Matthew is hands down the best trainer I have ever had. I wasn’t sure how to get back into a fitness routine after a long break and I found it all a bit daunting. 

I asked Matt if he had the space to take on a client who was a middle-aged woman, had never lifted weights in her life and whose basic goals were stamina, some weight loss/toning and figuring out a routine that was enjoyable and easy to fit into daily life. I had seen the massive difference he had made to my husband’s fitness and thought I would reach out. 


What I appreciated right away was Matt’s calm demeanour. He is knowledgeable and cheerful. He always manages to strike the perfect balance between being encouraging, while slowly and steadily dialling up the pressure so you push yourself to try harder and do better. I was lifting heavier weights, doing more push ups and longer planks than I thought was I was capable of. Not once did I feel embarrassed or inadequate (excuses I had previously used to drop out of classes/stop using other trainers).

Matt has really helped build my confidence. For the first time in a long time I actually knew what I was doing in the gym and I could really feel the difference. 

He is truly invested in his client’s success. Irrespective of your fitness level, prior narratives about your abilities, age, goals — Matt’s your guy.

I highly recommend Matthew as a personal trainer. His disciplined approach, genuine passion for health and fitness, and commitment to his clients deliver real results.

In just three months, he helped me lose 12 kg while getting stronger, fitter, and significantly improving my posture. Matthew practices what he preaches, leads by example, and knows how to push you in the right way to achieve your goals.

What really sets him apart is that he brings energy, positivity, and humour to every session, making training something I genuinely looked forward to.

If you’re looking for a knowledgeable, motivating, and results-driven trainer, Matthew is an excellent choice.

Matthew really knows his stuff. He sorted out my form, pushed me to go heavier when I was hesitant, and kept the sessions varied so they never got stale. Mix of weights and bodyweight work, and always pitched at the right level. Genuinely look forward to more training with him. Highly recommend!

Matthew changed my life. The way he took time to understand my goals and struggle and tailored each and every session to my needs is masterful. After a football injury, I never thought I’d be able to use my hip the same way again but through Matthew’s guidance, they’re regaining their function. Highly recommended

Training with Matthew at UP for the last 5 months has been a great experience and something I wish I had started sooner! In our first session we set clear goals whilst also considering my motivation behind these, and as I made progress we were able to update these goals and our training. Would definitely recommend to everyone!

Matthew is an excellent trainer!
When I started training with him I wanted to increase my power, particularly in my legs as I play football.
Over the last few months he's allowed me to feel faster, stronger and more explosive whilst playing football, which has allowed me to improve my performance but also make my day to day activities a lot easier as my coordination and overall mobility has improved as well!

Overall Matthew is not only an excellent trainer but a super friendly guy and someone who truly cares about you as a person and wants to see you become the best version of yourself.
I highly recommend him as trainer.

Ultimate Performance is an absolute game-changer! As a postpartum mum, I was nervous about getting back into fitness, but Matthew at UP made all the difference. His expertise, empathy, and encouragement helped me shed 12kgs and regain my confidence.

Not only did he tailor a programme to suit my needs, but he also pushed me to achieve things I never thought possible - like completing a HYROX competition! His knowledge and passion are inspiring and his support is unwavering.

If you're looking for a trainer who truly cares and will drive you to reach your goals, Matthew is the one. I'm forever grateful for his guidance and can't recommend him highly enough.

Mat is such an amazing and tailored PT I came into the gym not knowing a single thing and feeling really unconfident and now since training with Matthew that has all changed! I would highly recommend him

I had a great time training with Matthew. He is clearly very passionate and knowledgeable, and put in a load of time and effort to ensure he was providing a bespoke service, tailor-made to my specific goals and needs. Would definitely recommend!

I’m a 60 year old man and Matthew helped me get ready for my first HYROX and also set me up with a time-efficient and effective routine for strength and mobility - always constructive with his feedback and really helpful with advice on nutrition and workout alternatives.

So grateful for meeting Matthew and training with him. He's experienced, kind and super supportive.
Challenging me to push my limits in line with my goals.
Matthew also advised me on exercises to concentrate on outside of training sessions to help condition my arms against shaking during bench press etc. Top lad

Training with Matthew has been fantastic. He's customized a workout plan that feels complete and varied, making each session fun and effective. I'm now more confident at the gym and always leave feeling motivated and energized. I can see a great progress in my performance after only a couple of months. Highly recommend!

Matthew is an outstanding personal trainer.
Knowledgeable, friendly and with passion for his work and a true interest in helping you achieve your training goals. In my case he was able to pinpoint my weak spots and tailored an approach that works wonders for my very particular and specific needs of balancing strength with a full range of mobility.
Beyond his technical knowledge and expertise though, what I feel sets him apart is his ability to infuse enthusiasm and inspiration, motivating me towards work I have avoided for years.
I very highly recommend him.

Matthew is a really fun, approachable and friendly guy. He's given me new movements to incorporate into my workouts and some research based information which has helped me become more efficient in my time at the gym. And he's funny!
