MCT Fitness

Fantastic experience: I’ve really enjoyed the past few sessions with Matt who’s super helpful and encouraging. He puts on great range of fitness activities which you can do at your own pace. A real friendly bunch of people to work out with too.

Fantastic experience: Me and my husband recently started MCT Fitness Classes and we love them! Such a great bunch of people and no class is the same. You can work at your own pace and Matt is really helpful during the classes, he makes workouts enjoyable, thank you! Would recommend to anyone ⭐️

Fantastic experience: I’ve been attending bootcamp & trail run conditioning sessions with Matt from MCT Fitness for a month now & have to say it’s been a very positive experience, Matt carefully explains all exercises & encourages us to get the maximum benefit from each session, this along with sensible nutritional advise has already resulted in 1/2 stone of weight loss & a noticeable increase in fitness levels, would definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: Matt was my trainer for around 6 months. Our hybrid training sessions were incredibly effective, allowing me to balance workouts at the gym with in person sessions. I saw significant progress during our time together, both in my fitness levels and overall confidence. Matt's expertise not only helped me improve my strength and technique, but he also took the time to educate me about training principles, which has been invaluable. I now feel much more knowledgeable and empowered to continue my fitness journey on my own. Additionally, Matt provided excellent support regarding my diet and habit formation. His guidance in these areas has made a lasting impact, and I know I'll be using the strategies he taught me long after our sessions have ended. If you're looking for a trainer who is dedicated, knowledgeable, and supportive, Matt is the perfect choice!

Fantastic experience: Great workouts, would highly recommend!!

Fantastic experience: Matt is a great trainer, very personal and holistic approach. Great at getting you stronger!

Fantastic experience: I have been training with Matt for the past 3 months. When I first started I thought I would be getting an hour of strength training per week, however it's much more than that. Matt has helped me with my nutrition, giving me a calorie target range and ideas how to achieve this, including help with macros. We have weekly check ins either face to face or online, where we can discuss my progress or any difficulties I may have had over the previous week. I now have a much healthier attitude towards food, making better choices. Matt has an app where food and training is logged, I can use this app any time to ask questions about my training or nutrition. Matt is a first class coach, I feel I have progressed so much with my strength training and I have learnt so much from him, Matt will always correct form, if needed, ensuring I am performing the exercise safely and correctly, I started with Matt already having an injury, he has adapted exercises as necessary, he has also helped with my recovery, this is due to his in depth knowledge of how the body works. I would definitely recommend MCT fitness, Matt is invested in you and getting the best from you.

Fantastic experience: I have so far done two of Matt's circuits classes and have thoroughly enjoyed them both. Matt was really welcoming and explained how it all worked and each exercise really clearly.

Fantastic experience: Update: So I’ve been part of Matt’s troop for 10 sessions now. Matt has helped me build up my fitness to the point I’ve started doing his trail runs on a Saturday morning as well, like his circuits the runs are also first class. Different scenic location each week and caters for differing levels of fitness (although a base fitness is required). Circuits continue to be varying and challenging. I’ve genuinely never met Matt before this and stumbled across him on Instagram of all places, he’s great at his job and if you’re considering getting fit (and having fun doing it) to give his classes a go. Matt at MCT fitness is first class. After getting some pretty unrealistic prices for circuits elsewhere I stumbled across MCT fitness in West Kirby. I’m 46 with a rapidly growing dad bod. I went down, Matt was very welcoming as were the rest of the troop. It was full of like minded people who wanted to get fit but do it whilst having fun. No Gym bunnies in sight! I’ve been to two sessions so far, both have been varied, challenging and most importantly fun! Matt is on hand to make sure your ‘form’ is correct to make sure you make the most of the session.

Fantastic experience: A good all round physically challenging experience which is also good fun

Fantastic experience: I’ve been training with Matt for many years from boxing to trail running and for the last 9 months strength training. Due to a childhood osteo condition in my knees Matt adapted exercises and worked on building strength to support my knees and I don’t suffer pain. Highly recommended if you want personal training, not just physical training.

