I'm a 62 year old man. I recently retired from a desk job for 38 years of sitting. Exercise was not in my vocabulary. Since retiring I found that being out of shape is slowing me down. I looked for exercise classes for seniors, since I couldn't find anything that interested me. The last thing I ever thought of was a personal trainer. I thought that type of routine would be too much for me. Matt has been in the area for years and I had seen his name mentioned. I took a chance and went and met Matt all the while I was thinking can I do this. Matt made me feel welcomed and comfortable. He asked me the most important question, do you have any old or new injuries? I explained I had a couple back surgeries and he definitely took that into consideration. So far my back is great and getting used to my routine Matt created for me. If you think like I did, I'm old and exercise will irritate my old broken body. Matt gives me the inspiration to step out of my old man safety zone. It feels great to be out of my comfort zone and I actually enjoy the after workout aches and pains, which makes me feel good about myself.Matt is very personable and knows his stuff. I noticed he keeps everyone working out in his vision, And if he notices us doing something wrong he will come over and correct me/us. I realize that if i did this on my own in a basement gym I would definitely be doing stuff that wouldInjure me, I'm very self conscious and I don't feel that way with Matt or other people working out.I would definitely tell people in my situation a personal trainer is a very good idea for mind and safety. I had no recommendations on a trainer going in and my choice of Matt was a great choice. I can't see anyone going wrong with Matt!John WaiteTewksbury, Ma More...

During the 6 week challenge, I lost 10 lbs. I like the format of the workouts because you come in, a list of exercises is written (Matt will demonstrate the ones you don’t know and recommend the appropriate weight), and once you complete 4 rounds of the list- you’re done. The atmosphere is welcoming and comfortable for pushing yourself. Most importantly, I gained the nutrition knowledge and confidence needed to achieve my goals. I’m glad I invested in myself and chose Optimal Fitness! More...

I’ve been training with Matt since January. I had surgery that cut through my abdominal muscles back in 2021. I hadn’t worked those muscles in a year and a half. I couldn’t even do a sit up in January. I can now do 10 and I have so much of my core strength back! Highly recommend Matt and his programs!! More...

I’ve been working with Matt at Optimal Fitness for a few years now and his workouts leave me feeling stronger and feeling better overall. I fell off the wagon for a bit and gain weight back, but I went right back to him in order to correct that. I instantly feel better and in less pain, and paired with his meal plans, I’m back on the right track! More...

Optimal fitness is an exceptional gym with great people and Matt is an awesome trainer. The best!!! Very knowledgeable and dedicated, he helped me start my fitness journey. I really wanted/NEEDED a change but I didn’t know where to begin. I was completely clueless :) It’s been over a year and all I can say is that I’m so proud of myself because of the awesome results - can’t believe how far I’ve come. It’s really a great feeling! My body is getting stronger and I feel (and look) great. So, thank you Matt :) More...

I’ve been working with Matt for about a month now and my experience so far has been great! Im currently signed up for personal training sessions. Although it’s only been a month, I can already feel the progress. I have more energy overall and I can get through sets without feeling like I’m going to faint (a huge accomplishment for me). Matt is professional, non judgmental, and low-key (which is awesome for me, I don’t feel overwhelmed by too much information). We are going at my pace, which I really appreciate. Thanks for all your help so far, Matt. Looking forward to continuing to work with you. More...

How do you help your clients achieve their fitness goals?
I am committed to helping my clients become the best versions of themselves through exercise and living healthier lifestyles. My knowledge and strong passion for fitness are a direct reflection of my clients achieving their personal fitness as well as mental, goals.
What’s the secret to getting the body of your dreams?
Focus, commitment, and willpower are the three traits someone needs to have before they can their dream body. Believe it or not, looking that good is not primarily made in the gym. Your mentality outside of the gym needs to change before you can get the mentality inside of the gym.
What do you love most about your job?
The thing I love most about my job is helping people and knowing I made a huge difference in someones life.
Why should our clients choose you?
If the client wants a trainer that has the perfect balance of empathy and structure. I have found throughout the years that those two traits combined help the person always achieve what they set out to do.
Can you provide your services online or remotely? If so, please add details.
Like one-on-one training in person, you can get workouts tailored to your goals and fitness level. You share your goals and experience with exercise in the app and we will formulate a plan, creating a custom nutrition and exercise plan to follow. You can then send messages back and forth about how the workouts are, what is and isn’t working for you, and how your progress is going. This particular form of training is perfect for someone always on the go or someone who is too far of a distance to meet face to face.
What changes have you made to keep your customers safe from Covid-19?
We follow all CDC guidelines whether we meet at my gym or at your home. These include:
1. Hand sanitizer and disposable wipes are placed abundantly throughout the space for workers and customers to disinfect their hands and equipment before and after use.
2. Trainers are required to wash hands before and after each training session and sanitize frequently during each session.
3. All equipment must be sanitized between uses. No equipment shall be used by another customer or returned to the storage rack / container without being sanitized.
4. Clients are encouraged to use one piece of equipment at a time (e.g., limit circuit training or “super sets” with multiple pieces of equipment) in order to facilitate required sanitizing.
5. Clients must wear masks when entering and leaving the building.
6. During sessions, if a client is retrieving a piece of equipment for use, masks must be on.
7. While working out in their own personal workspace at a high level of intensity, clients can take the mask partially off to facilitate breathing then must put it back on. Immediately after exercising, that particular workspace must be immediately sanitized.
