About Matt
I’ve been part of the University of Bath and the Sports Training Village for more than 15 years, first as a student-athlete and now as a personal trainer and group exercise instructor. The Team Bath Gym has been my second home for much of my life and I’m proud to still hold the University record in javelin.
My approach to training is people-first. In both PT sessions and classes I create a welcoming environment where exercises are adapted to suit different abilities and help people progress safely and confidently, whether you’re new to the gym, returning after injury, balancing a busy schedule or looking to improve performance.
My work as a personal trainer is grounded in movement quality, biomechanics, and long-term progress. I focus on understanding how the body moves, identifying imbalances, improving technique and helpong people build confidence both in the gym and in everyday life.
I work with a wide range of people — students, staff, athletes and members of the public. Many of my clients and class members have trained with me for years, creating a strong and supportive gym community.
