Billerica, Marblehead, Middlesex
I am A.C.E. Certified and have been personal training for over ten years with a B.S. in Exercise Science. I just recently left my gym of six years where I was the master trainer, to start my own business, Optimal Fitness, with the hope of branching out to more people.

Matt is someone that you will want in your corner cheering you on as you obtain your fitness goals! He keeps you accountable and drives you to success. Always willing to answer questions and demonstrate proper form, Matt truly cares about the whole individual. He is always looking for new and fun ways to engage his clients; you'll never get bored as no two training sessions are the same. I highly recommend Matt as a trainer! You won't regret it! More...

I wanted to take a moment and write a review of Matt Quigley and Optimal Fitness. I am not a person who typically writes a review, but nowadays, I feel that people make some of their decisions based off of other peoples reviews. I know that before I joined Tewksbury Sports Club and signed up for personal training classes with Matt, I did look at the reviews and I did speak with other members of TSC that have worked out with Matt. What I got was, Matt is an awesome trainer and a great person. In September I met with Matt and made the decision that I wanted to work out with him. I have now been working out with Matt for 2 months and am down approximately 10 pounds and feeling healthier. Matt is an exceptional trainer!! He is always positive. He explains the exercises you are doing, and why you are doing them. After reading other members reviews, I can see why Matt is highly respected and liked. He is good at what he does, he is a great person, and he genuinely cares and wants to see you succeed!. If I was asked on a scale of 1 to 10 how would I rate Matt, I would say 20!!! More...

I have been working out for many years that always included using gym equipment, taking classes including spinning and running. I am one to say, I've tried it all! However, it wasn't until I began working with Matt's personal training, Burn classes and the Optimal Fitness program that I saw my fitness level and body actually change to become stronger and healthier. A knowledgeable trainer and a great group of people to work out with. Highly recommended! More...

If someone told me that I’d be in the shape I’m in at almost 50, I would never have believed them. I thought I was “fit” and in shape and then I met Matt Quigley. He pushes you beyond your boundaries and transforms you into the best you, you can be. More...
Lisa Gray-Roberts
Even with my busy schedule of 2 jobs and 2 teenagers this group of people at Optimal Fitness continue to keep me motivated to workout whenever I can. They provide videos of exercises to do at home, podcasts where you can ask your questions on nutrition and fitness, share stories and provide overall support! Matt Quigley and the crew inspire me every day to continue to be my best! #tscburn#optimalfitness More...

Joyce Poulin-Post
Matt is a great trainer. Every time I say "I can't do that" he simply says "Yes you can" And I find out he is right! He pushes me and takes no excuses. His Burn groups are fun but yet challenging. He is always switching it up and finding new workouts so you never get bored. The people in the Burn group are simply great! The Burn Groups are full of fun, laughs, support and encouragement. His nutrition program provides a lot of great information. I am soon to be 52 and feeling the best I ever have thanks to Matt! More...
Shauna Davis
Don’t waste your time or money. Mr. Quigley is a poor trainer. Not only does he fail to correct clients’ form, he himself is out of shape and fails to practice what he preaches. Look elsewhere.
Annette MacMullin
Matt is a great personal trainer! He doesn't give up on you even when you have given up on yourself. He knows our struggles and works with everyone and their individual needs. He expects hard work and once you begin working with him, you'll want to give it every bit you have (even when he says "one more" and you think you can't do it....you will!) His sessions are always challenging but very rewarding. More...
Kristen Gagne
I strongly recommend joining Optimal Fitness! Matt devotes his heart and time for his clients until each and everyone is satisfied. After each class or session you walk out feeling your best and look forward to another! The best part is not only working out, however you get laugh and be yourself. 5 STARS ALL THE WAY More...

I’ve been with Optimal Fitness for 6 months and I couldn’t be happier with the progress I’ve made!
Patricia Brown
Matt is a phenomenal instructor! He’s taken extra time with me to show me proper technique so I get the most out of my sessions. The training is always tough but that’s what you want. Someone who challenges your boundaries and makes you see that you are capable of more. Thank you Matt four your patience, sense of humor and your efforts to bring out the best in me. More...
Sharon MacEachern
Great class tonight! Always feeling the burn with Optimal Fitness. Matt Quigley’s the best.
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.
In-Home Personal Training
Don't feel comfortable at the gym or don't have the means to get there? Great! I'll come to you. I will bring all the equipment needed.
Personal Training
We will assess your bodily strengths and weaknesses and create customized workout plans. We provide physical and mental guidance and monitor your progress on a regular basis. We also give you the most important aspect of trying to create a healthy lifestyle which is accountability.
