There is a lot of noise out there now a days in the fitness industry. A lot of contradicting programs and I'm not surprised your confused on what is the most effective way to achieve your goal. Unfortunately a lot of this 'stuff' you read and see on social media is false or sugar coated to sound exciting and interesting.

Structured weight training in a small group of no more than 4 people from my personal training studio in Manly. This program creates a fantastic positive atmosphere for you to perform your best, while still having plenty of individual attention with priority on lifting correctly and improving range of movement.
Offering both face to face OUTDOOR BOXING FITNESS and INTERVAL TRAINING from the park plus ONLINE (via Zoom) HIIT group fitness classes for those who aren't local or want more flexibility. Most clients combine the two options with the support and community aspect along with the benefits of high energy training from your own home to save time but still have a huge amount of accountability from me, your trainer!.

I started working with Matt about 6 months ago and do one on one sessions (could be longer the time has gone so fast). I have MS and when a friend recommended him I connected with Matt through MS QLD. We have been working on my strength so that when/if things get a bit harder I’ll be stronger. Matt has been amazing and always adjusts the workout if I have pain or discomfort. I’ve even seen a difference in my bingo arms! Thank you!!!

As a mum of two young kids, it's been amazing having a regular training spot in Matt's personal training class each week. He tailors the workout to my abilities, with enough of a gentle push to reach my goals and make sustainable change. Would highly recommend PCF, whether it be ICE (bootcamps), FIRE or personal training. Well worth it 👌

I put on 10kg during ISO 😳 but thankfully lost almost all of it in 3 months with Matt’s online boot camps. Love the high intensity sessions which see quick results in conjunction with a healthy diet. Matt is friendly and encouraging and caters to suit everyone. I actually find exercise enjoyable now! 😂🤷♀️💪

I have been doing the small group outdoor sessions for years now. It has been such a great way to stay active. Beautiful setting down by the water, friendly fun people to train with, and the variety and expertise that Matt brings to each session, make this class a fantastic place to stay fit. would recommend to anyone 👍😀

We have just completed 9 months weight and flexibility training with Matt for my 2 dodgy knees and Jeff recovering from 2 hip replacements in the past 3 yrs. Matt's encouragement and training program has been invaluable and we have thoroughly enjoyed our time getting the benefit of increased mobility and strength. It has given us a tremendous… boost and are very motivated to continue our exercise path to keep the joints pain free and maintain muscle strength. We can't thank Matt enough and highly recommend his methods, as he lives and breathes his philosophies. 😀

As a small business owner myself I cherish my time. I spend less than two hours a week with Matt and my whole outlook on fitness and nutrition has changed dramatically. I got great results in the first 3-6 months and nearly four years later I am happier with myself than I have ever been. I look forward to my sessions..I highly recommend him.

I trained with Matt from Personal Challenge Fitness on Weights and Nutrition for over 12 months. In that time I lost just over 24 Kg and I feel great! Being overweight and lacking confidence I found taking the first step was the toughest but after my free consult I left feeling excited about the journey I was about to begin. Matt goes the extra mile to make you feel like a real person and not just another client in for a 45min session, he is just as invested in your journey as you are and the support he offers, especially in those tough "I cant do it" moments is invaluable and a credit to him.

I've just completed 4 months of Matt's I.C.E. and 3 months of F.I.R.E. and have had amazing results. I started with Matt when I turned 50 and very out of shape with joint pain. In only a short time I've lost 13 kgs, don't have anymore joint pain and have developed muscles I didn't even know I had. It was definitely Matt's support and training sessions that pushed me into achieving such great results, I can't thank matt enough.

I signed up with PCF and to the MP Nutrition to improve my fitness and health which was the best decision I have ever made. I have signed up to other programs before but never gotten the results I wanted, but… with PCF I saw results straight away not only in my body but my mindset. I highly recommend PCF if your looking to improve your fitness and health.
Thanks Matt it’s been a great learning experience.

I have been doing Bootcamp with PCF for 4 years and absolutely love it ! There are 5 sessions a week (at a great price ), a choice of am or pm and you can go to as many or few as you like which works perfectly for me as a changeable shift worker. Each session is different , fun and challenging and the group of clients are a great mix of abilities and personalities and Matt the trainer caters fabulously for them all!! I'm addicted !!

I have done I.C.E and F.I.R.E and MP Nutrition and also 1:1 training session's with Matt over the last couple of years.Matt always encourages you to do the best you can and then try to do better. I find that he encourages everyone and is very supportive of everyone that goes to his session and there is always something different in every session we do. I would highly recommend his business to anyone that wants to be fitter and healthier and also to improve their lifestyle choices. I enjoy my session's and hope you will too.
