What matters most to us is what our members think of us, and so this month we shine the spotlight on Martin for his views on Amovida and what being a member is like to him.
Martin’s story:
He joined us around 14 months ago with a class membership and he dipped into a mix of sessions, finding value in variety and consistency rather than sticking to a single path.
By late 2024, years of hip pain could no longer be ignored, and in November he underwent a hip replacement. In January, he started personal training with Ally, focusing first on rebuilding strength and mobility around his new hip. Together they worked not just on the hip itself, but also on the compensations built up from years of moving in pain. He has blended personal training with classes when his schedule allows, always mindful of what to avoid but never shying away from what he can do.
His persistence has paid off: not even a year on from surgery, Martin is stronger than ever. Today, he’s back to enjoying the things that make life meaningful - cycling, walking with his wife, and joining in with the Amovida community.
His story is a reminder that progress isn’t about quick wins but about patience, persistence, and showing up even when it’s hard. We are so proud of Martin’s journey and delighted to see him back to doing what he loves and thriving in our classes!
