Personalisation
Personalisation

Every body is different. So every program is uniquely tailored to the individual’s body, posture as well as their goals. There are no templated workouts here.


Education
Measure success

A personal trainer should educate their clients on good exercise technique, form as well as explaining how the exercises are going to help you towards your fitness goals. Not only that, but the Personal Trainer themselves must also always be learning and growing, being open to new techniques and research.

Get in touch, let’s talk about what you want to achieve and how I can help!STEP 1

Pre-Exercise Screening

I’ll get you to complete a short form to understand any pre-existing conditions that we may need assistance from another allied health professional to manage.STEP 2

Initial Consultation

When we meet, in my PT studio in Bateau Bay, I’ll do a postural assessment which will give me a good indication of how your body holds itself naturally and if there are things we need to strengthen or stretch. We will also do some movement screening so I can see your natural movements on some of the exercises, which may influence what your fitness program includes. We will also do some body composition testing so we have a baseline to work with and measure success against.STEP 3

I’ve been going to Eye of the Tiger fitness and seeing Matt for the last 5 months. Great trainer very thorough with his attention to detail when it comes to making a plan and making the workouts. His app is easy to use and upload home workouts and food take on. Matt has been very flexible as I’m a shift worker and sometimes my shifts can change at the drop of a hat and Matt has been able to change my PT session around so I can maintain that once a week training. His knowledge on nutrition is easily delivered to his clients and delivered in a way that can be understood. I highly recommend Eye of the Tiger fitness and get Matt to get your goals back on track.

Amazing experience. I would highly recommend Matt if you are looking for a personal trainer. If you are just starting your fitness journey like me or seeking to up your game, this is the place to go. Large home gym with everything you need in a quiet, private cul-de-sac. Matt is very friendly and relatable, focused, knowledgeable, asks a lot of questions, knows exactly what you can and can't do and gives you homework that you will enjoy. You will get fit and learn a lot about health and nutrition along the way.

Matt is an excellent personal trainer. He is enthusiastic, friendly and a great motivater. He took the time to listen to me and my goals and was able to personalise a plan a great plan. Each session was tough yet Matt always found a way to push me to finish. I have seen cheaper options but Matt is worth every cent in my opinion, as you can see that he genuinely cares about you and your health. Couldnt recommend Matt highly enough.

Matt is one of the best trainers I have met. Such a friendly, positive, and dedicated trainer that strives to making sure all of his clients are on the right path to their goals. I am a student doing my practicum with Matt and over these past couple of months, working alongside him I have learned so much from his expertise in the fitness industry. I wouldn’t recommend anyone else to get you on the right track for your fitness journey.

My son Mason really enjoys training with coach Matt, when we found out Matt was running his first speed & agility camp, we didn’t think twice. Mason loved the drills that Matt has set for the program, he makes it fun and also explains it clearly, he really motivates him to push harder. Mason highly recommends this camp for anyone who wants to improve their speed, strength and learn how to move better. Plus it was fun!

Imogen has been working with Matt for approximately three years. Matt has helped imogen to prepare for her basketball trials, keeping moving and fit in the off season and keeping her focused and strong throughout the season. Matt has not only worked one on one with imogen but has written tailored, goal oriented programs that she is able to use to guide her through workouts in the gym or at school at the Sports College. Not only has Matt helped her achieve her sporting goals but he has also been a fantastic constant support in Imogen’s life while negotiating the teenage years. He has offered advice and guidance and helped look after Imogen’s health and well-being holistically.

Matt has been fantastic! My two children started training with him towards the end of last year. He listened carefully to their goals and designed a program specific to their needs and personal capabilities. Both kids thoroughly enjoyed their weekly training sessions with Matt and could feel themselves improving whilst having fun. He kept them motivated and enthusiastic to strive towards their goals and with his guidance, support and specifically designed training program they were able to successfully end their season with their goals accomplished. Matt has a great way with the kids and his passion for a healthy lifestyle certainly encouraged them to further embrace these same values. He is calm, kind, focused, professional and committed. I would not hesitate to recommend Matt to anyone seeking personal training services. Thank you Matt for all your efforts and dedication!

