Testimonials
I am 66 years old. When I
first met Matt a year ago, I was in terrible shape - and felt like it.
I have been working with him about twice a week. In this past year, I
lost twenty-two pounds of body fat, and gained 15 pounds of muscle
tissue. I went to the Dr. today for a check up. Thirteen months ago, my blood
pressure was 150/86 - with medication. Today it was 120/60. Then, my
heart rate was 86. Now, it is 64.
I do not believe it to be an exaggeration to say that he has added years to my life. He has not only probably improved the quantity of that life, but the quality. I recommend his services without hesitation or reserve.

I have had three surger ies for cancer. I have arthritis in my knees and hands. I have fibromyalgia, and I used to get severe leg cramps at night. I am a 76 year old woman, and weigh 108 pounds - a little old lady.
When I went to Matt in March of 2007, I felt fragile and a little bit afraid of being hurt.
Now, after ten months, I have to thank Matt for giving my life back to me. I only use about 15 minutes of my husband's time twice a week. My most painful problem - the leg cramps - is all but gone. I stand up straighter and feel so much stronger and better generally. I no longer feel so fragile, but Matt always treats me like a china doll. He explains the purpose of every exercise before I do it, and watches me like a mother hen.
I have so much to be grateful to Matt for, but the loveliest thing is having a caring and kind new friend.

I have worked out with many trainers and Matt is by far the most accommodating and precise in meeting my exact training needs. His workouts vary on each visit so I don’t get bored and he knows how to push me to my limits without injury. Matt knows nutrition, flexibility and conditioning and is a great all around athletic resource. I can’t say enough great things about Matt and recommend him wholeheartedly.

I have early stage Parkinson's. Exercise is a must for this disease. Matt has customized my training, while being aware of my limitations. He is always well prepared for each session and presents me with a great deal of variety to make the hour go by quickly. In the past, I would never stick to an exercise program; however, with Matt's warm personality and dedication to his field, I want to say that I actually look forward to the workout. He is also the trainer for my family, covering the ages from 18 to 70. The four of us agree on this one subject: we give Matt Charles an A+.

Matt is an amazing trainer! I had plateaued with my eating and exercise plan and had become frustrated. On the verge of giving up, I started training with Matt. Within a few sessions I was losing weight again and gaining muscle like I never had before. Thanks to Matt’s knowledge of nutrition, I was able to fine-tune an eating plan that helped me lose body fat rapidly. He constantly changed up my routine to keep things interesting and made every workout fun (who knew that was possible!)
Since I had never worked with a trainer before Matt, I always had a lot of questions. His up-to-date knowledge of supplements, exercise techniques and nutrition trends and information constantly impressed me. He also gave me tips and advice that I could apply when I hit the gym to workout on my own or couldn’t make it to a session.
I would recommend Matt to anyone interested in results. His friendly, practical and inventive approach to training will keep you on track and headed toward your goals, whether those are weight loss, muscle building, increased energy…or all of them! Thanks to Matt, I am in the best physical shape of my life. The increase in confidence allowed me to compete in my first 50-mile bike tour…with many more to follow!

Talk about a BODY sculpture... Wow! Working with Matt has not only been fabulous for the way I look but how I feel about me and how I feel about my life and the world. He is so knowledgeable about the body and has helped in the rehab after a major car wreck. He knows how to treat every part of the body to assure it is protected from harm as well as how to get optimal results. I have never been so happy. His support through the rough times as well as nutritionally has brought me to a place that not only have I reached my goals, but have maintained them for 5 months. He is an amazing man!
