The Weightlifting LAB

I felt compelled to write another review for The Weightlifting lab, because besides the amazing workouts and personal training, I also have benefited from FST - Fascial Stretch Therapy! Mat goes above and beyond taking numerous certification courses to best serve his clients'. His ability to relieve my back, hip and neck pain through FST and specialized exercises is uncanny. I told him, My personal trainer shouldn't also be my massage therapist and my physio

Matt has helped me accomplish more in the short two months he has been helping me with my mobility, then the past two years trying to increase my mobility with physio exercises. He helped break down the movements so I was better able to understand and execute properly. I am finally isolating the right muscle groups and improving my joint mobility. Grateful for the methods he applies. It is refreshing to have an exercise therapist passionate about educating and empowering his clients.

Mat is so passionate about what he does and that inspires his clients to achieve their goals. Mat is the most knowledgeable personal trainer I've had, and brings many years experience into his program. I came to him a few months ago with very uneven shoulders, lower body weakness and tingling constantly down my arm. Since starting his individual training program, my shoulders are almost equal now and the tingling has majorly improved. I've increased muscle tone and stamina, which is awesome because I'm a busy mom of 3 kids and competitive equestrian. I used to have constant neck and back issues, but since training with Mat, I haven't had any. Mat encourages his clients to stay on track, without making you feel bad if life gets in the way every once in a while. The tech tools he uses are convenient and easy to use. I can't recommend Mat and the Weightlifting Lab enough. He came highly recommended to me by a friend and has exceeded all my expectations. Thanks Mat for all you do! :)

Mat at The Weightlifting LAB isn't your typical trainer! I first connected with Mat when I was struggling with an undiagnosed issue (which i had seen several specialists for) with my right shoulder and knees that were so bad, I struggled getting up a set of stairs at 43 years old! Mat eased me into mobility sessions, and then light training sessions, and then heavier and heaver workouts, and I am extatic to share with you my progress only 6 months later. Shoulder = 98% better and stairs = no issues!! I can believe it. No surgeries, no injections!Mat's combination of in person and at home workouts fit into my scheudle well and he's always there to answer a question anytime I need him. His schedule is flexible and his prices reasonable. Without a doubt, I would highly recommend The Weightlifting LAB! Wpuld give him 1000 stars if I could. Thanks Mat!!

Working with Matt has been a major help to achieving my goals and getting results I didn’t even know would help me. He is extremely technical and knows exactly how to make me progress safely and effectively. As an athlete with a goal that requires strength in particular areas Matt has done an amazing job at creating a schedule and a system that works perfectly for me and my body.

Mat is an amazing coach. He shows great attention to detail and has helped me to overcome my physical weaknesses and then pushed me to excel. He has helped me achieve my goals of being healthy overall and increase muscle strength and power. The gym has everything and is very clean. He even has tasty healthy vegan recipes if interested. Do yourself a favor and go see him if you want to get into the best shape of your life.

Sorry for the novel but I had a lot to say. :)No need to look anywhere else, Mat's your guy!I started with him in first week of January as a 50 years old, diabetic and I was way out of shape to do the activities I love to do. I knew I needed to make some healthy changes. After a few searches and inquiries, I found the Weightlifting Lab and decided to meet up with Mat. It became quite evident early on, that he's a pro and knows his stuff. Especially on training, stretching, recovery, mobility, nutrition and so much more.As a 50 year old out of shape dude, it can be quite scary to start this kind of journey, but from day one Mat made me feel really comfortable where I never felt intimidated or judged in any way. He was able to give me a customized plan that will allow me to meet my goals of losing weight, getting stronger and having better posture and mobility as I age. He’s got a great sense of humour, tons of energy (a little too much early in the morning) to keep my going, and he challenges me in a good way to get results.I can honestly say, getting started with Mat has been a life changer for me and it has been the best decision I’m made in a long time. Today, I did my first gravel ride and I had to tell him that my cycling gear has never fit better and I could tell that all the mobility exercises we’ve been doing, have paid off. Today was by far, the most comfortable rides I’ve had in years! Now I’m motivated to put a lot more Km’s on the bike this summer as it's clear to me that his coaching is working.If you’re looking for someone to help you make healthy changes in your life and you’re not sure where to start, reach out to Mat and you'll be glad you did.

Mat from the The Weightlifting LAB is honestly one of the best trainers I have had the pleasure to work with! He is very knowledgeable and has an awesome sense of humour. He also creates killer programs! (I mean this!) He was also very accommodating when I had an injury and he gave me advice with every session. If you're looking for that perfect trainer, I would highly recommend Mat from The Weightlifting LAB!

Mat at the Weightlifting Lab is the greatest coach ever! My training sessions with him are the highlight of my week. He is very engaging and knowledgeable, and just generally makes working out fun. I have seen great gains in my form and my strength. I usually have to be very mindful of my back in the various movements and with Mats corrections I am able to continue to make progress without feeling any back pain.I highly recommend reaching out to Mat!!

Matt is a very knowledgeable, experienced coach. He will and has helped me to enjoy working out again. He takes the time to make sure that you know what you are doing and where you want to head in your fitness goals. I would recommend him to anybody.
