MARATHON RUNNER

During my time training with Matt, I have absolutely loved the program he has put together for me as well as the personalized coaching, motivation and insights that he shares with me on an ongoing basis.

At age 58, I realized I need to work on my strength, flexibility and balance in order to continue to hit my goals in both my running and cycling. The program that Matt has constructed for me has been a terrific challenge and has introduced me to exercises that I previously did not think I was capable of doing. His careful instruction on form has ensured that I am doing all these exercises in a safe and efficient way to maximize my time in the gym.

Not only have I noticed improvements in my strength and endurance, the workouts are fun and Matt’s feedback helps keep me focused on achieving my goals! I have never been more excited to go to my gym since I’ve had Matt as a personal trainer!

Thea and I have been working together for almost 5 months. I chose to work with her because I felt she had a sensible no-nonsense approach to health and well-being and my goals were a little more complex than 'weight loss' with various health and energy demand considerations thrown into the mix.

Through it all I have felt incredibly supported and Thea has given me clear, easily incorporated steps that have slowly become habits over time that I know will give me far better health outcomes down the road. I have more energy every day and recent tests have shown huge improvements in all of my nutrient and health markers!

Thea is hugely knowledgeable and has an infectious enthusiasm for all things nutrition and health that makes me feel motivated, and confident in the direction I'm going, and I think I learn something new in every interaction. I couldn't be happier with where I've gotten to and am so excited to see where we end up. 

MASTERS WEIGHTLIFTER & IRONMAN ATHLETE

I was looking for a coach that truly understood being committed to life’s practice. That every day is a new opportunity to show up and build upon yesterday. I have found this in Thea and so much more!

Over the past two years, Thea has listened, watched, and creatively constructed a training and nutrition program that has corrected and strengthened foundational movement issues allowing a three-year struggle with nerve pain to heal. Thea’s program allows me to push myself every day with confidence knowing that a plan is in place—building, recovery, and nutrition. I have been an athlete my entire adult life.

At 58 I’m still evolving. Strength truly has no limits.

Thea believes this and practices it daily both as a coach and as a human being.

I’ve been working with Matt for a year now, and I am thoroughly impressed with his structured program aimed at long-term sustainability. Initially seeking to enhance strength and body composition, I’ve experienced significant improvements in both areas.

Matt’s approach involves thoughtful progressions and clear goals. He conducts a thorough analysis, provides timely feedback, and customizes the program according to my body’s response. His depth of knowledge and understanding of the body are evident in the relevant information that he provides. What sets Matt apart is his genuine care for clients’ long-term progress.

I highly recommend Matt, whether you’re new to training or a seasoned lifter looking to break through plateaus and achieve tangible results.

ROAD CYCLIST CANADIAN MEDALIST & IRONMAN ATHLETE

I have been training with Matt as my coach for about 8 months. He expertly designs my programs and gives me feedback on the videos that I send him.

I have suffered numerous orthopedic injuries and have surgical hardware in 4 areas of my body including both knees. In the short time Matt has provided me with a program and coaching I have seen exponential gains. I can squat below parallel and have PR’d in all my lifts including bench presses, bent-over rows, deadlifts, and weighted step-ups.

Matt is beyond knowledgeable and gives me feedback in a productive and positive manner. Most of all his energy is infectious and I am psyched to have him motivate me and cheer for my every gain. How he has managed to double my workload safely despite my limitations is beyond me. I have recommended Matt to all my fellow athletes and the feedback has been extremely positive.

Simply put you will not find a better, more positive coach that keeps you motivated in a healthy and safe manner.

I’ve trained with Matt before so when Factory Method training was started I knew I wanted to sign up.

At the time I was training twice a week. I was looking to commit to a more intensive program and wanted structure and support. 

Matt created a customized program based on my goals and schedule. He updates my program weekly as I progress and tweaks my program for injury prevention and management. 

We have check-ins multiple times per week which I find really encouraging and supportive. He gives me feedback on my form, sends me videos and stretches for recovery, and keeps me feeling inspired! Not to mention I’ve seen some serious progress. I’m stronger (and it shows), can lift a lot more, and feel really great. 

I can’t say enough about Factory Method Training! Matt is so knowledgeable and good at what he does! 5/5 stars would recommend! 

OLYMPIC WEIGHTLIFTER

Thea has been my nutrition coach for almost a year now. I reached out to Thea because I am an Olympic Weightlifting athlete and I was looking to improve my performance in training and competition by getting some guidance with my nutrition. Thea has gone above and beyond providing me with a customized program to help me fuel my high training demands and ensure I am properly recovered.

Thea is incredibly knowledgeable and I feel comfortable reaching out with any questions I have regarding my training, nutrition, and lifestyle. She listens to my concerns and feedback, answers every question I have thoroughly, and makes tweaks to my program where necessary. Not only does Thea provide me guidance with my nutrition, but also helps me understand the “why” behind everything we are doing.

If you are a competitive athlete with big goals or are working towards leading a healthier lifestyle, I highly recommend you reach out to Thea. I have learned so much from my time working with Thea and I am so thrilled with the progress we have made.

I love working with Matt and Thea, their combined knowledge of fitness and nutrition, and commitment to helping me achieve my goals has and is amazing. 

Right from the beginning, they have provided clear structure and guidance, whilst sharing their wisdom with me so I am able to learn and understand the reasoning behind why we’re putting certain things in place or the types of setup for my personalized workout plans. 

Both Matt and Thea are always at hand when I need them, responding to messages quickly, providing further information, and giving me a push or kick when I need it most! 

It's been clear to me that from the beginning they are truly passionate about helping their clients lead healthier and happier lives. I feel lucky to have found such knowledgeable and supportive coaches. 

Professional Dancer

I've always valued my fitness and strength coming from a professional dance background, and always felt like I understood what it meant to push myself physically. When I first started training with Matt, I was looking to create some consistency in my gym routine and build strength without a specific end goal.

Now being over 2 years in, Matt has completely shifted my perspective on what it means to exceed my physical capacity in the gym. He's helped me develop confidence in lifting heavy weights all while achieving specific strength landmarks that I never would have thought to be possible if it was up to my willpower. He has a gift for seeing his clients' true potential and knows exactly how to carefully customize a program to push his athletes safely and methodically.

If you are someone who is looking to invest in yourself and truly put in work, Matt is the coach for you. He will always hold you accountable and ensure you are staying on track, in a supportive and encouraging manner. He truly cares when it comes to keeping his athletes safe, injury-free, and as strong as possible. Best coach around!
