I have been going to Mat price @ Price fitness twice a week for 11 weeks with the goal to GET FIT, LOSE WEIGHT and TONE UP.

I have already dropped 10.7 kilos, 3 dress sizes and my overall fitness has improved dramatically. Mat is an encouraging and motivating trainer who follows up and takes a personal interest in your success. Mat has helped me achieve amazing results I never thought I could!

t keeps me motivated and the results are very positive – I have been training with him for the past 2 years 3 times per week. I am not a fan of the gym but love the results.
My best results? I recently married and was able to fit into a size 10 wedding dress. I had lots of compliments and my step son even thanked Maty in the wedding speech!!
If you’re anything like me and find it hard to keep motivated to go to the gym or exercise classes, Maty is the ideal training inspiration and he can get you into shape and ensure you stay that way.

I had a fitness goal to be 5 kg’s lighter and toned up for my wedding. I only had 6 months to achieve my goal! Mat helped me not only with my weight and cardio training but wrote up and tailored a healthy eating plan to my needs. It’s actually been fun training with Mat even though he worked me hard and pushed me beyond my limits.
Mat is an energetic family man who is extremely qualified and answered all my fitness questions in a language I could understand. Mat always calls to check on my progress and helps me with any of my little “speed bumps”. I am now married and thanks to Mat I’m now motivated, fit, and extremely healthy and I fit perfectly into my dream wedding dress!
I will continue training with Maty for as long as he is a trainer.

“I would encourage any person like myself that is wanting to loose
weight, tone up, feel more alive and have a great time doing it to join
in and train with Mat Price.I used to hate the thought of the gym and anything to do with exercise
until I started training with Mat. My attitude has completely changed
and I now understand the importance of looking after your body through both what you eat and how you exercise.I have been training with Mat for six weeks now and my clothes are
looser, I am a lot fitter and overall my body is beginning to tone up.Mat is encouraging, supportive, and pushes you to achieve the best
results possible from each and every session.I look forward to training with Mat every week and are more than
impressed with my results thus far. I know now that I can achieve the
results I want and Mat has made me see that it is possible. Mat is more
than just a personal trainer, he genuinally cares about seeing you
achieve everything you may have thought was impossible before training with him.Lara Howlett, 21
I began training with Mat Price in August 2010. After several years of training and not seeing the results I desired I decided it was time to seek the advice of a professional. Since starting with Mat I have never felt stronger or healthier. Under Mat’s guidance I began seeing results almost immediately; his nutritional and program advice is spot on and has helped me to improve my cardiovascular fitness levels, tone muscle, reduce body fat, gain strength and perfect my technique. Mat is passionate about fitness and it shows through the energy and enthusiasm he brings to every session. His easy going, friendly personality creates a relaxed and comfortable atmosphere. He motivates me to push past my perceived limits to get results. Mat is a great trainer and I would strongly recommend him to anyone willing to work hard in order to see results.

Mat Price is a personal trainer who leads by example. He practices what he preaches.
From day one Mat was aware of my ability and what it was that I wanted to achieve.
No two training sessions are ever the same and he tailors each session to achieve results.
With his enthusiastic and personable approach, I would highly recommend Mat as the personal trainer to motivate you to achieve your fitness goals.

I’ve been training with Mat since July 2009 and while some mornings are a struggle to lift, push, pull, run, row, cycle or punch, we always get through.
Mat is as enthusiastic as he is professional and will always give 100% and push you for your 100% – whatever that is.I tell Mat what I want to achieve and he delivers on it.
Most Trainers only develop bodies – Mat develops client relationships as well.Most Trainers tell you what you need – Mat asks you what you want.
My level of fitness, weight, body shape and condition is as good now as it was when I was…..much younger.
Thanks Mat.

I have a theory most stupid people don’t know they’re stupid!
Extending that to the unfit I’d have to say most unfit people don’t realise how unfit they are; they just adjust their lives accordingly. Snuggling up in your trackie dacks digging into the icecream and staring at the box is not a choice it’s a lifestyle adjustment forced upon you for failing to move. Mat Price has demonstrated to me how much my fitness levels have curtailed my everyday life and enjoyment.The demands of my business had become such that my priorities had become confused. I was overweight, unfit and unhappy. My bad cholesterol was BAD. My kids had given up on trying to get me to play touch footy or try Rip Stikking.
A workmate booked me a session on my behalf with Mat because he knew I needed a shove to get out of a rut.
I’ve been training and boxing with Mat for 6 months. He developed a diet and a training regime that whilst testing was not discouraging. I’ve lost 10kgs and I’m much fitter. Most importantly I’m much happier. Mat knows his stuff but so do a lot of trainers.
The Price Fitness difference is empathy and interest in your progress. Mat makes it personal. He’s kind of like a horse whisperer only his extra sensory perception relates to humans across all ranges of fitness levels. He senses what you need and encourages you along a path to achieve your goals. He may have been Santa in a past life because he knows when you’ve been naughty and he won’t let you get away with it!
A word of warning to potential clients: Mat can’t count or he counts with a stutter and his memory is shot because he’s always saying: “last set.”
Mat is his own billboard and he loves what he does and it shows in him and in his clients. When it comes to Personal Training if you’re not paying “The Price” you’re probably paying a price.”

