We’re Matt and Cy, two health & fitness coaches. We're originally from London and now loving life in Sydney!

About Cy

I ‘got into’ fitness and sports when I was at university and tried my hand at every sport I could. I started playing tag rugby (and loved it!) and later represented Great Britain. However, in 2017, and then again in 2019, I ruptured my ACL (ligament in the knee) and underwent two knee reconstructions.

In 2020, I qualified to be a fitness instructor and personal trainer with a keen interest in injury prevention and moving pain-free. I train clients online from around the world to support them to get stronger to do the activities they love most – whether that’s running ultramarathons or playing with their children or grandchildren!

About Matt

My interest in strength training began while playing football at a high level as a teenager. After I stopped playing football at the end of university, I took my strength training to the next level and stepped on stage in my first bodybuilding competition when I was 22. However, during the competition prep, I realised that I had developed an obsessive relationship with exercise and food. I put my Master’s degree in Psychology and my expertise in health and fitness to good use, returning exercise to something enjoyable and part of a balanced lifestyle.

After becoming a PT 3 years ago, I apply my experience with clients to support them in using strength training as a tool to help them feel more confident and enhance their lives, rather than take over it.
