After being very active until the age of 18 I then went through a very lazy 10 years until a few weeks before starting with Matt where I had mainly been concentrating on cardio.

Although trying to eat a healthy diet at this time, my shift work as a doctor often led to opportunistic grab and go eating patterns often reliant on carbohydrates.

On starting with Matt our work outs were mostly focussed on weights.

Cardio slowly increased through training whilst continuing heavy weights. More recently we have been doing a lot of circuit workouts which have continued to give good results! Matt also set me a diet plan which he has constantly adjusted throughout training.

Matt takes a holistic approach looking into your sleep, caffeine, fluid and alcohol intake advising accordingly. Matt also gives you accountability by being part of his training network which has also been a great support system in my training journey.

Since training with Matt I feel so healthy and strong. Fitting into old clothes is a great feeling and feeling super confident when recently going wedding dress shopping was invaluable.

My posture is so much better which has been noticed by a number of people.

I would highly recommend Matt and I wouldn’t hesitate to train with him again. I know health care professionals can be a bit dubious around some PTs’ recommendations but Matt uses a lot of evidence based practice and is always happy to direct you towards research and talk through any concerns.

He is realistic around what can fit into your busy work schedule but will also be honest if your plan is unlikely to get you good results.

Training with Matt is worth every penny!
