It's time to focus on what actually matters: building a STRONG AND HEALTHY BODY!
Build confidence, improve your health, and live the life you want!
Beginning at the age of 30, you lose 3-8% of your muscle mass each decade - and it speeds up even more after the age of 60!
Too often, the focus of your health and wellness is solely on fat loss and rapid transformations.
But have you ever considered what kind of life you actually want? Imagine shifting your perspective to something more meaningful—improving your quality of life and living life free of restrictions!
Strength training and cardio are often seen as ways to lose fat and build your dream body. While these activities contribute to that, they shouldn’t be the main focus. What happens when you reach your goal?
The key to a sustainable lifestyle change is realizing there is no pause button. It’s about creating the lifestyle that allows for optimal health and happiness!
Building a strong body free of physical limitations gives you the freedom to live the life you want.
Imagine saying "Yes" to hiking or running a 5k with friends or even chasing your grandkids around, fully present and in the moment - and you're running circles around them!
Strength, endurance and stamina improves every aspect of life and is the key to living life the way you want!

Why You NEED To Start Building Lean Muscle And Get Stronger NOW!
- You start losing muscle around the age of 30. 🤯 On average, youlose around 3%-8% each decade… and then it speeds up after you turn 60. The sooner start building your muscle “bank,” the better!
- You’ll build stronger bones! You lose about 1% of your bone mass PER YEAR after the age of 40. Strength training helps to boost your bone density and cut the risk of osteoporosis and fractures so you can age with grace.
- It can help you manage chronic conditions! Strength training can help you reduce risk of arthritis, chronic pain, heart disease, depression, diabetes, and obesity, to name a few.
- Improve your metabolism and body composition! With every weight loss diet you go on, you are likely losing muscle as well, especially if you aren't strength training. This makes fat loss more difficult long term. Strength training builds lean muscle (giving you that toned look) and speeds up your metabolism!
- It can help sharpen your thinking. Studies link regular strength training and aerobic exercise with better brain function!
- Improve your quality of life! Strength training isn't easy, but strength training makes every aspect of your life easier! Strength training improves your balance and protects your joints from injury.

Meet A Few Of Our Strong Clients:
I had a goal to summit my 4th 14er (a mountain with a peak above 14,000 ft). Coach Liz set up my macros and training schedule to get me in the best physical condition I could be and it worked! We worked on increasing strength and lung capacity. This mountain was the easiest I’ve done to date physically and mentally. It was so great working with Coach Liz, she always listened and answered any questions I had and knew just how to push me when I needed it!
Liz Wolff
My coach Kristin and I immediately connected as we worked through my goals to not only lose weight but build muscle as part of a recomp. She created varied, easy to follow workouts based on what I equipment I had available and around my busy schedule. She also helped me prioritize my macros while giving me tips to help fuel this transformation. Over the course of our time together I lost and have maintained a 20 lb drop on the scale while adding a nearly identical amount of weight in muscle as well. Grateful for the knowledge she has shared and our time together!

I started with Matt and his team just under a year ago, I did one on one coaching for 6 months and then continued with workout designs. What I learned from the experience is how to design a good workout plan for strength training..but more importantly how to have a better relationship with food and myself. I have always had a "goal" weight number in mind. But honestly what Matt has taught me is to really look at overall health such as strength improving, better sleep, more movement, controlling portions and eating the foods that you love in moderation! I can say for the first time if I don't ever reach my "goal" weight or loose these last 20 pounds, I am ok because I feel my strongest, and more confident in my body now then I ever was! Everyone on the team is very helpful and always willing to help! Thank you so much for the help and support!!! Will always be fan!

I am a woman in my 50s grappling with the type of health issues that come with middle age; high blood pressure, prediabetes and a sedentary lifestyle coupled with a very healthy appetite for food! I was steadily gaining weight over the years. My "why" was to wear a bikini for the first time in my life.
Personal trainers on TikTok are a dime a dozen. What set Matt apart from the crowd was his common sense approach to health and wellness and his shoot-from-the hip advice which I found very relatable. It was a good fit. My strength has more than doubled. My blood pressure is down significantly. I have the tools to maintain my healthy and positive lifestyle changes, such as nutrition and my strength training regimes. Matt has a way of making me proud even of my smallest accomplishments. I am no longer alone, spinning my wheels and hoping for the best. I have a game plan and plenty of support from Matt and his team to help me get that bikini body !

My experience with Matt’s coaching and the fitness app was for about 12 weeks. Matt was very helpful with providing feedback and support to get a better understanding of muscles and how they are affected with each movement we did. The app is a great tool with helpful videos that I could pop in and out of while working out for the form examples. It allowed me to see where my tolerance for increased weight was improving. I have noticed a lot of subtle but exciting improvements in my body strength that will only get better and help me improve my running and overall health. Thanks Matt!
