Martise is an amazing run coach. Knowledgeable, professional, and encouraging. She helped me get into shape for a half marathon and I'm genuinely so proud of how far I've come with her guidance. Not only did she help me improve my form (bye knee pain), but she also helped me dial in fueling and hydration so I felt confident on race day. She has such a great balance of pushing you while still making everything feel doable and fun. I'd recommend her in a heartbeat to anyone working toward a big running goal. And honestly, I just love our sessions; we end up yapping after and it's become something I really look forward to. Thank you Martise! read more

I had a limited amount of time before my marathon, and I came to Martise/GreenRunner for help. Martise helped me put together a game plan for success - covering nutrition, mental drills, and more. I was able to finish my first marathon! And I owe most of that to Martise. Thanks to her prep, I was able to make it out in one piece. :) I'm glad I was able to take her fundamentals class - it put me in the right frame of mind for not just success, but for "what comes after". I highly recommend taking classes with her if you're looking to take your running to the next level - especially if you find yourself lost in all the information available online. She helped me cut through all the hearsay and and get down to what I personally needed to succeed and pull through my marathon. And I'm sure she'll do the same for you! read more

Martisse is very knowledgeable and a great coach! Loved each session of the foundation package. We are looking forward to continue to work with her on my son's development to fine tune all the techniques for my him to be an even better athlete. She is a gem and we are lucky to have found her read more

I started training with Coach Martise in Los Angeles around a month ago, and honestly, after just two sessions, I've already seen pretty noticeable improvements in my weekly runs! Coach Martise is everything you'd want in a running coach: professional, super knowledgeable, and so patient. What really sets her apart, though, is how she personalizes her coaching. She really took the time to understand my goals, strengths, and most importantly, where I needed to improve. I've been into distance running for years, and I never realized how much of a difference small tweaks to my form and some simple exercises targeted at my weaknesses could make. That personal attention has made a huge difference in my progress and kept me motivated, can't wait for my upcoming half marathon next month! If you're looking for a running coach in the Los Angeles who's not only knowledgeable and motivating but also genuinely invested in helping you succeed, I can't recommend Coach Martise enough. Her passion for running and dedication to her athletes make her one of the best coaches out there! read more

I finished the Foundation Training with Martise (three 1-hour sessions) and had great experience. I came in as a complete beginner, and she explained everything so clearly, breaking down my running form and helping me understand how to improve it. I loved that she always explained why things matter, not just how to do them. Her approach made everything click and feel sustainable long-term. read more

I can't say enough good things about GreenRunner and Martise. My daughter has grown so much as a runner and as a person thanks to the thoughtful, well-rounded training. With Martise's support, my daughter was able to excel on her high school cross-country team, something that brought a lot of pride and joy to our family. What I love most is how GreenRunner goes beyond just physical training. It's about building mental resilience, confidence, and a love for the sport. If you're looking for a coach who genuinely cares about your growth, I highly recommend GreenRunner. read more

Martise is an amazing coach and totally transformed our running form and routine in just 3 sessions. 10/10 recommend! My fiancé and I signed up for a half marathon and came to Martise nursing various injuries just 11 weeks before the race. She was able to individually assess each of us, and give us some simple practices/form tips that simultaneously improved our running and helped heal our bodies. She also educated us on stretching, recovery, form, and having a proper routine. Because of her, we both completed our half marathons feeling healthy and confident. We also have routines and practices we will use the rest of our lives. Encourage anyone trying to improve their running and their health to get some coaching from her! read more

GreenRunner - Trainers Near Me

I came across Martise's info when search trainers that specialized in helping law enforcement pass the PAT. I needed to speed up my time as I had failed my PAT. I spent 3 weeks with Martise and she changed the way I ran, and also provided mental training as well which was so important for me! I just re tested today and passed and I know that was because of the time I spent with her. She is great and you will not regret it ! read more

Martise and her Green Runner program helped my son prepare for a 5 mile run. Martise is very knowledgeable and is able to communicate her expertise most effectively. Her assessment was thorough, her recommendations helpful and her training program concise- all stress relieving given our busy schedule. We will probably use her to achieve future goals and I highly recommend for anyone looking to become a better runner. read more

Coach Moore is quite simply the most inspirational and supportive coach a parent could wish for one's 13 year old child. She is relentless in her quest to improve our son's physical health, and has done so with a tough and affectionate approach that we so appreciate. Coach Moore's guidance extends both on and off the field. She spends considerable time talking about one's work ethic, mindset for success and positive thinking - all of which have been instrumental in all areas of our son's life. We are so thrilled by her presence in our lives and hope others can experience the same. Pam read more

