Long Island Speed & Strength

He was fully invested in learning as much as he could about the athlete’s individual needs and in making sure they got the proper training.  I first met Martin when I was the head coach of a womens’ swim team and in need of a trainer. Martin took the time to sit with me and go over the various types of training we would need in the gym relative to each athlete’s stroke and distance they swam. He was fully invested in learning as much as he could about the athlete’s individual needs and in making sure they got the proper training. The team very quickly believed in him and in the program he designed for them. I believe Martin was a key factor in the overall success of our team that year.

She looked forward to every session and knew he was helping her become stronger, better swimmer. My daughter is a competitive swimmer and was in need of a trainer while in high school to help strengthen some weaknesses and instabilities. I brought her to Martin and he was awesome. She looked forward to every session and knew he was helping her to become a stronger, better swimmer. He figured out exactly what she needed as an athlete and was strong, but kind and helped to build her self confidence. She is now on scholarship for swimming at the collegiate level and she still tells me that Martin was the best trainer she ever worked with. There is no one else we would recommend as a trainer to any swimmers out there!

With Martin there was no wasted time or energy. All lateral and burst movement training was actually broken down for my position on the field as an attackmen. Because of Martin’s knowledge of lacrosse, the shooting drills incorporated into footwork and speed burst training were the best I’ve ever done. I can directly attribute a lot of his training to my success as a player. Long Island Speed and Strength Training helped prepare me to become a High School and College All American, and be selected as a member of the Gold medal winning US U-19 National lacrosse team last summer.

MAKE SURE YOU CAME HERE WANTING TO WORK HARD BEFORE SHOWING UP. Martin was my speed and fitness trainer at LIU Post and I can honestly say there was not one workout where I did not come out exhausted. He pushes you, his training is a continuous workout with no breaks. He makes sure you start and finish strong. Not only a great trainer, but a great guy to have by your training goals every step of the way.

MARTIN HAS WORKED WITH MY COLLEGE SOCCER PLAYERS FOR SEVEN YEARS NOW. HIS ATTENTION TO DETAIL IS SECOND TO NONE. He was able to give each player an individualized workout that challenged them and pushed them to access their full potential. Martin did a great job of addressing the player’s needs and make changes as they progressed. He was able to focus on strength, speed and footwork through their sessions together. If someone was falling behind on a particular aspect, he met with them, on his own time, to help get them where they needed to be. Martin helped our players get to the next level.

THE BOYS ALWAYS LOOKED FORWARD TO MARTIN MONDAYS BASEBALL TEAM'S SPEED AND CONDITIONING WORKOUTS. I truly looked forward to every training session with Martin, but none more than Martin Mondays. He made our team want to put in the extra effort to be better with his motivation and positivity. He always took the time to make sure our training sessions were progressing towards our overall team and individual goals. Martin was my "go to" for everything, whether it was in the gym or on or off the field, he always gave the best advice. A major part of my success during my four years at LIU Post was due to Martin's dedication and the hard work he put in to help me improve as an athlete... Martin is an awesome person, coach and mentor. He is someone you can trust to help you accomplish your goals and reach your fullest potential as an athlete.

IF YOU TELL MARTIN YOUR GOAL ON OR OFF THE FIELD - HE WILL MAKE SURE YOU GET THERE... JUST BE PREPARED TO WORK YOUR BUTT OFF. When I first joined the DII Women's Lacrosse team at LIU Post I was overwhelmed by the speed and athleticism of the girls I was suddenly playing against. I didn't want to be "on their level" - I wanted to surpass it. Martin took that and ran with it. He tailored speed and strength training to my position and goals on the field. I could tell how much thought he put into fine tuning my strengths and exposing weaknesses that needed to be worked on... My senior year I told him I wanted to be unbeatable in a 1 v 1 so we drilled the components of this for months. By the time lacrosse season came my body was both quick and strong enough to lock out the number one attacker from scoring a single goal on me. I was named 1st All -American and Defensive Player of the Year in DII. If you tell Martin your goal on or off the field - he will make sure you get there... just be prepared to work your butt off.

MARTIN GIVES YOU THE CONFIDENCE YOU NEED TO EXCEL BY MAKING YOU PHYSICALLY AND MENTALLY STRONGER. Martin had a huge impact on my success as a college athlete. He motivates you and pushed you through speed and strength training. He gives you the confidence you need to excel by making you physically and mentally stronger.