Fantastic experience: I have the pleasure of being coached by Matt on a one to one basis. He is a fountain of knowledge and really cares about you as an individual. He advises on sleep and nutrition as well as devising your own custom made fitness plan. He's absolutely brilliant.

Fantastic experience: I’m a newbie to the Troop Trail runs on Tuesdays & Saturdays but am really enjoying the classes. Matt certainly knows how to get the best out of you, yet is very motivational & allows you to judge your own pace & how much you want to push yourself. The variation in location, terrain & body weight circuit exercises is great to keep things fresh & fun! There’s a great ethos amongst the class & everyone has been so welcoming! I’d highly recommend it!

Fantastic experience: I'm a recent joiner, two group sessions under my belt at West Kirby School and really enjoying it. Great mix of exercises, Matt creates a fun atmosphere and you're not pushed to go for the burn. Challenging but achievable and the hour flies by. Strongly recommend for anyone wanting to notch their fitness level up or maintain an existing good level of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Enjoyed my first session. Great circuits, engaging group and good fun. Highly recommend this for anyone looking to boost fitness and achieve a routine

Fantastic experience: Good all round fitness program. Each class is varied. Great instructor and friendly participants.

Fantastic experience: I have been doing the SLF (Stronger Leaner Fitter) group sessions with Matt in West Kirby for the past 4 weeks and have been really enjoying them. I am reasonably active and have enjoyed running and cycling and playing sports but as I get older I realise the importance of needing core strength work to help prevent injuries and other problems. I can't motivate myself to go to the gym and I love being outdoors so these sessions are perfect for me - I only wish I'd started doing them sooner! Thanks Matt, I am looking forward to further improvements and a stronger leaner fitter future!!

Fantastic experience: My wife has been to MCT classes for around 3years. After recently suffering a mild heart attack I decided to see Matt regarding diet and nutrition. He was able to explain things to me so that I could understand and change my dietary requirements going forwards. Matt is extremely knowledgeable in all aspects of the the human body and nutritional requirements. I now feel more confident in what types of food I am able to eat. I have lost weight steadily and Matt has explained what types of exercise to incorporate with my new lifestyle. Matt is an excellent life coach and I would highly recommend him.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined the weekly MCT sessions with Matt and I'm thoroughly enjoying the experience. If you're looking to improve your fitness, the group classes are a great way to work out and meet other people. The group are very friendly and Matt is a great trainer. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend MCT Fitness to others.

Fantastic experience: I got in touch with Matt after running my first marathon. I asked about a niggly knee and if his Monday and Wednesday classes would help sort this out. The classes are well structured, always different and leave you feeling as if you have had worked really hard but not too hard. The strength training is helping my knee and I'm hoping to try the troop runs soon. Every session is different and everyone who goes is really friendly. Absolutely would recommend Matt and his expertise.

Fantastic experience: I have recently joined troop trail and already I am loving the weekly runs. The group are friendly and the run itself gives a little bit of variance from normal road running with a bit of body weight exercises thrown in the mix during the run. As a coach Matt is friendly and approachable ensuring the group is covered at the front and the back. The pace and distance is good and I am enjoying either an evening run to finish off the day or a Saturday morning run to start the day. Would definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Very approachable and friendly. Perfect for those who don't want to be stuck inside a gym!

Fantastic experience: Matt is very knowledgeable about the Human body and knows exactly what is needed to reach individual goals! His PT sessions are never the same and the variety was really enjoyable! I thoroughly enjoyed all Of my sessions and Matt helped me reach my goals , I even climbed Ben Nevis with no problems after a few months of PT sessions I would highly recommend Matt

