I spent the majority of my 20′s battling with my weight and vowed I wasn’t going to spend my 30′s the same way. I’ve joined plenty of gyms in my time, each of which I became bored of. The problem: the results weren’t good enough and always tapered off!

When I came to Matt, I was at my heaviest and having trouble with my stomach. Plus I felt physically uncomfortable and was unhappy with my appearance. Matt devised a plan including home workouts (no more wasted gym fees for me!) and nutritional advice.

Six months down the line, not only am I looking better but I’ve learned a lot – the training sessions with Matt have been a real education. He has a wealth of knowledge which is great as I like to know the rationale behind what I’m doing.

When I saw my best friend for the first time in a few months, I looked so different he hardly recognised me!

The issue of my unsettled stomach continued, so upon Matt’s recommendation I did a Hair Mineral Analysis test. Based on the results, Matt tailored a plan of supplements and provided advice.

Matt is a great guy to work with; his enthusiasm for what he does has kept me going and continues to make me strive further than I ever imagined – 10% body fat here I come!

When I decided to finally take my health seriously after a life-time of being overweight, I came across Matt and thought his holistic approach to personal training might be just the kind of thing I was after. I can honestly say that it was the best decision I’ve made in years.

Working with Matt has had an overwhelmingly positive effect on my health, weight, fitness and self-esteem. His three sixty degree approach, personally tailored to me, has boosted my energy levels, eliminated a whole host of digestive and mobility issues I’ve struggled with for years and generally left me feeling great.

Matt delivers each session with the perfect balance of motivation, encouragement, enthusiasm and ‘the science bit’! And the best thing is, for the first time in ages, I actually look forward to exercise!

My wife had been working with Matt for several months and had seen some spectacular results, and having spent 5 years pounding a punch bag with my previous personal trainer I felt the time was right to take a different approach.

Wanting a piece of the action I undertook an initial Hair Mineral Analysis and haven’t looked back since.

I see Matt twice a week and he has helped change my shape radically. His holistic approach and different techniques have kept me interested at every stage. I have full buy-in to his methodology.

Matt is genuinely interested in your personal development and welfare. His knowledge and understanding is unlike anything else I have experienced before – I have seen instant results and feel well on the way to a sustainable and enjoyable programme.

Having always exercised and competed in triathlons for about 6 years I thought I was fit and knew how to exercise but just needed a bit of extra help shifting some excess baby weight, when training time was limited.

I was expecting to be punished physically but Matt’s style of training is completely different to anything I’d done before. It’s hard to believe that training less and going back to the basics of core stability and strength training would make such a difference but it really does work – my results were so good my friends and family have been demanding Matt’s number from me!

Doing the elimination diet really helped me to kick my naughty eating habits back into shape (without feeling like I was completely missing out) and all the weight I lost initially has stayed off. I’m due to have my second baby in the next few months but I will be back to train with Matt as soon as I can to refocus myself and get my body back into tip top shape.

When I first started training with Matt in June 2010, I knew the following months would be a bit hectic as it was my 30th Birthday in July and I was getting married in September, so I really wanted to feel on form.

I’d wanted to work one on one with a trainer for a while as I’d always had an an interest in health & fitness but wanted more of a bespoke experience which would also be a bit of an education.

After a short consultation with Matt discussing my short and long term goals, and three sixty°’s background and views on health & fitness, I decided that I’d definitely made the right decision. It wasn’t just going to be about the right exercise for me but also nutrition and balance.

My training evolved from balanced, core based exercises through to building my strength and some quite testing circuits, and I was always kept motivated throughout in a really positive (non-Army Major) style! Every month my sessions would involve an assessment – this is when you really see your results on paper (as well as actually seeing the results and feeling great of course), and I found this really helpful in committing to the program outside of sessions.

I also started off with the three sixty° Elimination Diet which helped me identify what foods work well for me and which don’t. Within a short space of time I was soon feeling lighter, toned and full of energy.

During my time training with Matt I feel that I have a better understanding of my well being and how nutrition and exercise strongly contribute to it.

After having a baby, I was feeling pretty unfit, untoned and generally in need of a kick start into getting back to exercise. With regular sessions with Matt, I can see that I have toned up considerably, lost a few lingering baby pounds and feel generally fitter. I have a new way of eating, through following the elimination diet.

I also suffered with knee pain when running for years and assumed I simply had something wrong with my knees, however, when using my new best friend, the 'foam roller', it became clear that the knee pain was probably associated with other parts of my body and not my knees.

On using the foam roller regularly, and with Matt's soft tissue release, I can now run without pain. I can also get into my pre-pregnancy skinny jeans! An extra bonus! Matt was great to work with, really passionate and dedicated and pushed me to my maximum potential. I would highly recommend him.

I had a made a promise with myself that after the birth of my second child I would work really hard to get fit and start to eat a more healthy diet. The time came and I embarked on a twelve week programme with Matt.

For someone whose book shelf contained as many takeout menus as it did books and whose idea of exercise was walking to the local shop, he had a challenge on his hands! I was initially taken with Matt’s enthusiasm and passion for what he does. It wasn’t long before we were getting real results, the weight was dropping off and I was beginning to feel good about my body and exercise, I genuinely looked forward to my training session.

For me, Matt is a brilliant trainer, for it is not just the way in which he motivates you, it is the way in which he has educated me about food and fitness and has taught me invaluable skills which will stay with me for always.

I feel like a new woman, I’m 23 pounds lighter, in much better shape and down to my changes in diet and exercise I have never had so much energy. If I can do it, then anyone can!!!