After four months with Mat I am feeling fitter and stronger. I have lost weight and I am motivated to reach the goals I have set myself. Mat has been my personal trainer for the past four months.I would have no hesitation in recommending Mat Price from Price Fitness.”When I started with Mat I was in that unmotivated state we all slip into. I had a couple of years of eating incorrectly and had stopped doing the exercise I had always previously enjoyed.I was in the wrong mental state and needed to snap out of it. Mat’s sessions are always hard work but are always varied and always enjoyable. He acknowledges that we all lead different lifestyles and structures his workouts around our particular needs.
Steve McEwan (Complete Air Supply – owner)
After 12 months of personal fitness training with Matthew Price I am thrilled with my results.
Since starting one-on-one training twice a week my cardiovascular fitness has improved and I noticed a marked improvement in my muscle tone and strength. He has shown me how trainings are varied so they are challenging and fun.
I thought I was in pretty good shape until I started personal training with Matt – pain should be his middle name.
He pushes me way beyond what I think I’m capable of – he’ll encourage me when needed, wind me up if necessary and sometimes downright pushes me to the point of exhaustion but it works. He has years and years of experience and knows all there is to know about hard/intense weight training (which is exactly what I wanted to find in my trainer as I wanted to take my training to the next level and beyond).
As a result, training with Matt I am now the strongest I have ever been. I have put on quality muscle while also dropping my body fat levels considerably. I am very happy to say that I’m well on the way to achieving my goals. Matt is a great trainer to have because ‘he lives the life’.
If you want results Matt is the person you need. Training with Matt has become a part of my life now. His enthusiasm and passion inspire me and I cannot recommend him highly enough.”

As someone who has never been to a gym, Mat made me feel at ease and based my entry fitness level on my ability.He slowly ramped up the training, encouraging and challenging me to go to levels I hadn’t been before.Mat took a genuine interest in my quest for fitness with his favourite words “one more” when I didn’t feel like any more.In a ten week period, with three training sessions a week, I lost a total of 16kgs.Mat is someone who will make you feel at ease whatever your fitness levels and he will motivate you to achieve your goals

I decided to have a break from training when my PT left the area mid 2009 and I was not keen on starting again with someone new. My husband, Peter had started training with Mat a few months earlier and booked a training session for me, as a trial. I found Mat had a relaxed friendly approach which made it easy for me to return to my training with enthusiasm and determination to do well. He has a professional approach to my program and sensible diet and exercise plans to suit. I joined his boxing class at Bilinga Surf Club, which he runs twice a week. This class is fun and full, with Mat delivering a wide range of movement and challenges, while catering for all levels and personalities, some of us more challenging than others! I would gladly recommend Mat to any body, of any age or level and know he will help to attain the goals one reaches for

Leanne – Before: 122kg, Currently: 97kg
I felt overwhelmed by my weight gain and I went to Sierra Fitness to seek some help in finding a personal trainer who would ‘lock me in’ to a weight loss program to achieve my goal to lose 40kg. My biggest hurdle was exercising with sore legs from all the weight I was carrying.
Mat Price from Price Fitness has been instrumental in helping me to achieve that goal as I have lost 25kg so far.
I have not noticed the slight increments that he has slowly been implementing to increase my fitness and consequently, together with an eating plan that has been suggested to me by Mat I have been losing, on average 1kg a week.
My legs are slowly getting better too. I feel great and all of my friends and family are so proud of my achievement so far. I could not have done it without Mat’s help, he is a professional trainer and I trust his advice at all times.”

Price Fitness’ approach to training displays an enormous amount of enthusiasm and knowledge.
Not only do they concentrate on what is required when physically training each individual, they also apply an equal amount of focus on nutrition and diet. This allows results and changes to your lifestyle that will last long-term.”

I went to Mat because my daughter Amanda had such good results.
She had been trying to lose weight for a long time without a good result from previous programs & Mat is such a great motivator, he got the mix of exercise & diet just right. She is so excited with her results and our family & friends are full of praise for her commitment to her well being. I wanted to get a lot fitter than I was.
I didn’t really need to lose weight & I thought my existing program of walking, yoga & paddling my kayak was enough but I am much fitter now with only an extra hour of PT each week. Mat really helps me stay motivated by mixing up the exercise routines and moving indoors sometimes. The programs he provides for me to do at home also keep me on the right track.
By having a set time to work out it helps to maintain my commitment to exercise. It’s never too late to start if you sustain exercise you will maintain your quality of life for a much longer time. I’m very happy with my results and continue to exercise daily. I’ve even bought my own boxing gloves and pads! Mat, thanks for all your help and motivation.”

