“He’s the difference between staying in bed, struggling to keep my job - I was in a bad place - and now looking better than most people my age…I can’t believe it. My coordination and balance was bad, but those have improved too. I hope to play with some acrobatic tricks in the future. It’s unbelievable for me to say this! The benefits are too long to list. I never imagined being able to get stronger, but mostly to look like I don’t have any illness (ankylosing spondylitis) at all.”

“From the first moment it was play play play. All Matt does is give suggestions on how I can enjoy the sensations of working out even more. I had no idea I could relax so much during a workout and yet feel so ‘worked out’ by the end of it. ”

“Matt has gone above and beyond what I wanted to get out of personal training, and I’m very appreciative of the time he spends preparing and reviewing my goals. I was stiff as a board before I started training with Matt, and within two sessions felt much looser and more mobile, and within 4 sessions have no more pain in my back or shoulders that I had been dealing with for six to eight months.”

“Matt is an exceptional fitness trainer who is well rounded and full of knowledge...I’ve been working with him for about a month and a half, I’ve noticed a significant difference in my posture and strength...I enjoy working with him, he is full of energy and fun to work with.”

“Coach Matt is fun, passionate, and knowledgeable. He has a trained eye for the human body and how to improve movement, increase flexibility, and relieve pain. Training with Coach Matt is always a fun time because of his attitude. I highly recommend spending your time with him, you won’t regret it.”

“Off the Bench Fitness is the best way to change one’s mindset toward exercise!! With genuine interest in my intrinsic motivations for achieving healthy change, Matt went above and beyond other trainers I’ve worked with to transform my often punitive approach to working out and helped me create a healthy, sustainable attitude. Matt carried me through a tough transition when working out and juggling other facets of life just felt like too much. I can honestly say that Matt’s approach, which goes beyond purely physical milestones, is a game-changer for the fitness industry. Not to mention the invaluable information he has related to healthy posture and movement. I loved working with him and recommend him to anyone who actually wants to enjoy their fit life!”

“When I first sought out an exercise trainer, I was in a lot of pain from a car accident, and afraid that I would never be able to get back in shape. I was depressed, and scared to even bend over.
After only 2 months or working with Matt, I am able to move more now than I have been able to in over 2 years! He is thoroughly knowledgeable, easy to work with, and understands the body.
If you are looking for someone who is compassionate and want a trainer who will work with your injuries and put you on a progressive path to success, Matt is your guy!”
