About Matthew

Matthew is a passionate personal trainer with 7 years of experience, currently working at Goodlife Health Clubs Fountain Gate. Growing up with a love for sports, Matthew found himself with an interst in fitness and physical preparation. This interest inspired him to study Personal Training, as well as completing a Bachelor of Sport and Exercise Science.

Having completed his fitness qualification with AIPT in 2016, Matthew sees mentoring with AIPT as an opportunity to give back to the industry. Inspired by the mentors who shaped his own career, he believes in sharing knowledge rather than keeping it guarded. For Matthew, success is a team sport, and he is committed to helping others grow in their fitness careers.

Matthew’s advice for those considering a career in fitness: "Write your program in pencil, not pen"—adaptability is key when working with clients. You also need to help them see the potential they might not recognise in themselves, guiding them toward becoming the best version of themselves.
