go to him, learn from him, it will be the best fitness and over all positive life decision you will make. read more

If I can give him 0 stars I would. At first he comes off as a nice guy who is interested in helping you out. Then he starts making excuses of why he can't make the training session, his favorite "a client tested positive for Covid". He was there physically to train me but I can always tell his mind was elsewhere. I was paying for one on one sessions but yet I was always paired or grouped with others. I never got a solo work out in. Once I started catching on to his excuses I knew I had to leave. I unfortunately had paid him a month in advance and then got into some car trouble. Told him I wasn't going to make it in for a couple of weeks due to my issue, keep in mind I was driving 45+ mins to get a session in. He then said I can drive to you and I already knew it was BS. He didn't have time for me that I drove to him, I sure knew he wasn't going to come to me and more excuses would come up to prolong the inevitable. He makes it's seem like it's a you problem that can't make it and won't take accountability for his "professionalism". I feel like he has no interest in training people who what to loose weight or gain muscle. His interests are pro Athletes that do shows. I did kindly ask for a refund but ghosted me after that. Then after a few months of not speaking to him, he involved me to get himself out of a paid 6+ months contract of thousands of dollars in which I don't understand why my name was brought up when I had not been speaking to him for over 6 months. His clients are getting ripped off left and right so I recommend NOT TO TRAIN with him. He was always talking sh*t of other people in the gym and trainers and how they worked. He has burned so many bridges jumping from gym to gym. I really do hope karma gets him because he deserves everything that's coming to him. The fact that he was showing so many RED FLAGS and I didn't see them until the last month I was with him. I always try to see the good im people but this guy is just something else. He takes advantage of people and was always lying. Please don't let him trick you into working with him. read more

Monsta Fitness, owned by Lamont Martin, caters to people who are serious about working out and have well-defined goals, but if you're unsure, Mr Martin can help in that regard. Don't expect to be chatting and having fun while Mr Martin is training you. You will NOT have any breath to be talking about the latte you had this morning. If you're looking to chill while you work out and therefore have no results to show, then Monsta Fitness is not for you. This is not the kids' sandbox. Why do you think it's called "Monsta" Fitness? But when you see the results, you'll come back for more punishment. After a couple of years, I'm STILL doing that. Good times. read more

LAMONT IS THE BEST TRAINER I'VE EVER HAD.I am a probation officer and I am in the Army Reserves. I have been training with Lamont for almost a year now. I did not get real consistent with him until about October last year. When I was able to stay consistent and he saw how dedicated I was to my goals, he did not let up. When I did not think I could not push myself anymore in my session, he helped me push for that little extra I had left. He's in tune with his clients and tailor the sessions for each individual. He is always there to listen as well. HOWEVER, don't expect to just chat the whole way through. YOU WILL BE OUT OF BREATH! He's helped me pass my PT Test and my body has transformed so much in the matter of months. I RECOMMEND LAMONT TO EVERYONE! read more
