"I’ve had the privilege of working with Coach Matt for almost four years, both individually and in team settings. His care, knowledge, and competence in health, wellness, and fitness have been invaluable. Matt helped me recover from a major foot injury seamlessly and supported me through a health scare that could have ended my career. He played a crucial role in my team's journey to the Paris 2024 Olympics, where we earned a Silver medal. One of the greatest benefits I've found is the confidence boost he's given me as both an athlete and a person. Matt coaches with a positive approach, making you feel capable of anything. He takes the time to explain exercises thoroughly, providing the 'why' behind each movement, which helps me understand and improve my performance. Matt leads with care and curiosity, always open to solving challenges creatively. Being coached by him has been a continuous learning experience that will stay with me for life. Matt's ability to coach diverse groups, from elite athletes to those with varying goals, is truly exceptional."

“Coach Matt has been an invaluable part of my fitness journey for over a decade. I was drawn to him early on for his incredible knowledge of fitness, movement, and body mechanics, which he explains in a way that's easy to grasp. His warm and welcoming energy, combined with a great sense of humor, makes every session enjoyable. Matt introduced me to breathwork and the benefits of performance breathing, which has revolutionized my physical conditioning. What I appreciate most is how Matt raised my awareness about mental health; he emphasizes that having tools for mental health and well-being is just as important as physical health. Coach Matt is someone you genuinely enjoy being around, which makes him an exceptional coach. If you're looking for a knowledgeable and supportive coach who can help you achieve a balanced approach to fitness and wellness, I highly recommend working with Coach Matt.”

“Coach Matt has been instrumental in my transformation as both an athlete and a person.

“When I first met Coach Matt, he warmly welcomed me into an environment of fitness that I hadn’t practiced since COVID. After gaining weight and losing my fitness, I felt that I was beginning from zero. From the very first session with him, I learned that he was there to coach my fitness, but most importantly, he was there to challenge all my preconceived notions of fitness and invite me to strip my ego away in the process. His coaching is much more than a fitness session, it is meant to be applied to your everyday life. Coach Matt’s feedback is consistent and effective, reminding me it wasn’t just about how much weight I moved that day; it was the quality with which I carried it. I would recommend Matt for folks who want to be on track to fitness but are willing to introspectively look within themselves and change their perspective on what it means to be fit. Matt helped remind me that I don’t need to look in shape or have a specific body type to be strong. I need commitment and my willingness to learn to be fit. Coach Matt gives you enough to challenge you and break your barriers and he gives you a safe space to do that every single time.”

“When I first began working with Coach Matt I was hesitant — especially around the physical training. Matt knew how to not only push me, but invite me to explore the resistance itself, and why I was experiencing it. He was patient while encouraging me as we started on a transformative path. What started as purely physical training quickly evolved into something much deeper. Through his skillful integration of breath work and inner work practices I began to see shifts not only in my physical body, but in how I was showing up in the world. The breath work, in particular, taught me how to slow down, reconnect with my body, and remain calm under overwhelming pressures. As a result, I’ve grown stronger not just physically, but mentally and emotionally. I’m more confident and centered in my professional life — better able to lead, to handle stress, and to speak with clarity. In my personal life, I’ve deepened my relationships, developed greater self-awareness, and cultivated a stronger sense of purpose and presence. Coach Matt is more than a health & fitness coach — he is a guide, a mentor, and someone deeply committed to the growth and evolution of those he works with. I’m deeply grateful for the journey we’ve shared and would recommend his coaching to anyone ready to build not just a stronger body, but a more resilient and authentic life.”

Coach Matt has done a really good job of making difficult, hard things easy to approach with his encouragement and ability to sit in it with you. It has had a profound impact on my life. His continued friendship and ability to approach my problems from a unique lens has allowed me to grow in ways I never thought I could. When I came to Coach Matt, I needed connection and a sense of clarity. Matt was good about guiding and not telling. I made my own discoveries, he just brought the encouragement. I have greater physical health and a stronger appreciation for the mind-body connection. I understand the recipe needed for having a strong forward-thinking life. You just have to put the work in. Coach Matt makes the work fun. I like Coach Matt as a person. He’s very human and approachable. He doesn’t set himself up to be somebody who’s better than you. He comes to you at the same level you’re at. And he teaches you that thing you don’t know. That thing that you need. He’s the kind of guy you want in your corner. Matt started out as a coach for me and I learned a lot from him, but what I gained in the end is someone that I can call and talk with and laugh with. He cares about the people he’s around very genuinely. You won’t find many coaches like that.
