My boxers:

I’ve prepped boxers
for 30+ fights so far...

Would recommend anyone to do this.
I lack confidence in a gym
environment and was so nervous at
the thought of being anywhere
people could see me. Matt totally
built me up with boxing & free
weights, both things I’d never done
before. With his amazing attitude I
was soon working through combos
and have a good understanding of
weight training.


  • I might never step in a ring but
    Matt will make sure you believe
    you could!

Michael Banfi

Could’t ask for a better coach to be
working with. Getting me back to a
stage where I can push past limits
with clear explanations of the
mechanics balanced with real
experience, knowledge and expertise
and have a good laugh whilst doing
so.

  • Matt is a genuine all round PT who
    I highly recommend working with.

Rich Topley

I’ve been working with Matt for 3
years. I LOVE my boxing and weights
sessions. Matt is a fab coach. He
pushed you without you realising he’s
pushing you! I laugh my way through
every session. I’d highly recommend
him.


  • If you’re considering this- go for
    it! You won’t regret it.
