Lifetime Event and Sports Training

This may be a one-off event, the start of a new-found passion for sport and exercise, or the pursuit of excellence in your chosen field. But achieving your goal needs preparation and dedication. Matt has run marathons, climbed mountains and excels in sports training from amateur to professional.

“I chose Matthew Sims as my PT because of his knowledge and expertise in biomechanics with respect to injury prevention and rehab. He completely transformed my physique and strength level as well as endurance and mental attitude. I was able to go back to distance running and racing, achieving results way beyond my expectation! I can honestly say that, in all my years in fitness and athletics, I couldn’t ask for more professional and in-depth coaching techniques that not only focus on sustained results but also on the safety side of all training, ensuring minimum injury risks and maximum body potential for a given fitness aim.”
“Matt has been my personal trainer for the past three years. I was recovering from a serious knee injury and Matt helped me with the exercises set by my physio. Now that I have recovered from my injury, he has taken my fitness on to a significantly higher level. I have improved hugely to an extent that I have never been fitter in my life. Matt has also given me help and advice with my running too. The gym sessions have also improved my tennis, giving me more core strength and endurance.”
“Matt is very good at understanding the issues people have and what they would like to achieve as an end goal. His attention to detail with the exercises is exemplary. He is very focused and extremely motivational. Equally, Matt is very friendly and personable and a pleasure to spend time with. It is obvious that Matt cares about the outcome and he wants his clients to succeed.”