Fantastic experience: I have known Matt for a number of years now through attending his troop trail groups and at Christmas I started an 8 week PT course. I decided after having 2 children with a very small age gap that I owed it to myself and my body to properly get back into shape and get back to feeling like me again. Matt started the whole program off with a nutrition session, where we looked at my relationship with food and exercise and where we mapped out my short term, medium term and long term goals, focusing primarily on how I wanted to feel. Matt made great suggestions about how to track my progress and suggested setting myself some non-negotiables that were realistic to suit my lifestyle, but also challenging enough to bring about the changes that I wanted to see. Along with all of this he set my calorie deficit and protein totals, which allowed me to stay on track myself. All of the sessions with Matt were fun, amazingly structured and challenging and he was so in tune with the progress that I was making and how far to push me each week. Matt was so supportive and non-judgmental throughout the whole process and was always able to come up with suggestions and ideas to combat any hurdles along the way. I genuinely thought that being coached meant that I would receive a meal plan and an exercise plan, which would be quite prescriptive, however it has been so much more than that. I've made so much progress physically, mentally and also with the informed food choices that I am now able to make. I feel so educated now, and empowered to continue with everything that I have learnt from Matt. Having Matt as a PT totally isn't a luxury, it's an investment in yourself right now and your future self. I would highly recommend investing in a PT program with Matt!

Fantastic experience: Matt at MCT Fitness always makes the workouts challenging but fun to suit all abilities whilst understanding your fitness goals. Matt has plenty of experience and expertise in the industry as well as a passion for helping people get fit and healthy, in body and mind with excellent nutritional advice too. I have been with MCT Fitness for 5 years, it has given me great confidence as well as teaching correct form and technique. More recently, Matt has gone above and beyond. Struggling with peri menopause, this was impacting my health and motivation. Matt would occasionally check-in or offer messages of support and encouragement which were very much appreciated - After returning to MCT, my motivation has returned, this has had huge benefits for my overall well-being - it’s good to be back at class. Thanks so much Matt!

Fantastic experience: Great class, great troop.Matt’s very knowledgeable about the fitness techniques. I really enjoy working out in a group in outdoor setting.

Fantastic experience: Matt has been doing personal training sessions with my 12 year old son on a weekly basis to work on his strength and conditioning. They are fun, challenging in a good way and well planned to suit his needs. My son really enjoys them and looks forward to them and he's making really good progress..

Fantastic experience: I’ve recently moved to the Wirral and was looking for somewhere I could go to carry on with my fitness journey. I’d previous been to a boot camp and came across MCT Fitness by chance on FB and it just what I was looking for. I was a bit nervous and apprehensive going to my first session, but I shouldn’t have been as everyone was friendly, I wasn’t made to feel like the ‘newbie’ and Matt was very good at making sure I was doing the exercises correctly. Matt made the session fun and I felt as though I’d had a thorough workout. I’m now going to boot camp twice a week and have started to notice a difference in my fitness already. MCT fitness has been a great find!

Fantastic experience: If your looking for a PT who cares about your fitness journey then Matt is the PT. I have had weekly PT sessions with Matt for the past 3 months and he is focused on helping me achieve my goals. My lifting has progressively improved over the short time I have been working with him and importantly, he has massivly corrected and improved my technique. I would highly recommend Matt to anyone looking for a highly qualified personal trainer. Matt is the best PT I have worked with.

Fantastic experience: I love these classes. They're really helping improve my fitness and Matt makes them good fun. Great variety of exercises and love that its outdoors. Everyone that goes are really friendly too. I would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Walking through Matt's door is the best thing I've ever done. Really rounded approach to personal training and much more than I was expecting. I've had great results so far and more importantly this is a sustainable change. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Matt has been amazing helping me build my confidence and reach my goals through weekly PT sessions. He is very friendly and approachable. PT sessions built based on your preferences. Would recommend!

Fantastic experience: Been to a good few sessions now and Matt the coach is really helpful and the group are all really friendly. Makes it easier, fun and a great place to work out. I would definitely recommend giving it a go and hopefully see you there.

Fantastic experience: Great circuit training, challenging and matt is brilliant at keeping the group focused and pushing us. Brilliant friendly atmosphere also great bunch of people. Makes getting fit fun!

Fantastic experience: I have been doing PT sessions with MCT Fitness for ~3 years and have been really pleased with the improvement in my strength, fitness and body shape. Recently, I have been looking to reduce my weight further. Matt gave me the advice (calorie targets, practical/achievable goals and nutritional info) that has enabled me to loss about a pound per week over 10 weeks. I find Matt very supportive, knowledgeable and highly recommend his PT sessions.

