Join Christina and her special guest Martin Reid as they chat about how men are beginning to embrace Pilates as a way to get into shape, build strength and improve flexibility. Introduction to the Reid Method Martin takes some time to explain his signature Reid Method, and how his style of teaching differentiates him from other Pilate's teachers. Interestingly, everyone has their own style, and even if two Pilate's teachers took the same course, and graduated at the same time, they would still have different ways of teaching their classes. Martin's social work background allows him to communicate empathetically, and authentically with his clients. As he has evolved in the industry, he has learned how to marry techniques picked up from different schools of thought and implement them into his work. He feels that he is always learning, whether it is on the relationship side of the business, or the biomechanical side; this is what makes his work so impactful; there is always room for growth. Pilates is for everyone Although Pilates has traditionally been associated with women's fitness, Martin is excited that more and more men are realizing the power of Pilates. Men tend to get caught up in being weekend warriors, playing sports, and for some, it is hard to put their ego's aside to do something that does not involve weights, or other workouts that they have been doing for the last 40 years. What they soon discover is that while doing Pilates, they learn exactly what their bodies are capable of. They are touching their toes for the first time. They are finding mobility that they never had before, and they are getting stronger. Martin feels strongly about the benefit of Pilates for men; it helps their bodies recover from the yearly wear and tear. During the discussion, he shares stories about fathers coming to classes with their children, which he finds simply amazing. He see's it as a great way for these dads to bond with their kids. Real Men do Pilates What is a real man? What does being a real man even mean? This is something that Martin and his colleagues have been unpacking for years. His goal has been to topple the stigma that Pilates is just for women. Martin highlights the fact that athletes like: LeBron James, Chris Carter, and the late Kobe Bryant all have done Pilates because they wanted to be ahead of the curve. Now, even more pro athletes and former pro athletes are trying Pilates, many stating that they wished they had started doing it much earlier. He shares that sentiment, noting that when he got injured, maybe if he had tried Pilates, he would have healed better, and maybe his performance would have been better. The Core Conversations Podcast Concept Like many other fitness experts, when the pandemic hit, Martin had to pivot and find a way to not only stay relevant, but to establish a unique niche in the disrupted industry. One day while talking with his wife, an idea came to him; at 10:00 am everyday, he would do an Instagram Live, and invite industry professionals to come on, and just talk about what they are doing. He has now interviewed about 400 guests since the podcast began last year. The Power of Effective Communication Communication is the cornerstone of Martin's work, and although he admits that he does not have perfect communication skills, his training has taught him how to be empathetic.

This week on Scran we chat all things Scottish gin with Gin Cooperative founders Natalie and Martin Reid, and Sean Murphy, author of the book 'Gin Galore'. With International Scottish Gin Day falling on 24 October this year, Martin and Natalie discuss how and why they set it up. Sean chats about the rise in popularity of Scottish gin and what can be learned from whisky, and we all mull over our favourite gins and why flavoured options seem to be on the rise. Finally Rosalind is back in her kitchen, this time making a Scottish G&T with a twist.

We got a chance to talk gin with Martin Reid, the patriarch and owner of Reids Distillery, a boutique gin distillery located in Leslieville. Along with his three children, Martin has been producing some of the most creative gin west of the Atlantic under the Reids Distillery banner, inspired by equal parts family and equal parts adventure (his family lived on a sailboat for 2 years!!!). We distill the truth of what makes gin such an expressive spirit, how he and his family got into gin, what its like working with family, and how to outmaneuver pirate attacks on the coast of Venezuela. You can learn more about Reids Distillery by following @reidsdistillery on Instagram.

Martin Reid discusses how handling sleep disruptions with cognitive behavioural therapy for insomnia can positively benefit your work-life harmony.

In this Special Episode Dave and Ian are joined by Martin Reid and Michelle Goldfinch  to discuss balancing your hobby with your relationships.  We have had a large number of emails about this topic so we have decided to do a one off special on the subject.  While this episode does not follow our usual format we hope that you will find it interesting and informative.  For those of you who, like me, are blessed with the perfect modelling partner, this might not be the episode that you are expecting, but let me reassure you that this special episode is a “one off”.

