Both my partner & I have had the privilege of having Matthew Quixley as our personal trainer in Canberra for the past 18 months. Mat has been an inspiration to our physical training program.

During the time we have been with Mat, we have each experienced some physical challenges eg broken elbow, water on the knee, neck problems. Due to Mat's sensitivity, and his professional knowledge, we were able to continue with our ‘training'. Mat prepared a modified program to accommodate our respective challenges, which allowed for this.

Having worked with several other personal trainers, Mat has impressed us with his professional approach. This is evidenced by the thorough preparation of his program for each of us. It is easy to see the gradual progression of intensity, and planned approach to his building on from previous programs. Having said this, once the program is developed, should circumstances change eg not attending sessions due to illness, holidays , work commitments etc Mat tailors the program to cater for these interruptions. Mat's programs are varied, challenging and have shown some real results in our flexibility, strength and aerobic fitness.

Constantly throughout the sessions, Mat observes, advises and encourages us in every aspect of the program. He communicates well, and listens to our particular ‘moods' for that session. Mat has impressed us with his knowledge of physiology and ‘body basics'.

Mat's professionalism, and customer care, is further evidenced by his 100% punctuality and his willingness to cater for clients' ‘lifestyle challenges' such as rescheduling sessions.

Mat does not concentrate solely on exercise, but is always interested in our well being as a whole, discussing and encouraging us about diet and nutrition. He is testimony to what he ‘preaches', and encourages his clients to balance their sessions with goal setting, nutrition discussion and physical exercise.

Having been involved in small business ourselves, we have been most impressed by Mat's initiative and creativity to promote his business. The response to his various campaigns is testimony to his dedication, versatility and originality, as well as his business acumen. Mat deserves to do well with his career.

We would have no hesitation in recommending Mat as a personal trainer to any of our friends, colleagues and associates.

Loving this service! Matt is great and I love that I'm the only one in the studio at any given time. It's a small space but very well-equipped, and Matt is very careful to make sure you work to your capacity while respecting your limits. Matt's the 4th PT I've worked with and I'm very happy with this service. I also likt that I can do a shorter session (45 mins or an hour) for a lower price, given that lack of time is a real issue for me.

Approximate cost: $75 per hour/$65 per 45 mins
