I look forward to training with Mathew and am proud of my progress under his expert guidance!

I do strength training workouts from a small home gym, and set up my phone camera with Mathew once or twice a week. Mathew is knowledgeable, and makes the workout fun and just the right amount of challenging. I have been training with him for 10 weeks, and I can both see improvements in my performance of each exercise (I am reaching higher weights and getting better at the motion/muscle memory) and all of the exercises he chooses are targeting my physique goals, too (I feel the difference in my body after 10 weeks).

We typically do 3 sets of 8-12 for the main portion of the workout. At the end of each set he explains how to tweak the movement to make sure I am hitting the target muscle properly. With his guidance I am able to lift more than when I workout alone, even though the training is virtual and he’s not spotting me, I feel safer because I’m confident in how well he is attentive to my form and he would verbally correct me (or tell me to stop if necessary) in order to prevent injury.

Mathew keeps me on track with my progress with a really easy to read spreadsheet, so I know what my workout will be before I join the call. He clearly demonstrates how to do each exercise when it’s new, and pinpoints how to improve my performance as we go (and he’s right every time - his seemingly minor corrections in what to focus on or how to move make a huge difference in the effectiveness/how I feel during the exercise).
In each session Mathew reminds me how much I was able to lift the previous time. He knows exactly when to encourage confidence that I can handle more weight, and at the same time can recognize when I need to pull back (or how to modify a move to finish when I’m tired) and never pushes me beyond what I can do.

The workouts he plans for each session are similar enough that I’m gaining confidence in a bit of routine and how to set up my equipment for the day, but different enough to keep them interesting. He is adaptable to plan my training session around any other workout routine I might do on my own/outside of training.
And lastly, I joke with him, many of the moves he chooses (particularly for abs) he has names for them that are very “Canadian” (lumberjack and canoe….)
I highly recommend working with Mathew if you want to have a good time, enjoy your exercise while having productive and safe workouts that you’ll notice your progress. More...

He designs a program to meet the specific fitness goals you have and supervises each session to focus on form. I am 63 and have osteoporosis so the supervision is what I was looking for. He is able to address any concerns I have during training sessions and provides options to modify a movement with the rationale for doing so. More...

Hi,
I’ve been working out with Matthew some months. He is hands down an excellent trainer. Guaranteed to make your goals happen.
He will keep you motivated and make it fun to be there. Great energy, pushes you positively to get a good job from your time there. More...

I want to start off by telling you that if your looking for a personal trainer don’t look any further. Mathew is your guy. I was always unsure of hiring a personal trainer at home over zoom till I started working with Mathew. I unfortunately came into the issue where all the gyms were closed and I was unsure of where and how to do it on my own. Also having the motivation to keep going is very hard as well. That’s when I decided to search for a personal trainer. I was not disappointed to say the least. He is very professional, patient and listens to help you the best way he can. If you are unable to make it to a session due to an emergency he is very understanding. He will assign the workouts based on your lifestyle and with you to ensure the best success rate possible. It’s also nice to have someone to help step by step as you learn different moves safely and efficiently. I highly recommend you go to him, so you too can look forward to your workouts each and every week you do them. More...
