Project You

Hey, my name is Matthew!

I fell in love with the fitness industry when I saw how big of an impact training can have on people, not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well.

Growing up I was always made fun of, whether it was for being too chubby or too skinny; it seemed like I could never win. I hated the way I looked. I wouldn’t eat my lunches at school, because “if you don’t eat, you can’t get fat”, right? Well, eventually I became skinny. Too skinny. I was now too small in comparison to all the other kids to play on the rugby team. And that’s when I found the gym. Unfortunately my relationship with fitness started out of a dark place because all I wanted to do was look good for other people.

Slowly but surely, I started seeing the progress and fell in love with the process more than the destination. I forgot all about the negativity and started training for myself.

My goal as a trainer has, and always will be, to transform people’s lives. I want to show people how strong and incredible they really are - that despite your insecurities, you are remarkable and powerful. And yes you might lose some weight or gain some muscle along the way.

With that being said, let the journey begin…

Life might knock you down, but that doesn’t mean you have to stay there.

Smile through the hard times.
BE STRONG-BE BRAVE-BE YOU

Some days you really don’t want to do it. So do it anyway!

Today was my first session back since my bike accident 5 weeks ago. How did it go?
Feel like sh*t✅
Can’t lift much✅
Fatigued after like 3 reps✅
Hate myself and keep comparing to where I used to be✅
Feel like a fat blob ✅

But guess what, I might not be where I was, but I’m one step closer to being better than ever.

We all have set backs, but that doesn’t mean we’re not going to get past them!

2020 has been quite something. Every single goal I had set for myself turned to sh*t😂. With that being said though, I have had so many new blessings come into my life. 1 of which has been my 1pm army. Not only have they helped me fall back in love with what I do for a living, but they’ve helped me grow as a trainer and pushed me to develop different styles of workouts to keep pushing them. I truly am grateful for everything I have learned from this year, how ever 2021 can you please be a bit kinder😂🙏🏻.
