CPT, USAW, PN1, CFSC
Chris “Cmar” Martin is the Founder, CEO and Head Coach at Boston Barbell. Cmar made his commercial personal training debut with the luxury Lifetime Fitness brand in 2018, and in 2019 became the single highest revenue trainer in the company’s 100,000+ trainer history.
In 2020, at the outset of the complete collapse of the fitness industry, Martin began training his lifters in a ramshackle garage beyond a Waltham, MA apartment complex. Just months later, he leased an unmarked warehouse in Billerica, MA — the now home of Boston Barbell. In his short tenure leading the Boston Barbell team, he has trained professional athletes, Olympians, national champions and in his first year of eligibility, has trained eight USAPL athletes to their first National Championship
