I have sought out Nordic skate ski instruction from Martin multiple years in a row. I was first introduced to him when he was coaching the Sugar Bowl Academy Nordic team. He is absolutely the best instructor I have had and my skate skiing skills have improved tremendously since working with him. He provides a framework for progression, breaks down various skills in such a way to solidify that motion in the muscle memory, then helps put it all together. And he makes it fun! While I am not a competitive athlete, I am tempted to work with him year round on a program, as it would improve my overall fitness so that I can be in top shape for every sport I do. I highly recommend MVB Coaching!

“Working with Martin over this last year has made a huge difference in my confidence, efficiency, and technique. His training plans have helped me find a workable, sustainable routine that has allowed me to balance training well with the rest of my life.”

“Martin's coaching completely transformed my ski technique and abilities. He possesses an exceptional ability to perceive an athlete's needs and quickly formulate a progression that leads to immense improvement. I appreciate his passion for coaching and his constant deliberation on how to best help his clients.”

I've been working with Martin for both a training plan and one-on-one instruction sessions for XC skiing. He's always been attentive and knowledgeable. I appreciate his attention to detail and recommend his coaching expertise.

In coaching me, Martin emphasized the basics. This was what I needed and it has made a difference in both my skating and classic skiing. The workout schedule that he provided included strength and balance routines in addition to on-snow training. The workouts on snow were creative and kept me motivated throughout the season. Plus, he's just a joy to work with!

“Martin has provided the structure, motivation, and coaching I've needed to hit my fitness goals. From gym workouts to training runs to cross-country skiing, his support has been invaluable.”

Martin of MVB Coaching is great! I hired Martin to help me learn how to classic cross country ski and he had me going and feeling confident by the end of the first lesson. I hope to hire him again as I progress with the sport.

“Martin is a great lifting coach - he tailors workouts based on what his athlete needs, their schedule, and goals.”
