Testimonials
Matt:
Thanks for the great work out yesterday, Matt! My muscles were so confused, they didn’t know which way they were going! The sprints at the end really taxed my legs (in a good way). Also, have been meaning to tell you… Went to the allergist last week and he was very happy with my spirometer results. My lung capacity has increased tremendously (FEV1/FVC 114%). And that makes me happy! (Small steps…)Gloria – Mom
Matt:
Some thoughts from me this a.m. Yesterday I was having a conversation with myself (as I so often do!) about bootcamp. What I have realized is I have always wanted to be stronger and have attempted to do it in many ways, running, gyms, etc. Some of these methods gave me some good, but short term results. My focus was always the weight loss or looking better. My motivation now is totally different. I am in this for my mental strength. I don’t even focus on my outward appearance. (Don’t get me wrong I am happy with that too!)
I have encountered a lot of negative stress over the past 5 years. I was never able to get my arms around how to have a balanced life in spite of the stress. Now I do. Now I go to bootcamp, redirect my energy to the things that are a priority in my life and let go of the negative. Yes there are days it is harder than others to let go, but the good days seem to be happening more often than not these days.
So thank you again. Your leadership and direction has made all the difference. Have a great weekend.Vicky G. – Mom
I started Fat2Fire Bootcamp a little over six months ago, and I am thrilled with
my progress! When I started, I had quite a bit of difficulty, but thanks to
Matt’s encouragement and positive attitude, I stuck with it. The workouts we do
definitely push me to do more than I would on my own. I’m more confident in my
physical ability, and Matt always reminds me that mental strength is KEY. Since
I started in May, I’ve lost 35 pounds, and am in the best shape of my life. I
don’t have limit myself to the plus size section, which makes clothes shopping
SO much better! I get compliments from family and friends on my appearance, but
I think a big part of it is my inner happiness shining through my (slimmer)
exterior. I’m so excited that my hard work is paying off, and so is Matt!

The past 8 years have probably been the healthiest of my life. Since I started working with Matt, I have gained muscle and lost inches in the right places. Better balance, energy level, strength, exercise technique, and proper nutrition have all been included in my fitness education. Training has been varied and extremely creative, never boring and always challenging. It is the best thing I’ve done for myself and my family. I feel better the older I get.”

“Years of exercise without adequate stretching and injuries from aggressive participation in sports, have taken their toll on my flexibility. Injuries have been caused, at least in part, from using the wrong muscles to compensate for these deficiencies in body mechanics. Matt’s unique approach to training works to correct these problems and his training teaches you to use your muscles and move your body in a way to avoid future injuries. Since starting with Matt, my Yoga instructor noticed a dramatic improvement in my posture and flexibility. I train and study the grappling sport of Brazilian Jiu Jitsu and Matt’s training has had a definite impact on my abilities here as well. I’m hooked!”

Hi Matt,
Thank you so much for reviewing my eating and food diary. I really appreciate it. A little “kick” in the pants is good. So, I headed to Dearborn & stocked up on some additional veggies & protein. As I type this, I am eating a delicious lunch I made with sauted kale & red onions & sliced herbed turkey tenderloin I bought at the market. Yummy!! (The kale is perfectly prepared with a little CRUNCH! ha)
Thanks again for ALL you do to make our workouts successful & fun. I truly enjoy every minute!

Matt and his Fat2Fire BootCamp program helped increase my endurance, strength and overall muscle toning. Matt and the program’s camaraderie were always very motivating! Never known as an early “morning person,” Matt and my fellow Fat2Fire Boot Campers converted me to one. Loved the 6 a.m. class 2x/week — jump started each day and kept me energized throughout. I also appreciated the variety of class day and time offerings, including Sat. 8 a.m. class.

Matt-
Thanks for all you do. I really appreciate everything. For me, getting these emails helps to keep me mindful of me- in the crazy world I live. I always go for everyone else. I am taking time for me and it feels good mentally and physically. You are good at what you do and I am glad I met you. This is what I am doing for me now and I like it!!!!!

Matt,
This is just a letter to let you know that I really appreciate the Fat 2 Fire bootcamp, and the help that you have given to me towards my fitness goals. It is really cool how you accommodate people in which ever level they are working at and push them to go even further. I think that your passionate commitment to health and strength is evident, and that your dedication to making boot camp effective really shines.