MARTIN IS THE KEY COMPONENT TO MY INCREASE IN FITNESS. EVERY SESSION WITH HIM IS CHALLENGING IN A DIFFERENT WAY. The time that I have worked with Martin has been very rewarding and I feel that he is the key component to my increase in fitness. Every session with Martin is challenging in a different way. We’ve worked on agility, speed and strength together and I feel that I’ve improved in each category. Martin is extremely motivating and encouraging.

MARTIN'S ATHLETIC INSIGHT AND MOTIVATIONAL PERSPECTIVE WILL MAKE YOU THE ATHLETE YOU'VE DREAMED OF BECOMING. In my involvement in athletics, Martin is one of the most innovative, creative and energetic people I have met. He cares about his profession, colleagues and clients in a way that sets him apart. Beyond professional, Martin develops lasting relationships with the people he works with because he becomes an integral part of their progress and achievement. His novel approaches to enhancing speed, conditioning and strength will certainly boost your game, but his athletic insight and motivational perspective will make you the athlete you've dreamed of becoming.

MARTIN NOT ONLY MADE ME PHYSICALLY TOUGH, BUT ALSO STRIVED TO MAKE ME MENTALLY TOUGH. With the help of Martin’s sport specific training methods I was able to achieve All-American honors in both lacrosse and field hockey. Martin not only made me physically tough, but also strived to make me mentally tough. His successes not only reflected in my personal gains as a player, but also translated throughout the team as a whole.

MARTIN INSTILLED IN ME THE TRUE MEANING OF WHAT HAVING WORK ETHIC ENTAILS. Going into my freshmen year of college, I had some experience lifting and knew of its importance in relation to optimal performance on the lacrosse field. However, working with Martin and learning from him brought my knowledge to an entirely new level. During my sophomore year, I was named All-American for the first time and was voted as the National Defender of the Year. I can honestly say that those accolades would not have been possible without Martin... Not only did he teach me the basic fundamentals of working out, and the importance of footwork and agility, but he also instilled in me the true meaning of what having "work ethic" entails.

IT TOOK HEART, DEDICATION, SWEAT, PAIN, AND SOMEONE LIKE MARTIN TO PUSH ME TO MY FULLEST POTENTIAL. During my career, I was an All-American all four years, broke the school records for goals and assists, and was named Division 2 Offensive Player of the Year, my senior year. I take great pride in what I was able to achieve as an athlete. The journey was not easy, but I couldn’t ask for a better career. It took heart, dedication, sweat, pain, and someone like Martin to push me to my fullest potential. I look up to him like a father figure and could not thank him enough for everything he has done for me as an athlete and as young woman.

MARTIN PUSHED ME TO NEW LIMITS AND SHOWED ME WHAT I WAS ACTUALLY CAPABLE OF AS AN ATHLETE. Martin pushed me to new limits and showed me what I was actually capable of as an athlete. I could feel myself getting stronger and faster every year, and it helped me tremendously on the field hockey field. I can contribute a lot of my success to Martin’s dedication to me as an athlete, and his skill set as a strength and conditioning coach.

WHEN WE SEE MARTIN COMING OUT TO OUR PRACTICE WE ALL KNOW WE ARE GOING TO GET OUR BUTTS KICKED. Most people can probably say they have developed a love hate relationship with him. We all love seeing Martin, but when we see him coming out to our practice we all know we are going to get our "butts kicked". At the end of the day though we all know he does it for one thing and one thing only and that is for us to be the best of the best!

MARTIN HAS A CONTAGIOUS WORK ETHIC AND INSISTS THAT HE GETS YOUR BEST EFFORT EVERY MEETING I began my college career as someone who undervalued the benefits of strength training, but after one session with Martin, my opinion completely changed. Martin has a contagious work ethic and insists that he gets your best effort every meeting. He creates programs unique to each athlete, allowing for optimal efficiency and complete performance from everyone he works with... Each workout is more challenging than the last and Martin's motivating personality helps give you the extra nudge when you need it! I credit a great portion of my playing success to the time I spent working with Martin. He was dedicated in helping me achieve my goals and for that, I will be forever grateful!

