Such a positive, professional, encouraging and supportive program to be apart of. Matt and the team were amazing to work on my fitness goals. I instantly felt comfortable which is huge, as a lot of PT programs can be really intimidating. Matt is very knowledgeable in all aspects of fitness and sets realistic goals but isn’t afraid to challenge you, which gets great results both physically and mentally. Highly recommend!"

I have been training here for just over 3 months and have immediate improvement! The exercises that are normally difficult are made easy at You4ia, and the trainers are always motivating and great people. The most difficult part of training is motivation, but it feels like a family gathering at You4ia."

"I Joined You4ia because Matt came highly recommended. I love training with all the coaches at You4ia as they have extensive knowledge in the field and have helped me achieve my fitness goals. Since I have started training with You4ia I feel stronger overall. Matt keeps my partner and myself accountable for our nutrition which has been the biggest challenge thus far. I will continue to focus on my nutrition with Matt, while aiming to achieve my next goal of 5 pull ups but I don’t doubt I’ll achieve this with the guidance of the You4ia team".

I have never been the person to get involved in gyms or fitness in general but I got to the point where I needed a change and Matt and his staff made it a very non threatening and welcoming environment to get my foot in the door.
I was able to get into the routine by choosing classes and times that worked for me with the help of Matt. Now I've been going on a regular basis and feel the support the You4ia team with constant checking and modifications for where I am at in my fitness journey and have never been asked to push myself past something that could lead to injury.
My biggest win was getting over my biggest challenge. It has been finding consistency in my routine and turning up week after week to work on myself and get that boost of energy that has been a life changer for me. I do a morning class before work and am offered the space and facilities to prepare for the day ahead.
I would highly recommend You4ia to anyone who wants to start or continue their health and fitness journey. The team here are all so supportive and welcoming and you will leave with a physical and mental boost each time."

I first met Matt when he was running You4ia PT sessions at the Airport West footy club. After having my first baby (who is now almost 7!) I saw an ad on Facebook and sent a message. I am SO glad I did - Matt is so passionate, knowledgeable and kind.
He was so supportive and flexible in terms of bringing Darcy along with me to sessions, and even came to my home at times to make it easier for me to make sure I got those workouts in. He varied the sessions to make them interesting, challenging and fun, but most importantly, he showed a genuine interest in me and my family. Darcy has really grown to idolise Matt, and he now talks about wanting to be strong and healthy, "maybe I could go to Matt's gym!"
It has been amazing to see You4ia grow and change over the last few years, and to celebrate the opening of the gym space. Matt has now recruited a team of like-minded trainers, and I love seeing him celebrate his clients' wins. While my current situation with kids and work means that I need to use a 24/7 gym, I stay in touch with Matt and recommend him and the You4ia team to anyone and everyone! x -

I started working with You4ia 6 months ago because I was feeling sluggish and tired all of the time. I hadn’t trained in over 15 years so I was naturally a bit nervous.
After speaking to Matt my nerves were eased instantly. I felt enthused and excited to take action.
This is the best I’ve felt in years. I have been training with both Matt and Noah with my wife for the last 6 months and my life has changed drastically. I have been able to become consistent with my training through You4ia’s tailored approach as well as having energy to complete a full day of work and then have the energy to be active with my kids after a day on the tools!
I’ve learnt that consistency is everything. I’ve had many attempts at weight loss and all involve restricting things where as You4ia’s message is all about balance and adding things in!
I’m extremely thankful for what Matt and the team have done. -

You4ia - Where Fitness Meets Fun and Support. If you're looking for a gym that feels more like a community and less like a chore, You4ia is the place to be, it's a hub of energy, positivity, and encouragement. From the moment you step through the doors, you're greeted with smiles and high-fives from the amazing energetic trainers and fellow members alike. The atmosphere is infectious, fun, making it impossible not to feel motivated to push yourself to new limits. All trainers are not only knowledgeable but also incredibly supportive, ensuring that everyone feels welcome and capable of reaching their goals. I did my first toe push up !
But it's not just about exercising – You4ia really offers that holistic approach to all things eating and fitness. I have been a member of many gyms over the past 20+ years, what makes You4ia standout is their ability to coach on mindset change. It's not about the fad diets and over exercising, it's about being intuitive and listening to your body. It's about small changes in diet. This has meant a steady decrease in weight but more importantly keeping the weight off, fitting back into old clothes and getting stronger.
What truly sets You4ia apart, however, is its sense of community. Unlike other gyms where people often keep to themselves, here, you'll find a network of like-minded individuals cheering you on every step of the way. Whether you're celebrating a personal milestone or just need that extra bit of motivation, you can always count on your fellow members and the trainers for support and encouragement.
So if you're tired of uninspiring gyms and are craving a fun and supportive environment, look no further than You4ia. Your fitness journey starts here. -

I have been training with Matt weekly for about six months now, I love his approach to fitness and movement. He is so encouraging and positive. I am in my 50s and had some issues with inflammation and felt my body seizing up and gaining weight. With Matt’s help and a change of diet I have now lost some weight and moving so much better. The inflammation in my body has also reduced.
Matt works around any niggly issues I have such as shoulder or lower back and changes my workouts so as not to aggravate them. There is always something else we can do to work around any of those problems and still keep moving.
I can’t thank Matt enough for the help and support he has give me this year with my fitness goals. Oh and by the way, even though it’s all business in the gym we can still have a laugh and have some fun while working out too!!

