Client Reviews
Patrick (CoachUp client)
Coach Marty is working diligently with my 17 year old son, who has been running since middle school. He's able to fill in the holes and bridge the gap to help get my son work towards achieving the goals he set and the next level. Coach Marty is flexible and able to ask the right questions to get my boy reflect on the recent races and what actions could help him perform better. I highly recommend him.
Joseph (CoachUp client)
Coach Marty is knowledgeable about running and understanding challenges for our grade school runner. He is approachable and available for guidance. We really appreciate how he explains and communicates up front about safety and is open to discussing our concerns. Thank You

Judy (CoachUp client)
We booked an in-person session with coach Marty for my 14 year old granddaughter. She ran and trained but just could not improve her time. After our first session with coach Marty we knew we had made the right decision. He was helpful and flexible to help make our session possible. You can tell by talking with him that he is very knowledgeable and passionate about running and coaching. He took his time to learn what Gracie's goals were before developing a easy to follow weekly training plan. She loves her weekly plans and says they are never dull. I would highly recommend coach Marty. He is a fantastic coach and an amazing encourager.

Maggie (CoachUp client)
Amazing coach, really gets to know the athlete. In the short time he’s motivated my son. Marty is such a positive impact!
Landon (CoachUp client)
It has not been quite a month that Coach Marty has been working with Landon. We’ve already seen actual improvement in both his time, speed and endurance. I think the best part of this has been an attitude change in Landon . Not that he had a bad attitude .He has a much more confident and relaxed atmosphere , about being able to accomplish his goals . I would recommend coach Marty to anyone , to help improve their performance in their favorite sport, running and endurance being a big part of most sports.
Carlos (CoachUp client)
Great coach. He is thorough with what he does and is ready to train and explain all of the training process. Will definitely follow up training in the near future.
The Running Sensei. T--- (Testimonial)
July 2024 Sometimes joining a group simply isn’t enough. Sure you can get motivated and accountable fitness partners but will you actually follow through and properly train without direct guidance? If you’re looking for a great coach, please consider contacting Marty Baker! We ran D1 together at ECU arghhh! He is a proven leader who actually practices what he preaches. He is patient yet a great motivator! He is a Nationally Certified Running Coach who has coached and trained beginners to advanced athletes.
M. T. 12-31-2023 (Testimonial)
Chance came to us wanting to up his running game. As non-runners, we weren’t sure how to support Chance in this. I searched the internet and found Marty. Marty has had a positive influence on Chance’s running! Want to up your game? Reach out to Marty Baker!
Tim G. 1-15-2023 (Testimonial)
Many of you may know lots about training and many of you may not. Regardless, most of the time you need guidance and accountability to move “up” to the next level. Please join us in group runs for safety and accountability but also consider a coach like Marty Baker! Marty was one of my teammates when we ran for ECU. I know firsthand that he has an incredible work ethic and is passionate about people and is loyal to his friends and causes.
H R (Testimonial)
Marty is a great coach. He is very motivating, encouraging, and closely monitors his athletes' performance and will adjust the training schedule due to work, family obligations, illness/injury and other obstacles in life. Within a 6-month period, I went from running a 4:25 Marathon to a 3:58 Marathon. His training plans are easy to follow and are made just for me. He showed me how to adjust my GPS watch to capture interval target splits during speed workouts which he analyzed closely.