Fantastic experience: Fantastic first session, we felt very welcome! Matt is very knowledgeable and helpful - we can’t wait for the next one!

Fantastic experience: Great work out - classes are a mixture of HIT and picturesque runs.

Fantastic experience: From day 1 Matt has supported my training and nutrition programme in a supportive and positive way. Coming back from a broken ankle, I was unsure how to train & move without fear of pain. He provided varied workouts, all adaptable for 1-1 and to do at home. This was backed up by regular check ins and discussions around my short and long term goals. His nutritional knowledge is superb and Mat’s non judgemental approach has really helped me to question my own relationship around food and exercise. I have seen weight loss, measurements reduced, and stronger and better form when training, with regained ankle and muscle movement. But most of all, I have gained confidence in myself and my decisions. Thoroughly recommend :)

Fantastic experience: Matt has been absolutely amazing with helping me build up fitness for my Army Basic Training. Not only helped with building my form, technique with exercises but my confidence too. During my first couple of weeks of basic training I was so nervous when it came to PTI sessions but thankfully I passed all my fitness tests, without MCT Fitness I wouldn’t be where I am now, thank you so much Matt xx

Fantastic experience: Have been having PTs with Matt for 10 months - fantastic results not only have I become fitter and more toned, I have dropped 2 full dress sizes. Matt is the full package dedicated fitness and nutrition, the only reason I am having to finish is because I am moving - highly recommended. Thank you Matt for everything

Fantastic experience: I’ve been having weekly personal training sessions with Matt for the last few months to regain fitness and improve eating habits. I saw improvements in fitness after only a few sessions and make more mindful eating decisions. The sessions are great and the tailored exercises are challenging yet achievable. 5 stars. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic experience: Love going to Matt’s classes - it’s the highlight of the working week!!

Fantastic experience: Attended the Stronger Leaner Fitter session today. Fantastic trainer with a great full body workout. For someone who doesn't do much exercise it was really tough but I can't wait to go back. Matt made me feel super comfortable and I absolutely loved it.

Fantastic experience: Excellent Coaching/Training by Matt

Fantastic experience: I went to my first session today with MCT Fitness and loved it. Really friendly and fun group of people and the exercises were great. I feel they targeted all muscle groups well and effectively. Matt’s explanations were extremely clear too! I will definitely be joining again once I am back from traveling. Thank you, Matt!

Fantastic experience: I have been taking part in MCT Fitness Trail Troops now for the past month, the sessions are great, different locations across the wirral each week, i feel encouraged throughout the sessions and the others guys are very welcoming. Highly Recommend Matt as an instructor

Fantastic experience: I have attending the bootcamp and trail sessions for a month now, would definitely recommend, always great fun and varied.

Fantastic experience: Matts classes and troop trails are great. The whole group were really welcoming and I felt comfortable straight away. Would recommend to anyone!

Fantastic experience: I have been attending MCT Fitness classes for over a year now and really enjoy Matt's classes. Matt is always trying to keep the classes fresh and fun with lots of variety and differentiation for all abilities. MCT fitness has also adapted the classes to be accessible during the current situation. Matt is a great fitness instructor who is knowledgeable, supportive and encouraging which makes his classes more like a community space rather than just a fitness class. Thanks Matt :)

Fantastic experience: Great and varied workouts every time that suit all abilities paired with knowledgeable input from Matt and a friendly environment. 5 stars.

Fantastic experience: Been coming to Matt’s classes for 5 years now, and for the last 15 months have had weekly personal training with him. Lots of variety, pushes me to improve and have got excellent results. Definitely recommend

Fantastic experience: I attended my first class this week and absolutely loved it. Matt was very helpful when I spoke to him prior to joining. Then both Matt and the group were very welcoming when I turned up. The exercises were good fun, well led but also challenging. I liked the fact that you could go at your own pace so it is very accommodating to anyone of any fitness level. Will definitely be attending more regularly and would recommend to anyone.