Having my two children train with Matt, the complexity of the sessions was always going to be more than the standard PT sessions, it was two siblings training with completely different stages of ability and confidence. It had the potential to be a disaster. However, as testament to Matt’s professionalism and talent as a PT, I saw two children arrive as siblings and transition into two focused and motivated athletes. Matt structured each session to meet the individual needs and strengths of each child with this resulting in a growth of mindset, athletic ability and confidence within themselves. What a lifelong gift Matt has shared with them!

Highly recommend you check out “Eye of the Tiger“ if your looking for a PT! Matt is very knowledgeable, personable and extremely flexible in accommodating sessions to our busy life. We have 17yr old twins and Matt has been working with both to achieve their individual goals with great success. Both started with the online program during Lockdown originally for fitness and strength, with results only after a few weeks. We now do a combination of online and face to face. As their sporting goals change throughout the season, so do their individual programs. The jump program in particular was one both found very rewarding. They enjoy every session and come away feeling stronger and better about themselves - what parent doesn’t want that!

I hadn’t exercised properly for nearly 2 years, when I was recommended Eye of the Tiger by a good friend. Prior to joining I had only used low Weight dumb bells occasionally, this programme has introduced me to the barbell and heavier weights & I love it! Following Eye of the Tiger’s workout routines gives me clear direction & I’m definitely noticing a change in strength of mindset & body

Mat is an accomplished PT. He goes beyond just saying do 3 more. He actually assesses your body type and then adapts the exercises to your body type and goals. What was the most impressive thing was the programme constructed based on body weight exercises only at the start of lockdown. Most PT would have not bothered if you didn’t have any equipment to use.

Since I started training with Matt 3 months ago, I’ve am now stronger and much healthier. Simple things like running with kids on the beach and walking up and down stairs used to bring pain to my knees and left me feeling generally weak and fatigued. Working full time with 4 kids and their after school sports never left any time for my health. Matt tailored by regime to suit my capability and my busy family life. I can honestly say I enjoyed working out from the get go with Matt. 3 months on and I really feel the benefits. My muscles feel stronger, there’s no more pain in my joints and I look forward to my 7am training sessions - words I never thought I would hear myself say! Even with the recent covid-19 impact, bringing self isolation to most, I still get to work out over zoom with Matt. Matt goes above and beyond, to make sure I get the same level of service. I am now lifting 3 days per week, and improving with every session. A huge confidence booster! Highly recommend Eye of The Tiger Fitness’

Since my 11yr old son has started seeing Matt we seen so many positive changes. Not just physically but in mindset as well. He thoroughly enjoys each session and I know that Matt is pushing him to be faster, more agile and stronger. It’s the little touches that differentiates Matt from other trainers, the personal messages of support and encouragement. Teaching my preteen when being a good human is all about.

If a customised approach, motivation and encouragement is what you’re looking for in a PT, I totally recommend Eye of the Tiger Coaching. Having done very little exercise for most of 2019 due to lack of motivation, I knew I had to create new fitness habits but didn’t know where to begin. I started customised one-on-one fitness training sessions twice a week with Eye of the Tiger Coaching and found Matt’s encouragement and personalised approach fantastic; challenging yet achievable and sustainable. Also, he makes it really enjoyable to train, which was an added encouragement (compared to previous PT sessions at gyms when I couldn’t wait for it to be over). Matt’s professionalism, knowledge and passion for fitness is second to none and I’m looking forward to continuing my fitness journey in 2020 thanks to Matt’s support and inspiration.

Matt is an exceptional personal trainer, mentor and coach. Matt personalises and tailors the training specifically to my individual needs, adjusting accordingly and constantly changing it up. He sends me reminder messages to keep me motivated and to ensure I'm prepared for my sessions. Theres the added bonus of his ability to provide assisted stretching to reduce muscle fatigue and improve flexibility. Matt is one of the most dedicated and committed trainers i've ever used and i cannot recommend Matt highly enough. 😀
