I cannot thank Matt and Balanced Fitness enough for their unwavering support, encouragement, and guidance throughout my journey. When I first started, I was at a low point in my life, struggling with my mental health and feeling incredibly insecure, especially about going to the gym. 

Matt took the time to understand my needs and started me off slowly, creating a comfortable environment where I could rebuild my confidence. Over time, I went from attending once a week with his guidance to now feeling comfortable enough to go to the gym five days a week—two of those still with Matt’s incredible support.

Through Matt’s expertise, I’ve developed a deeper understanding of strength training, proper technique, and how to create balanced workouts tailored to my goals. He’s also helped me build a healthier relationship with nutrition and fitness as a whole, making these changes feels sustainable and empowering.

I’m so grateful for the positive impact Matt and Balanced Fitness have had on my life. They’ve created a safe and supportive space that has helped me build not just strength, but confidence and resilience as well.

I started with Matt in June 2024 with no confidence of walking into a gym, from day 1 Matt has been nothing but a great coach mentor and has become a great friend.

The weekly check-ins and pushing me to my limits to get the best out of myself, I really couldn't have got the results, the confidence and the knowledge about the health and fitness industry without his guidance.

From where I started 7 months ago to where I am now I really put these results into the great man who I trust with my life.

I’ve been training with Matt for just over 1 1/2 years.  The moment I started training with Mat,  he made me feel comfortable, I knew I was in the right hands.  He’s an exceptional personal trainer who truly cares about his client's success.  His expertise, patience and motivating personality makes each session challenging and enjoyable.  He’s also given me a meal plan to follow daily which has healthy and easy meals to make which suits my busy lifestyle.  He has also  taken me out of my comfort zone on numerous occasions which had helped me grow within myself!! I have no hesitations in recommending Balanced Fitness!!

Matt was incredible in helping me recover from leg fracture and help change my mindset on exercise and my relationship with food. His support and expertise was game-changing which helped my physical and mental healthy, highly recommended!

Matt changed my life—physically and mentally.  Before working with Matt, I was struggling with anxiety and had zero confidence in my body. I felt like I was stuck in a cycle of self-doubt. But Matt didn’t just train my body—he taught me how to believe in myself again. Each session with him pushed me past my limits, both physically and mentally. I’m stronger, more confident, and I finally feel like I have control over my health. Matt helped me transform in ways I never imagined, and I’m forever grateful for his unwavering support.

I’ve always been active, but I was stuck in a fitness plateau and couldn’t figure out how to break through. Working with Matt was a game-changer. Not only did I see physical changes in my strength and endurance, but he also helped me develop a mindset of resilience. I now look at challenges—whether in the gym or life—with a “I can do this” attitude. The sense of achievement and clarity I have now goes beyond fitness; it's affecting every part of my life.

I was in a rut, feeling isolated and disconnected from both my fitness goals and social life. Training with Matt was the best decision I ever made. Not only did he push me to new heights physically, but he also created a sense of camaraderie and community. It’s no longer just about lifting weights—it’s about lifting each other up. I’ve made new friends through Matt’s sessions, and I feel supported both in the gym and outside of it. If you’re looking for a trainer who truly cares, Matt’s your guy.

I started with Matty in September of 2024 with my only real goal to become comfortable being inside a gym. Over the last 4 months Matty has helped me gain confidence while still pushing me out of my comfort zone to grow in ways I didn’t know I would. He keeps me accountable and is a cheerleader wanting me to be my best.

Wow what can I say about you! I appreciate you and everything you have done for me over the past 3 years. You have not only transformed my body composition but my life. I came to you at my heaviest of 98kg and not only have I lost 20kgs in weight but I have been able to maintain it for the past 3 years. You have given me the knowledge and advice that I’ve needed to know my body and work towards a sustainable lifestyle that now has me living my best life. My lifestyle is totally different today and I can’t thank you enough. I will continue recommending you and your services for the rest of my days

I started working with Matt in August 2023. I was new to the gym and needed assistance with correct equipment set up,  lifting technique and I had no idea how to structure a session.

Matt was approachable from the start. He has a great sense of humour and knew how to, not only encourage, but to push me when i needed to.  He knows exactly what i'm capable of. Our journey has been far from perfect. The past year has thrown some curve balls, due to  the injuries i was working through.  This never bothered Matt who has closely monitored how i was handling each training session and improvising when an exercise would trigger.

I’ve been training with Matt for over and year now and the amount of knowledge he has shared with me is amazing. I’ve learnt so much and am lifting heavier than ever before. Each week I learn something new and I’m able to train well in the gym on my own too. He started off as my trainer but is now a great friend too. If you’re looking for a new trainer or wanting a great PT, Matt definitely is your guy!