Fantastic experience: Really enjoying getting back into shape. Over 10 weeks I have lost 10lb and 2 inches from waist and hips. Matt's instruction has improved ny technique. His encouragement makes me want to work that little bit harder!

Fantastic experience: I spend six months with Matt. He is an excellent personal trainer with lots to give. He supported me in my journey of fitness. After the end of the six months, I am totally a different person, I am stronger, full of energy and my body is more flexible than ever before. Thanks Matt for your time and support. I wish I had chance to stay longer with him but I am leaving the Wirral. Best wishes to you.

Fantastic experience: Excellent, varied classes that work you hard! You will love the equipment used to work every muscle.

Fantastic experience: Great class, Matt is a positive instructor, lots of variety in the Wirral fresh air come rain, shine or hail. Always return feeling energised for the day. All levels of fitness catered for, I highly recommend this class having done years of fitness.

Fantastic experience: Last night I went to my first MCT fitness class and it definitely won’t be my last! Such an interesting and fun training session with a lovely group of people. I would recommend this to anyone who is just starting up or is after a new challenge!

Fantastic experience: Attended my first session this evening, really good atmosphere and varied excercises, definitely be back

Fantastic experience: I first came along to a Saturday morning troop trail conditioning session in November on the recommendation of a friend and since then have also attended the SLF Circuit sessions. I am loving it! Matt is a superb and experienced trainer. He encourages you to push yourself, very much promoting a "can do" mentality. He makes all his classes and trails great fun, introducing lots of variety, and no aspect is intimidating. Importantly he is also very quick to spot if you are putting yourself at risk of injury or failing to isolate the appropriate muscle group through doing an exercise incorrectly, and is very good at demonstrating the correct technique. And as a bonus the wider group is really friendly with a great sense of camaraderie, I already feel part of the community. A milestone for me was the Run Aintree 10K yesterday. I hit the 8K mark and realised I was in sniffing distance of cracking 1 hour for the race which for me would be a tremendous result. Here’s the point where my MCT training comes in…six months ago, before I joined the MCT community, I know full well that, already feeling close to my physical limit, I would have instinctively thought "There's no way I can do that" and would have slacked off. However, I gave myself a good talking to, repeated to myself Matt’s regular mantra of "mind over matter" and lo! I crossed the finish line in in 59 minutes and 42 seconds! The MCT sessions have helped two-fold: first, with upping my fitness levels generally, but secondly, and perhaps more importantly, Matt’s sessions have fundamentally changed my mind-set towards exercise – believing you can do it is very much more than half the battle!

Fantastic experience: to anyone who is looking to start, change or re-establish their fitness plan THIS IS THE PLACE FOR YOU. It has loads of variety and motivation by the bagfull.

Fantastic experience: Joined MCT fitness recently to attend the troop trail sessions, sessions that take you off the beaten track and build your stamina and fitness. I totally love this style of fitness training. Friendly groups, all ranges of fitness, brilliant locations and expert support and coaching.....what more could you need? Daytime runs are great, evening runs present a totally different challenge especially during the dark winter season, but always great fun. MCT also hosts Boxercise and circuit classes, along with providing expert personal trainer support for those that want it. Do yourself a favour and come join the rest of us at MCT!

Fantastic experience: Love all MCT Fitness classes and trail runs, lots of variety and tonnes of encouragement, great to be training outside and they have really made a difference to my strength and fitness. Matt is great for providing alternatives for my dodgy knees as well when needed. Really friendly group to train with, cannot recommend enough.

Fantastic experience: Matt’s group training sessions and bespoke personal training sessions, from beginner to more advanced, are an excellent way to improve your all round fitness, help destress and manage weight. Highly recommend.

Fantastic experience: Whether you want group exercises or one to one training, MCT genuinely listens and adopts your training to your needs whether it’s cardio, strength, power or all three. Been PT-Ing her for over 3 years and never get bored with the variety of classes, techniques and routines

Fantastic experience: My wife and I have trained with Matty for more than 18months both in a group and a one to one session,we have both made great improvements in our physical and mental wellbeing.The groups are very friendly and welcoming.i would recommend them to anybody looking to improve their fitness.there is a variety of classes to choose from to suit different needs.