I had been looking everywhere for a running coach that would be able to take my daughters sprinting and long distance skills to the next level. I am so happy I finally found Martise. She has helped my daughter with everything from proper form, diet to mental toughness. My daughter is not only faster and strong because of Martise, but she is now much more confident in herself. Highly Recommended! read more

I'm training for a half iron man and am a noob to long distant running. I was training on my own but I kept getting major aches and pains during my run and would need to walk a lot and take many days to recover until I could run again. I decided to look into a coach, and Decided to go with Green Runner because they were local and budget friendly. I've finished my second session so far and am extremely happy. Coach Moore has improved my form and given me exercises/drills to improve technique and I've already dropped 2min/mile off my pace and I have much less pain and aches after just 2 sessions.( I went from a 12min/mile average down to 10 min/mile just from better technique and not having to walk or stop because of pain). read more

GreenRunner - After two practices I've been able to get my pace down from 11-13min/miles down to a consistent 10min/mile. - Trainers Near Me

Martise has a professionally tailored foundations approach to assessing and guiding young athletes to faster running in competitions and sports. Her keen eyes will notice posture and other aspects and habits that contribute to speed and will often be missed by school coaches. She's a gem and her sessions and recommended excercises have given us visible improvements, and put us on the track. read more

Martise is a truly excellent coach. When I first decided I wanted to become a faster runner, I was nervous and my goal seemed impossible to reach. Martise was able to help me overcome my challenges in running, fixed my running form, taught me mental strategies to overcome fatigue, and taught me how to be more efficient while running. Her training program is tailored to each athlete and is deployed in a way that is easy to understand and most importantly achievable! I have bad knees, and Martise's focus on form and flexibility has contributed significantly to a healthy, injury-free running experience. It was hands down the best decision of my running career to hire Martise as my coach. For anyone looking to run faster, longer, safer, or pass a specific work-related PFT, you should definitely hire Martise. If you put in the work and follow her program, I can guarantee you will pass any running or fitness challenge you may be facing. If I could give more than 5 stars I would! Thank you Martise! read more

I'm a middle-aged guy who had plateaued with my running... it seemed no matter how hard I trained, I couldn't break a 1:45 half-marathon pace. I reached out to Coach Martise with hopes I finally could. We did four sessions together and I have to say, they were absolutely game-changing. Martise evaluated my form and not only corrected it, but gave me the TOOLS to correct it. This not only made me run faster, but more comfortably... and her approach wasn't just making physical changes, but psychological ones as well. Beyond the four sessions, Coach Martise gave me a daily detailed training schedule with real accountability. I stuck to that plan to the letter... and it was varied enough that despite the hard work, it was truly FUN. I am so proud to say that I not only broke the 1:45 barrier, but finished the Malibu half-Marathon in 1:38... maintaining a 7:30 mile pace... and all without discomfort or injury. I credit this entirely to Martise... I truly could not have not done this without her. A true pro, a great (and patient) teacher, and a wonderful human, I could not recommend this running coach more highly.... I wish there was a sixth star!!! read more

GreenRunner - Race Day, November '23 - Trainers Near Me

With Coach Martise I have successfully run two half marathons. To know me this would surprise you because I am not athletic. She has made me enjoy running and even be good at it. I touch back with her to fine tune my running. I owe all of my running abilities to her! read more

Been running for 10 years and should've had Martise day 1 so I could start off the right way. Oh well, better late than never! I consulted Martise in preparation for the 2023 LA Marathon and after a few sessions, corrected my form, which resulted in a marathon PR. read more

I've been training with Martise for a while now and I love it! I started training originally to improve my form and I was a total noob in running. Not only she helped me improve my form, I already have finished my first half marathon, and we are not planning to stop! read more

My 13 year old daughter is a strong runner. However when it came time for meets she would get very nervous with cramps and race anxiety. Martise worked with her by teaching her about running mindsets. She taught her power words to calm her down and focus on the job of running strong. She worked on her form, how to tackle hills, arm movements, her long distance stride versus her sprint. She just completed her cross country season. She ran PRs on every race and did not let her nerves take over. We can not thank Martise enough. read more

Martise is an excellent coach. She has helped our 18 year old daughter tremendously with her speed work. She has taught her form and mental confidence in her training. In just two sessions our daughter has improved noticeably in those arenas, and I see it being carried over into other areas of her life. Martise is very knowledgeable and confident in her coaching skills and relates very well with our 18-year-old. My daughter loves her point of view on how things work. Having her be accountable for the mental & physical portion of her training sessions instills ownership in her performance, and Martise has her write in her journal which she provides! Very professional, high quality coaching for any and all athletes- we highly recommend!!! read more

