Matt is simply the best. He is extremely knowledgeable in how to target each and every muscle. He's also creative at coming up with different exercises so it never becomes too routine. And if it weren't enough that he is top notch at his craft, he is an absolute pleasure to be around. I truly can't say enough good things - trite as it may sound, he's just the best. More...

Matthew has done a few stretch sessions with me and I always come out feeling great! He is a pleasure to talk to and takes the time to help you towards your goals. I never felt like I was being pushed too hard with Matthew (unlike other trainers I’ve worked with in the past). 10/10 would recommend. More...
Mel
Matt is not only one of the smartest trainers I know, but truly gives a sh*t and has a passion for health & fitness. He has such a deep understanding on exercise movement & technique down to the smallest detail, and gives great advice on nutrition & recovery. After every session I always walk away learning something new More...

Matt is an awesome PT. He is extremely knowledgeable about what the client is looking for / targeting. He was the best PT I have ever used - was patient and helped me reach my goals at my pace not his. Highly recommend
Dawn A
My daughter and I started working with Matt weekly in July of 2020 for stretch therapy and personal training and we couldn't be happier. I have back issues and my daughter is undergoing chemo treatments for cancer. Matt is extremely knowledgable with the body and understands how to modify his training to achieve optimal results. I have recommended Matt to all of my neighbors (some who were pregnant and others that are young, healthy runners) they were also very happy working with Matt. More...

Matt is the best trainer I have ever worked with. He doesn't only inspire me to work hard, he is just a fun and amazing person to be around. He really pays attention to form and asks the right questions. I look forward to my sessions with him every week. More...
Craig Berggren
I can't recommend Matt any more highly as a personal trainer. Having used Matt's services both in-gym and via Zoom/FaceTime, he is great at motivating, challenging, and being creative in our workout sessions. All with caring and humor. It feels so good to have such support, and without him I would never have been able to accomplish my fitness goals. Kudos Matt! More...

If you want to lose weight, transform your body and overall feel better about yourself then Matthew is your Personal Trainer. I have been working with him for over a year and half. I have lost over 30 pounds, toned my body and built up muscle strength. But most importantly, I feel really good about myself. Matthew pushes you hard but also has a great sense of humor so workouts fly by. He never gives up on improving your routine and making sure your body adapts well from diet to better stretching techniques. He is always there for you in-person to virtually. I can't say enough good things about Matthew. He definitely has gotten me through the Pandemic and will be my trainer for a very long time. More...
How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
My name is Matt Laurie and my philosophy focuses on continual education within the field of Exercise Science, which I will use to not only expand my own knowledge base, but to enhance the way of life of my clientele and those that surround them. By empowering my clients with the skills, exercise techniques, knowledge and support they need to reach the level of fitness they desire, as well as showing them the value of their own hard work on a daily basis, I know that a fun, long-lasting client-trainer relationship can be maintained for years to come.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Lots of Discipline, Lots of Sleep and Eating very well!
What do you love most about your job?
I love working with People and getting to know them/getting to the heart of why they are embarking on their own fitness journey. I also love the scheduling freedom, and having the free time to put towards building a plan for each of my clients.
What inspired you to start your own business?
I was inspired to start my own business because of was tired of the monotony of reporting to a gym 8 hours a day only to not make the money I deserved to make. I knew a change was needed.
Why should our clients choose you?
I feel I should be chosen because I am the perfect mix of a fun and enjoyable fitness experience combined with a little tough love. My goal is not to break you in half or over exert you but rather to take you to an uncomfortable place during your session where changes both mentally and physically can happen.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
I provide virtual services via Zoom or Facetime ! All sessions are 1 hr. in duration.
Nutrition Counseling
My Precision Nutrition certification allows me the opportunity to sit down with clients / prospective clients on a weekly basis to discuss what you’re eating now, what and how much you need to eat, and how I can best help you do that.
