HOLLYWOOD actor and fitness fanatic Martyn Ford will make a rare appearance in Birkenhead tomorrow (Thursday). 

Recently starring in Kingsman: The Golden Circle, 'The Monster' Martyn is the face of new fitness supplement line Rich Piana's: 5% Nutrition.

He will be meeting fans, signing autographs and posing for pictures at the Pyramids' T-Nutrition store from 4pm to 5.30pm.

Centre director at Pyramids Derek Millar said: “This is a wonderful opportunity for fitness fans and film buffs to come and meet this intriguing force of nature at T-Nutrition.

“Martyn’s story is quite something; once an aspiring cricketer, he’s spent the last 10 years working hard on his magnificent transformation into a fitness legend and is now also taking on big film productions.”

T-Nutrition is one of the UK’s leading fitness supplies distributors, which opened its third store in the North West at Pyramids last summer and has been going from strength to strength ever since.

Chief executive Trevor Goodwin told the Globe: “Martyn is figuratively and literally one of the biggest guys in the fitness and bodybuilding industry.

"He’s an awesome inspiration and we’re huge fans, and with his film career also about to go through the roof this year, it’s an amazing draw for us to welcome him to T-Nutrition.”

For a guaranteed bone-crushing handshake, autograph and photo with Martyn, 120 VIP wristbands are available to customers purchasing the ‘5% Stack’ - a £49.95 supplements and accessories package - on a first come, first served basis while stocks last.

Trevor added: “It’s going to be a brilliant day and we hope to see many customers for this unforgettable event.”

All shoppers will be able to tuck into ‘protein’ pizza – a reduced calorie and carbohydrate version of the cheat-day favourite - and sip on free, ice-cold smoothies.

Goodie bags and 20% off 5% Nutrition products will also be available on the day.

Derek concluded: “We’re thrilled that Martyn is going to be visiting Pyramids’ customers this week and due to his popularity, we advise that people arrive early to get their wristbands for priority entry.

"We look forward to his arrival.”
