I know it has only been about 8 months since we started working together, but our sessions changed my life—really! I built my confidence and knowledge, and I took our time together to build what I hope will be a lifelong practice for myself. Before working with you, I always found the gym to be an overwhelming an intimidating place, but you helped me find a way to center myself and my own needs while training. Yes, I've gotten some nice compliments from folks about my new physique, but I'm also feeling like a whole new person. Less stressed, more focused and at ease. I look forward to getting to the gym and continuing to develop. Thank you, thank you.

I started training with Matt in March 2021 in Oakland. and stayed with him through 2021. I told Matt my strength training goals and he worked diligently with me to achieve them. Matt was careful to ensure I used proper form, not only to prevent injuries but to challenge the targeted muscles. The workouts were intense and focused. Matt was always professional and on time to training sessions. Matt modified my workouts every few weeks or so to change up the routine, which helped me build muscle quickly and safely. Matt is a good listener and knows his stuff. For example, if he saw a stabilizing muscle was weak and thus preventing bigger lifts for a larger muscle group, we would work on strengthening the stabilizing muscles and improve the quality of a push or pull down the road. If a particular muscle was too sore after a workout, he would find other ways to challenge the same muscle while reducing the chance of injury. I only stopped working out with Matt because I moved away from Oakland. Having worked out with other trainers, I would highly recommend him for anyone looking to begin or continue their strength training journey.

I was fortunate enough to have Matt as my trainer for several months and the knowledge I gained around fitness during that time has been invaluable. I have been athletic all my life, but after the pandemic hit I wanted to get stronger, build more muscle and benefit from a structured routine in the gym. Through working with Matt I was able to learn the importance of correct form, consistency and how to create a routine in the gym cycling through the different muscle groups. Matt is extremely knowledgeable and passionate about what he does, I would recommend working with him to anyone!
