Biography
“Some speakers want an hour of your time. I want a piece of the rest of your life.”
A pioneer of the Wellness Movement, Martin Collis is one of North America's great speakers on the many facets of wellness. He's been described as a Renaissance man, scientist, coach of world record breakers, composer, recording artist, tri-athlete, author, professor and world authority on workplace wellness. He is one of the first four Canadians to be recognized by the U.S. and Canadian governments for his work in inspiring life change. Using music, laughter and science, Martin's presentations move audiences to improve personal and professional performance.
Martin is the author of the first North American book on employee fitness for the Canadian government, and of Phacts of Life, a weight management book translated into five languages and serialized in Britain's The Daily Express. He recently published the Little Book of Lifestyle Artistry.
Martin's background is diverse, as are his accomplishments. He practices what he preaches and lives an active lifestyle full of rich experiences. He has a PhD from Stanford University for Exercise Physiology. With colleagues from the University of Victoria, Martin re-wrote the science of cold-water survival and developed clothing that has been patented and marketed worldwide. He is also a co-developer of the PAR-Q (Physical Activity Readiness Questionnaire), which is used by millions of people throughout North America.
Client Comments
"Martin Collis was the highlight of the program as he presented perhaps the best speech we've heard in our 16 year history."
New York State, Healthy State Awards Banquet
"The perfect keynote."
Courtenay School District
"As always the education and entertainment value was immense. I saw one of the depressed members of the group look up and smile for the first time, then beg for one more song — a breakthrough — finally there was communication."
YM/YWCA Postcoronary Rehabilitation Program
"Martin possesses the rare gift of being able to portray serious issues in a lighthearted and entertaining way. His presence, stories, songs and message have become a tradition at the International Health, Work & Wellness Conference. Our delegates use words like 'passionate', 'powerful!', 'inspiring!', 'thoughtful' and 'dynamic!' to describe him."
