Welcome to Revenant Fitness

I have persistent chronic injuries from either overuse or acute trauma from previous years. Things got so bad that by summer 2023, I stopped all forms of exercise--devastating for someone who had been very active all their life (I'm 34). I came to Matt in the summer of 2024, knowing I needed to start moving again. My body was becoming worse in other ways from inactivity, but I had developed a lot of fear around moving--fear of triggering pain and aggravating old injuries (hamstring tendinosis and two bulging discs being the main ones). I wanted to work with someone who understood these issues, who could guide me physically and mentally, and help me rebuild my strength in a slow and safe way.

Matt put me at ease during the consultation. For the first few weeks, we took it easy, trying out different movements to monitor how my body responded and to relax my nervous system when trying new things. After a few months, my confidence grew, my strength increased, and my booty grew (woohoo!!). Overall, I just feel a lot better. I had also been nervous about being in a gym--it felt overwhelming since I didn't know the equipment and it was all new to me (my previous activities were various sports outside of a gym). Now I love it! I've learned so much from Matt, and I enjoy working out in the gym anytime I want. I also have the confidence and knowledge to work out on my own outside of PT sessions. Thank you, Matt!

My motivation to start personal training was to improve my strength and bone health. From day one, it was clear that Matt really cares about his clients and the journey they're on. Matt provided expert training tailored to my particular needs, considering that I have a previous back injury and ongoing health problems. But that's only part of the holistic approach he takes. He is very knowledgeable about nutrition, human biology, and mental well-being too. Matt is always respectful and supportive, but he will push you--in the nicest way--to achieve your potential. Matt is dedicated to helping improve the physical and mental health of his clients and goes above and beyond to do so. Thank you, Matt, I really appreciate your commitment!

I had been battling with sensitive knees and back for quite a few years. I tried everything on my own, but my condition stayed the same. As a last resort, I decided to work on making my muscles stronger and started with Matt in August 2024. He knew my condition and made sure I didn't hurt my knees or back. By this, I don't mean he was soft on me--he made me do exercises I never imagined I could do and gave me the confidence that I can do it all. He reviewed my diet, explained what was right and wrong, and taught me the importance of protein and "real food." I even went on vacation during this time and was scared I'd lose all my progress. However, Matt guided me on food choices and exercise while away, and I returned without gaining a pound. Now, after two months, my knees are stronger than ever, I've lost nine pounds, and I feel fitter and stronger than ever. If he catches you in the gym doing something unsafe, he'll point it out even if it's not a training day. Matt's guidance truly does justice to the term "Personal Trainer."

Having Mathew as my personal trainer has given me a new perspective on my fitness journey. I was a regular gym-goer before, but since training with Mathew, I've learned so much about exercise and food. Not only has he tailored a program to meet my needs, but he also provides nutritional guidance, coaches me, and pushes me to hit my goals and break new limits. Mathew has his clients' best interests at heart, and I wouldn't want to train with anyone else.

Mat's deep understanding of the "why" behind every exercise makes training purposeful and effective. He's incredibly motivating, always pushing me to achieve more, but remains friendly and approachable. Mat regularly checks in, ensuring I stay on track, and has been instrumental in helping me approach nutrition with the right intentions. His valuable guidance complements my training. His commitment to my progress is unmatched, and I couldn't ask for a better coach!

Matt is the first PT I've worked with, and he's fantastic! He understood my goals and tailored a plan to fit them. He's incredibly knowledgeable and can explain not just how to perform exercises, but why. He also sees what you're capable of, even if you don't, which is so motivating when you achieve something you didn't think was possible. I cannot recommend him enough.

Working with Mathew has transformed my fitness journey. His dedication and expertise create a program that constantly evolves to help me reach my goals and push my limits. Each session is tailored to my needs, helping me break through plateaus and stay challenged. Mathew's nutrition guidance has optimized my food timing, allowing me to make better choices and significantly boost my energy levels during training. I truly appreciate his support and commitment to my success. With Mathew's coaching style, I couldn't recommend him more.