I have been training with Mat at Price Fitness in both personal training and outdoor group boxing sessions for the last 6 months. The facts speak for themselves:
- Pants size from 42inch to 36inch (and 1 pair of 34 jeans).
- Shirt Size XXL to L.
- Total body weight loss of 8kg with a massive change in my whole body shape.
- I struggled to run 10 kilometres and then after 6 months completed the 21.1km half marathon in 2hr15min.
- I have increased my running ability to allow ‘easy speed’ running for up to 3 hours; increased my bench press strength increase by 4x, bar squat increase of 3x; back strength increase of 5x.
- All of my physical dimensions have shrunk with big losses of body fat and increases in muscle, and from inside my old self, I have seen massive definition changes across my shoulders, chest, back arms, legs, abs that my friends and family notice and comment on.
- I have lost a whole chin and whole lumpy chunks of skin and fat from around the front and back of my body” .

I am 51 years old and I can highly recommend Mat Price as a quality trainer. He is dedicated to improving your overall health, fitness and diet.
I came to Mat to lose weight, increase my overall strength and speed and better my diet, as I play over 35s Australian Rules football.
Because of Mat’s quality training and direction I can hold my own when playing against much younger players. I feel better and have much more energy and endurance. Not to mention my wife’s positive comments, that’s always nice. I highly recommend Mat Price indeed.

I had never boxed before I joined Price Fitness’ classes. Working out in a group pushes you hard, the trainer pushes you harder and yet you still have fun”.

I joined the 12 Week Challenge hoping to improve my body image and self-belief. I was suffering from a mild bout of depression as I had endured a tough 12 months personally.
Mat has encouraged me the whole way along, paying particular attention to my diet. Without his encouragement I would not have got this far”.
Chris, Sierra Fitness 2008 12-Week Challenge Champion
I started personal training classes with Mat in November 2008. I have continued doing so and now in August 2009 have successfully lost 30kgs.
However, I have gained so much more than just the weight loss, with Mats help and guidance he has taught me the vital importance of healthy eating, exercise and living a balanced lifestyle.
I feel during the last six months I have grown as a person and now have a positive outlook on life, I feel confident and happy as opposed to the withdrawn and shy person I was when living life as an unhealthy, larger person.
Mat is a very committed and driven personal trainer, he was very devoted to ensuring my weight loss goals were met with endless encouragement and support, and was flexible and understanding when it came to creating meal plans, ultimately making the experience fun and enjoyable rather than pressured and uncomfortable.
I now, with Mat’s help, enjoy exercise and fitness and encourage anybody to have a session with Mat as you to will see results! Thank you Mat”
Amanda, Kirra QLD
For years I have viewed going to the gym as a chore which I would do almost anything to avoid.
When I decided it was time to lose some weight and tone up I looked to Mat for his help. After just two months of training with Mat I have visibly toned up, lost 9KG and am well on my way to my target weight. Mat has been a fantastic help not only with all the training but also with nutritional and lifestyle advice which is effective and easy to take on board.
Mat finds ways to keep each training session different which makes it more enjoyable and certainly keeps me on my toes. Due to work commitments I can’t see Mat as regularly as I would like to, but whenever I’m away he checks up on me to make sure I haven’t slipped up and am still enjoying my training and eating well.
Not only that, but when I am in town, he goes out of his way to ensure that he can train me at my convenience. Now, thanks to Mat, I’m tempted to say I enjoy going to the gym and can see it continuing to be a part of my daily routine in the future.”
Harriet, North Kirra QLD
I have been weight training regularly for the last 7 years and I have trained with many other people throughout this time which has helped me achieve my goals. For the past 12 months however, I have hit a plateau and I felt my fitness level was declining, therefore I decided to try Mat Price from Price Fitness to personal train me for a 12 week period.
Prior to commencement of the 12 week personal training period, Mat consulted with me as to what results I would like to achieve. I explained that I wanted to maintain the same weight but at the same time lose any excess fat that I may be carrying. I asked Mat to push me to the limit and I also said I wanted to become fitter as I had noticed that my cardio was beginning to suffer.
During the 12 week training period Mat pushed me to the limits. The training periods were physically demanding yet Mat was considerate of my own abilities so as not to over stress any exercises and cause injury. Mat maintained some of my previous training routine and incorporated some of his own. He shortened the rest period between sets and he pushed me to failure on all exercise sets.
I have just completed the 12 week training period with Mat and I have achieved the results I was after.
I have maintained the same weight yet I look and feel much fitter. I now enjoy weight training as I am achieving my goals. I have enjoyed training with Mat over the 12 week period so much that I am continuing to have Mat personal train me on a weekly basis.
I highly recommend Mat Price to anybody who is considering getting the most out of their training whether it is for weight loss, muscle gain or fitness.”

If you think that having a personal trainer is a luxury it will soon become clear to you that when you train with Matt he can make a big difference to you in a relatively short space of time.
Mat helped me achieve my personal goal of building lean muscle and increasing my core strength and fitness in a dramatic fashion. He keeps me positive and motivated.
If you are anything like me and find many excuses not to go to the gym or exercise classes, personal training with Mat is the ideal solution.”