STRENGTH TRAINING, TEAM BUILDING, AND COMMUNICATION FUNDAMENTALS THAT ULTIMATELY MADE US A CHAMPIONSHIP TEAM. Martin put me through workouts specifically geared towards my position as a midfielder and draw control specialist. At many points the workout was so hard I wanted to cry and leave, however, by going through these mentally and physically challenging workouts I thank Martin because I was named a member of the All-American team in 2006. Martin designed boot camps for our team and came up with lacrosse specific speed and agility drills... Accompanying these drills were strength training, team building, and communication fundamentals that ultimately made us a championship team.

I TRULY BELIEVE I TOOK MY GAME TO THE NEXT LEVEL BECAUSE OF MARTIN. ... within a few short months Martin's vigorous lifts and workouts helped me gain speed and strength. I truly believe I took my game to the next level because of him. Sometimes I did not always like him, but that is something he takes pride in. It's comforting to know that everything he puts us through, even though we may not enjoy it, is helping us to reach our potential as athletes. He cares so much about the wellness of our team and the clients he works with and that is something that is essential in working with a trainer.

MARTIN WAS ABLE TO PUSH ME TO LIMITS I NEVER KNEW I HAD, BOTH MENTALLY AND PHYSICALLY. Martin was a huge influence on my team and myself, throughout my college career. He was able to push me to limits I never knew I had, both mentally and physically. He prepared me so well for the challenges I would face throughout the season with the confidence to succeed. Not only did he make me a better athlete, he made me a better person.

I HIGHLY RECOMMEND MARTIN TO ANY ATHLETE WHO IS TRYING TO TAKE THEIR GAME TO THE NEXT LEVEL. Martin has been fantastic for both of my kids. His initial written diagnosis of each player's strengths and development areas after their first session was spot on. As a lacrosse coach and former player, I was extremely impressed with that. Every training session has been geared to making them more explosive athletes, as well as incorporating it into game-like lacrosse situations. His demeanor and teaching methods with our kids has been outstanding. Martin has also actually attended a few of my kids tournament games this summer, giving them real-time feedback on the sideline... I have never heard of another trainer doing that. I would highly recommend him to any athlete who is trying to take their game to the next level.

MARTIN HAS PROVEN UNDOUBTEDLY HE'S A FORCE TO BE RECKONED WITH IN THE HEALTH AND FITNESS REALM. Martin Guillet is not only a fitness trainer but an all-around specialist in the field.

Martin's training style attends to the specific needs of his clients and athletes. You're not just getting a program and a great workout, you're getting a carefully calculated and detailed routine to enhance your performance within your goal-set.

MARTIN NOT ONLY MADE ME PHYSICALLY STRONGER AND FASTER BUT, HE MADE ME MENTALLY TOUGH AS WELL. When I showed up to C.W. Post as a freshman I had never lifted a weight in my life. All I knew how to do was run and I thought that made me a good lacrosse player. It was when I met Martin that I learned that there was so much more to the game than I had ever realized and I learned that I wasn't as good of a runner as I thought I was. Martin not only made me physically stronger and faster but, he made me mentally tough as well. The best part about it, the workouts were always something new, he kept us on our toes and he is constantly researching ways for you as an individual and for the team to get better. ..Martin sugar coats nothing! He tells you like it is and then pushes you to get past your weaknesses. Martin will push you to a point where you didn't think you could physically more and he proves to you that you can. He does everything it takes for you and your team to reach its fullest potential. I truly owe all of my athletic successes to Martin and I have taken and will continue to take all of the lessons he has taught me through all aspects of my life. Martin is the by far the best motivator I have ever encountered and anyone would be truly lucky to be able to train with a trainer like Martin.

MARTIN HAS EXTREME WORK ETHIC. Working with Martin over the years has helped me reach my full potential, not only as an individual player but as a team player as well. I always dreamed about winning a national championship and becoming an all-American, with the help of Martin’s specific sport training, intense lifts, and team oriented exercises both of my dreams came true, twice. Martin has extreme work ethic. There were plenty of times during the workouts that I wanted to give up, but Martin always knew how to push me and keep me going to reach the level that he believed I could perform and strive at. Without Martin I don’t think I would have been able to reach those milestones in my lacrosse career.
