Outside the Gym: When he’s not coaching, you’ll usually find Matt swimming, walking his dog, grappling, boxing, meeting new people, or learning new skills.
Interesting Fact: Before qualifying as a personal trainer, Matt spent a year studying animal care and worked with a variety of fascinating animals, including lizards, emperor scorpions, pythons, and Goliath bird-eating spiders. If he hadn’t chosen a career in fitness, he’d probably be somewhere else in the world working with different species of snakes—they’re one of his favourite animals!
