Meet Ella! She’s a personal trainer, online coach, mentor and fitness competitor who aims to inspire and empower women.
Ella has undertaken many changes on her road to becoming a fitness competitor. She was once a 20 a day cigarette smoker, binge drinker, and emotional eater… but that all changed when she discovered weight training and learning about nutrition.
Ella is also an advocate for flexible dieting and enjoys allowing her favourite gelato into her diet fairly regularly.
Hey guys I’m Ella Martyn WBFF Fitness Pro and Online Fitness Coach.
I have been in the fitness industry professionally now coming up to 7 years, originally starting as a PT before moving to an online coaching business.
I’ve competed in Body Building for the last 4-5 years recently turning pro with the WBFF ‘Pro Fitness Model’.
My online business is in coaching women with training, nutrition and mindset to achieve their body composition goals but what gets my juices flowing is the positive impact I can have on these women and their lives that sees them thrive in other areas!
I’m about education and providing the tools and knowledge for my clients to succeed long term with their goals and navigate their way through the fitness industry and all the misinformation out there on training and nutrition.
I’ve been a part of the Bulk Family for 2 years now and prior to this was a long time customer.
I love the brand and the products and hope that you enjoy some of my favourite products and recommendations.
My Bulk Nutrients recommendations are all products I use daily and can be easily added to your supplement stack!
Why I love it: It's part of my daily routine for recovery. Capsules make it easy to travel with too.
How I use it: Every night before bed.
Why I love it: A great high protein Sunday breakfast.
How I use it: With PB in between the layers, topped with banana or mango and maple syrup – yum!
Why I love it: It helps with my focus both in the gym and at work.
How I use it: First thing in the morning.
Why I love it: The best-researched supplement out there, you can't go wrong with it, great for building muscle, strength and energy production.
How I use it: First thing in the morning in water with some L Tyrosine.
I track my macros and follow a flexible dieting approach. No foods are off-limits. A certain amount of fruit, veggies and fibre are in my diet daily, once this quota is hit I can add in a little chocolate or ice cream if it works with my macros.
Protein, fruit, veggies and whole grains make up the bulk of my diet but I never restrict myself to foods, I eat out and enjoy social occasions by using this balanced approach to nutrition.
What is my average daily calorie intake? 2,100-2,500 calories
Foods I crave... I am a big chocolate lover, there is chocolate in my diet every day, even during comp prep.
My ultimate cheat meal is... I don’t do cheat meals. Nothing good comes from the word cheat. If you have a sensible approach to your diet you never need to 'cheat' on it.
My week usually looks the same with some modifications to dinner and a different meal at lunch.
Finish off the day with my bed time routine of Bulk Nutrients...
My current training schedule has me training 4-5 days a week with compound lifts and an upper/lower split. I like to keep 2 full rest days a week and around 10k steps daily for general health.
An example of a lower-body session might look like this...
Do you have any medium/long term goals you're working towards?
As I just turned Pro in October 2019, my next goal is to compete at the October 2020 Pro/Am show in Gold Coast and win Ms Fitness Australia crown.
Have you had any exceptional results (in competitions or otherwise) in the last few years? Let us know what they are!