Fantastic experience: Great tuition , great classes with encouragement all the way through . Equipment superb and above all fun with fitness.

Fantastic experience: MCT sessions are absolutely brilliant. Matty keeps training fresh so each session is different and you never get bored. I can’t recommend enough, I’ve even cancelled a membership with a prestigious gym to be part of the MCT team

Fantastic experience: I would highly recommend Matt's classes and PT sessions. I've joined many gyms, had varied PTs over the years and would honestly say his are the best. Matt takes into consideration each individuals ability and makes you feel very comfortable and more importantly confident in what you are doing. Varied activities and lots of fun! If you are wanting to keep fit, don't waste your money on the gym and get yourself booked into a class or PT session with Matt !

Fantastic experience: Matt is a genuinely great guy with a good sense of humour and work ethic. He spends time getting to know his client's needs of fitness and nutrition and devises individual plans to suit their requirements. Matt is always positive - he manages to push you to achieve that little bit more whilst still making exercise enjoyable!

Fantastic experience: Absolutely love the troop trail conditioning classes.. every week is a different challenge and classes are suited to all abilities. Matt is a dedicated and knowledgeable trainer who helps everyone achieve their fitness goals.

Fantastic experience: I would recommend MCT Fitness to everyone whatever your fitness level, Matty is an experienced trainer that believes in quality over quantity ensuring you are exercising correct but also pushes you. I love Troop Trail Fitness which surprised me as I’m not a great runner or was a fan of it, but the routes change weekly, the group are amazing, supportive and fun and we keep each other inspired and going when we flagging. Stronger Leaner Fitter is the perfect all body toning/cardio combined outdoor class every class is a different circuit that works. I have been going to class with Matt for a year now not only have I seen an improvement t in my Fitness level but my focus and mind, it inspires me to do events with the group like Tough Mudder, Born Survivor and Rough Runner, both classes excellent conditioning for these events .

Fantastic experience: I would recommend MCT Fitness to any one regardless of fitness or age. Matt differentiates every exercise so it is suitable for beginners through to experienced. He has created a friendly and social community where everyone feels welcome.

Fantastic experience: I was introduced to Matt's Troop Trails on Christmas Eve 2017 and have never looked back since that day. I didn't think Bootcamps were for me as I still had a lot of strength to build but the Troop Trails were a great way to get a full body workout, gradually increase my fitness levels and endurance, and have more fun than I've ever had before! Night trails are my absolute favourite as the dark adds another element of adrenaline and challenge. The group are very welcoming and extremely supportive. No one is ever left behind. We all struggle from time to time but there is always someone offering that motivation to keep going and helping you believe in yourself. Matt works very hard to provide new routes and he always keeps us on our toes and striving past our limits! He is the most professional, friendly and supportive trainer I've ever worked with and I have no hesitation in recommending him and MCT Fitness as a company to anyone looking for a refreshing and exciting challenge with a great group of people!

Fantastic experience: Matty is a great trainer, enthusiastic and motivational. Each class caters to all fitness abilities. Troop trail conditioning is particularly good if you want to prepare for events such as tough mudder etc. Great bunch of people to keep fit with too. Whatever your fitness goals are I would recommend MCT fitness to help you achieve them.

Fantastic experience: Been training with Matt for a while now, New set of great friends that i love being around , good social life through it and great fun, training should not be a chore. With Matt and the gang i look forward to the next one.

Fantastic experience: Excellent classes and personal workouts. Knowledge of weight loss and all forms of excercise which will kick start your fitness journey or add to existing fitness. Always very professional and motivational. Classes reasonably priced. No hesitation in recommending Matty Colligan.

Fantastic experience: I love training with this group, everyone is so friendly and Matt the trainer is very knowledgeable. It does not matter whether you are a complete exercise novice and need coaching or you are experienced and need pushing to your limit, Matt the former Marine is able to do it all. This is a great group to join, MCT Fitness is a wonderful unique experience.