In this Episode Dave, Ian and Julian are joined by Martin Reid to talk about Model clubs……how to get the best out of your club, how to find one in your area and if you don’t have one near you, how to set one up. We also look at whats new in the modelling world as well as discussing the new Gotha from Wingnut Wings.

Martin Reid, my dad and one of the most influential people in my life, was born on Sept 21, 1951, in his parents' bed in Middlesbrough, England.Growing up he lived in a brick terraced house in sight of the Middlesbrough football club (soccer for those in north America). At this time, Britain was still recovering from the war effort, in fact there were still some bombed sites around town. He grew up focused on 2 things – school and rugby and both served him well through life.His focus on school (and his natural smarts) got him into Oxford University where he earned a degree in physicsLife takes many twists and turns – my dad's was no different:-marrying my wonderful mum,-having 4 excellent children,-a move across an ocean and starting life again,-and a super successful career in the nuclear industry are defining aspects of my dad's life (through his daughter's eyes anyway).Join us for an hour where we cover all sorts – good reads (and perspectives) on leadership, sports, school, and the 3 questions he asked himself to achieve success and fulfillment.Reference is made to the following books: The Leadership Challenge, Kouzes and PosnerThe French Lieutenant's Woman, John FowlesAll the John Le Carre booksRichard Dawkins on Evolution, Religion

Episode 27 is a Wingnut Wings special. Dave, Ian and Julian are joined by Martin Reid and the General Manager of Wingnut Wings Richard Alexander to talk about everything Wingnut Wings. And of course we will have our usual whats new in the modelling world segment. On The Bench is a podcast by modellers for modellers about models talking about all aspects of our hobby, bringing you news of upcoming releases and having chats about building kits as well as bringing you special guests.

In episode 26 Dave Ian and Julian bring you the third and final part of the show that was recorded at Melbourne Model Expo. We talk to Martin Reid, James from Nunawading wargamers, Paul Sabin, Frank Morgan and Daniel from the GUNPLA builders club. On The Bench is a podcast by modellers for modellers about models talking about all aspects of our hobby, bringing you news of upcoming releases and having chats about building kits as well as bringing you special guests.

Martin talks about the state of university technology education, and how best to support students going out into the community.

Ashley Sampson (Talent Buyer at Bowery Presents) and Martin Reid (Artist Manager at SimplePlay Presents) interview each other. The points of discussion include: hurricane improvisation, barrier to entry, the season for routing artists, and much more.

Martin Reid is the creator of “Personal Victory," a fitness consulting company developed to help people determine and reach their fitness goals. He is also an Education Specialist at Life Time Athletic. On social media, he calls himself a "Tabata & Pilates Guy!" In addition, Martin has begun to do some speaking and was featured as a contributing writer to the book “Dreaming Big Being Bold: Inspiring Stories from Trailblazers,Visionaries and Change Makers” by Paula Morand & Victoria Craig. What’s interesting is that we did not talk much about fitness, or speaking, or writing, in this discussion. Instead, this conversation was very much about relationship, reinvention and self-realization. Like me, Martin thought he had it all figured out and, at least initially, couldn't understand when things started to fall apart at home. As you'll hear, he's gone (going) through a personal transformation that is empowering observe. Some of the key things I took from my time with Martin include: 1. Embracing Brokenness – He tells the story of a broken bowl, and how the pieces that are glued back together are actually stronger than the other, “non-broken” parts of the bowl. This goes hand-in-hand with accepting impermanence – if you don’t see the glass as half full or half empty, but embrace it as already broken, you can enjoy and appreciate each moment with it more. I love the idea of putting flecks of gold in the glue, too. 2. An Evolving View of Courage – Martin gives a clear account of how his views have changed on what constitutes true nobility, strength and courage. He notes that he used to view transparency as weakness. He now knows better, and I couldn’t agree with him more. 3. Significance of the Insignificant – This is the ripple effect. And it can work both for you or against you. Little becomes big. © 2017 Kevin Bulmer Enterprises
