Fantastic experience: Matthew is incredibly knowledgable, patient and supportive. I hadn't had much experience of using weights, before the Strength Shack, but he tailored the sessions specifically around me. Whatever level you’re at, he instinctively knows what works best for you.

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Matthew for 12 months and in that time have seen real gains in terms of mobility and strength. The programme has been tailored to help with my specific training needs and I have enjoyed training each week.

Fantastic experience: Matt has been training me for 18 months and, at age 48, I have massively increased my PBs for the three powerlifting disciplines. He has a strong emphasis on flexibility and achievable rates of progress. Most importantly, I haven't picked up a single injury. Highly recommended.
