“I first contacted Matt at Train Strong in February 2015 after my wife very politely suggested I was carrying a little timber!

With a beach holiday and my 37th birthday 3-months away I wanted to change the way I looked and whilst I knew my way around the cardio room at the gym, I had little in the way of upper body strength and my diet was mixed.

Matt was friendly and approachable and we agreed an initial three month programme of coaching sessions alongside a bespoke programme of home based training and running.

My experience with Matt was first class and I dropped from 76kg to 67kg after the initial programme. The biggest change however came in my confidence and with Matt’s support my initial embarrassment quickly subsided and I now love being part of the friendly and inclusive Train Strong community. The PT sessions are only a small part of the Train Strong experience and I now attend Matt’s top class group sessions regularly.

Matt also played a huge part in giving me the inspiration and confidence to leave full time employment and chase my dream of establishing my own business – something I am very grateful for.

If you are looking to get fitter, receive great support on many levels, meet friendly people, take life in a new direction and have fun in the process – then Matt’s your man.”