This may sound dramatic, but Matt and You4ia Health have changed my life!
After my first conversation with Matt I knew that our values aligned, and that this wasn’t going to be another one of my short lived attempts at living a healthier lifestyle. Matt focuses on creating better habits in the long term and has provided me with every possible tool to do so, from nutrition to exercise to shifting my mentality and everything in between. This is the first time (after A LOT of attempts) I have stuck to anything health related for so long, and actually see myself continuing on with in the future.
Matt knows exactly how to challenge you in the best way possible and that is evident in the huge progress I have seen in both my workouts and day to day life, where I feel less fatigued, able to do more whilst struggling less, and have so much more confidence in doing things I wouldn’t have previously done.
My biggest challenge during this journey has been my motivation and mindset and Matt is constantly working on those struggles with me, helping me towards my many goals and to achieve consistency. Nothing is ever too much of an ask at You4ia Health and I’ve never once felt like I am on this journey alone which I love! Like I said, it’s not just about the exercise side of things, and that is what sets Matt and You4ia health apart from the rest! Unlike other programs that I have tried in the past which focus on a quick fix approach, You4ia health really is your only fix!

I cannot recommend Matt enough!
Post baby I was so nervous about getting back into movement, but he made it so easy and enjoyable! And he helps keep my tiny human distracted during the session.
He’s such a kind and gentle human but still gives you the push and assertiveness you need to get the workout done. The perfect mix of firm but fair!
Matt, you are an absolute legend of a human and I cannot wait to see what the next session has in store! -

I am re-starting my fitness journey again after motherhood and covid.
I have had personal trainers before, but none that are as understanding and as passionate as Matty.
With Matt the journey isn't just training focused, its the WHOLE approach to a healthy life. Its focusing on balance, training, food education and motivation. He has motived me to create better eating habits, and is pushing me in the right directions with motivation and guidance ( and with my permission - some reward based accountability tasks)
Matt made me feel comfortable from the get go. His relaxed personality is so comforting and enjoyable to train with. But he will push me to my limits.
Matt mixes up my sessions and makes it super fun. I am so glad that I found him. Training with him has made me fall in love with exercise again. The weight loss that is coming with it is a bonus. -

Couldn’t recommend You4ia Health enough. They represent everything I could want in a gym. Matt has been a legend of a P.T and has worked with me to implement lifelong changes and education around nutrition and the importance of movement.
There have been times I’ve wanted to quit due to my own mental battles and if it wasn’t for Matt’s ongoing support and discussions, I wouldn’t be where I am today.
The biggest thing I’ve learned from You4ia is to trust the process and to celebrate the small wins. Zooming out and seeing how far I’ve come isn’t something I would even recognise if it wasn’t for Matt.
This is the first time I’ve been able to shift my mindset and haven’t gone to the gym purely to focus on weight loss, instead i’m going to the gym for my mental health and overall happiness! Keen to see what the next 12 months brings with You4ia! Lessgooo

Nothing but positive vibes and encouragement from this amazing team!! I have been training with Matt and Noah over the last couple of months and it has been nothing short of amazing.
Their constant support and drive to create a welcoming and positive community is something that is admirable. Their words of motivation and kindness is simply what YOU4IA is all about!!
Every session is filled with fun and laughter starting the day off on the right foot!! Their passion and strive to help others become the very best versions of themselves is inspiring. They have been able to help me achieve not only fitness goals but overall have helped me to stay consistent and determined in every aspect of life.
Can't stress enough how they have helped change my outlook on this lifestyle and how beneficial it truly is!! Keep up the amazing work and cannot wait to see YOU4IA continue to grow!!

I started training with Matt at the beginning of this year because I needed/wanted to learn to how to be consistent with training and nutrition as I have never committed fully. Matt has been such an important factor in my training progress as he is supportive and encouraging always and also focuses on mental health which is super important. Working with Matt the last 6-7 months has also allowed me to gain confidence to start back at a gym and i now train 3-4 times a week as well as a weekly PT session and i find my self making better food choices (even if i fall off balance sometimes) which has helped show amazing results physically, mentally and emotionally. Love working with Matt and very excited to continue growing and improving!!