Martise was a fantastic coach! I prepared for my first marathon with her and she taught me the physical and mental techniques to succeed. I met my goal on race day and that simply would not have happened without Martise's guidance and moral support. read more

Great experience with the foundations class! Wish I did this 20 years ago! Running has now become a joy

In the words of my 10 year soccer player boy. Coach Martise is fun, help me get ten times faster than before I mate her. I am a very good soccer player according to my coaches, but not as fast as my teammates. Sometimes I get frustrated, when opposing defenders takes the ball away from me, after I made a great trick on them but not fast enough to take the ball to a distance to the goal post so I can score. But now after four weeks of training with coach Martise, I now feel I am really a fast runner and I can't wait for the game to start so I can show my coaches and players my speed. Thank you coach Martise, see you Sunday. read more

I highly recommend Greenrunner. Coach Martise is extremely knowledgeable. My 10-year-old son was struggling with running speed. His technique has significantly changed and is way more efficient. After only a couple months of training there is massive improvement in his running speed which also increased his confidence! Cannot recommend highly enough read more

I would highly recommend training with Martise! I knew nothing about running and was completely out of shape when i first started. I have improved so much that I passed my fitness test for law enforcement! Not only did we run but she also helped me with sprinting, push ups, and sit ups. She is very much involved with your goals as you are. She keeps track of everything and is great at her job! read more

I've been attending Boot Camp with Martise twice or three times a week for a year. The truth be told, I do not want to get off of my couch. But I tell Martise I'll be there so I take it one step at I time. First I show up. From then on it's easy street. Each week we have a different athletic theme, like football or volleyball. The exercises change each week so it's never boring. I can tell that I'm getting stronger because in the beginning I couldn't do push ups and now I'm doing twenty. I plan to still be in boot camp when I'm 80. If I stay with it I know I can do it. Judi read more

I have been working with Martise for over 4 months now, and I have nothing but amazing things to say about her and her training methods. She is very professional, takes pride in teaching, and has an immense knowledge of the body and fitness. She helped me work to make my running form more efficient and she constantly pushes me to work harder in a way that is inspiring. I am pretty stubborn, but she is still able to push me without making me want to quit. Her personality is easy going, funny and caring. I like that she meets with you in places that are outside of the gym, as we consistently change up where we meet, which keeps things interesting. She is always on time and has never canceled on me. I would recommend her to anyone looking for a running coach. read more

I am training for a law enforcement academy and within my first training session, Martise completely improved my running form and efficiency with just a few tips. During my academy I was able to keep up with my class better and conserve my energy. The routine that Martise has me on is very reasonable. Also, unlike your typical trainer, she runs with you and motivates you during the run. I would highly recommend her, especially for someone who is a beginner. read more

I recently had the pleasure of working with Martise from Greenrunner, and I have to say she was fantastic. She was extremely professional and has a deep knowledge of funning and fitness that immediately put me at ease. What really set Martise apart, though, was her ability to explain what to do in order to improve and why these adjustments would be beneficial and the concepts and science behind them. This really made it much easier for me to remember and grasp the reasoning behind the changes she was recommending. In addition to her technical expertise, Martise was a joy to work with. She kept each session fun and engaging. She touched on the mental aspects of the sport, something I hadn't really tried before or taken seriously and her techniques have made a large difference in my approach to running. I highly recommend Martise as a running coach. Whether you're a seasoned runner or just starting out, she has the knowledge, skills, and personality to help you achieve your goals and take your running to the next level. read more

Martise is the best run coach I have ever had... to be honest...she is the only run coach I have ever had, but she sets the bar high for sure. She has not only coached me, but she has also coached my son (9) and daughter (6). They absolutely enjoy her style and look forward to training. She is good with kids, keeping them focused and confident. My son has been going to Martise for the longest as he is the only one who plays a competitive sport; and he has improved his form, power and velocity a great deal since he started training with THE run faster coach. I just started running and I can confidently say that my shins/knee used to hurt after every run, but when I started with Martise, not only did my form improve, but my mental capacity also improved enormously. I have decreased my aches and pains by improving my form and developing a routine before I start running. She is truly a gift. Thank you Martise for helping me to stick with this wonderful full body exercise! read more

