More Than Fitness PTS - Redwood City, California

I'm so glad I found More Than Fitness and started weight training with Matty. I used to have a fitness club membership. I would get motivated for a few weeks, but then I would stop going, so of course, I never saw any real improvement. With Matty, I lift weights twice a week and I am getting so strong! It's amazing how getting stronger makes life easier! I first found Matty last November. He offers a free fitness assessment at his gym in Redwood City on El Camino (across the street from Burger King). After the assessment, you can decide if you want to work with him. If you need a trainer who will keep you safe while you become stronger, then I highly recommend Matty.

I have trained with Matty for years and am very happy I found him. He’s a wonderful individual and a fantastic trainer.

He is very conscientious and diligent in ensuring my technique and posture are always correct. He changes up the routines to ensure I’m never bored. He pushes me just enough to achieve my goals and I’m very happy with the results. I am an older lady and am proud to say that with Matty's training I was successful in lifting a 175lbs hex-bar deadlift.

I highly recommend Matty. You will be very happy with the outcome.

Matty is incredibly knowledgeable, with a deep understanding of exercise physiology, which makes each session not only effective but enlightening. His attention to form and detail is unmatched – he's always quick to spot even the smallest adjustments that make a big difference. He’s also great at diagnosing and addressing any issues to prevent injury and ensure progress.

He makes each workout enjoyable and motivating, which has kept me far more consistent than I've ever been before. His positive energy and enthusiasm are contagious, making every session something I genuinely look forward to. Highly recommend him to anyone looking for a transformative gym experience!

Matty has one of the brightest and most welcoming personalities I’ve seen, and it makes me feel accepted and comfortable in his gym. Beyond getting you to your fitness goals, he makes the process enjoyable, which is much more meaningful. I’m proud to say I’ve been trained by him!

With a personal trainer the truly important thing, I think, is that you want to keep coming back, week after week, year after year. And with Matty you will keep coming back. Everyone comes back. People come back because they get stronger working with him, sure, but really they keep coming back because he is kind, selfless and compassionate. One funny Matty story: he used to work with very old people and a woman had a cat that she could no longer care for. No one, of course, wanted this old woman's old cat and so who takes it in? Matty of course. And then he looks after this old cat for years and feels lucky to have the old cat! Another funny Matty story, I left my phone at the gym the other night and knowing I have young kids and couldn’t easily come back he drove to my building and waited with my phone until I got home! Who does that? Matty. He's an excellent personal trainer and an even better friend. You will be lucky if you can work with him, he'll make every day you see him a little better.

I highly recommend Matty to everyone but especially if you’re dealing with injuries or recovering from one. His knowledge of injury rehabilitation is truly impressive, and he tailors every workout specifically to my needs, ensuring my injury isn’t aggravated. Matty creates a lot of safety and focuses on building strength around my back injury without pushing too hard. He’s also funny and will keep you very entertained. Your session will be over before you realize!

Fitness and working out was something new to my partner and I. We were definitely nervous and the gym always seemed intimidating-until we met Matty. He provides a super comfortable environment to start your fitness journey and really customizes the workouts to your specific level of fitness. From our first session to now, we feel so much stronger and more confident. After each session we leave feeling like we accomplished a great workout. Matty is kind, knowledgeable , and is a great teacher. As for the gym itself, it is super clean with a great variety of gym essentials like machines, weights, mats etc. Everyone there is also really welcoming and I never feel judged. This place is a true gem!

Matty is an excellent trainer. I came in with a goal to bulk up by 20 lb (I had never lifted a dumbbell before) and within a couple of months, reached the goal with ease. He helped out with diet suggestions according to my goals, has varied exercise sets, explaining the benefits of each one, has flexible schedules, has a very structured approach and super fun to train with.
