Introduction

Matt is obsessed with helping people move better and live a happier, healthier, stronger life. His journey in health and performance really began during his time serving in the United States Navy. He learned everything he could to prepare himself and two friends to play college football after his service. He did end up playing college football and during that time realized that his true passion had been the time spent training and sweating, helping himself, friends, and teammates to push themselves in an attempt to become stronger better versions of themselves. When his time as a college athlete came to an end, Matt decided to pursue a career as a strength coach. He has now spent the last three years as a full time strength coach and personal trainer working with athletes and anyone dedicated to improving their health, strength, and wellbeing. His goal is to help as many people as he possibly can push towards their true mental and physical potential through training while continuing to learn and grow himself so he can best carry out this mission.

Q&A

What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?

unfold fold
I am perfectly willing to work something out that works for me and the customer if they are determined, committed, willing to work consistently, and we are a good fit.

What is your typical process for working with a new customer?

unfold fold
I always start off with a comprehensive assessment on the fist session free of charge. I assess the clients strengths, weaknesses, mobility, and stability in order to see what would benefit their body and their goals the most. It's also important to me to understand the client, their goals, and especially why these goals are important to them.

What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?

How did you get started doing this type of work?

unfold fold
I started doing this work unofficially during my time in the Navy. I Met two like minded individuals who's goal it was to play college football when their service was finished, as was mine. I spent the next three years learning everything I could from the best in the field in order to improve our athleticism. Through trial and error we were all able to makes tremendous strides. We also all ended up playing college football which was a dream come true for us. This experience was so meaningful to me that I decided to pursue a career as a strength coach. I've been working for the past three years as a full time strength coach and personal trainers. During that time my passion has grown from helping optimize athletic abilities to helping all people live a healthier, stronger, happier lifestyle. I truly couldn't think of a more rewarding career for myself.

What types of customers have you worked with?

unfold fold
I have worked with hundreds of athletes ranging from middle school to Division 1 college athletes all of whom I was personally responsible for programming and prescribing their strength and mobility work as well as helping them to get healthy and remain healthy. The majority of athletes I worked with were baseball and volleyball players. On top of that I have worked around 40 clients who's goals ranged from building muscle to losing weight.