Martise taught me how to run hills and incorporate track form into my marathon/half-marathon running! My uphills were decent, but i was always afraid of running downhill after some shin splints years ago. I would always slow down during downhills. She showed me the proper way to run up and down hills, and it works! I now gain some speed on the downhills and I'm able to push up long uphills with proper form - small steps, strong core & pumping arms. I just ran the La Jolla Half and Mountains2Beach Marathon - both super hilly. I only half-trained for the marathon, but I got my 2nd best time ever in both (2:12:40 & 4:38:51), my best being 3 years ago when I was younger. Martise also taught me techniques for sprinting to the finish (like in track) and mental toughness for those hard moments. I'm very happy with my progress! read more

Martise is one marvelous motivator!! She has worked miracles with our son. When we reached out for Maritse's help, we knew our son was in bad shape. He was being timed on a 40 yard dash for his team and clocked out at 7:11. He was the slowest player on his team! We were shocked because he is not overweight and is a healthy kid. To remedy the problem, we took our son to the track and did sprints, sprints, and more sprints. To our surprise and disappointment he actually got slower and was hedging closer to an 8 second 40 yard dash. Out of sheer frustration, we decided to search the internet for a professional running coach. Then we found Martise and her Green Runner website. We emailed her and she promptly got back to us with a friendly, positive attitude and we were impressed right away. We were also impressed with her stellar career as a champion sprinter and scholar athlete at USC. On the first day we met Martise, she ran some diagnostic tests on our son and determined he has extremely tight hip flexors and some other deficiencies in his running form that were causing him to run slow. We could tell right away she was a professional with extensive knowledge of anatomy and the muscular skeletal system. Martise then went through a variety of exercises with him to correct the problems, and then she prescribed a series of drills for us to perform with him at home. We appreciated that Martise was going after the source of the problem, rather than just having him do more sprinting using bad form. Our son was very motivated by Martise, and he diligently did the exercises she assigned to him. After only 3 weeks of in-person training with her and doing her drills, the results have been nothing short of astonishing! Our son is now running a 60 yard dash in the same time he ran a 40 yard dash. Moreover, he looks like an entirely different person. He is so much more athletic looking and agile when he runs. He is no longer ashamed when he runs and is showing a new found confidence. Martise has performed a miracle and we are so grateful to her!!! She is a gifted running coach and a masterful motivator!!! Thank you Martise!!! read more

Martise is doing a great job with our high school son. She very quickly assessed his technical form and areas of physical weakness and stiffness. She gave him both physical and mental exercises, and he has already seen the benefits in the same season. She also has helped him think like a high performance athlete and has a very friendly and supportive attitude. read more

Martise is the running coach you didn't even realize you needed... her wisdom, talent, and passion for running are quickly made apparent once the lesson begins! She takes the time to sit with you and understand your running history and future goals. I received 2 sessions with her as a birthday gift (great idea btw!) in order to help me train for the LA marathon. In just 2 weeks, she improved my posture, my endurance, and best of all, my mentality. My dream was to run the marathon without stopping once to walk, and because of GreenRunner, I did it! In the short time I worked with her, Martise proved to be one of the best coaches I've ever learned from. I can't wait to sign on for more sessions and become a better runner than I ever have been before! read more

I have attended 3 Boot camps thus far and its been a really good experience. Martise varies the workout daily and usually has a particular sports theme which keeps it interesting. She know how to push you hard enough so that you have a great workout, but not so intense that it's no longer fun. Martise is very knowledgeable and caring so If you're looking to get in shape, give Greenrunner LA a try. read more

After signing up for my very first half marathon race, I knew I was not in the shape that I needed to be in so I sought out a running coach and I was blessed to find Martise. She composed a personalized 4 month training plan to progress my mileage and long-distance enduance/speed. During our private sessions she taught me the proper running mechanics, how to run hills, drills to develop my fast-twitch muscles and of course, how to develop my mental strength. Throughout my race, I utilized every tool she taught me. Without her amazing training I would not have been as successful as I was. I am so proud of my results and I have Martise to thank for that! read more

I have a love/hate relationship with working out and running but Martise manages to make boot camp fun and she inspires me to push myself. Give her a try, I'm pretty sure you'll enjoy it and find it challenging. The only thing you have to lose is the weight! read more

Thanks martise for your help in passing my pt test.thanks a lot. You the best. read more

I contacted Martise to help my son prepare for an ROTC Program. My son is very fit but his form needed some work. Martise initially video recorded him running and within an hour he looked completely different. He was efficient and obviously faster. She has the ability to recognize the smallest nuances and make corrections. Excellent coach and highly recommended! read more

I have been active all my life but never knew how to properly run. Martise improved my technique and speed instantly. Her expertise and knowledge in running makes the sessions enjoyable. The small details she is able to notice make a dramatic difference in your running performance. I would highly recommend Martise to runners of all levels. read more
