I don’t feel like I woke up one day and decided today I’m going to change my life, it was moreso a series of events that led me to focus on my health and regain some of the person that I once was, AKA pre children.

My starting point began with my diet. After two babies and a health scare I was told that if I didn’t make a change I was heading down a scary path. Thinking back I didn’t have the worst diet, I cooked at home I ate my veggies and I didn’t drink a lot or smoke, my main issue was not understanding what my body could and couldn’t tolerate which in fact was contributing to much more than I understood at the time. My body was retaining an enormous amount of inflammation and this is where I focused first.

I won’t lie it was quite overwhelming at first but once I had the correct tests and started to form a routine and educate myself on how the body works and what diet does to it, it started to click and become easier.

The next step in my journey was moving my body, I decided a gentle approach after so long was the best way to introduce movement back into my routine. Then after months of gentle movement I started to crave more. My body was starting to feel great and more flexible. However my body didn’t feel strong and my weight loss had plateaued.

This is when I reached out to Mathew Baldwin Personal Training. A local Personal training Service located in Peakhurst that is dedicated purely on building, developing and enhancing the health and wellbeing of individuals who attend training sessions.

“Mat has been a great PT, supporting my objectives and I can see continual improvement in my strength goals. Each training session is challenging but rewarding” ~ Marina T

Mat’s main offering is group based strength and conditioning training sessions designed to help and improve all levels of fitness from beginners to advanced trainers and ages. Mats passion and love for personal training is evident, stating he genuinely loves seeing people gain confidence through his strength training group sessions and achieve the results they are working towards.

Having been in the industry for eighteen years Mat has worked with many levels of fitness and experienced many breakthroughs. I have found Mat to be highly experienced within the industry and with a vast knowledge when it comes to strength training that he incorporates into his programs. Especially when it comes to women who are starting from scratch. His desire for growth and developing his skill set to enhance his knowledge to then grow and enhance the experience for each and everyone of his clients is what made all the difference when it came to choosing Mat as my trainer.

The first thing I noticed at my first group session was how approachable, motivating, encouraging, supportive, open and friendly the environment was. There was a range of ages and fitness levels. My first session was chatty and I made friends instantly which made all the difference for me. There is no ego just simple hard work and fun in a friendly and safe environment to suit everyone from teenagers to the elderly, there is always an option to every movement to get YOU the best results.

“Mat is a very good trainer. He always encourages me each session to push harder to reach new goals. I have more enthusiasm for fitness” ~ Rebecca Galletta.

Adopting a variety of styles into this group sessions Mat strives to provide a genuine, open and comfortable environment for both men and women of all fitness levels to train and accomplish their goals.

As they say, it takes 21 days to form a habit however it only takes 3 workouts a week to provide enough stimulus to gain results. I have now been training with Mat for one month which has seen a 1.4kg loss after a plateau for around 3months. You can see why this training package is Mats most popular option within the group based environment. One hour in my day, 3 in my week, is all it took. Its really not that much when you look at the big picture.

Mat really wants his clients to know fitness should be fun, yes, it will challenge you but no matter what is ahead of you there is no client left behind and Mat dedicates himself to not letting you leave with something unachieved. This is an aspect of the training that Mathew Baldwin Personal Training strives towards each and everyday.

Its fun, its challenging but most importantly it will leave you wanting more. Its the healthy addiction and a decision you won’t regret and before long you will be asking yourself why you didn’t start sooner.

Mat is also accepting teens with active kids vouchers which is a great opportunity to save some money which ultimately benefits the family as a whole.
