Matt’s passion for the fitness industry started early on at the age of 12 being inspired by the likes of Arnold Schwarzenegger and other big names from the covers of Muscle & Fitness magazines.... He later went on to compete in the INBA and Australian Defence force titles and won and placed in a number of titles. Whilst serving in the Royal Australian Navy his employment took him to a number of different places and trained him in a number of adventure leadership and Instructor assessor rolls. He has met and worked with a multitude of personalities with vast backgrounds in fitness which has opened his eyes, redefined his concept of fitness forever. Matt was introduced to CrossFit by a close friend who came back from a training exercise with the American Navy SEALs in 2005. This was the catalyst that ignited a desire to learn and train like he had never done before.... As this style and programming was so different from conventional bodybuilding; heads were turned at the local gym to say the least and interest started to build. Matt’s training time then turned into fielding questions and correcting technique... A small group shortly emerged and quickly turned into a large group and like all others before him, was in one way or another asked to leave the gym... Whilst some athletes faces have changed and more instructors have come on board, this small group that started with Matt swinging around on a chin up bar has continued to grow and has gone on to be its own CrossFit Affiliate known as CrossFit Shoalhaven (CFS).
