Matthew's journey began in the dynamic world of gymnastics, where his passion for fitness was ignited at a young age. Competing in USAG age-group levels until the age of 17, he later shifted his focus towards coaching upper-level girls in gymnastics, dedicating 13 years to honing their skills. Alongside his coaching endeavors, Matthew remained committed to his personal fitness and health, devoting himself to intense workouts at the gym five times a week. In 2000, he obtained his personal trainer certification, further expanding his expertise in the realm of fitness. Seeking to once again showcase his acrobatic abilities in front of an audience, Matthew audaciously auditioned for Cirque du Soleil in 2002 and was successfully hired as a performer, skillfully blending his gymnastics background with his acquired fitness gains. Relocating to the vibrant city of New York in 2004, he has since wholeheartedly dedicated himself to training clients from diverse backgrounds. Matthew's clientele spans a wide spectrum, ranging from individuals aspiring to build muscle and increase size, to those striving to maintain an active and fit lifestyle. Moreover, he extends his expertise to senior clients, empowering them to remain active, mobile, and independent through tailored exercise programs.
